How long will it take us to get to 10,000 posts?

My Aliens have a strange way of navigating through space, I tried introducing them to Maps but they wouldn't listen to me :fist:

And what a mistake that is! These are not the brightest aliens not listening to The Enforcer.

Perfect! Lets hope they leave me here and don't whisk me away again anytime soon.

They’ll have to get through me first. There are other people on this site I’ll gladly let them have instead.

I hope you really are doing okay.

I am. Maybe I’m putting up a little bit of a front right now but I’ll be okay. I went to two birthday parties today even though I really wasn’t up for it but I’m glad I went now. Kids have a way of making things seem better (and sometimes worse, depending on the kid)

Are you still as mad busy at work?

It seemed to slow down a little bit but it’s still very busy. But now it’s going to take off soon. They’re forecasting a slower than usual Christmas for us but I’ll believe it when I see it.

its chaos over here as the shortage of drivers is beginning to take its toll on some services.

I’ve been reading about this actually. And it’s mind boggling to me cause we have way too many drivers. Every time I turn around we’re hiring more. Are your shelves in the stores still empty? I couldn’t believe some of the pictures I’ve seen recently. It’s very scary!

Ah, you're a good understanding friend :hb:

No argument there!

 

[DallasFanForever]

"older"? speak for yourself

Uh oh!!
Well, I was due to put my foot in my mouth. It’s been awhile.

Its funny when I look back to being a child, the summer and playing outside seemed to last for months

It sure did! Oh how I wish I could go back there sometimes. I would do so many things differently this time around. I think we take those days for granted.

Christmas used to take years to come around again, nowadays it feels like its Christmas time again every 6 months

I feel like we were just chatting about Christmas, weren’t we? Where does the time go?

 

[DallasFanForever]

Oh I know, once we get going we are such chatterboxes on here ..Lol!

DFF is the furthest thing from a chatterbox you’d ever meet but two people who will remain nameless and are very prominent on this thread have definitely ruined that.

(But I’m glad they did)

To quote DFF's comments posted earlier "it's the people that keep me coming back " might not be verbatim but the sentiment is

What a smart thing for me to say! But why don’t I remember saying it? Regardless, I do agree with it. I love this site but it is the people on it that really matter. Without them, it’s nothing.

No not at all DFF. We could make you N2H if you like ... just don't let on to Michelle that she's now been demoted to N3H

Lashes, when Michelle reads that you’re gonna be wishing for Alien abduction once again!!

 

[Michelle Stevens]

The Nazca desert geoglyphs, encoded by powerful Shaman with soothsaying ability, speaks of the Biggie Smalls wearing the crown. Bletchley Park will soon decipher the message.

Any message that challenges Michelle's rightful hotness supremacy will be greeted by my ever loyal agents.

We shall see how powerful this Shaman is.

 

[Michelle Stevens]

It was definitely quiet around here. Every time I logged in I’d go over to the games section to see if anyone was playing and nothing. I’d check my alerts and nothing. It got so bad I was contemplating asking myself questions then answering them. It got so bad I was thinking about going to the Guess Who Will Post Next thread and say I’m next just so I had something to look forward to. It got so depressing I went and sit in the TT cafe but didn’t order any food cause there was no one to make it. Okay, I’m being dramatic.

LOL, my minions would have alerted me, surely, if you were waiting in the TT Cafe.

Same here. The show is mostly what I know. I think I remember the title of every episode so I definitely may have issues.

I haven't seen most episodes since it's original airing but I do find some memorable hulk-outs on Youtube from time to time. It was funny seeing the situations Banner was put into.

Of course! Out of the three celebrities I’ve met, I’d say two were kind of disappointing for me. They were nice, don’t get me wrong, but I think when I was younger I’d expect them to be these larger than life personas and they really weren’t. But one of them far and away not only met my expectations but even exceeded them.

Interesting! May I ask who exceeded your expectations?

Its such an unexpected treat to see them in autumn when the nest looks so colourful

It is quite lovely! :love:

No I didn't know this, how fab!

I do love owls!

Oh how cute is he?

Certainly a curious owl is investigating the nest.

The Owl does look funny making itself at home in a ready made nest ... aw he looks so comfy there, what a shame Liberty and Freedom can't let him stay for a few weeks.

Maybe we'll have an Owl Cam in 2022? The owl wants this finely crafted nest.

Our Eagles are here too on that day.

.. they both look very annoyed here and now we know why

Indeed, they have been invaded!

I did see this from the managers of the cams about upgrades.

Hi Hanover Chatters! We're excited for the new nest views this season! There are two PTZ cameras to show a close up and wider view of the nest and surrounding trees. There is a 4k wide view cam to show the nest in it's entirely, angled slightly above the nest so no more sticks will impact the view! Bare with us as we work on fine-tuning all the new changes, but we're so excited to share in nature's beautiful yet unpredictable unfolding this year!

 

[Michelle Stevens]

Trust me to get involved with a lower intellect group of Aliens

Oh pfft!

:floor:

Am I looking evilly hot? I might be changing it again soon, can't decide what to have.

I do like the new evilly hot Spooky Lashes. Your best yet, even a name change for the event.

Prepare to be jealous my friend :danc:

I'm waiting on bated breath.

but I like the Aliens new ideas, this new fashion of theirs will set a new trend throughout the world, soon everyone will shave of their hair and have an alien tattoo on the back of their heads ... trust me

If you say so dear friend. Will Enrique be one of the first to follow this trend?

6?

..... is this a new record? oh wow, I'm so pleased for you and how amazing you got four free ones who needed a loving home, how did you manage to carry them all home?

I ordered Flyleaf from the same person on Ebay who I bought Tippie from last year. She was a longtime unsold orchid, a rescue from somewhere. A double unwanted orchid so I felt I had to saver her as she had withered leaves and no blooms to show. She has shown me she wants to live.

On a 27 September visit to the grocery store I planned to buy a new orchid with blooms as my other were not blooming. I told the flower lady I intended to purchase a full price plant as I don't want her to be thinking I only use my powers of hotness to win the freedom of past bloomed orchids. To my surprise she gave me four in decline blooming orchids. Two of which are still blooming today, besides the full priced orchid I bought, Pumpkin. It did take me day to make all five. The powers of hotness on display. Any more I'll be making a trip to the hardware store for another shelf for a new plant tower.

I am sorry, I was going to ask you about PV she did put up a good fight, if anyone could've saved her it would've been you.

She had been in a rough way for over a year and been on a decline since after that July trip to the nursery. At least she made the trip to that amazing place. It seems after I got my latest batch of orchids she knew I had a plant family and her job was finished. I will always remember my orchid #2 as she rebloomed in the depths of the Covid lock-down over here. I'll miss my Pinkie Violet. Poor Snowy is is without her longtime mate but has thirty others to live with.

Beautiful names! :bravo: .... Pumpkin is especially relevant right now. Sometimes people over here use the word pumpkin as a term of endearment.

Same here too, at least two girls/females. My Pumpkin had orange blooms so I thought it was fit with the season. I'll post images soon.

She is just fine, thank you. She's lost a couple of blooms, but otherwise looks happy. I need to take her photo again, oh and I have a new friend in the garden or it could be an old friend returning, every time I go out in the back garden the cutest little Robin appears and I of course can't resist feeding him, he's gorgeous.

A new Robin, wow! I wonder if they nest nearby in the Spring. Are your crops ending now?

I would like to see Pearl again. Good to here she is doing well. Has she met Orkie? How is Tiny Tim?

 

[Michelle Stevens]

Oh that fits too

So Michelle can be either 'Number Two Hottest' or 'Not Too Hot' .... I like them both

'Lashes!

No not at all DFF. We could make you N2H if you like ... just don't let on to Michelle that she's now been demoted to N3H

You may be Spooky and have upgraded alien gifted powers but don't think that will over-ride my supreme hotness in any way. How well is your Spooky Lashes persona ready for the pillows?

I love the hulk-outs! I know they get repetitive after awhile and so are a lot of the episodes, let’s face it, but I still love it. I think the show might’ve been better if they had written the episodes first and then inserted the Hulk outs instead of writing the Hulk outs first and then writing the story around them but what do I know. That was how they did it and I can understand it I guess. The Hulk outs was what everyone wanted to see the most so I get it. Ur right though, we need a Hulk thread. DFF will see what he can do.

Interesting! May I ask who exceeded your expectations?

Of course you may ask my friend! It was Vince McMahon. I just walked into the lobby to deliver a package and he walked up to me and asked if I had anything for him. I told him I didn’t and we started talking. I told him I was a huge fan and we had about a 5 minute conversation about wrestling. Very nice man and nothing like that tv persona. Definitely my best celebrity encounter so far.

The Hulk, pro wrestling, aliens, William Shatner, plants, robins, owls and eagles, the UK’s economy, we cover it all on this thread, don’t we?

We’re 26 posts away now so we definitely caught up, which is good cause I want to go trick or treating on Halloween and not be worrying about if we’re gonna make our goal or not.

I remember watching a documentary on this show and they said they had two hulk-outs per episode. I had forgotten that.

Okay, I certainly remember you mentioning Vince McMahon but didn't know how positive your interaction was. Very cool!

Indeed we talk about everything here.

Yes, it was two per episode until the final season when they went to one per episode due to budget constraints. Of course the final season is only seven episodes long so the writing was on the wall I guess.

Okay, I certainly remember you mentioning Vince McMahon but didn't know how positive your interaction was. Very cool!

Thank you! It was quite a shock to meet him. Other drivers had met him in the same building but I figured I probably never would cause it wasn’t a route I did very often. So it was quite surprising!

We’re only 25 posts away!! And we have 12 more days so we’re fine.

According to the weather report currently playing out on TV, winter will arrive in the UK on Thursday with the cold air heading down from the arctic circle.
Grumbling about the weather now means that the next milestone is one post closer.

I wish that winter would arrive here in South Florida. It’s still 85 degrees every day! Usually the first week in November it starts to cool down a little but I’m not holding my breath.

 

[Long Lashes]

@Long Lashes thank you for your kind words. Stumbling across this platform and, believe it or not, doing the mental gymnastics of deciding whether to join or not. I'm very happy with my decision.

I think many of us went through that same dithering @Biggie, I still remember how nervous I was when I posted my very first comment, I was actually shaking, but I'm so glad I did it.

To quote DFF's comments posted earlier "it's the people that keep me coming back " might not be verbatim but the sentiment is.

Thats a great quote and very true for me too.

As in the real world I hope I contribute positively even if passively.

You do! its always good to have you on here with us

 

[Long Lashes]

I am. Maybe I’m putting up a little bit of a front right now but I’ll be okay. I went to two birthday parties today even though I really wasn’t up for it but I’m glad I went now. Kids have a way of making things seem better

Children are great to be around, they're a good distraction as they make it impossible for us to sit back and zone out

(and sometimes worse, depending on the kid)

:laughing:

It seemed to slow down a little bit but it’s still very busy. But now it’s going to take off soon. They’re forecasting a slower than usual Christmas for us but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Over here the forecast is for a chaotic Christmas and we are being encouraged to order early, although I refuse to panic buy.

Are your shelves in the stores still empty?

Not really, some stores don't have random things, for instant I've not been able to buy radish from TESCO which doesn't matter, but they normally would never run out of things like this. Oh and square crisps (potato chips) I love, love square crisps and can't get hold of them anywhere ! :bang:

I couldn’t believe some of the pictures I’ve seen recently. It’s very scary!

I think the media crank up the situation for more drama. I was reading that we might be short of turkeys this Christmas, so many people have bought them already, but I just think we won't starve and if we can't have turkey we will have best steak or something else.

I feel like we were just chatting about Christmas, weren’t we? Where does the time go?

I know what you mean. Currently our shops have both Halloween and Christmas stalls next to each other. I have to admit I dare not buy the Christmas chocolate currently on offer, because I know it would drive me crazy knowing that we have chocolates in the cupboard .... I have no will-power

I do love owls!

Aww, just look at that cheeky face, I love Owls too.

Maybe we'll have an Owl Cam in 2022? The owl wants this finely crafted nest.

I would be more than happy to watch Owls

Our Eagles are here too on that day.

I do have a special place in my heart for Liberty and Freedom , I'm so pleased that Liberty hasn't gone off with someone else

I did see this from the managers of the cams about upgrades.

Thank you my friend and I see that you have copied my very hot witches hat

If you say so dear friend. Will Enrique be one of the first to follow this trend?

Enrique will do anything I tell him :danc: .. although, I will keep him away from this new fashion trend, his head is too beautiful to mess with.

I ordered Flyleaf from the same person on Ebay who I bought Tippie from last year. She was a longtime unsold orchid, a rescue from somewhere. A double unwanted orchid so I felt I had to saver her as she had withered leaves and no blooms to show. She has shown me she wants to live.

Flyleaf - I do like this name , she's lucky you spotted her on Ebay in the nick of time.

On a 27 September visit to the grocery store I planned to buy a new orchid with blooms as my other were not blooming. I told the flower lady I intended to purchase a full price plant as I don't want her to be thinking I only use my powers of hotness to win the freedom of past bloomed orchids.

Umm, which "powers of hotness" are these of which you speak?

To my surprise she gave me four in decline blooming orchids. Two of which are still blooming today, besides the full priced orchid I bought, Pumpkin. It did take me day to make all five.

Heck, that store lady is very kind, but 4? c an you cope with 4 .... daft question from me, of course you can

. Any more I'll be making a trip to the hardware store for another shelf for a new plant tower.

Is the tower now completely full? I would imagine it looks wonderful having so many plants on it.

She had been in a rough way for over a year and been on a decline since after that July trip to the nursery. At least she made the trip to that amazing place. It seems after I got my latest batch of orchids she knew I had a plant family and her job was finished. I will always remember my orchid #2 as she rebloomed in the depths of the Covid lock-down over here. I'll miss my Pinkie Violet. Poor Snowy is is without her longtime mate but has thirty others to live with.

You have so many memories of those special early Orchids

My Pumpkin had orange blooms so I thought it was fit with the season.

I do like the orange coloured blooms and yes, her name is perfect.

 

[Long Lashes]

You may be Spooky and have upgraded alien gifted powers but don't think that will over-ride my supreme hotness in any way. How well is your Spooky Lashes persona ready for the pillows?

My Spookyness is ready and waiting for the hotness battle N3H ....

Lol!

I love how you keep us on track. When I see numbers my eyes go all wonky
