Nothing in Particular

Rae,

MSN is

having soem weird problems. Many MSN groups are having all their pages redirected to the what's new page.

This is a

weird error that doesn't affect all the groups (though it affects the official msn support group).

If you want to get

into the chat use this link, it should work: http://groups.msn.com/theravensrealm/chat

And BTW the Green Mile is one

of my favorite films. I must read the book someday.

Thanks for the link,

Craven ~ I'll test it. Do you think MSN will still be having problems by Saturday?

Watching The Green Mile was

a HUGE mistake. I've read the book five times and cried like a baby every time. By the time the movie was over, my

eyelids were already swollen...

You should read the book.....although for a King adapted movie,

there isn't a whole lot that's been left out. Just his flair for detail.

The link worked!!!

I'm sure the book

is great. The film was awesome and books tend to be better.

I don't know if MSN will get their act together by

Saturday. I don't think they even know what is wrong yet.

Their official support community has no clue either. It's

a strange bug that some groups are immune to for some reason.

In any case I'm glad we'll be moving to a forum

software I can fix (should we ever have problems like that).

You know, Rae, this "Nothing in particular" is a place I could really begin to call home! I guess I am just a nothing in particular sort of person.

Would you mind if I brought in a few comfy sofas, a lot of good coffee, a bar and a buffet - (it is full oyster, crayfish, mango, salad and fruit season here now) - settled down with a screwdriver and waited to see who will happen by - and rambled on for a while?

I hope your chat problems are sorted by the way.

I had lunch bought for me today - by a friend who usually doesn't do that sort of thing! We went to one of my favourite places by the sea - Estias - and talked for hours and went for a lovely walk along the beach - seemingly endless pale gold sand we have along our coast, punctuated only by the occasional old, wooden jetty - massive and silvered in the drenching light and wind, with large, mainly old, houses set well back from the beach.

The sun sets over the sea here - and what a joy it is to see the sunsets from the shore!

Is there anything more ecstatic than a dog playing and running on a beach?

I fancy a little drinkie.

And here is estias!

Debums said I should drink here. but after seeing the menu of that place I have to eat.

Pita bread with Tzatziki and Skordalia.

Saganaki, Patates, Keftedes, Tis Skaras Arnaki and Tis Skaras Ortiki.

I was just gonna have a vodka and go back to bed but they have better drinks so after we eat I'm ordering drinks!

Gee deb won't order so I'm gonna eat without her!

SInce this is virtual I'm gonna drink a wee bit too.

he he, no hangover and no bill and I get to drink their whole menu!

My goddess - Craven drank out their entire cellar!

I will never eat lunch in this town again!

Ahhhh

comfy couches and nectars of the gods

Sounds like a place to visit often, if not purchase and reside in full time

Thanks Rae

and greetings other patrons

Hello Quinn! Do we know you from Abuzz? What is your tipple - only I think Craven drank everything!

Nectar of the gods = I dont think any other descrption need apply!

Ya know, you guys really should get into the habit of warning me when I'm hosting a party.....Jeezopete!

Comfy couches, cool breezes, mouth-watering snacks and the best of the best of conversations.....

Welcome.....

P. S. Thanks for the invite.....

It's Dab's fault! She was like "Hey craven I'm gonna hijack Rae's thread because I'm mean like that!"

I said "noooo! That is downright cruel, think of others!"

She went "Nah, I'm inconsiderate"

I tried to stop her. But she started hitting me! And she always wins our fights.

I decided to lick my wounds and have a drink.

Gee, Craven -- look like the wine cellar in Hitchcock's "Notorious."

To me it just looked inviting! I even added the drunk emoticon for the occasion. But I WILL eat at that restaurant one day!

Craven's evening:
