Where has it gone? Just as I was about to start sprucing it up for the jubilee and start tatting the bunting?

:(

Sadly I have no hormones. I am a wrung out, dried up sham of a woman, making me ideally placed to live out my years in IPOAT Hall.

Hullygully · 12/06/2012 18:20

Ahh, randomly angry.
Yes. I get randomly grumpy. I get cross with DH for not much in particular then apologise and cry and we drink wine and ponder how lucky he is to have me.

OMG we really are the same person

Hullygully · 12/06/2012 18:21

Oh Kal!

Pore pore you

Hullygully · 12/06/2012 18:22

I have afull beard.

Where is your sad thread Pag?

Pity we can't open an Emporium to raise funds. All the Tatting, tisanes, the possets and pamphlets - would all bring in a gold coin or several. Or get Syb to raid the pirates' doubloons.

Hullygully · 13/06/2012 11:05

oh these are passing sad times we live in. Dear MissKal's sad sad news and now Miss Entropy must needs take her leave. I understand she is to sail for darkest Africa and introduce them to Reiki and the Crystal Arts.

entropygirl · 13/06/2012 12:10

Did someone grab the coat of arms? I will send a vampire carrier pigeon back from the boat and you had better believe there will be trouble if the flag is not flying proudly over the hall!

entropygirl · 13/06/2012 12:11

Oh Kal that is so sad indeed. best wishes to you!

Hullygully · 13/06/2012 12:12

I can't do it

entropygirl · 13/06/2012 12:12

ohhh are we tatting quarks? I will do up, down, strange and top.

I think it's best to leave bottom, peppermint and sex appeal to someone else though...went a bit adverse last time.

KalSkirata · 13/06/2012 12:31

why are you sailing to darkest Africa Miss Entropy? You must go equipped. Torch. cos its dark, and double barrel shotgun as the mosquitos are the size of very large things.
And send IPOAT Hall a telegrpah.

KalSkirata · 13/06/2012 14:30

I shall be taking myself off for a restorative. Life outside IPOAT Halls is now so bad I actually want to end it all. MN is too much for me at the moment.
Keep tatting

Hullygully · 13/06/2012 14:32

Oi!

Don't go, just stay in the Hall with us.

Pagwatch · 13/06/2012 15:50

No no. We must not depart when things are glum. We must clutch each other tightly and repeat 'love and wine will see us through'.
It's the only way.
[true]

Jins · 13/06/2012 16:53

"love and brandy wine will see us through"
"love and brandy wine will see us through"
"love and brandy wine will see us through"

Pag is right. MN is not really an appealing place to be at the moment. The average IQ has dropped significantly and everyone is so combative.

IPOAT is a little oasis

sybilvimes · 13/06/2012 21:51

It's a very strange and sad circumstance when the infused madness that's IPOAT is the most sane part of mn, but 'tis true at the moment.

Kal, you can have my turn at Johnny. I wish I could offer you more, I'm so sorry about your news.

I shall indeed investigate the pirates' unmentionables for doubloons if it will help. It may take some time as I do like to be thorough about this kind of thing.

On the subject of woo, my mama believes firmly in guardian angels, although given the appalling way she was treated as a child I think any angel would have been firmly and justifiably de-winged. I think she was prepared to take hope anywhere she could get it.

Minimammoth · 14/06/2012 10:06

Dear ladies and Gels. We will survive< goes into full 'once I was afraid I was petrified ....> mode.
Want woo to exist, then fairy wand could be waved for Kel and Miss .
We shall have cake and all will be well.
Re quark tatting:I will tat the fuzzy bit in the middle
We could then try the Higgs Boson then they can find it. I can see the headlines now.

Umami · 14/06/2012 11:25

I'm pretty sure I don't have the correct needle hook racquet apparatus for tatting the Higgs boson. Perhaps a trip to HobbyCraft is called for?

Fiderer · 15/06/2012 09:25

Sybil, didn't think you'd hesitate before running back to the cove. Always so willing. Bring back some more brandy barrels while you're at it. Whatever 'it' is. Oh and a couple of pirates. I think dancing on the tables with a bandana and an eye-patch may cheer the Gels up somewhat.

Isn't entropy our Science Professor Gel? She can take care of the Hoggs Bison thingy. Will it be happy grazing on the Hall lawn?

Jins · 15/06/2012 10:08

Sadly entropy has left without showing us how to work the hadron colander. I'll have a go if you like but I make no promises Confused

Minimammoth · 15/06/2012 11:31

I think you just crank the handle Jins. But whatever you do don't press the BIG RED BUTTON or this might happen.

Jins · 15/06/2012 11:37

Possibly you pedal it???
