Now that you mention it, that's not particularly surprising considering it once refused to let me check my email in Texas. I first saw the post on DA as a matter of fact. More He-Man than Randy Savage, when you open the box (as on the outside, it's plain sleek black with nothing written on it but "The Collection") there are two male models, dressed in normal if not somewhat fancy shirts with the diapers on, trying to appear suave.

I hope you succeeded in your slumbering endeavors. I can relate to that statement, dear Bruce. But of course, you will also be credited for wherever else you happen to pop up in my stories, as you are wont to do. What? It's not my fault you're always worming your way into a background scene. I have not played monopoly in many years for that very reason. My grandmother used to be exceedingly good at it and would always win with minimal effort so there was little point in even trying. I do miss that woman. *

I agree, hopefully posting a few new topics in those sections will help as well. One step at a time, you first need members before you can have member complaints. I see no problem with that idea, when were you thinking of implementing it?

My mouse is broken. Again. Thankfully they are cheap here.

If it is a crime to be Canadian, consider yourself lucky not to be executed for attempting to open e-mail in Texas. If it was on a Sunday you probably would have been. Upscale diapers as formalwear? That is a trend I missed completely. I now feel so out of the loop. *conversation fades to black before reforming on the set of a commercial staged in a mansion - a well dressed man approaches an elegant lady, he takes her hand in his and introduces himself to her* "Welcome my dear, I am Hugo Holdencourt the third. I'm sauve, I'm sophisticated and I peed my pants like a little girl when first I saw you." *The commercial message fades again, returning the participants in the conversation to their usual table at the Lounge* I suppose it is no stranger than snuff or spittoons. Did you know it was once trendy to dress your baby in 3-D (disposable designer diapers) by Benetton? Thankfully not in Canada and probably not in the U.S.A., I only learned of it because I am a racing fan. As much as I enjoy marketing, that must be a tough sell. What would the slogan be? "Mum, you're nobody unless your baby is crapping on Benetton." Those are some united colours of Benetton you don't want to see.

Not so much so I will try again tonight. I rather expected you would, I sometimes add something just for you as in my two recent posts. I had a lifetime of experience lurking in the background. I have never been one for Monopoly, it gets boring and/or frustrating too fast. I had more fun with Green Ghost. It was kind of a letdown but you got to play it in the dark on a board which glowed in the dark. When you are 9-12 years old it doesn't get much more exotic that that.

It may be something to catch the eye when people peruse the index. So you are saying we should be promoting the Lounge as the online hangout with the fewest user complaints? When we get more artists here. Since you and I could hardly enter we would probably be lucky to get two entries at present. Or do you think it should be open and not members only? I would have liked to have met your grandmother, there may be a touch of the gift in my family line as well, hence the mystical connection to my online presence.

So I finally finished my drawer. I added a mirror. It does not move exactly the way I wanted it to, but I think it's OK I guess. It can't move forward too much because of the weight of the glass, but it can move back at least. Posted Image
Also, I was doing some line and texture practice because I got a new pen that I just love! Since I got it, I've been really wanting to draw more with pen and ink. Also, I decided to use my Copics to add some color. Posted Image

Thank you! Now I just have to start making the bed. :D After that, I'll pretty much be finished with my project!

So how've you been Geezer?

Oh I can't wait to see the bed. I'm doing well, not getting enough sleep but aside from that I seem to be doing slightly better.

Here is a video from an artist I have posted before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVt1pVxRXGw&feature=youtu.be&list=PLEKv0jWmqLM3uGkCTtLBn6Gof2WRe6n7Y

True enough, still at least I was not in Utah. I likely would have been stoned to death since having an email account implies the ability to read. I feel this should be a real commercial, it would serve dual purpose if we put "This advertisement is sponsored by The B L Lounge" at the end. No, that is one trend I was not aware of, though for a few years we had adds for diapers made to look like they were made out of denim, which were exactly as dumb as they sound. You know, if want some truly fantastic colors, just allow the child to eat crayons. If you chose your colors carefully, you could probably get a rainbow swirl. As I understand it, stomach acid doesn't really do much other than melt wax products. I'd be lying if I said that some small, immature part of myself had never been tempted to ingest purple crayons after learning this information but thankfully maturity won out in the end.

Lurking in the background is the best place to be, sometimes. I never played Green Ghost, but a glow in the dark board sounds delightful.

It certainly wouldn't hurt XD I'm not sure if making it open to non-members would draw positive or negative attention, could go either way really. I think you would have liked her, she was ornery but wise, I consider her influence to be responsible for several of my less objectionable personality traits. I remember when I was a small child, she told me the story of the princess and the pea, who could feel a pea under six mattresses or a dozen feather beds or what have you - and in some versions is severely bruised by it- and thus marries the prince. She then commented that she had no idea how a girl who was bruised by a pea under six mattresses could possibly survive the wedding night.

I have felt quite depressed for most of today. Until I found this. I instantly feel better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppm5_AGtbTo

True enough, not to mention technological skills. Nuthin worse than a girl gittin all uppity cuz she done got herself a education an now she thinks she's smart or sumthin. What better place to sponsor such a commercial? I think our new slogan should be, "The B. L. Lounge: Spread the insanity." I had forgotten about the faux denim diapers, it must have been at a time when I wasn't watching much television. I tend to rate my quality of life by my television viewing; the more tv I watch, the worse my life is going. I think that small part of our minds, larger I am certain, in men, has no doubt prodded us all in that direction at one time. At one time I wished I had the budget for at least six toilets and some plumbing for my art. Quite the stream of conversation we have going here: idiots, diapers and art.

This is Green Ghost: Posted Image

Posted Image


You had to spin the green ghost to move around the board without having to open one of the crypts. I wish I still had my game but if I recall properly, someone walked on it.

There is a positive spin for everything. My supportive dialogue for that whacky social group of the thirties, the Nazi's will have you goosestepping with joy. I would like to keep it inhouse so to speak but having it open could mean reaching more people. Ornery runs in my fathers side of the family, I like ornery people. Well everybody knows that girls lose the pea in their pod on their wedding night.

Why depressed? I hope nothing is wrong. It made me feel better as well but how can you not feel better about yodelling and chickens? Yodelling always makes me feel better although I am more of the Wilf Carter school of yodelling myself. aka Montana Slim on your side of the border. I have been doing the feeling hung over thing all day.

Add a bit more cursing to that statement and you'd fit right in here in rural Arkansas, Bruce. That slogan would be both delightful as well as accurate, speaking of which, I had been wondering for awhile whether to actually use one or multiple slogans on our banners as several of them say different things ("a place of yaoi"/"the friendly hangout"). I usually do not watch television, including streaming services such as Netflix, I usually find myself quickly growing bored about twenty minutes in. Would they have been multi-colored toilets? I think such a mixed stream of conversation is only appropriate for the lounge.

That is unfortunate, it looks rather charming. I like the limited color scheme as most modern board game designs, by contrast, are an assault on the eyes in my opinion.

This is true, and we certainly need more people. Decisions, decisions. A pea in a pod, I am going to start calling it that now.

Uggggghhhhh. So. Much. Crap. I don't like to complain as all things considered, my life is currently rather awesome, but a few choice factors have been conspiring to drive me (further) insane these last few days, I'm not sure whether to sob, froth at the mouth in anger, or just reach for the nearest booze bottle. Luckily all we have is wine which I do not like the taste of, so at least I shan't become an alcoholic just yet. I have heard neither name, I shall have to look them up. How are you, dear Bruce? Nevermind, your edit answered that question, I'm sorry to hear that.

Lyssa,
I know I missed you, but I'm so glad your medical reports came through with flying results. You been trying so hard through the years with so much worry.

Mouse Caper, You have a real talent for creations in wood. You could develop a business for yourself and sell the items on Ebay.

Geezer,
There must be some natural remedy to help you sleep. I have cats. If I am thinking to much, I just start petting the cat while I'm in bed. Somehow concentrating on that clears my mind. One of my cats, Mittens, wants to be under the covers and be petted. Or maybe it was just cold and wanted my body heat. Have you tried a cup of milk. That's how to get babies asleep. I put chocolate in mine.

Dylan,
I'm glad your finals are over. I hope you did well. Let me know sometime how you are doing with other extra activities. Even if you can't log into yahoo, you can still send me a message. I'd love to hear from you. :wub:

Suzu,
I hope you can keep off the booze. A friend of mine has a 30-year old son, who drinks a 30 pack of beer each day. His liver is shot, and the doctors told him there is nothing that they can do for him. He still gets around at only about 100 pounds, but his days are numbered. I'm sorry that your life is so hectic. I wish you the best.

Thanks Dale :)

My older brother has rescued a baby bird. Not egregiously little as it already has feathers, so here's hoping it lives. We have the advantage of being able to keep it warm since we already have heat lamps for the baby chicks. He named it Bruce Irvine Radcliffe Davenshire (think about it). I might snap a picture of him.

Just a quick note before I go to bed, since you are down south, I think the name should end with, "Y'all." Personally I would have went with Rathbone in place of Radcliffe. That may not take it full circle but it does make a nice arc for minds like mine. Irregular minds, you might say.

I am somewhat surprised that he didn't go with Rathbone, now that you mention it. My brother has several silly names that he tends to throw around, one of them is Basil Rathbone. He has also waited for many years to find a place in his writing for a character named Lucian Disguise (Lucy in the sky's).

You are aware I have been frazzled lately, it's because history has repeated itself. I guess some people can only pretend to be decent human beings for short periods of time. SOMEONE has decided that despite the fact that my husband and I are both employed, our jobs are not good enough, so as an "incentive" to do better, is going to try and charge us, wait for it... 800 dollars a month to live here. My husband makes 500 to 600 hundred a month, before gas and the insurance bill. I will be making 100 dollars per night shift on an irregular schedule. So. With my mother's assistance, the plan is to move into my aunt's old house. There's no internet there. We can't be sure when exactly as we have to get the water and electricity turned back, which will still be cheaper than staying here. If it's not one thing, is another.

Suzu,
Maybe things aren't so bad with the computer in the new place. If your computer is set up with WiFi, you can connect to any hotel or restaurant in the area that has WiFi over the airways. If your computer doesn't have it, maybe there is an attachment that is available at BestBuy or somewhere.
Good Luck on the baby bird. :)
I have 5 cats, so that would be impossible here. Last week, one came in with a baby rabbit. I felt badly for it.

Your brother is wise beyond his years, doesn't Rathbone fit in nicely with Bruce?

Because there are so many job opportunities in the big city of Bugtussle, right? Good luck with your move, at least you will be leaving the insanity behind.

What an interesting page this turned out to be, I just scrolled down it and was impressed with the diversity. This is the Lounge we know and love.

Geezer,
Is the lake near you a nice place to visit. Has it been warm enough in N.S. for swimming yet.

Zonkers,
Does your new Tyr Swim Suit fit? The Speedo one must be getting too small. :$
Have you been in the water yet? I got a prescription swim mask, so I can see underwater. I can hardly wait to try it out.

,@Dale, unfortunately there are no restaurants or hotels in this area, it's extremely rural, but things could be worse. Our cat sometimes delivers us chipmunks. Believe or not he has found yet another two baby birds. Apparently there is a very incompetent mother bluebird in the area.

Bruce, there are plenty of jobs I'm sure if you consider drug dealing or running a meth lab a stable career but we do not. Even besides that, not everyone aspires to work their asses off. I'm sure the man can't relate to this but some couples actually want to see each other.

Dale, I think the lake is very nice but it has been nowhere near warm enough for swimming here.

I doubt it. Even of he does I'm sure it doesn't matter. He doesn't need or want the money, we're just supposed to be successful by his ridiculous standards, because people who don't make a lot of money are worthless, right? I'd like to see him get up from his desk and work one long, hard day at a manual labor job.

Making money is easy, to a point the less imagination you have, the easier to make money. All you have to do is cater to peoples vices: food, sex, mind altering substances and greed. Get rich off of other peoples unhealthy habits. I never made more money than I did as a bartender. Being of service, doing something truly creative, that is the challenge.

A bartender, you say? *scratches chin thoughtfully*

Strange mornings in this house...

Scene: Me and my husband (for convenience's sake, we'll call him T) outside Brandon's bedroom door

*knock knock knock*

Brandon *opens door- Ryan is in there with him*:"Yo! Morning."
T:"Morning..."
Me:"We have a problem..."
Brandon:"Oh, what's the problem?"
Me:"Our bed broke."
Ryan:"What? What were you doing?"
T:"Just laying on it!" >_>

-Our room downstairs-

Ryan:"Wow." *lays on bed, which is tilted sharply downward on one side* "Hey, this is awesome!"
Brandon:"Well, I figured this was gonna happen eventually, with those weak boards."
Ryan:"All the blood is rushing to my head. That means I'm smarter than you now, because that's where my brain is."
T:"Uh huuuuuh."
Me:"Soooo where's your mom?"
Brandon:"She's outside. I'll go out and tell-... *his eyes travel to the top of our closet" Is that a can of sliced olives?"
T:"It's my snack!"
Brandon:"..." *leans against closet and starts giggling uncontrollably*

We got the bed fixed, at least! :D

Yes, a bartender. I made good money as such. I was friendly, humorous and entertained people.1 The cute girl complained about the crowd one day and challenged me to do better on tips for my shift. I did.

1 Which only proves that anyone can fake being nice.



I get the feeling there is something I don't know about olives.
