It seems like we have been in here for weeks to me, anyone else feel that way ?

Honestly, yes.

It's not Digi's fault either. It's us.

Four days into the game I thought a week had past and I really can't pinpoint why. I am spending vast amounts of time here, or at least it feels like it. It also seems we are spending time reading and answering topics (not Digi's but our own) rather than just talking to one another. By the time we're finished posting, very few people have the patience or the extra time to stick around and chit chat on the messageboards. When chat time comes around, it's like we're all inside the same room instead of yelling at each other through seperate cardboard boxes. I actually like chat better than out here. I also feel like most everyone here thinks they have to post a ton to please everyone outside. Each person has their own individual agenda here.

I just have as much fun with it as I can.

Gone for the day, work requires my absence until 5 pm board time.

Gu, once again I think you have hit it on the head. You are really scaring me, man. Separate agendas. And how am (empahsis added) I going to win? We haven't quite snapped to the fact that about the only thing we can do in here is be ourselves, and we might as well entertain ourselves by talking to each other. Well, maybe Merlin and I snapped to that pretty early on, and then the house went crazy, and then the weather cleared up and Merlin had to go off to work.

I am still hopeful, not I'll make that stronger, confident, that we'll all settle down pretty soon and get down to business. I think that would have happened after the first banishment, but now that has been pushed off three days, so we may have chaos for a little while longer, or we may gel today. You never know... Keep trying...

I think you just have to get to it.

So Juju what are you doing today besides spending all day on the computer? BTW I'm glad you like the site of the day today.

Stay tuned for a new group photo currently in production after an exhaustive search and extensive photo auditions from a global headhunter!

Ok, I get the gist that we all feel something is screwy with us here. So, I'll leave it at that and we'll see what happens. The prizes are kick butt but I can't believe that's all some of you might be thinking about.

Are you just going to take the prizes and run off never to be seen again like Optics? Is this like a rest stop? Just questions.

New, wait up, I am going with you.

Ocean, not sure what's on the agenda. Kind of lazy morning, saw movie Support Your Local Sheriff on television. James garner, Joan Hackett, good chemistry between two. cold, clear and windy here, but may still walk on beach. Maybe go check out audubon preserve over near brownsville. still trying to read 700 page book, but not having much success during the game.

Well after much research the photo is just about ready.

It's just an update for Cammie's departure, Joni's arrival, and Spam's transformation.

Juju what 700 pg book are you reading?

Newamush

Same here, Juju. I was about half way through a 700 page book and haven't picked it up in almost two weeks. After being here, I'm really not interested in reading anything else.

And what are you up to today, Ocean, besides the photo?

LOL, figured you might ask about the book - it's Harry Potter and the goblet of fire. I'm finding it not quite as riveting so far as the first three. If you haven't looked at those books, they are quite all right for adults to read. there is something for everyone. I like the names and the images she conjures, like the kids getting buzzed on butterbeers.

A friend of mine told me I must read a Harry Potter book. I'm sure I'd like it but I don't have the time right now. Besides, I just got another book for Christmas.

I love kids books, especially short ones like Where the wild things are.

I have an incredible amount of junk to do today. I had my car fixed already this a.m., paid bills, now I have to get my taxes ready, do dishes, eat french fries and still manage to solve any puzzles that come along and respond to all posts with meaningful messages from the heart. Since this is my last free Saturday until March, I'm trying to make the most of it.

I was into "Winter's Heart" by Robert Jordan. Ninth book in a series. Pretty involved. I can't concentrate.

I am a huge fan of Harry Potter. Gobble up each one. It's so simply entertaining. And I'm lucky. My partner's in the book business and can get them before they come out. It's great.

Wow Ocean! It sounded like you were going to use your last Sat. to go out and have fun or something. Now, it sounds like all the crap I have to do today. LOL! That's not really a day off, but...


Juju,

Ok, I've seen the Harry Potter books and when I asked a friend about one, I was chastised and the desire disappeared. What is the best Harry Potter book that is out? I can't believe I asked that.

I'm afraid I'm having fun on the net every night of the week and now my bills all have late fees added on. So there's not much fun to be had (off the net that is) for 2day.

Gu (and other Texans and/or whatever applies) do you have a pronounced Texas accent?

One never thinks of accents when on a board. But it's an aspect of someone that is really pretty central.

I remember how charming it was to encounter Moondance's accent.

LOL Ocean - do you have an accent? Texans would probably definitely say you do.

You must also realize Texas is a BIG place with a diverse heritage. There are at least 3 to 4 distinct "accents" depending on what part of Texas you are from. From the West Texas twang to the famous Texas drawl. And there are a majority of people that have no discernible accent at all.

Well got to get back to the tub.

Of course I have an accent.

I have a Chicago accent when I speak in English and a Parisian accent when I speak in French.

An accent... how cute ;) hehe

See, it's weird... I watch tv and listen to the radio and stuff, and I never notice people having an accent different than mine... so is that "accent" you hear with most people on tv called anything? I mean, we all have a slight variation on it... but mostly it sounds the same...
