AIBU Books Game Part Seven

[CJCregg]

Hi all, here we are again ...

As always, everyone welcome to pile in with AIBU book synopses, as long as you bring ice cream or something equally tempting for when we're stuck.

To continue mine - I'm in charge but it's terribly difficult to keep control. I don't know how long I can keep their respect. I didn't ask to be in charge ...

Maybe <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=terrorstore.com/images/Witch%2520Hat%2520Headband.jpg&imgrefurl=terrorstore.com/index.php%3Fmain_page%3Dproduct_info%26cPath%3D3%26products_id%3D104&usg=__rDatftknMKRx8DQXqnLWP5J1l9c=&h=336&w=350&sz=44&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=93uZEMRhp8MMyM:&tbnh=123&tbnw=145&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dwitch%2Bheadband%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26rlz%3D1T4ACPW_en___GB365%26biw%3D1291%26bih%3D484%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=358&ei=YRS3TJKiGNO4jAfPn72ICQ&oei=YRS3TJKiGNO4jAfPn72ICQ&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=16&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0&tx=83&ty=87" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this ?

Occult,but not particularly scary, Pol!
Now that hat thing - that's scary...

Hi CJ!
Does anyone else believe God talks to you,or are you alone in thinking this??

Has he got a mission in mind for you, CJ Severed?

So...AIBU to want to be more involved in my daughter's life?

NBU Pogleswooooo, do you not see much of her then?

Pogle, are you a bit controlling?

I'm not ambitious for myself so much, as for my son.

...Well,it's complicated.I do see her,but we don't communicate - and she's a teenager now...

MCP on your wildlife loving boy(?),Ants,please!
(loving these new nicknames BTW!)

Are you, er, (struggles to find delicate way to ask) not really that alive any more, P-wooooo?

I'm really worried about my DB, he is really ill and he still hasn't told father about his secret bride. On the plus side though I finally summoned up the nerve to ask her to marry me and she's said yes! ...

(er...second "her" is the new beauty in the neighbourhood, not my brother's wife!)

One had rather assumed that! (to your last comment...)

...yes,I'm dead! But really ,with my talents I don't see that that should be an insurmountable problem.Her father thinks I should back off...

MCP!

Hello, everyone! Just paddling by - have moved and got broadband on (yay) but need to go an unpack some of those tottering piles.

I believe you are all BU :o

Hey,llandb! BU?? Us? Nice to see you back!
Scan your tottering piles carefully as you unpack,maybe you've got the perfect AIBU lurking there...

I hope you're moisturising then, Pol!

Hooray, llandb!

Hope the move wasn't too traumatic and all is well in the llandb household.

Well done, Pogle, I was indeed Miss Dido Twite, and I don't know what you're worried about because you seem to have read everything else.

And yes, Bonnie's parents did return, kick out Miss Slighcarp, keep Sylvia and generally set Willoughby Chase to rights.

No ideas on anything and I should be packing as we're going on holiday tomorrow. Yippee!

Holiday? Everyone I know seems to be going away,but not us!

Have a lovely time!

Oh, exciting, Moomin - I hope it's not a raft holiday :o - have fun!

Pogle, the tottering piles were too dusty to scan. I did find a large-ish spider! It ran under the sofa and I haven't been game to evict it.

Very impressed by everyone's spooky names! :)

Ooh, catching up on thread at p27 (and remonstrances WRT corruption of lurking DCs) - my DD's first intelligible words rhymed with 'rugger' and 'ruck'. My fault. Oops. :o

oooh, you're all baaaaaack! Isn't Pointless an, er, imaginative tootler :o

Are you going on holiday to the magic tranquil library place, Moomin?

Gazes round at "Marie Celeste" type raft..is anybody out there??

MCP!

I'm here Pogle, with blankets to keep out the chill. Perhaps we can build a nice book-filled ark with tottering piles and a cosy log-fire, ready for Moomin's return?

...Well I am blissfully engaged, happiness only slightly marred by DFiancee's stepsister, who used to visit so often but now seems sad and downcast. What can be wrong with her I wonder?

Hi all, I am here too!

No idea on anyone's, though ... Evil/Elephant, yours sounds as though I should know it but I'm miles away from getting it. What is your DB's secret?

And Pogle, more clues please, I am ghoulishly stumped.

I've been forced to send my son away but I know one day he'll return and claim what is rightfully his ...

Hi CJ [hgrin]

Look, your severed head!

You can call me evilphant if you like

Yours sounds very exciting - is he the heir to something nice?

I'm getting a little confused about the timeline of mine TBH, but I'll plough on with errors included.

...He couldn't possibly have told our father - who had such high hopes for him - about his secret French wife, Catholic and poor to boot. But now alas my brother is dead!

Hmmm.You don't actually think that you are (a) God,CJ?

Ants,yours is remaining tantalisingly unfamiliar...

.....luckily my relationship with her father is much better now we are dead - much better !...

Cj...did you warn him not to eat honey before sunset? And do you not really approve of his best mate?

Yours since hilarious but NI so MCP.

...And now his poor wife is still in France with my tiny nephew. Embarrassingly future-MIL seems to think I am the heir...

Evilphant, I don't know what you're talking about. Sounds good, though - honey before sunset, what happens next?

[hgrin] Liking my new head, most becoming.

Now, you're all getting very over-excited unnecessarily. I'm NOT God, FFS. I'm a very God-fearing laydee who'd be horrified at such pretensions. I am humble and devout. But I know that one day my son will be King.

MCP!

Answer here CJ :o

It does sound pleasantly mysterious doesn't it.

I am picturing you as a french queen in a wimple but I fear I am getting that nasty RL mixed up with good clean fiction again.

...I should have expected it when I set off on my lengthy scientific expedition to Africa, but my Cynthia has given me up! I am heartbroken, even my natural history samples can't cheer me up now...
