A new thread for all us friendly Dec ladies

We sit and we type,
And we stare at our screens;
We all have to wonder
What this possibly means.
With our mouse we roam,
Through the rooms in a maze;
Looking for something or someone,
As we sit in a daze.
We chat with each other;
We type all our woes;
Small groups we do form,
And gang up on our foes.
We wait for somebody
To type out our name;
We want recognition,
But it is always the same.
We give kisses and hugs,
And sometimes flirt;
In PMs (IMs) we chat deeply,
And reveal why we hurt.
We do form friendships -
Yet why, we don't know;
But some of these friendships
Will flourish and grow.
Why is it on screen,
We can be so bold?
Telling our secrets
That have never been told.
Why is it we share
The thoughts in our mind
With those we can't see,
As though we were blind?
The answer is simple;
It's as clear as a bell.
We all have our problems
And need someone to tell.
We can't tell real people,
But tell someone we must;
So we turn to the computer,
And to those we can trust.
Even though it is crazy,
The truth still remains:
There are Friends Without Faces,
With odd little names.

ninah · 11/10/2005 17:14

whoops sorry dq! I can never resist guessing
Nemo to update you nothing has happened, we didn't have the talk on Sunday, he first of all tried to put it off til Monday then said he wanted a 3rd party present, I agreed made some suggestions, he went out last night as I got in but as I emailed sh he did ask quite politely for his secateurs?! this morning lol so quite a breakthrough.

ninah · 11/10/2005 17:15

NEMO GO AND COOK YOUR CURRY!!!!! I am getting hungy just thinking about it, go on!

Nemo666 · 11/10/2005 17:16

ninah what is it with men...I did read the thread after I had asked yesterday but just wondered if he had moved on at all..

ei23monster · 11/10/2005 17:16

haha im still bein a bit of a wimp when it comes to baking things (like your brownies DQ!!) iv gone as far as buying eggs and caster sugar so only all the rest of the ingredients to go and ill be on my way to domestic-goddess-dom!! im cheatin a bit aswell cos my mums comin to help me make the pie but shes as clueless as me so i think all shell help to make is a big mess!! hehe

dramaqueen72 · 11/10/2005 17:19

whats he want with secateurs????????? and whats he say to relate or similar? grrrrrrrrrr, to stupid men. grrrrrrrr.
nemo go and make your curry love, the longer they sit between making and eating the better they taste you know......

ninah · 11/10/2005 17:20

um well no unless you count the secateurs episode as a conversation, they were the first civil words spoken for a month! Nice to know he's looking after his shrubbery lol
EI I am such a bad cook, since p and I not getting on, and as ds gets fed at nursery I have been delighting in non domesticity. DS had a Thai ready meal for his Sunday lunch I think I need to get some basics back though as it didn't really agree with him ...

dramaqueen72 · 11/10/2005 17:20

ei if you have a food processor I can give you fool proof recipes that will have everyone convinced your domestic goddess of the highest order. i think i learnt to cook by learning three dishes and varying them. LOL.

Nemo666 · 11/10/2005 17:21

lol DQ i know but i think Adam may want his soon...even if we dont eat until 8.30pm ish...not adam of course he usually eats around 6..just got nooooo motivation which is verified by the ton of washing sitting in the basket..lol

ninah · 11/10/2005 17:22

to relate suggestion, which was made by email, there came resounding silence. He wanted secateurs to prune the window box in what's now called 'my' room. Unfortunately early this morning I could not remember what on earth secateurs were. He seemed less angry though. Maybe he has a dastardly plan .. given up trying to figure it out and getting on with my own life

Nemo666 · 11/10/2005 17:23

ok ninah i must have a very dirty mind I would have told him to pee off or I would look after his personal shrubs..lol

ninah · 11/10/2005 17:24

fool proof recipes? are you SURE? can you email me too dq if I cat you? gotta go now get ds but will cat you soon if that's OK!

ninah · 11/10/2005 17:25

Nemo666 · 11/10/2005 17:26

ninah · 11/10/2005 17:26

Night night all, god bless xx

ei23monster · 11/10/2005 17:27
