Hi everyone, I've been lurking in the background here for about a year. Now I don't know if it's because I'm trying to quit smoking, and dieting, and I've got a 16 yr. old daughter getting ready for homecoming etc, etc, etc, but everytime I come over here lately everybody is arguing with each other. What happened to the laughing, joking, and cutting up? I have learned a great deal from ya'll. Although I've never posted before I feel as if I know some of you from your posts. I know which ones I can count on for a laugh, which ones gives great advice, which ones knows it all (smile), but come on gang, this isn't fun anymore. When I first started Ebay, it was the most fun. Yes my sales are slow, but I enjoy meeting the people. So what do ya say? Let's get back to the joking and helping encourage each other and have fun. So who's going to be first to make me laugh? I just know someone has a funny story out there to share. Now I'm going to give up that diet and go have that brownie I've been craving and when I return I expect some laughter. Thanks ya'll. You really have kept me going the past year.

You are right. Things have changed greatly..Many new people, a much broader group, with some good, bad and indiferrent. Some just sign up to only disturb the site. Makes it difficult for all...There have been more trolls around just in the last few weeks than in almost two years...But the good guys are still around, so take heart.. Want to start a food fignt?....that's fun..

Hey, food fight sounds great, if that's what it takes. (as long as I don't have to clean up) Of course you start throwing food at me and there goes my diet for sure.

Trying to quit smoking AND diet at the same time? Want me to come over and whip you with a big stick every morning so you have once a day you don't notice how miserable you are?
You gotta be tough tough tough. I would probably get confused and whip out a cigerette and eat it.

I could use a pick me up, too! My 28 year old daughter and 4 year old grandson are moving in with my husband and me, and my 20 year old son just wrecked his car. I knew things were getting too quiet.

I know what you mean, when things start settling down and getting quiet, that's when I get really worried. I had a great Christmas rush last year. Do you think it will be like that this year? I went to order priority boxes and I keep pulling up a page that says none available use back button for next page, when I do that I still get nothing. Is anyone else having problems or am I doing something wrong?

Here's a joke to brighten your day.
Every "Hormone Hostage" knows that there are days in the month when all a man has to do is open his mouth and he takes his life in his hands. This is a handy guide as a discussion tool or simply print it out and give It to your loved one to keep in his wallet...
DANGEROUS: What's for dinner?
SAFER: Can I help you with dinner?
SAFEST: Where would you like to go for dinner?
DANGEROUS: Are you wearing THAT?
SAFER: Gee, you look good in brown.
SAFEST: Wow! Look at you!
DANGEROUS: What are you so worked up about?
SAFER: Could we be overreacting?
SAFEST: Here's fifty dollars.
DANGEROUS: Should you be eating that?
SAFER: You know, I've got lots of apples left.
SAFEST: Can I get you a glass of wine with that?
DANGEROUS: What did you DO all day?
SAFER: I hope you didn't overdo today.
SAFEST: I've always loved you in that robe.

Five surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients to
operate on.
The first surgeon says, "I like to see accountants on my
operating table, because when you open them up, everything
inside is numbered."
The second responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians!
Everything inside them is color coded."
The third surgeon says, "No, I really think librarians are the best;
everything inside them is in alphabetical order."
The fourth surgeon chimes in: "You know, I like construction
workers...
those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at
the
end, and when the job takes longer than you said it would."
But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed: "You're all
wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts,
no heart, and no spine, and the head and butt are interchangeable."

A man goes to visit his 85-year-old grandfather in the hospital.
"How are you grandpa?" he asks. "Feeling fine," says the old man."What's the
food like?"
"Terrific, wonderful menus."
"And the nursing?"
"Just couldn't be better. These young nurses really take care of you."
"What about sleeping? Do you sleep OK?"
"No problem at all --- nine hours solid every night. At 10
o'clock they bring me a cup of hot chocolate and a Viagra tablet ... and
that's it. I go out like a light."
The grandson is puzzled and a little alarmed by this, so rushes off to
question the Nurse in charge. "What are you people doing," he
says, "I'm told you're giving an 85-year-old Viagra on a daily basis.
Surely that can't be true?" "Oh, yes," replies the Nurse. "Every night at
10 o'clock we give him a cup of hot chocolate and a Viagra tablet. It works
wonderfully well.
The hot chocolate makes him sleep, and the Viagra stops him from rolling
out of bed."

Hello Everyone,
I'm going to ask you to start a thread in the Round Table area of AuctionWatch.com to continue this thread. That is the forum for non-auction related discussion.
Once you start a thread there, I will provide a link from this thread leading folks in that direction.
