Question for the older wiser members...Is it just me or is the ficus typically involving a female sending a male to the ficus??
i'm neither older nor wiser, but yes.
Typically but not always. I have spent time behind the ficus, not for a long time though. It's pretty comfy, you should try it.
Hmmm, you may be on to something Cynthia.
It might be that grumpy look you have on your face Barb.
::peeks out from behind the tree near Amelia::Still here.

Well, that certainly clears things up for me.
I can always count on Phil! :)
(I've never been sent to the ficus...wonder what that means?)

Be sure to bring a snake to unclog the mess when you're done.
There is. The Ficus is a friend of mine.
Oh, Larry's back. Are you in Colorado?
I saw that you are...gotta be honest, I checked him/her out. The Ficus reads books!
Mod
It is usually me sending Jim, Kevin, or Larry there. More recently Phil too. I would send Clark but frankly I'm a wee bit scared of Clark.
I don't send girls often. Especially now that it has become Old Chicago back there.
Gosh, I haven't been reading close enough lately.

Pah! He's full of shit.

His bark is worse than his bite, Sally.
Michele have you been shoveling today? We have slushy snow.
Cynthia wrote: "His bark is worse than his bite, Sally."I've always wondered...if a dog is mute, does that mean his bite is worse than his bark?
Cynthia, no snow here thank goodness but there is rain in our forecast for today and tomorrow.
Michele wrote: "Cynthia, no snow here thank goodness but there is rain in our forecast for today and tomorrow."No floods, I hope.
flooding in Massachusetts but not in NH yet. Maybe later in March.
Mod
I know. I do worry about our Michele.
It's been raining here so much, I think I'm starting to mildew...
Stacia, yes.
Stacia, yes.

I had to go back a page because I couldn't remember what the heck I asked.
Hi, I'm Ian (but you probably already know that if you read the message header first).This is my introduction to the Big Time.
Protocol
I have read the first post but immediately jumped to page 39, so I apologise if I introduce myself in a way that I shouldn't have (and wouldn't have, if I had read the other 38 pages).
I am doing this, because I have been having a great time on the cricket topic, being downright vulgar (and apparently getting away with it) and whinging about our pathetic cricket team.
However, MC Gail Cyborg politely informed me that she would only release me from her grip-like vice, I mean her vice-like grip, if I introduced myself to the non-cricketers in the Terminal Coffee Lounge.
So here I am.
Interests
Interests, I've had a few. And if you don't like them, I have others.
But as I said to Gail (sorry if I've repeated this before): My non-literary interests are pretty diverse, but they start with music, film, humour, art, music, film, repetition.
Oh, and timing.
Why the Stupid Name?
Graye isn't really the correct spelling of my surname.
I have added a letter, I bet you can't guess which.
The story of this name is in my profile.
I'm Here for Fun, Seriously
I take a lot of things seriously, but I also love to have fun as well.
The problem is, when I try to be serious, people say, "Funny you should say that."
And when I try to be funny, they say, "You can't be serious!"
Lick My Avatar, Baby!
One thing I will say is: I love intellectual enthusiasm, I love intelligent exhilaration, and when I spot it, I will tell you fair and square.
You're just lucky that you won't realise that I have also licked your avatar on my screen, like our 18 month old puppy.
Good Things
I love good sentences, and inspired by Paul Bryant, I am commenting on ones I like on my writings pages.
I've just started a good phrase chapter as well.
I've called it "Just a Phrase I'm Going Through" (if that doesn't sound too much like the name of a JJasper FForde Novel).
Gratuitous Apology
I could go on and on, but I'd prefer to do it in separate posts across the universe of this fantastic site.
Have you noticed that if you apologise for the length of your post at the very end of it, nobody ever gets far enough to read it?
So, confident that no-one will be reading the last sentence, I'm going to say, I have a much longer post on my hands than I ever expected to have.
Well that didn't take you long Ian. I'm afraid most of TC is asleep now. Remind me to tell you a funny story about your name. It can only to be told once I get to know you a little better.
I think you will fit in nicely and give me some company among these heathens who don't know how to spell properly.

I'm still awake for the next five minutes.Hi, Ian.
Gail «Cyborg» wrote: "Remind me to tell you a funny story about your name. It can only to be told once I get to know you a little better."That is so unfair.
Did I tell you that, if I ever had a son, I was going to call him Marvin Gray?
Get the feeling you know me a little better now?
By the time you get to know me a little better, I guarantee I'll be a little worse.
So why wait?
Wake up everybody.
One thing I hate about GR is the fact that I hunch over my computer waiting for replies when everybody else is asleep.
It's very bad for my posture.
In fact, I'll go as far as to say it gives me imposture.
Then again, perhaps the time lag is a blessing in the skies.
At least, when I wake up the next morning, both replies are there waiting for me.

Hi, iBritt.
I don't want to excite you just before you go to bed.
Have a nice glass of milk and we'll talk tomorrow.
Ah well, you have to survive the initiation process. It can be brutal. Then I might tell you my story.

With an "ie" on the end?
He's already on a roll.
Stacia *those aren't my eyes* wrote: "He's already on a roll."Speaking of eyes that aren't yours, Stacia, I've started my good phrases page with a profound expression of concern (or is it an expression of profound concern?) about the singular Beady Eye.
If only there was a group that was into linguistic pedantry, I'd be right up it.
