How vexing. LOL
Goesta wrote: "I whingingly cringe as I prostrate (ha!) myself at the depressingly brilliant proposition that Marvin ought to be appointed to some honorary position in our proud palace of persnickety peevishness...."Goesta, I'm all aflutter with annoyance in absolute amazement and awe at your alliterative ability, afore unbeknownst, and I second your suggestion that Marvin somehow serve as a supplicant to the suffering and sometimes sudden sanity that is the complaint department.

LOL As a vegetarian, I possess no bacon syrup. Embarrassingly, I must admit I don't know if snakes have a predilection for dairy products, but they will eat eggs. So if they ate eggs and some cheese they could have an omelette. Stuffing animal fetishes into heart shaped bottles? I have no idea what you're talking about. LOL (repressed giggles) Oh, I bewail the fact I'm a giggler.

I begrudgingly admit that I knew exactly what you were talking about, but was being coy.
I grouse that you are not self-promoting your wonderful story. Nudge, shoulder thump.
Wow. I regret to inform you all that this has become my favorite group, and now unfortunately I must return often. You guys are far to kind. I see that Marvin has caught on, which of course means that I no longer am in favor of him being the group mascot and we should certainly seek out other candidates. Wendy... I am not sure whether you meant to imply that I was too a redhead, but I am not. Also, I sympathize in your conversation about bacon syrup as I am a vegetarian (with vegan tendencies) but am completely lost in your conversation.

Judging by the color in your profile photos which I posted full size for our most lascivious guys and galls to drool over, the color on your camera needs some serious adjustments if you are not a red head.
We will need to have a notarized statement from your barber for us to believe that's auburn or some other color. Add your you cute red cheeks and that cinches the red look. :-)

Your husband (left, white tie) is so hot my laptop screen is melting. If you guys have Christmas plans already, can I have him for New Years?
I hope he likes dumb jocks!
Lustfully, Lucas

Okay, ladies all together now, Aww…
I grudgingly acknowledge that my husband is indeed a muffin, unfortunately for the mod, I have no plans to share him.

I'm not the "mod" or even the moderator anymore I was deposed in a viscious coup where I had to physically threaten Mistress Macky to force her to take the job (so it was sort of a reverse coup.) I'm just an ordinary member with the title Dumb Jock because "Founder" sounded too pompous and conceited.
So since I'm not a moderator can now I borrow your husband, not for too long, perhaps just the summer? It is better to give than … well let's get down to business here. How much do you want for him. I'm able to make substantial cash deals at a moments notice from my secret off-shore almost legal bank accounts. Whatever your price is, I'll double it.

Ahem….the former moderator already has a husband-to-be waiting in the wings. No need to get greedy and beg, borrow, steal, share, seduce, bargain, bribe or pay for someone else’s.I’m fit to be tied right now because all the young and cute hot guys like Lucas and Logan already have partners. When I was their age, I was too busy being a conceited, snotty little bitch to give any man the time of day. Now I’d cut off part of my little finger myself to get any guy to pay attention to me. Waaaaahhhhh!!!!
Logan wrote: "One moment my friend. Will be shortly uploading new photo's to profile, with my husband in these:) 5 min or less."What lovely pictures. They make me feel all teary eyed and it is far too early in the morning for that.
Welcome Logan and congrats on your new book
I'm thoroughly miffed that our wonderful Prince Harry should stoop to coming to the aid of a gay infantryman. It's no job for the fourth in line.http://www.towleroad.com/2013/06/prin...
How dare Logan have such a humpable hubby or, come to think of it, hubby have such a humpable Logan?@ Goesta – might this be the end of Eye Candy infatuation? But no, I know your heart is as wide as the Mississippi in spate and able to encompass many obsessions.

Aww befuddled sighs and grumpy gooey feelings! Sooo romantic! How harrumphingly happy does that make us all feel complainers?

I must complain bitterly about the terrible article Roger just led us to about Prince Harry, because not only did I have to snigger a little at Harry's "Is it because I'm ginger?" quote, but I also ended up clicking on this link which provided another snigger due to this awesome quote about the French anti-gay marriage protests: "Tight pants, muscled physique. It’s like all the homo and none of the phobe."

I wish to raise a stink upon whoever is ignoring
I am devastated Roger in the first half of his comment addressed to yours truly thinks so little of him ("might this be the end of Eye Candy infatuation"); perfection doesn't fade with variety. The rose does not displace the lily, but forms the beginnings of a bouquet. I am miffed to say he gets it right thereafter. Must run, smell the flowers, putter in my beds.

I never thought that France could have a religious right. France has never struck me as being a particularly 'religious' country. To me they have always appeared to be deeply secular with a fringe of Roman Catholicism. Now all of a sudden because of gay marriage they have a 'religious right.'

I was shocked and amazed when I guy paid attention to me at some classes I had to attend. Of course, he thought I was younger than I am (he thought late twenties, early thirties--I don't know if that was flattery or he really didn't know) I'm 44. He was 24, though--I think he thought I was kidding when I told him I was old enough to be his mother when I first met him and we started talking about things. But that's the first time a guy has been interested since I met my SO.
I am aggrieved that it will be near 100 degrees (F) in Denver today, thus I've put away the spray gun, brushes, ladders and the rest of the handy gadgets, and will try to write a bit. However, I would be remiss not to thank all who found my precious Sarah, well, precious. To complete an accounting of my menagerie (you already know Shy, the horse, and Sarah, the dog) and since I now know the secret of posting pictures, I give you Little Mamma who begs almonds daily and takes them from my hand. Here she is when last it snowed in Denver. 
How shall I kick up a fuss when George has such lovely animals to share? Thank you for the lovely pictures.

Ije the TweetAway Queen wrote: "George wrote: "I am aggrieved that it will be near 100 degrees (F) in Denver today, thus I've put away the spray gun, brushes, ladders and the rest of the handy gadgets, and will try to write a bit..."Yes, Little Mamma is a tree squirrel and, no, they don't hibernate. She is less active in the winter, but this was a spring snowstorm and she often greets us by peeking in the front door.
I am really angry with the inefficient people at the Admission Office of the uni for which I made an application to study. They told the head of department that they were unclear why the student--that's me--is talking about January 2013 entry. The m*ron seemed not to bother to check the form I attached. She would have seen I made the frigging application for January 2013 if she had checked the application. I will call the office and give instructions as they seem not to compute how to check the attachments.

Having been on both sides (worked in department offices at two unis and a student, now) I can say that the lack of competent customer service towards students by staff really pisses me off. Where does the money come from to pay their salaries and what is their product? Students!

So Sorry Anil. Seriously I think its appalling how you've been treated recently. Its like one step back every time with NO steps forward. I hope they get this sorted for you my love, and soon. Keep fighting! Hugs.

Hello Anil my friend,
Regrettably but obviously the uni is a member in good standing with the British Bureaucratic Business Bureau. Also a member of The Society of Who the Hell Reads Attachments. Seriously sorry sweet Anil as I have have been since this screw up began so long ago.
So how's the weather in Istanbul? Have you started working on your tan yet? You were looking a bit pale but beautiful in that wonderful poppy picture.
Hugs and more hugs, Lucas

Was never fond of the grey city squirrels we have here but Little Mama is cute as can be with her blond belly and her snow frosted head. You are very patient or she is very trusting or both.
xxx ooo ♡♡♡ Lucas

Maybe she is just greedy Lucas :)
Gosh darn it! Upset with life right now. Just went to the dentist on Wednesday and now I have to go tomorrow:( I just hope they can fix things in time for vaca!
Ije the TweetAway Queen wrote: "Maybe she is just greedy Lucas :)"Little Mamma is indeed greedy, but she's insinuated her wee self into several human hearts, and she is indulged. Lucas--(xoxoxoxoxo!!!)--she came to us very young and perhaps hadn't yet learned to be fearful, and thereby we were able to establish the trust necessary to interact with her. She is a particular joy...

I don't know if its too late to comment on bacon syrup, but this last Christmas season we had several events where we made BACON CANDY. It was quite the hit. Many people complained they became addicted to it. Sorry--not.

Welcome Logan!
For one horrified moment, I thought you meant our Tj, of the most adorable grandson, wasn't prepared for the end of the world, then I thought, well, I don't know if any of us are prepared for the end of the world, really. I think yelling out "Albatross!" might be a good start. Then I realized you were talking about your book. Thank goodness. :-)
I also have to reluctantly admit I like your cover, because it reminds me of the end of Muse's "2nd Law" (the second one) video when I saw them in concert. I think it could be possible somehow to link entropy to zombies, because in a sense, zombies are pretty much a closed system, except they do have the brains coming in, but are they enough to keep the eventual breakdown from happening? Drifted off there in speculative thought for a moment.
There are lots of writers here, as I'm sure Averin and Lucas
told youneglected to tell you. I'm not entirely sure I count yet.I will most definitely
notbe checking out your website. I left FB a while ago and only signed up again to keep up on the status of an ill former student (shhh, we're not supposed to have favorite students. You'll find I'm very impartial). He is also a red head.Congratulations on your new book! I'll be slurking over to your website to check it out--I remember it, though, because of the cover.
Hugs.
