Widowhood.

You may not have been in a state to remember the Halloween party, biker!

mcem thankyou and yes you put it better than me ! but yes that was the point I was trying to make and didn't want/hope that it was detracting from the original post which was Falcons

annsixty yes you are so right, in fact I spent most of the afternoon yesterday in my "other mode" with my mind so heavy on this time last when everything was sort of ticking along not too bad, and then "wham"! we didn't know what was coming, well we did, but! you know!

loopylou it was me that nearly had a fit! I misread the post about the "armchair" I thought well!!! I don't remember sitting in an armchair rubbing my knees together then re read the post and realised you meant your! armchair lol

anno ohh yes the Halloween party lol I have a photo on my profile of me at Pendle Hill! hope your coming along to the party anno would love you to meet "Randolph or was it Rudolph must re trace my post and a have a look

Wondering where Falcon is !

Never mind the Christmas party. The original party was the Halloween one on Pendle Hill which was where biker's inflatable friends made their debut appearance.

I'm still trying to get the red wine stains out of the armchair after bikergran's post last evening about her knees and matches

DH thought I'd had a choking fit because he'd said something about the Election

Wonderfully crazy ladies on this thread!

bikergran it is so good to see you getting some way to being your old jokey self again. I am sure you do all your grieving just the same and will for a long time but you are doing yourself (and others) some good by joining in with such good fun topics

Yes biker, I've been around since day one but had along spell away due to family stuff.
When I got back to GN I was unable go use my name for some reason so reregistered and em became mcem.
I take your point about new posters joining the thread at this stage and finding it's not what they expect. However I think you've introduced a note of nonsense and shown some sad ladies that it is ok to relax, to smile and to enjoy the company of others in a similar situation. Well done!

mcem hello, not sure if you are an old (cough) original poster but nice to see you...

Oh yes I am sure there's going to be a ball (amongst other things)
I shall have a mooch at the "Christmas Party Thread" and relive the moments

I must now put my "party head away as I am getting too excited and wait for Galan to send out the invites..open to all I'm sure ..whooohooo......(whoops sorry party head emerged again) tut!

I suppose we should let the thread ease back to it's original theme, as goodness knows what any "new widows" may think if they were to drop in! they will wonder what on earths going on but hope anyone would be able to have a little smile whilst reading the thread.

Until then I shall keep my ears and eyes open for the "announcement" Iv got my party frock ready and now going to do my homework on the theme .... whilst sipping my

Ladies - although I haven't contributed to this thread, I've read it with growing admiration.
I do think you'd have a ball at biker's party and wonder if you'd like to have a flavour of the virtual parties of the 'old days of GN'?
Go to CHAT and find the Christmas Party thread.

I've just reread it and it reminded me of so many of the original names. I'm sure you'll recognise lots of them!

Absolute nonsense but no sniping or serious arguments! Enjoy!

and yes I believe Galen is spot on with bow and arrow

well goodnight all, off to my freshly made bed....

ohh yes lol lo ohh that's a good one nannieroz yes Falcon where is she hiding, we can fill her in as soon as. nannieroz that is good, I once went to a "Virtual Themes Party" couple of at my desktop, when I woke up next morning I almost felt like I had actualy been! to a party lol, it's a bit like a good book, you can become embroiled in it

Plenty of rubber bands out on the pavement discarded by the ruddy postman, yep! reckon I could fashion something

I got so immersed in the alcohol vimto and inflatable friends, I completely forgot it was a themed party.

I know where we can find at least one Falcon(bird)!!!!!

I can provide an archery bow & arrows (dd won't notice I've 'borrowed' them) but not got foggiest how to use, perhaps Galen can advise

nannieroz you too! will have a " role " not sure what but we will find something suitable ...........looking in book under "roles" for newbies you too loopy are you good with elastic bands and sticky backed plastic ?

loopy you mean the "Bar" is open!! no one told me.....

................................................................>>>>>>>>>>walks off to the bar............................................>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
,,,,,,,,<<<<<<<<< walks back from the bar.. could only carry two

ahhh yes Wolfhounds...rats, think I have rubber ones in the loft, Falcons may be slightly more hard to come by..

Yeah you're right loopylou...... biker is wicked. I nearly fell off my perch laughing at the vision of knees combusting (is that a word?)

bikergran I've just choked and spluttered over my glass of !
Hope the stains come out of the armchair .......

You are wicked!!

You need some Wolfhounds, Falcons and rats me thinks.....

Oh and ! can someone bring matches this time...I'm not rubbing my knees together again to make a spark, nearly set myself on fire last time

glass no not me this time, Galen is the ringleader for a change

nannieroz I may be in the wrong era, I seem to have seen Lurcher dogs hanging round the tables, but I never did attend my History classes lol. I need to do some homework on the "Tingernel" thingy! lol, don't want to turn up in the wrong costume Oh yes!! nannieroz one has to also dress up

Best be off need to go As*a for Vodka whoops I mean Vimto of course

biker is that you organising a party

My parcel did arrive biker and WOW! its nearly as big as me!!!! Have given myself several pats on the back today. I'm afraid you'll have to explain why we need the lurcher/whippet/greyhound. (I've led a very sheltered life) lol.

Vodka jelly? Mmmm yes please.

Galen no rush! will give me time to get alcohol supplies
loopylou best get your R.S.P.V sent back quick! think tickets will be in big! demand now where did I put my inflatable friend "Randolph" and! the puncture outfit, will probably need it once they have downed a few "Vodka Jellies" last time they were doing the Conga with him! poor thing .
