RSVP Blog

I think everyone has doubted that and posted that at some time. I have never blocked any contact on this site but that is one I certainly would, no thank you

Kay at 11.29pm: "Well,warper,we KNOW people doubt your veracity on dating numbers..."

First I've heard of it, except from you every now and then, just after I've teased you a bit.

It's easy for you to make that claim, but it's a delicate issue for me to refute, because of privacy concerns. I certainly mustn't name them all here, with dates and venues of our first meetings.

And I won't spend an RSVP stamp to email the list to Her In Perth, for 'reliable verification'.

So I'm afraid that you're just going to have to believe that I'm a tryhard, so seriously searching for my match that you were one in so many that I've had first dates with, but so few that I've had third dates with.

So far. Another kiss came in yesterday....

Unfortunately, all I can say in my defence of my veracity

kurli at 11:29 PM:

1) Of course YOU'RE real, ma'am!

I was replying to Marcus, to back up my previous disappointment about his surprisingly slipshod science, and teasing you gently was just the icing on the cake. A bird and a bloke with one stone, if you get my drift.

2) "...never fails to amaze me that TW can post "ad nauseum". I blog three inocuous comments and they don't make the blog!"

Kay (which is for short - don't start thinking it's a pet name), this is not the first time you've raised that complaint.

I can only surmise that, just as one woman's 'Promiscuous' is another woman's 'Serial Monogamy', one poster's 'Innocuous' could perhaps look rather like a WW2 Bunker-assault Flamethrower to another person.

Especially if they were the moderate kind of person that would get chosen to be a moderator.

Kay, if it's any comfort to you, one of mine also hits the cutting-room floor every week or so - including my previous draft of the one at 10.39pm last night that upset your digestion this time.

You might have to resign yourself to the fact that people readily believe with no evidence at all in far more unlikely things than the existence of a blogging, celibate, middle aged dog lover living in Perth.
There has been no more than a rustle in the undergrowth so to say as far as the transcontinental verification has gone.
Perhaps we could petition the powers for a non compulsory pet style data chip and DNA recording to satisfy those who want authentic bloggers but still allow the amusing, confusing and entertaining performers.

Have you guys in Sydney got a date pencilled in for the lunch? You've got me interested now. I will be in Sydney for the last weekend in October. But guess that is probably way after your meet. There is someone special amongst you I would dearly like to meet. Think she knows who she is.

re: Brisbane bloggers meet.....I am always one to take note of karmic coincidence so, as the Pig n Whistle event is on the date first proposed, I say we go with the rsvp organised as this meet up. So PnW, arriving 7:30 - 8pm, Saturday, September 27th, and let's find each other and congregate...and have a really good night....and any one else who happens to be in town, please do come and join us!
I am having an rsvp ladies night, paint the town lipstick rouge, this Friday, so will see if those ladies feel like joining us....
Unless I hear No Way, protests, I will take it that people read this and are ok with it :)
Perth, honey, hope your cold is getting slayed and you are rugged up....we will raise a glass of two to you, and maybe something smaller might be organisable when you are here in October.... a little QLD hospitality to you girl!

Hey Outback, I like the german breeds as well, all alert and smart. Rum for me just makes me laugh more and I never get a hangover from it. My ex brother in law used to end up in jail if he drank rum but it doesn't have that affect and also I never drink anything to get completely totalled. I always want to be totally aware what is going on around me. However, big pup loves rum and she would happily climb on you to have a slurp !

Hi musicteacher, I'm in for a Sydney bloggers meet.
I don't go to the RSVP nights out as they are mostly in or north of Sydney. I don't drive in Sydney as it's a nightmare (even with my street directory I get lost) and taking a train alone and late at night is not a good option either. But a daytime meet would be great. I usually check out who's who and I've noticed that there aren't many visible Sydney bloggers.

I don't mind spending a few stamps to contact bloggers but I nominate YOU as the organiser. Anyone 2nd that lol.

Posted by: maestrac at August 27, 2008 1:25 PM

Hey- has anyone seen Steely eyes of late he is MIA :-(...........

May I please have one Vodka on the rocks with freshly cut lime and lemon and one strawberry just for good measure.

Mr Bartender and I shall stay in your fine establishment until Mr Wonderful arrives..................... now where the heck is he????????????????

Does he not know that he needs to visit the chemist for me on the way home???????

Oh wait I think I just saw him walk by my window............oooooooooxxxxxxxxxx

No sadly it is just the window cleaner :-(

If you all see him before I do can you tell him where I am please.........back in bed with the doona.... tell him I like his manners so if he is late home that he needs to call mexx

Would you mind telling him that he needs to and pick up my shoe from the shoeman in the city as I have the other one safely in my custody......

Reversed my usual civilised behaviour back to about ten thousand years before the sporran was invented. And the Beenleigh was worse than the Bundy.

Mousa, sorry about the abreviation. There are only 3 Tas bloggers that I know of. malsie, tassiedude and yourself. But there are probably a few people reading the blogs but not contributing.

You could start with a small number for morning coffee and build up from there.I think these things develop their own momentum as in effect they are friendship meets not potential date meets like the official RSVP functions.

Nice to see your posts and if you have not already been, welcome to the sandpit in the kindergarten.

Perth - I can see only one solution to your rum problem. Invite someone over and you can only drink half the bottle. You will both be tiddly and have a good time. Unless they also bring a bottle:) OH! the delerium.

Posted by: gordon1951 at August 27, 2008 10:24 AM

Outback she is a lady dog so she is not out marking her territory every five minutes. I have taken her thru quite a few obedience classes up to trialling which she thoroughly enjoys. She is also very well socialized right from the word go. I guess at home though she is my big puppy and companion dog and she goes wherever I go. Laying beside my bed is where she chooses to sleep at night and being a gsd you would expect that. Jumping on the bed is just being playful and funny and getting lots of attention of course. She is also the fifth gsd I have owned in my lifetime this far so I have a fair bit of understanding of this particular breed. My little cat is a bombay, the little heat seeking missile, so there you have the little furry family unit, all do their own thing, all loving and loyal, what more could a person possibly want.

Posted by: outbackdrifter at August 27, 2008 9:54 AM

No Gordon, I can't be trusted with rum. I love it and the bottle disappears in no time. Much safer not to have it in the house. I remember a while ago I told some neighbours up the street about wine on special, really good stuff and a wonderful per dozen price. I was met with a solemn look and they said no we can't buy wine by the dozen. We would drink it all at once. Both professional people, both working and they looked like two naughty kids standing together with heads hung low.

Posted by: iaminperth at August 27, 2008 9:41 AM

jaminperth - should have got the rum. Life is to short to worry about the concequences.

Posted by: gordon1951 at August 27, 2008 9:21 AM

Hey Willow, Thank you. My little cat is a heat seeking missile and she always climbs on my bed. My big puppy sleeps beside my bed and bashes me up when the alarm goes off each morning. Every now and then pup takes a flying leap on my bed and then digs her head in and turns a massive somersault and lands on her back. I can tell you a 38kg flying gsd is a site to behold, especially upside down with legs wriggling around. My eldest daughter is a total neat freak and is horrified by the antics at times. I have a home phone that rings a few times and then apparently connects. I didn't know about this as most of my calls are on mobile or at work. Big puppy howls and sings if the phone rings and we have a laugh. What I didn't know was that it answers automatically. Eldest daughter went off her nut at me one day as she said that b.........dog is now answering the phone for you !!!! Oh dear it's all such a worry.

Posted by: iaminperth at August 27, 2008 9:10 AM

I have removed my photograph from the site because it was taken in 2005 as I stated previously. My puppy at that stage was 10 weeks old. My 'big puppy' is now 38kgs and is a German Shepherd. I have only ever had one photograph and even that one was taken without my knowledge. The only other photograph I have was one taken for my current security tag where I work and it is a shocker.

The only events here in Perth now are at the Ruby Room at the Burswood Casino. It's a younger persons event and I can't really think you could talk there anyway. I thought the dinner idea was good, however, I suppose unless you change seats all night you don't get to talk to the people at the other end of the table either. I think Elf's idea is sound as it would be very difficult to book somewhere without paying a deposit and then if some people were unable to turn up at the last minute could be a bit of a problem. Sounds like fun. This always brings the reality home of how far Perth is actually away from the rest of Australia.

Posted by: iaminperth at August 27, 2008 8:54 AM

Posted by: willow29 at August 27, 2008 8:48 AM

M, What a great idea with the Iris. I took a photo on the mobile to send to eldest daughter but I didn't think of a photo to enlarge. I will do that today. It is the most beautiful thing, first bulb out so far for the season. I love the colour of nature and bulbs are so beautiful. I have some blue irises growing as well but so far only greenery showing. Good stuff will get me motivated as well as I am such a doddle when I have a cold.

Posted by: iaminperth at August 27, 2008 8:37 AM

esprit - there are two alternatives, as you have now worked out. Bloggers can agree to meet at an RSVP organised event, such as the PignWhistle or they can organise their own. If you organise your own, you need to do it through emails. This means using stamps. I am in contact with the waterbomber (love the new profile), junebaby, auntykaz and I think I have timewarpers email address somewhere.

Posted by: woodnwine at August 27, 2008 8:31 AM

Biggest shock this morning, woke up alive !!! Today apparently my body has told me we will have a barking contest with my german shepherd all day long and also a contest to see who has the largest nose resembling that of an old drunk who has fallen out of the pub. I have also woken to find a treasure chest of 'stuff' covering my bed including the cat. There are strepsils, panadol, mobile, kleenex etc., etc., etc., and when I asked usually hesitant dog if she wanted to go into the cold garden this morning, the answer was 'you bet' and she was out of here. All in all a fairly restless night I think. However, being the pragmatic person I am I will now start to feel better, albeit barking better and will regain my strength to return to work tomorrow primarily to wreak havoc with my co-workers who keep ringing me up to sort out 'stuff' and always seem to end up in chipmunk type laughter at my expense. These nasty little individuals will not enjoy my suffering without dire consequences, although I might make a toblerone cheesecake and take it in with me, that will shut them up for sure.

Good morning , one and all, had a really busy day yesterday,but had a quick look over yesterday's posts here in blogland...interesting!
Has there ever been a bloggers meet here in Tas?I don't imagine we would have the numbers but I would be very interested if there was enough interest. Maybe I should just get to a melboune / Sydney meet?
It would be really nice to put faces , voices ,to the nics.It's so much fun in here , can only imagine how much fun you would be in person.
Anyway blisskisses to you all to start your day ! XXX

Waterbombe, well that is some profile you have there..... No mention of cooking skill though was that intentional???.............K. Posted by: auntykaz at August 26, 2008 11:48 PM

Kaz, sadly no, I think none of the women I quoted in my profile cooked, so I can't give voice to any cooking expertise. Pity, because on Sat night I cooked tempura prawns with avocado and lime, whole deep-fried snapper with a chinese mushroom, garlic, soy and ginger sauce, teriyaki chicken, broccoli, bok choy and beans with pine nuts, roasted pumpkin, and apple-and-cherry crumble. I doubt Dolly, Di or Mae ever went to the trouble, frankly. My difficulty with conveying all aspects of myself is probably due to using others' words to write my profile, but I'll persist. If I have time today I'll try to mock something up from the writing of JD Salinger and Mike Myers...maybe one of them was a cook?

kurli at 11:01 AM: RSVP organises an event in Brisvegas most Saturday nights - CBD, Mt Gravatt or Indooroopilly. About $15 entry. We could agree here to go to one of them - if we can talk over 90 decibel dance music.

Three times in the last 9 months we've had special bloggermeets (last 2 near Southbank.) I co-convened the second one.

We announce on the blog who's convenor, and RSVP makes money out of it because to find out exactly where and when costs you a stamped email to the convenor. You want to convene the next one?

the most beautifully formed white iris ever. I have cut it and brought it inside, it's crisp white and huge with the most beautiful golden centre. The petals are frilled around the edges and it glows!

Just catching up after a long day at work, so I don't know if anyone else has suggested it, but, you should take photos of the iris and enlarge them. Do it soon before the heating takes away that first flush of beauty and freshness.

Thanks. You know what I've been looking for an excuse to get to the coast. My friends up there have been complaining about not seeing me especially now that two of them have had children since I left.

Great idea Kurli!!! What about the Beach House Bar & Grill 13th Sept...or 11th Oct ???

That's at Garden City...plenty of free parking and we could all go for Coffee afterwards

Is this central enough to include some of the Gold Coasters as well??

Posted by: starryeyez at August 26, 2008 11:12 PM

If this helps at all. I didn't go to any but I remember one dinner was advertised at Sails in Fremantle and the other at Hillary's Boat Harbour. Both venues were quite large and medium priced but very good food. I can't remember how many places were available each time but it was quite a few. They were also age themed and it must have been the slightly older age group otherwise I wouldn't have noticed. I didn't actually attend either of them because I was hooked up with something else but I would have done quite happily and thought it a great idea.

Posted by: iaminperth at August 26, 2008 10:58 PM

Hey WB, love the profile, what about you're a good housekeeper, everytime they leave you keep the house. Great sense of humour, keep it up, it lightens the site. Look tonight and today, except for one sad hiccup it's all been a bit of fun really. Thanks everyone for making me laugh when I am such a mess with this wrotten cold, even Marcus, although he made me puke.

Hey Marcus, I do already. Kurli and I chat on hotmail quite often. There is not a lot of personal stuff you can put on the site and we have a laugh off site quite often. If I get up there early October which at the moment looks like happening we will meet up for lunch or something. As for the first part of your post that is about the worse thing you could possibly have ever said and I think I am now about to be violently sick..........oh yuk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry ELF and other Brisbanites. I have just gotten home. Yes the 27th at this stage is free. Shall we meet in town on closer to the South? Are there any Gold Coasters that want to join us?

What I am thinking, is to also email Admin, to see if they can bring back these so called dinners, that Perth has mentioned. It can be added up top to the RSVP Events section. If they ran them every 2-3 months, we could all organise it here in the blogs to make it a regular event? It could be a blog/non-blog combined event as well?

Posted by: starryeyez at August 26, 2008 10:27 PM

WB - amusing profile - Its a shame you're not accepting kisses, Im sure it'd get heaps!

Posted by: willow29 at August 26, 2008 10:22 PM

I have some Strepsils + and my left ear and nose are now numb. They are supposed to be soothing and anaesthetise the throat. I am now keeping a watchful eye on other extremeties case they freeze and fall off in the night as well. I mean who sits there and thinks up these things. Let's give people lolly things to suck and their left ear falls off but their throat feels a little better. Oh, I'm still sick.

A self serving monologue is one that is repeated over and over and over. The same old report of everything said and done, bit by bit, again and again and obtaining the same outcome.

I won't bother to respond to the second part of your post as you sound like a very unhappy bitter person to me and I feel very sorry for you if that is the case.

Posted by: willow29 at August 26, 2008 9:51 PM

Would you consider the degree of risk (Risk being the possibility of being hurt again) would be multiplied by the intensity of the relationship.

1) Depends on who did the breaking up
2) Time together
3) level of involvement (marriage/ boy/girl friend)
4) The amount of hurt involved (why/how)
5) All the other influencing factors friends, families, mortgage, kids.

So then; If you were married? (which by all rights you in your own mind have already given your body and soul and agreed to spend the rest of your life with someone forfeiting the need to ever have to search for anyone ever again). And lets just say that one day it all just went away in the most horrible fashion. (as I am guessing most marriages end).
Then the risk is to be able to take the step towards trusting someone whom you have just met and couldn't possibly know anything other than what they portray.
Who do you trust?

That's something I really love about England the old pubs, I think that would be a good name. No, not hot flushes, been there, done that and I can tell you it is horrible.

There's always someone nasty and jealous pops up isn't there. Just when we're having a harmless joke there is a nasty spiteful comment posted like that. It's unnecessary and uncalled for. And whatever has it got to do with any tall poppy syndrome. There is no one on this site who is better than anyone else. Just jealous of people having a laugh and having a bit of fun.

Hey Rod, I love the little blue creatures too, also the telly tubbies and the care bears. I still have all my kids toys and teddy bears and I tell them I am keeping them for them and their kids, but I like them too. They all have happy memories for me. I have a small teddy that my father bought for my youngest which was her first teddy. She is still in perfect condition and I remember when he sent it to her with a little note. I still miss my father. He passed away after a long battle with cancer when he was 84 about 10 years ago. My father was an extremely complicated man, not outwardly affectionate to anyone but he loved and accepted me for who I am and was extremely proud.

Posted by: iaminperth at August 26, 2008 9:10 PM

At the moment WB copious amounts of alcohol seems to be helping...or maybe that's just deadening the pain. I should be at work but have a non existent voice at the moment so I am of no use to anyone. How long will I be laid up, probably long enough to work off a chronic hangover tomorrow morning. Honestly though I don't think there's much you can do about it except treat the symptoms and a couple of panadol and a good glass of alcohol seems to be helping at the moment.

Posted by: iaminperth at August 26, 2008 9:06 PM

Yes Willow29 the nooorty corner for you. Just beware of Kurli with the whip.

Posted by: gordon1951 at August 26, 2008 9:02 PM

I like Marcus' posts usually. They are contraversial at times and he does say what he thinks but is usually such good value to the blogs. Sometimes his questions are straight to the point without any frills but that's okay too. i was surprised when he questioned by bona fide as I thought it was always pretty obvious. Also I find these constant discussions not only tedious and boring but totally disruptive to any type of discussion. Even today when the long winded self serving monologues haven't been constantly rammed down everyone throats it is so much better. I'm sure we can move on to something better and happier and more enjoyable. Risks in dating, walking down the road with a very pongy old bloke. Now that's a risk I am not going to take again.

Posted by: willow29 at August 26, 2008 8:50 PM

You are right Jewels about the b logging. All the Fairfax sites for the major newspapers have blogs going on all topics, sport, news, politics etc. It's just the same on here, another blog site. You don't have to be a sportsman to blog on the sports site, or a politician to blog on the pollie site. No, WB I am not travelling to Bris just to prove I am real, but possibly will be coming up early October with my eldest daughter. I will certainly be meeting up with one blogger whilst I'm there.

Posted by: iaminperth at August 26, 2008 8:48 PM

oh, Perth, you poor thing. What are you taking for it? Nothing much works for a cold, does it...you just have to sit it out. Next time I get one I'm going to try Chinese medicine as it seems to be effective. How long do you think you will be laid up?

Oh how disgusting, Perth,...schoolboy humour in a fifty year old is hardly classy is it. Why would he possibly think that would attract a woman, the mind boggles. Btw I hope you are not seriously thinking of flying Perth-Brisbane to appease Marcus? Remember what we do with demanding two year olds who throw tantrums, Perth...yes, we ignore them. Eventually they grow up. Best approach here too I think.

"Waterbombe, if you have a loving partner and a great life, what the hell are you doing spending all day on the blogs". Posted by: gordon1951 at August 26, 2008 6:44 PM. Gordon, can you count? You must not be able to, if you think I spend all day on the blogs. I made three posts tonight around 7pm, four yesterday around 7pm, and five or six short and may I say funny ones the day before that. Now I'll stop before I sound like Timewarp.

Eral, you might notice that much of what has been said to you about your profile in the last few days was said by other people, not me, as I have hardly had any time to post, work has been so busy. Why don't you get along to a Sydney Bloggers meeting to prove you are bona fide...I mean if Perth is worried by Marcus's demands, why shouldn't you be.......the Sydney bloggers have a lot of meetings and there are a lot of people there who would just love to meet you, really.

Btw I never bend to aggressive men, nasty men, (or women) or people who display anger in an attempt to pressure others to do what they want. Being bullied just isn't in my personality, I guess. It makes for a calm and happy life for me, although the occasional bully explodes around me.

Glad to see you back, Drone. It's pleasant to see some low level egos and rationality on this blog...you make some excellent points which I really enjoy reading.

Ok, off to spit and polish my profile....I'm trying a Princess Di/Dolly Parton combo now....Mother Teresa, as it turned out, said pretty much the same things as Princess Di so that didn't allow for the full variety in my personality. I feel Dolly will offer a different perspective, while still being so close to the real me that you wouldn't believe it. Seeya soon.

Posted by: waterbombe at August 26, 2008 8:31 PM

Sound pretty pathetic don't I Tassie but I am honestly so sick. I saw this beautiful iris in my front garden and just had to have it to remind me that spring is here/coming/whatever. Jams and blue uggs about 3p.m. not a good look at all I can tell you but I'm too sick to care.

the RSVP Blogs are a public forum for any one that is on RSVP...if you have a profile you can blog.

RSVP, like Kaz said does help you meet more Australians...if it wasn't for the blogs I would not have met Woody, Jenjen, wishful, today, jovial, grace, dolphin, brilliant, kaz, victoria and waterbombe just to mention a few!!!!!!!

The blogs are part of the site, but the blogs are for discussions, sharing experiences and sharing your ups and downs in life. The blogs are not the matchmaking part of RSVP....so can we move on and get back to the sharing and fun stuff.....just my thoughts... jewels

Howdy Perth. I didnt start to learn to ride until I was 31. The brumbies and misfits that this riding school taught us on made the group of us (6 women) stuff of legend (not quite but we had some SERIOUS injuries). My old horse Buddy can just about outrun anything and everyone that's ridden him has come off at least once. But like you say, when the wind is in your face and all you can hear is the thundering of hooves as you duck branches and hope to hell that nothing spooks him mid-stride.... you know you're really alive.10 shots of pure adrenalin.

Posted by: willow29 at August 26, 2008 8:08 PM

Esprit,. What about a byo champagne breakfast in a park somewhere starting about 10 or maybe a midafternoon byo something or other outside. No bookings needed and all you have to do is byo and turn up. If it were a good brekkie whoever wanted could break off and go somewhere afterwards. Or maybe a champagne pub brekkie somewhere near the water. I love big brekkies with champagne sitting near the water, also not so expensive and then you could always exchange numbers etc., and move on to somewhere else if you wanted to.

I think this needs to be a standard form letter, it needs saying so often. So I have copied it into Word on my desktop and will just paste it each time it is necessary, as it gets so tedious having to remind some people of everyone's rights.

Bloggers Rights and Responsibilities
1. The moderators are the boss of the blogs.
2. Anyone can blog if the moderator lets them.
3. 'Anyone' includes single, married, gay, and de facto people.
4. This is a private site so our opinions about the moderators' decisions are irrelevant. If you don't like it, you have to lump it. That includes ALL of us, including the people who see themselves as exceptions to any rule.

I went for a walk with a guy once and he was popping along and I gave him 'that look' and he said what ! It's frogs. He was walking and farting loudly would you believe, and then he said 'what ! everyone does it! and I said 'not when they bloody well walk with me, you smelly old bugger' and kept walking faster and faster and faster.....

Posted by: iaminperth at August 26, 2008 7:40 PM

I'm with you Kaz.......on the drink that is and we're 2 hours behind you guys, oh and about 30 years I think. Have to agree also though this is a blog, only a blog and so far today it's been really pleasant except for a small hiccup along the way. I think anyone who chooses to should be able to blog so long as their posts are relevant, slightly to the topic, although most of the time that doesn't seem to matter any more either. Apparently I have to prove my bona fides according to Marcus which means I need to travel to Brisbane for all to see. Surely anyone would think that if I am a fake I would have thought up a much more dramatic profile. I actually played mine down because I didn't want to seem over the top.

Hi Willow. I love the smell of horse sweat. I just love the smell of horses. I more or less lived with them from aged 12 onwards whether it be riding for pleasure, competing or then racehorse spelling. I have sustained quite a few injuries over the years eventing but there is nothing like cross country on a superb athletic horse to get the heart pumping.

Posted by: iaminperth at August 26, 2008 7:22 PM

We are adults here........I don't believe commenting on blogs falls into the "adultery" category.......

I'm going to ask you, one last time - leave me entirely out of your comments - once and for all.

You ( and Drone) started all of this nonsense on the another blog.. and all i said to him was he was the proverbial pot calling the kettle black.( re marcus)

Since then you've decided to repeatedly to attack me and any that showed me some sypmatico.

When i tried to ignore you, you brought to this blog! Are you still full of poison ? Your just adding insult to injury !

However, I also don't intend on slandering you to the others, nor insinuate that they should avoid you. In fact after this i wont mention you on these blogs ever again.

The spirit of a blog is to share 'information' and opinions in a fun way, not a place to sharpen your claws.

OBD - please mate - do your worst ...

As far as I can see IF we get a meet up here in sunny Brissie, anyone should be able to go, if they read the blogs or whatever....my thoughts on that are that it means only restaruant tables can be booked for a few, so the logistics might be an issue...on the other hand, we could choose to meet at a pub area that does food so that there is no real need to book anything! Or if it is an evening get together (as I suggested, any responses??) we could do some tapas or something. Any comments, feedback anyone? Can we get this show off the ground???

Posted by: espritlibrefemme at August 26, 2008 7:03 PM

Oh, very light hearted here today for the most part....
OBD, l am too tired to play with toys, someone just get me a glass of red and l will be a happy gal.
This cold is sure taking my energy away, first day back at work since Thursday and l am feeling it....my brain feels all confuddled........fairy flossy.......Just about over it actually........Please pass me that glass of red now.......please............K

I think it would be naive to think that everyone who blogs on here is single or unattached. It is after all an open blog and anyone really can join. I think WB is just being honest.

Posted by: iaminperth at August 26, 2008 7:01 PM

MT - If its Tassie and Eral in there together, I dont think I want to watch - like Tassie said before "what a waste!".

Posted by: willow29 at August 26, 2008 7:00 PM

Perth, I think if you go along the lines of "Horses sweat, men perspire and ladies gently glow", then pigs fart, men pass wind and ladies gently fluff...

Posted by: willow29 at August 26, 2008 6:52 PM

i thought this was a singles forum? if you have a partner why be on here? what does he think i wonder

Posted by: chad1958 at August 26, 2008 6:46 PM

Naughties..............

I think we should give Kurli the"whip" first
Now MT are we seeing a new side of you ?? :))))))

Posted by: outbackdrifter at August 26, 2008 6:45 PM

Waterbombe 26aug 5.50 - I dont need to see your profile. I just read your posts. If you have a loving partner and a great life, what the hell are you doing spending all day on the blogs. I think you need to get a life not the people on here looking (hopefully) for a partner. I know I am of to the corner. Gordon.

Posted by: gordon1951 at August 26, 2008 6:44 PM

Hi Gordon, Ghastly isn't it. I am coughing and carrying on, lost my voice, hot one minute, frozen the next. Never mind, can blog away all day with the laptop in bed. Just about to have some alcohol, I'm sure that will deaden the pain. If a guy is an Old Fart, Gordon, then what is a woman ? Apparently males and femals make equal amounts of gas during the day but the guys seem to enjoy passing it more especially with the multitude of sounds accompanying it. Sorry, I saw it on Oprah......well I am stuck in bed with the flu!!!!

Posted by: iaminperth at August 26, 2008 6:43 PM

Jen...you are a great kisser(wink)!

ERAL: I am sure you are wild in bed Wink,Wink,Wink,Wink...I have something in my eye....wink,wink.

Absolutely no cameras allowed and those who want to watch will have to bring the food....

Posted by: musicteacher at August 26, 2008 6:34 PM

Some of the comments today have shown there may be a riskier thing than dating....Blogging!!
Thanks to those that have seen the lighter point to the day. Enjoyed the lighter side.
Maybe I am too gullible but I believe you are all real people, some having great fun here.
Grego@4.42 great scenario, thanks.
Cheers all from a happy dater.

Posted by: lifebegins47 at August 26, 2008 6:30 PM

Hi all you flu suffers. I have just spent a week in bed with it. You have all my love and sympathy. Hope you get over it soon. Love Old Fart Gordon.

Posted by: gordon1951 at August 26, 2008 6:24 PM

There's this guy outside the kinder who is kinda good looking, very athletic and also kinda smart and he rather likes Waterbombe too and worse she really likes him. And my guess he's a kinda action guy and would sort out rivals rather than talk to em nice.Posted by: grego7 at August 26, 2008 4:42 PM

Ha ha Grego, exactly, especially the bit about the action guy not talking nice but doing some sorting! He's not the patient, caring, sweetly sympathetic sort that I am. Lol.

Posted by: waterbombe at August 26, 2008 5:56 PM

I really think some of you need to get out more, it gets kind of claustrophobic in here. For example, all this carry on about me putting my profile up and thus placing bloggers' needs and priorities above those of my partner is pretty weird....why on earth would you guys be more important to me than him? You really need to get over yourselves if you think you are more important than him. I don't care what your values are, you can make your own decisions according to them, but I'm not living by them. I've got a set of my own, which I'm very happy to continue with.

Posted by: waterbombe at August 26, 2008 5:50 PM

Pooches, usually the only reason a persons bf's are queried is because they have not been sighted by other bloggers Posted by: laughsandtalks at August 26, 2008 2:12 PM

In that spirit, has anyone sighted ERAL? Anyone at all?

And HELLO, Marcus, this is cyberspace....you do not have to prove your physical presence to operate in it....that's kinda the point of cyberspace. You seem to be stuck in the eighties, darl.

Perth I have absolutely no problem with anything you said, and I can't imagine why anyone would think so. Thanks for the compliment about 'outside the square' btw.
I think it would be a shame if you and Drone left the blogs, you both talk excellent sense. If you guys go, you leave even more space for the Warpeds and LarfsandBarfs of the world...is that what you want? And you don't have to 'prove' yourself to Marcus....don't let him bully you into doing things according to his values.

Grego, your last post was a hoot...lol. It's really good to laugh about this stuff. My bet is that Marcus actually sits outside quite a few playgrounds, hence his attitude to women. Just a hunch.

I am about to put up my profile but I have to warn you, not a word of it is written by me, but I claim that it entirely reflects my personality...after all, why should I reinvent the wheel blah blah...my position on this is exactly the same as ERALs. So no problem, right?

Btw, this 'alpha female' thing is going a bit too far....I've got no time for hierarchies...I have no desire to be part of one. I just don't like that kind of concept. We have come a long way since the monkeys, most of us, and mapping that sort of animal organisation onto human society.

Posted by: waterbombe at August 26, 2008 5:48 PM

I just went in my garden, coughing and spluttering and looking like a dragon, blue uggs and all and there in all it's beauty the most beautifully formed white iris ever. I have cut it and brought it inside, it's crisp white and huge with the most beautiful golden centre. The petals are frilled around the edges and it glows! Spring is here, oh thank goodness for that. And that means summer is on the way, I am so glad, now I can come out of hibernation!!!!

Sorry simple question. Can only Bris bloggers go to Bris meet?

Ok back to the frog!
Mmm beautiful princess for a week.
On the other hand talking frog is pretty cool. Grrrrrr

Metal, depends on the monkey. Have a read of The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris. It was derided when it first came out but is now a classic on human behaviour. The follow up The Human Zoo by the same author is also very good.

Human beings after all are only monkeys with a bigger brain and hotted up sex organs. Cant see what monkey blokes see in monkey girls myself whereas human females are the most beautiful creatures on the planet after tigers that is.

Perth I agree with you; from what I have seen kurli seems very cool, All I was saying it would be no fun getting wet with your cold ( Im still trying to get over the flu myself ) :)))

Posted by: outbackdrifter at August 26, 2008 5:18 PM

Good grief Grego - You are going to be in sooooooooooooooo much trouble, staight to the naughty chair for you.

Posted by: iaminperth at August 26, 2008 5:18 PM

I've got an email contact with you blueeyed, and kurli, starry, and TW. The one I don't have is woody but maybe someone else has if woody doesn't want to contact me. I am happy to be the organiser with regards to communication, through the emails.
Again, as a starting suggestion, Saturday 27 September, 7pm place to be clarified....starry, you can email me the details if you want - we are still on 'free time' with that. I also have OBD, grego and Jen if you want me to go through any of those with the details, woody.
What about people who don't blog but maybe read the blogs and might want to come along? What's the usual protocol?

Posted by: espritlibrefemme at August 26, 2008 5:09 PM

adds "Wild in bed. " to that list .
( its true ! i promise )
lol

I know - i know ...naughty corner ....sheesh.

I remember there were dinners organised by the site here in Perth and they would advertise two different restaurants, one north side of the river and one south side. I remember one was at Sails restaurant in Freo and they used to advertise for a certain amount to attend and split it equally male/female. Sounds like a good idea and a good way to mix. Unfortunately though it stopped, don't know why. It could be that it was outsourced to a co-ordinator and just didn't work but I thought it a great idea.

Posted by: iaminperth at August 26, 2008 5:07 PM

Amour, You are a laugh! No, I'm more palamino at the moment, not a T/bred at all. What a saga that was. Fine Cotton apparently was totally different colour to the horse raced that day. That's Qld racing for you though. I was involved in the industry for about 28 years with the QTC and the RJC with the registrations etc. Put me off betting for life. I love the horses and used to ride competetively but theracing industry, now that's another story. I don't think I want to be brown though, although any colour would be better than this yellowy white mess I am at the moment.

i relaise that people are only using the "Alpha female/male" phrase in comparison, but does anyone else find it slightly degrading for someone to be compared to a monkey?

Posted by: metalscott at August 26, 2008 4:45 PM

Posted by: laughsandtalks at August 26, 2008 2:12 PM

Marcus, I finally figured what was between you and Waterbombe. Youv'e got the hots for her. And pretty bad if I am not mistaken.
Not that I am blaming you. She is after all your intelectual match and more, she is a class act and probably drop dead georgeous and just a bit older so she can mother you as well.

For you she is the perfect woman. No wonder you are always attacking her. You remember from kindergarten, that beautiful little girl you always liked, was the one you picked on the most.

Now there is only one problem in our kinder. There's this guy outside the kinder who is kinda good looking, very athletic and also kinda smart and he rather likes Waterbombe too and worse she really likes him. And my guess he's a kinda action guy and would sort out rivals rather than talk to em nice.

Now that's a hell of a shame. So whats a clever little boy to do but pick on the delectable object of his desire, kick sand in her face, pull her hair and do other annoying stuff. At least that way she takes some notice of him rather than ignoring him altogether.

But the more the little boy picks on the pretty little girl the more the other girls dislike him and the more isolated he gets. And his clown tricks and smart answers to the teacher become less appealing to the other kids.

So a clever little boy is best to leave the pretty little girl alone and one day a nice little girl will come along and think the sun shines out of the ar** of the clever little boy.

Hi Willow, We had a spelling property just west of Brisbane. We had horses sent to us with jockey itch, what a nightmare that is. Passed from the boots of the jockeys from one horse to another when they were track riding in the mornings. Rain scald wasn't such a problem except for the mares in the back paddock as most of the horses were stabled for the duration of their stay. 4a.m. start to get them out of the stables each morning after feed and then cleaning of the stables prior to the flies arriving. It was good, I enjoy the outdoors and freedom. Spring in Perth is lovely and I like the summer as well. We have air con in the house as not many houses here have large verandahs for some reason or other and therefore it gets very hot. Apart from the isolation here, it's a good place to live.
