Complaint Department discussion
POST COMPLAINTS HERE
I am a little bit angry with the simple rule that I should start with a complaint phrase to post on this thread.Thank you, Macky. I wouldn't have mind taking a nude photo of mine on that land. However, I was with friends and they would have been shocked if I had had taken a nude photo.:-))
I'm annoyed because this thread is making me smile so much. Anil you are a sweet man and you've made my day!
I am angry with myself for being so thick sometimes. I didn't get Goesta's joke.:-) *sends his profile link to Goesta so as to make him regret making jokes* :-))
I am annoyed that Lucas will be annoyed to read that Macky is enjoying this thread despite being annoyed.:-) Likewise, Macky. Your lovely words made my day, too.*hugs*
Goesta wrote: "I am deeply ashamed that I rushed to check out Boyd's new photo. Still way fuzzy (the photo, not Boyd), but dang!..."Goesta, for you I added an in-focus close-up photo clear enough that you can examine the nipples if that will solve your fuzzy complaint. L0L
Goesta is annoyed at himself for sitting at his computer, waiting for Anil's link, which must have taken the long route. He apologizes to Anil for not being very clear, which being surrounded by lovely men will do.
I am (not) ashamed for enjoying to look at Boyd's nipples. Yum!

Anil you are such an exemplary member of the Complaint Department by following Rule #1 (postings must be in the form of a complaint) that I'm very grateful to you and send my fondest best wishes.
Don't worry I could never get annoyed at Macky for failing to follow the rules because I love her dearly. She is the kindest, most empathetic, fun and creatively funny member of any group and I can't consider anything she does to be wrong.
Boyd on the other hand is another matter. He's a student at NYU also and if he doesn't follow the rules there could be severe consequences. Right now he's heading for a good spanking for not posting his messages as complaints.

Well I think both Anil and Boyd pictures is sexy, and complain that if you ever see the real picture of me then I just look ordinary and they are looking sexy and cool :-)
And I will complain that no one of you seem to have read my first complain :-(
And I will complain that no one of you seem to have read my first complain :-(
I'm bangjangingly kvetched that my lovely Not Dumb Jock Lucas is not going to reprimand me as I was expecting a spanking..... Ah well I can go with being loved dearly instead if I have to! Humph!
I'm genuinely put out that due to the rusty, bizarre cogs of Italian bureaucracy, my hubby is inundated with forms and probably won't be joining me until a week later than planned. On the other hand, I will probably get more writing done until then. Two words especially. Still, feeling rather Blue.
Balls!
Complaining that I forgot to tell everyone...My in-laws are gone!!!! Yup, only about an hour away but still gone:)) I couldn't believe how quickly they left. I'm just glad I won't be putting up with them for longer!On another note, I'm peeved I need to think about buying a new "casual dress" for my brother's graduation. I haven't dressed up in a long time:( Hmmm, wish I could just stick to jeans.
Anil wrote: "I am astonished that Macky wants to see those photos. You'll be cursing on me for causing you to puke all over your keyboard and the monitor and clean it afterwards if you see those photos as well ..."Well...well...what the heck! I mean that just upsets me. I'm hubby is a hairy man and I don't care. Some men get stuck on the dumbest things:(

HOORAY FOR Tj—NO MORE INLAWS~!
I'm kicking myself in an angry way because I never got round to answering Helles post about her complaint today. Apologies sweetie I'm sorry you've had another bad day with pain. Neck pain is awful and that Doctorow is terrible for letting you get to this stage. Feel better soon Helle. Hugs. Xxx
@ Goesta... I wish your hubby was home with you too. Big hugs. Blue Balls is not a good state to be in. Immerse yourself in Lucien, Rain and the gang. The week will pass before you know it. Xxx
@ TJ.... YAAAY no more In laws. Whoop!
Thank you Macky for your sweet and kind words that means a lot to me, thank you for your support xxx <3
Thank you All for your sweet and kind words that means a lot to me, thank you All for your support xxx <3
Hugs to everyone and smooches
Goesta sorry to hear that you have blue balls, and wish your hubby soon are home with you. Lucien, Rain and the group are so amazing, can't wait to read more and read your book :-)
Tj good that your INLAWS are gone. Now you have excuse to buy new clothes to your brother's graduation :-) Congratulations to your brother

I'm flabbergasted that people seem to think my balls are any colour other than, lemme see, tan? Ruddy?I have no idea who would suggest such a thing. Shame on them. ;)
I'm PO'd to think that Goestas balls are not blue in fact I'm terribly disappointed. Please Goesta go and sit in the freezer!!
I'm overjoyed and jubilant to catch up on all these posts about the lovely hairy/hair free/abs/pecs/various body parts belonging to all the wonderful men of the Complaints Department, who are indeed all good looking fellas.I'm happy that Helle is getting a new doctor and hope that this is a sign that things are finally moving onwards and upwards for her :)
I'm Lolling at Goesta's comments about his Chinese folding screen and am quite happy to admit that I am a pervy old ogler with a similar screen devoted to a certain KW.
I'm happy that TJ's in-laws have finally gone.
And finally I'm incredibly happy to post these 'complaints' in the form of non-complaints because I'm optimistic I might get a good spanking out of it :)
I am negatively astounded that I am apparently turning into a sleek, sexy, amazingly endowed blue Avatar.
I am complaining that our sexy and brainiac moderator didn't obey his rules although it is something to celebrate to get rid of in-laws. I suggest that he should bend over and each active members should take turns to spank him. Boy, am I getting a light BDSM boy?
I am vexed that our lovely moderator keeps disobeying his rules. I am also vexed at that I have a headache.:-/
I would like to lament that now my oldest is sick *sigh* Oh, and that I "won" a free copy of a book but it hasn't been uploaded to my account yet and I REALLY want to read it. Oh well, I guess I can't really complain since it is free so it will come when it comes.
Sorry to hear that you have a headache Anil :-( get well soon
Kendra lucky to hear that you won a book, what titel and from whom?!? Sorry to hear that it's not uploaded yet, sorry to hear that your oldest is sick, get well soon
I really hope the new doctor are good and will really help me and to have biological medicin the rest of my life and that they never will take it away from me again, to never Lie to me anymore and to hear what I will say when I am not well *grrrr* Well I got to see that tomorrow and maybe on all the others meeting with the new doctor if he is good that is *roll eyes*

Macky wrote: "Haha! I mean Grrrrrrrr!"May I just complain that my post was in answer to Lucas' post not poor Anils headache ( hope its better soon ) or Kendras not uploaded book. I was obviously writing it as they were posting theirs.
@ Helle.. Good luck tomorrow honey! Hope the new docs are more caring and helpful.
I am complaining that the go-go dancers were wearing glittery underpants and helmets made of disco balls. Can they wear their birthday suit next time, please?
I'm whining that Anil will not be helping his headache if he's watching go go dancers in sparkly undies and glitter ball helmets!
I will (quietly) bemoan Anil having a headache:( Helle, I'm hoping this doctor is MUCH better than the last! *grumbles over stupid doctors being idiots*
I have to throw the hissy fit to end all hissy fits, because since this was the first time I went and snuck on Anil's pic I have to admit he ought to have a stellar roll in the upcoming tells of Spermherazade & the Raging Camel Riders. Perhaps he should be the lovely Sultan.And have to add a pervvy complaint because what I liked most about Boyd's pics was the phone cover, you don't see a naughty happy face every day around this parts. Dear Boyd you'd be less cute without the curls but that would be a total sacrilege. The right guy will come and love the cuteness and everything else in that lovely package. Just keep your eyes open.
I must protest the storage of transmissions on garage floors. One, they make a mess! Two, yes, I know there is all this space around it and it is a big obvious obstacle but someone could trip on it and hurt themselves. Really, the danger of this should be pointed out to those that are less clumsy than some so they know! *grumbles about bruises*
Anil wrote: "I am vexed that our lovely moderator keeps disobeying his rules. I am also vexed at that I have a headache.:-/"
Would you feel better if I rewrote the rules to exempt the moderator from rule #1? Besides Anil, just for you I posted message 2805 which not only contains the word complain but 17 other words or phrased that mean complain just so you wouldn't think I wasn't complaining.
Actually I have a legitimate complaint. I made a banner for the group so that the home page is now redecorated and added a section to the Complaint Department for TOPICS CREATED BY MEMBERS so that anyone can start their own topic that interests them.
However after doing this remodeling no one has ever said a word about my efforts to improve the group. I feel so sad that nobody even noticed.
:::sigh:::
I'm very sorry you have a headache. I hate headaches. The worst place to hurt is in your brain. Fortunately as a dumb jock my brain is so small it's hardly noticeable when I get a headache, Still I feel very badly that you have a headache because I know it can really hurt and ruin your day.
I hope you are feeling better by the time you read this.
Hugs, Lucas

Gabbo's in trouble now. Just wait until Boyd hears that instead of his perfect pecs and astonishing abs not to mention his gorgeous green eyes and rosy cheeks what you liked best about the photos of his bod in his profile was the camera cover.
I wouldn't be surprised if he read your message and left here to go pout for a week or a month about you not finding him sexy. Poor guy. Not only doesn't he have a boyfriend but a funny smily face cover is more likable than his nicely muscled body. Of course he does need to bulk up a bit and start pumping iron but he's not bad. At 22 years old, he's just too pretty for his own good :-)

Haha... I have a complaint!!!! Yes, Me... In my infinite wisdom I decided to get up early this morning grab a pot of coffee and crack on with catching up with my reviews on the blog, bearing in mind I am a creature of the night normally... and do my best work while others sleep. NEVER, and I will repeat it NEVER will I do that ever again! Instead of catching up I am now behind as I have done no reading and it has taken all day to write a review!! What on earth is all that about!!I also need to apologise for being remiss in my complaining duties and I will take my punishment accordingly!!
I have a complaint.... It's silly but, here it goes! I'm peeved that I play the word association games in our group because I'm a horrible conversationalist and am very intimidated that if I comment on someone's complaint my words may be misconstrued as being abrupt, condescending, polarizing, alienating, judgmental (damn you word association game!) Yeah, my computer speak blows monkey chunks and I'm nervous I'll unintentionally offend others. Whew! Word vomit! Wish I could write like Monique!
I lament that I haven't updated my photos in a long time:(@Anya - I'm the same way! I still try but....
Oh Noes!! I am concerned that the lovely Anya could possibly think that her words would be misconstrued... Anya... as you reside in Germany and English is not your first language, I am totally in awe of your linguistic skills, especially considering us Brits are so ignorant when it comes to languages. And. I will hold my hand up and say "yes" I am one of those who barely has command of one! Yet my mother who is Dutch can speak five!?! Mmmm ...and before you ask, no I can't speak Dutch either!?! I am a numbers gal at the end of the day!Oh... and I so suck at being negative!
Grump Grump (Happy Anil? Those grumps make this a complaint :-)
@Anya your complaint was charming and fun. You do very well when you post messages. Please post more often because we miss your voice.
@Tj, On the other hand you have shown us photos of son and grandbaby right here plus the ones you have in your profile are so great I hope you only add new ones not change old ones which are terrific.
@ Monique I read your blog whenever it updates and I was just thinking about how prolific you are with your reviews. You are very industrious and professional as a blogger. You need to list your Monique's Musings blog in our Bloggers Self Promotion topic at:

I have to complain that I have been very busy all day so this is the first time I have visited since last night. I will therefore visit the Banner and open a topic for discussion.
I am surprised, and complaining that Lucas thought I was serious when I was just mock-complaining. Therefore, I am tutting, tsking and doing other disapproving exclamations at him! I should have added smileys to make it more understandable, but I thought spanning should be the cue. I am not into it at all. ;-) I saw the photo on your second after I had posted my "complaint". I post via my phone and it doesn't allow me to edit my posts.:-( Goodreads should release a new version of the app allowing editing and quoting.
Thanks, I feel better, but sleep has gone. So that is my serious complaint. I'll go back to sleep shortly. The good thing, I don't have hungover after having drunk more than my limit--two beers--last night. Yay for having a body that is resistant to hungovers.
Gabbo, Thank you. ;-) I think I should be a character in a book titled forever Mister Palmerandfivebrotherers. :-))
I want to raise a stink. The link below appeared only minutes ago on Facebook, and while its implications are likely to hit British citizen-creators more than any, it is the thin end of the copyright wedge for everyone. Now the Silicon Valley Global Corps have the right to take people's creation as their won and even resell them…http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/04/...
Well that inhales in the extreme. I bet it's all a part of the CISPA thing that people have been fighting against. Grrrrr as Helle would say.
I would like to add my lament that what roger has said is absolutely appalling. The bad side of the Internet rearing its ugly head.

From what the Register has printed it seems to apply to illustrations too.
Great! ...er... I mean I regret that I now own every book cover Zack and Oliver Frey ever did which now appear on Goodreads so I can sell them in the UK without paying Oliver or his agent Roger. In fact since Oliver has done the cover art for a bunch of books by Roger, I now own all of Roger's book covers and can sell the art work without having to pay him.
Oh I forgot, if I google for images using "zack art" as a search I can copy of bunch of Oliver's art and claim it as my own.

It went against all expectations the new doctor gave me a thorough investigation, listened to me and wrote down everything about my illness. I need a new MRI and I will meet again already about a month, he gave me a blockade on my shoulder and said there is much activity there and it's normal to get the disease in the shoulder and arm.
I went there for the first time with the feeling that he really wants his patient the best listening and will hear about what the patient has to say, he was angry and frightened by what we experienced with the previous doctor.
I feel safe at last and really feel that the doctor will listen to me, he tells about my symptoms and says it is common and this is common. Thorough in his stuff and should see his record and I am sure that everything is in the conversation and study new MRI and meeting in a month.

OMG, so unbelievably pissed for Roger and Zach/Oliver and all the others this crap could affect. This sort of news makes me very sad, indeed. :<OMG, so unfreakingbelievably happy Helle has had some great news and positive experience. I just know relief is in sight, but will continue with my super positive vipes and thoughts just in case. :)

According to this other article in The Register US artists and photographers are going to be affected too,
""If the use of foreign works in the UK is directly or indirectly permitted by this Bill, a firestorm of international litigation will immediately ensue, and any persons, businesses or institutions making use of foreign works under this Bill would be well served to expect to be promptly sued by the copyright holders, incurring significant liability for copyright infringement," the US snappers point out to Cable in the letter."
"Our members are likely to aggressively pursue legal remedies for any copyright infringements resulting from this Bill."
"This is no idle threat. If you're an American photographer or illustrator you're not obliged to register your work with the US Copyright Office - copyright is recognised under the Berne Convention as an automatic right."

In truth, so far I've only been able to finagle pictures of Boyd. Whoops, now he knows!
