[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Oh probably. In fact, my dictionary is looking rather thin and tattered, with nibble marks all over it.

[Sandra]

That's kind of a give-away, I'd say.

No, just a normal seat in the silver stands, still would have been expensive though. Two years earlier it would have been VIP, but for some reason my sister wanted to go then.

Sorry for talking normal Sandra,I'll shut it now.

[Sandra]

I was just dozing in the corner..

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Did my last post put you to sleep then?

[Sandra]

Actually I hadn't seen it.

*Falls back to sleep*

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Sigh... I make all that effort.

[David]

I can't say anything, my brain has died.

Watch out for zombies!

[Sandra]

Zombies aren't interested in a dead brain. They want them whole and juicy.

[David]

I'm trying tomake Fuel to the Fire workon Smashwords. It keeps rejecting it. Alloria went on fine, and I've done nothing different. That's why my brain has died :~?

[Patti (baconater)]

Im impressed you alphabetised the adjectives GL.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Shhhh... I cut and pasted them. Don't tell...

[Sandra]

Shame on you!

[Sandra]

Nothing since the 12th? Best change that!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Have you been off getting eaten again?

[David]

I'm guessing that blue monsters hibernate and Sandra has been confussed by the unseasonably cold weather.

[Sandra]

I'm enrolling! http://monstersuniversity.com/edu/

[David]

Looks great, I will check more thoroughly when not at work.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Oooh what are you studying?

[Sandra]

I'm a traditional girl: http://monstersuniversity.com/edu/sca...

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

So will you be all scary to your friends when you have finished?

[Sandra]

Hmm...I'm not sure. Could well be.

[David]

Rumour has it there was once a blue monster around these parts.

[Sandra]

Ooh, really? Where?!

[David]

Bloody hell Sandra, you made me jump. I thought this thread had been vacated.

[Sandra]

I come on Goodreads all the time, but haven't jumped into any conversations as I've kind of lost track of them all. This thread is being redecorated again so I've left it to its own devices.

[David]

So everyone is on here, waiting for someone to post something.

Did you get your copy of "Indie Bites" yet?

[Sandra]

I got it a couple of days ago, though haven't read anything yet. I've ordered a few more copies to put in the charity shop I work in. My manager has promised a spot on the till. Woo! There should also be a review coming up in the next few days.

I got side-tracked. Yes is my answer! :-P

[David]

I've approached a couple of people for reviews but haven't got anywhere yet.

I've also put in a request for the library to get a copy. I haven't got an answer for that yet either.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Hi Sandra. How do you like the colour of the new curtains? Quick answer that before Patti gets here!

[Sandra]

I've never had any luck with libraries, and someone mentioned something about getting local papers interested, but I think Cambridge is against supporting people in general as nowhere seems to want to help. Without a large payment, that is!

I think they're lovely, Gingerlily. Could use some tar though. But then they'd be invisible, and people would be able to see through..

[David]

Tar lined curtains! Wouldn't they be extra flamable?

[Sandra]

This is a no-smoking thread, which means the thread is incapable of smoking.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

You might want to ban flames of any knid.

[Sandra]

Is knid a particularly ferocious breed of flame?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Yes. Most fatal fires have flames of some knid.

[Sandra]

Well they're certainly banned from the thread then.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

None of those pesky knids allowed here...

[Sandra]

While we're at it, can we ban kids? I'm not a fan. There's just nothing to them. Disappointing meals.

[Patti (baconater)]

A no smoking thread?

That's me out.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Oh look! A Patti-free thread!

[Patti (baconater)]

I'll just sit in the garden.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Here, have a nice glass of wine and relax there by the pond.

[Patti (baconater)]

No. Too many damn mossies by the pond.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

get a citronella candle

[Patti (baconater)]

Good idea. I'll sit with it next to the trellis.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

uh-oh. There goes the trellis! Good thing there werent any plants on it yet...

[Sandra]

Just had to comment and make it an even 500. Oooh...it looks so nice.
