Count me in, Sin!!!!

And maybe if you ask Chris very very very nicely he might be able to run an 'Uncle Chris' techno problem' page, as he did do a degree in computers and stuff like that...

URL = Uniform Resource Locator

The link that identifies a page. Eg. The URL for this site is http://www.mlukfc.com

DIZZY DRUMMER · 25 Jan 2004, 23:38

Thanks chris

understand that - but still not accepting site - can I paste it to something else first ?

DIZZY DRUMMER · 27 Jan 2004, 08:08

Sin,

Me again

You'll probably know this one - I just want it clarifying.

I have sent a couple of PM, which are sitting in the "outbox" not the "sentbox" - does this mean the individual has not opened it yet, and it will be transfered over to the "sentbox" when they do?

Chris · 27 Jan 2004, 12:57

Correct

DIZZY DRUMMER · 27 Jan 2004, 14:03

Thanks Chris

I see Uncle Chris has answered your Techno problem. Why didn't we get his page set up months ago?

CarolM · 27 Jan 2004, 22:44

Hi Sin,

just got to think of more ideas,

Saturday was brilliant but now im missing everyone like crazy,

you are all great guys,

also cant wait to meet the rest of you guys,

heres hoping soon,

never say never.

DIZZY DRUMMER · 28 Jan 2004, 00:00

Everyone - can't we get a conference set up - there must be enough of us wanting to do this

**The Flying Mouse** · 28 Jan 2004, 00:12

All discussion for a Meat Loaf convention is in the Events forum.
Please continue there.
Incidently, i've got a great venue in mind that has it's own theatre

FM you took the words........................

Aunty sin thinks it's a great idea but a lot of discussion has already gone on in the events forum. However if we are any nearer to it actually coming off then maybe a new thread within that forum would be a good idea

Aunty Sin will still be on hand to help with the trials and tribulations that any planing and organisation may bring

examples -
Transportation problems - Can't you start walking now?

Oh I don't know what to wear

individual answers available

etc etc etc

Chris · 28 Jan 2004, 21:05

Auntie Sin, I need some help!!!

In General Messages there is a Spanish Topic.

How do i resisit the temptation to post a reply there saying "Que?? I am so sorry, he is from barcelona" before hitting myself with a frying pan!!!!

What can i do!!!!

Well Chris

This is interesting news. I must check it out.

As to your dilema, I think it's going to be extremely difficult for you to resist tempation.

So you need a staged plan of action.

Firstly I would suggest that you hide all frying pans and cooking pots

If you find that you are suddenly taking exagerated long strides and generally walking funny, you'll need to sit down in a quiet and darkened room immediately

If you start calling your female aquaintances Sybil, seek medical attention straight away

What ever you do, Don't mention the war

Of course you could always take up a crash course in the language so realise just what a beautiful language it is and will no longer have the urge to jest.

Or then again you could say "to heck with the consequeces" make the post and take it as it comes

I would say take it like a man but we have enough discussion around copyright at the moment without getting into The Trades Description Act

Bren · 02 Feb 2004, 02:21

Dear Aunty Sin,

The Bat she is much saddened,by the way things are on the forum at present

Just about every topic i've been on today has been like walking in to a battle ground.......i don't like it at all.
The Happy community spirit on the forum,seems to be fading fast,its getting so that you feel you must tiptoe around and not post your opinion.....that can't be right,can it.?
i come here to relax and be among friends, discuss things.....not to walk into a battle ground all the time.
...so no place for me here while things are as they are,

i hope that things will improve, .....i really do

Bye for now..
Love
Bren

CarolM · 02 Feb 2004, 03:41

Ditto Bren,

i feel exactly the same way hun,

but unlike you ive given up,

not gonna be round much now so you can add yourself to my msn ok

ill speak to you there,

it used to be a happy, jolly site logging in here was great,

now you can feel the tension as soon as you log in,

till or if it gets better i wont be visiting much,

ill miss you all terribly,

i just cant do it anymore,

its getting me down and causing many a sleepless night.

Take Care Bren,

cu soon on msn i hope.

Best Wishes Carol. xxxxxxxxxxx

native texan · 02 Feb 2004, 04:07

It makes me sad to read that both of you will be gone or around less. I can understand, however. I have been reading posts over the past couple of days that have made me consider leaving too. However, I'm new here, and wouldn't be missed as much as you two. I have been reading the forum for a while, long before I registered as a user, and can say that it has definitely changed. I used to be impressed with how well you all came to each other's aid. Now, it seems that the gloves are off and everyone is fair game. I don't understand what has happened. Everyone has an opinion, and should be respected. There were times in the past couple of days that I have wanted to post something, but haven't, for fear that I would open myself up to attacks and ridicule. That's something I don't need. I hope things improve soon so that you will both want to come back, and so that no one else feels they need to leave in order to protect themselves emotionally. There is enough stress and discord in the world- I always thought this was a refuge.

I too have noticed this surplus of tension. . .However, I'm not going to compromise my integrity for the sake of other less well inclined members.
As for Bren and Carol, don't stay away too long, I'll always be here ~~~~ing things up if you ever want to come back.

original sin · 03 Feb 2004, 00:36

"Dear Bren, Carol, Native Texan, terri & Rob

I’m truly sorry you feel this way. Hopefully R’s actions today will resolve issues, and if posts are made, irrespective of what view they are, within the global forum rules, this should be the case.

Even though you are feeling the way you do, it's good to see you have still come here to say how you feel and have had the wonderful group therapy we have always referred to

Stick with it - The sun always comes out from behind the clouds

RSG · 04 Feb 2004, 09:09

I hope I can post this here, it is quite off topic, and kind of emotianal for me to say.

Well I was talking to my friend (anomynous) tonight. And well he was fearing that he will breaking up with his unloving girlfriend who is also my friend. My friend who called me, was totally commited to his relationship, but she wasn't. Well he was telling me how he was going to plan his weekend, with suicide.

I (not a very bright person) didn't know what to say. So I really was thinking how to convince him not too. And I told him, straight up how he will be missed by many. He didn't believe me. See the story he is, his dad is a BIG jerk, even more so than my dad. And well his mom sees him maybe twice a month if he's lucky. He lives on his own. And this kid has to work and goto school, so its pretty tough.

I don't feel, I really got through to him. I don't want him alone this weekend, do you think I should invite him to my house. Please any idea, it would MEAN a lot. Because, I've only known him since September, and I already think he is my BEST friend. I need help talking to him, I was hoping if someone could suggest something for me. He's staying over today (Wednesday) do to something that is happening in town.

Sorry if I can't post this here, but I feel he needs some advice, I just don't know how to give

original sin · 04 Feb 2004, 14:59

RSG
What a difficult position you are in. It shows what a caring kind soul you are to want to help your friend in his time of need.
Firstly I feel that IF you seriously believe your friend may take his own life, this is maybe not something you can handle by yourself. You cannot take on everything and need support yourself, it’s a hell of a lot of emotional baggage to be carrying around.
Do you have a friend or relative you can share your worries with?
I think that by having your friend over to stay, you may well be able to show him that he is a valued friend and help him see that there can be fun and joy to be had in life.
But, sometimes people for some reason cannot accept help, and you need to be very careful that you don’t get in a position where you are taking on too much responsibility or guilt.

Are there any help line phone numbers over there where you can talk to someone for advice? In the UK we have the Samaritans and Childline a phone line where people can phone and talk when they feel like this.
Can you try to get your friend to speak to a counsellor or doctor?
This might sound daft too but can you get him on line and show him us here?
Your friend needs support and so do you!
And don’t worry about what you say, it’s being there that counts you can show how you feel by just being there sitting in silence.

You know where we are use us!

heat · 04 Feb 2004, 15:33

RSG - i've sent you a PM, but please know that you're not on your own with this at all - we are all here for you.

CarolM · 05 Feb 2004, 02:51

RSG, im with the others on this, you are definatley not on your own, were here ,whenever you need someone to talk to dont forget.

RSG · 05 Feb 2004, 12:42

thanks bunches guys. really i means it. i think he had fun last night, i haven't heard him laugh so hard, when we were playing cards, listening to meat loaf & his japanese music (which sounds pretty cool). he's my only friend in my town who i can actually be myself around. i can listen to meat, and he don't get mad and tell me to shut it off. (like someone who i used to think was a best friend) i did mention your offers of talking to him about, but he wasn't sure. but i did tell him i was there for him, and you's are there for me, so really, thank you ever so much. :) it means a lot, that i can have someone to turn too. and i am glad i can do that for someone else as well. we played many card games, played dominoes, singing to meat loaf, and him learning the words, was pretty funny

. then we would play his linkin park, and some japanese game songs, and it was even more funnier , trying to get me to sing things in a complete different language,

. thanks again guys, really.

( if i can share, i have tears of happiness

) never really felt more important to someone.

PS, he really likes rock and roll dreams come through
