Woo look at me I'm organizing

Not all of us do that database thang ok, I'm clearly not good at this :D

Yes I'm completely pedantic about organizing my data. Still the monkey gif I thought was pretty funny.

I see you more along the lines of those old dudes on the muppets haha! But the monkey was cute :)

I loved the muppet old guys as a kid. Don't know that I'd find them funny now so point taken.

Didn't mean it like that though, I like the back and forth you know that!

As long as you don't post a monkey/chimp in human clothes.. because that for some reason grosses me out lol!

Anyways, I always tell people I have no "real job" skills, but I guess you don't know that; I tend to have a self-depreciating humor but that doesn't come across well in text form I suppose

I wasn't offended. I was merely commenting that I can see how you don't find things like that funny.

I think I just threw up in my mouth

There's a lot of worse GIF's I could post on this topic.

We've had so many misunderstandings this morning we could be married lol!

I need to covertly discover what gets under your skin now.

Do you want to know the secret to marriage. Women will do everything for you provide you let them make all the decisions.

Margret wrote: "I need to covertly discover what gets under your skin now."

My 14 year old has it down.

You really do have this marriage thing down!

Margret wrote: "You really do have this marriage thing down!"

Shhhh.........the decision maker might hear you. :)

Lol, sounds about right.

My husband can get away with a lot provided I get to watch him use his chainsaw with his sexy chainsaw helmet and flannel shirt

Sorry, what were we talking about? Lol

Margret's fifty shades of flannel.

Hi Margret. I read three jousting stories back to back. Also I've been thinking of you since yesterday.
Here are my two of my fave Leightons. Prolly not your style either but, like I said, I'm totally in the Ivanhoe zone. I wish their hair were darker so she'll be more like you...altho'...I remember reading somewhere that you are actually light?
(view spoiler)[




Obviously Leighton had one very particular lady in mind as a muse while painting.

Lots of love to C&J + the other Zara + Mom + hello to everyone else who everybody prolly don't know I exist...so...*facepalm* I dunno why I typed this. Sorry. I'm not creepy or anything.
Hope you're doing good.

Hey! Thanks for checking in! I’ve been having some mental health issues and am on the mend now! I’ve felt good for a couple of days now but still trying to get all things back on track

Glad you're better Margret. I'm not gonna post anything nosy/sappy or fluffy. Just...know that we all love and respect you. Without reservations, holdbacks, terms or conditions. And this is ALL of us. I am the least of the ppl here in your corner.

(view spoiler)[
Ppl will oftentimes, pat you on the head...tell you to be strong and to take courage or *snort* "find serenity"...here's the thing....you don't need to be, Marge. Sometimes we can get so tired of being the #strongone, no?
Sometimes all you want is to be is silly and foolish and pampered and floopy...put the load down, forget there are things to be done. And let someone else be strong and sane and together.
Here's the thing....think about it...for ppl like you it can be hard...to just...let them?
Also, you're Arya Stark.
I'm jezzt sayin..... (hide spoiler)]

You're doing something right Margret. You get Arya and I get Sauron, jeeeez. :)

I've been biding my time trying to think of a Zaara's character and I think I have it.



You definitely keep it interesting Z-Money.

That is so sweet, thank you. It has been quite a battle indeed. If you’ve been there you’ll know that it’s not just the new traumas but all the childhood and adolescent traumas that gang up on you when things like these happen. The brain doesn’t know the difference between real danger and perceived. I’m still waiting for the meds that take a while to cumulate, but the bad days are getting fewer and further between

Nice try! But this and today...its not about me. Glad you're doing better and it's good to see you around the threads once more.

Here is a GIF of Viggo Mortensen in a plais shirt. I think he is saying Mmmmm 😂 or possibly Hmmmm?


But of course nothing beats the ravishimgly dishevelled...


And there's no need to say thanx n stuff Marge. I'm not here for the thanx. I'm jezzt...here ok? I'm saying this because soemtimse when you're in hermit mode it can be an effort even to find words, no? Being social is diffivult like swimming thru glue? So don't feel forced to be polite...not that I don't like talking to you or anything. Tomorrow I will stop by and bore you the story of where I was these 3 days. Thrilling stuff even if I do say so meself. It even has the Elder God K'rul in it. I'm exhausted really...sleemy but I logged in just for you. Forgive me if my humour is a little off colour...tried to find a nice GIF.

Viggo always makes me feel better

You're welcome, you!
Yaaaaaay, the Evenstar is baaaaaack.
And how!
I am most seriously impressed.
Others toil and labour in the sludges of verbiage but Marge...

The Lady of Gondor sez it with such colossal swaaaaaaaag.

Oh and watch where you stick that "Needle", Arya.
😂😂😂
I'm told it has quite the sting.
*evil sniggers*

Also I am sorry I took so long to get back to you. I know you'd (might've) been waiting. I replied here + on my tracker + also on Random Chat (so that's 3 messages for ya) but I have read and typed so much today that I am totally wiped and can't give your PM the attention it deserves right now. My eyes are blurring...gimme a few ok.

ALSO IF YOU WANT TO HEAR THE STORY OF MY ULTRA-BORING LIFE
(view spoiler)[
I prepped a huge batch of food....pasta (I dunno that I can rightly call it primavera) but pasta with ALL the chunky veg + couple batches of soup (one hearty and one not so) + made a store run + fruit market + I also did two lots of laundry and changed my sheets. Wow, envy the giddy whirl of stupemdous excitement that is my life.

Now I have food for three days and the salad I will fix fresh.
Bcuz I know once I get into the "thickest middle" of a S.Archives book I will nevarr emerge.

Also, I know you like to cook and garden, Marge. That's therapeutic...nothing like the smell of freshly baked coffee cake. I have no advice about plants except if you want to kill them.
😈
I leave mine alone and they seem to grow in vast profusions. Some even take root in CONCRETE and WALLS of the room I work in...wtf. I have no idea. They literally grow out of the building but only as long as I pretend to ignore them.
There are two in residence currently and since I am reading WoR, I call them Kal and Dal.
Next month, I shall rechristen...Hadrian and Royce...😂 (hide spoiler)]

thats like a good day for me, but add in approximately 3 temper tantrums about who gets to put the lid on the milk, and several sibling brawls LOL

And then I remembered you once said you *yerk* at 'actual human contact' haha!
😂😂😂
Believe me, I freaked myself out worse...sorry Margret...such an idiot! It's all gone now + apos for that. Now I'd have headed for the hills and never stopped running xept

Luckily, all my current BR threads were kinda quiet/already fizzled/everyone dropped out/finished before me...so it was a good time to take a quiet break.

Hello hon...happy Halloween. All of us kids are changing our profile pics to seasonal-themed ones to celebrate the season but MAINLY the end of the Team Reading Tourney. Now I admit yous already there with your Sauron pic...😂😂😂 but how long are you gonna keep it?
Also somehow it happened that they are doing the pics in pairs...soooo....wanna be my costume twin?
I don't have one....😂😂😂 toyed with the idea of us being Bellatrix Lestrange together because I saw somewhere recently that you wanted to cosplay her...you're right...Bellatrix is a very convenient cosplay. The only real work is in finding lots of black lace and a wand + in perfecting the evil laugh.
But truth told, when it actually came down to it, Marge, I didn't have the heart and I backed off from this idea...but the potential of it is killing me, so I hope you will take it!
We can be the ALMOST costume twins. I want a Bella somewhere on the threads...😂😂😂
Will you do it?
For myself, I just got The Devil. My best friend used to call me that...commemorate...Halloween is also the time to remember those who passed, no? That's what the ghosts and ghoulies are actually about??

Come on...how long will you burn as the fiery eye of Mordor?
I wish everyone joins Virginie's game, especially the Top 10 winners. Should be fun...everyone jointly happy and celebratory together. As you can see, I'm totally in love with the idea and think it will build a real feeling of family ...nothing like being naffoo together in weird getups...no? But I don't wanna be too pushy with it...jump down your throat or anything...so I thought...when in doubt, check with Marge.

Also, congrats on your team's performance in the tourney and best of luck with next year's draft. Try and get Ron...she's wonderful...y'know how I love Ron, right? With my last (cringey) post that I deleted.
You guys will have each other's backs...not that there's any need for it...but...it makes me happy to think of my two favourite genuinely lovely no nonsense warmhearted brunettes together.
When it comes to you both, I am very sincere...but in stupendously #awkward and overeager ways...
Ahhhhh...I have these unfortunate embarrassing Colin Creevey tendemcies with a few of y'all...pls don't cringe!
*shakes head*
Right...ohkaaay 😂😂😂 sooooo say you'll do Bellatrix Lestrange then...
I used my best persuasive talents....

You deleted your last message before I could see it ma’am!

Unfortunately it has been mentioned in the past by members of the group that people have a hard time when mods change their profile pictures so I made the decision to stick with Sauron for ease of the members. I hope this doesn’t make you feel discouraged at all!

I hope you’re doing well, taking good care of yourself and being assertive with the potpourri and stationary lady 😂

O too bad, Margret...I think you'd have rocked the black lace and bedhead look in your avatar.

Always disliked how
BELLATRIX LESTRAMGE MOVIE SPOILERS
(view spoiler)[
...Bonham Carter played her so "twitchy" in the movies. Bellatrix...who was supposed to occupy even a prison chair "like a throne"...and don't even get me started about the weirdness of the death visual effects in the movies. I'd have liked the mundane finality of Tom Riddle's body hitting the earth like just another chunk of dead meat but boooo! in the movies the Dark Lord and Bellatrix poetically disitintegrate into creepy black shardsmoke...too weird and Hollywood-y in my opinion. I suppose they did this so the kids wouldn't be traumatised?
Bella's unhinged laugh tho'...wow! (hide spoiler)]

Uhhh but putting a lid on my slight Harry Potter obsession 😂 and returning to your post....

So that's why none of you guys ever change them out. Still...YOU got off claarssy with a Van Gogh avatar...hmmmm....altho'...I expect that dolphin is gonna asphyxiate soon + it looks terrified...PETA may have something to say abt all this...haha...😂😂😂
*KICK* + runs away very fast

Oh and in response to your question, yes Marge, thanks.
+ hug

Most of us get confused when ANYONE changes avatars, really... the worst is when they change names as well, between real names and random names... I have a couple people on my small friends list that I think must of done that, because I have no idea who they are...
