BATCAVE 2: NEW BOARD, SAME OLD BATS

Is this a gnu gnu cave or the old gnu cave or the gnu old cave?

 I's confuzzled agin.

And Corny, I's prolly going to find your lost poundage and sizes if'n I keeps eating like I have the last 2 days.

Oh, and didja know that when they starts a gnu cave, youse has to add it to yer unfavorites all over agin? Mebbe they stink we won't like it anymores since it's shiny and gnu?

And whar'd the old cave go? Don't know what I didn't miss.

Jeez, that was fast changing our cave out.

I'm trying a new riskapee with chicken and noodles and other things and it's good. Now I don't know how healthy it is as it calls for sour cream and butter but I did use boneless/skinless chikin so maybe that counts?

Boredom now needs to be the gnu caveword for geeking out. 

I do NOT like this gnu eharl site setup. Slow loading, loads of crap nobatty needs, hard to navigate, and hard to read.

I'm bettin' they're losing customers because of it.

Slosh 

I'm getting tarred of me, too, Guanna. Want a body double with a gnu
head to match. Moaning left at 1 pee em today so I's alone for the
first time for good, not jest a few hours. Oddly enuff, it doesn't seem
so appealing as it used to. I put on a tape of ch and me when we wuz
together on a talk show here called The Ray Martin Show. I jest needed
to see him. (ch not RM). This deal sucks pondwater.

Now I've depressed everybatty, I's guano find the rum.

Went fwapping about in a panic when the cave had gone from my favourites. I can't find a durn thing in this new set up (not cavespeak) I was looking for somebodys new sales thread the other day and no clue as to which orange envelope it might be in. I hate not being able to see whats where without clicking on a milion things. This sucks mightily and it's just not fun to come on the boards anymore.

Knell feeling *issy and uncaffienated

No skypes or microphones for this untechie bat, Guanna. I've IMed you instead. So sue me. (NYSSM)

Missmell, I've never seen a reckoning of the calories and fat in the bones. I always use boneless meat myself, unless the little fish bones don't come out they way they should.

You can get very very good fat free sour cream. It is in a cow-patterned package. I think it's a national brand.

Off to work, now that Dizzy is finally staying in bed and I finally wrote a page for V's remembrance book.  I couldn't think of a thing with a deadline looming over me.  Figures. 

IM answered.

I just finished writing an email to one of my publishers pitching a bunch of projects, including a sequel to Yo Meow Ma. Toes crossed that she finds something interesting in the list I sent.

You innit truly alone, V. CH is twinkling at youse from his star, and as long as you remember him, he's not gone: he's in your heart.

Yeah, it's a sucky consolation prize when all you wants is him back, huh?

Batty for youse, youse also has a cave filled with lots of fwapping wings and at least one bat that comes equipped with gnu and deproved 3-ply bat fur.

In udder gnus, TM is sick. We's fwappin' to the quack's office this moaning. Tried to look in his throat yesterday and couldn't see his throat thru his tonsils.

~LuridsnifflingBat

Condolences to the oxymormons, the gnus jest said the head of the oxymormon church passed. 

Now I's off to shurk, even tho I don't wanna.  Still, I stink my face looks a bit skinnier this moaning, and that don't cheer me up a bit.  So despite the mistimed cramps (I blame you, Goo, YYG!) I's guano to shurk and guano pretend I wanna.  Sigh.

I think it's great that you have a video of Paul to watch. Wish I had one of my dad. But he visits me in dreams from time to time. Hang in there, Batsie. You won't ever stop missing him, but the pain gets less acute over time. Somebody told me yesterday that when you lose your parents, you've lost your past. When you lose a child, you've lost your future. But when you lose your spouse, you've lost everything. I suspect that's true. Because they are everything to you once the kids are grown (or if, in your case, you don't have kids.) Eventually you have to build a whole new life, which is a daunting thought while you're grieving.

My customer's advice? Find something to fill your days. Something to keep your mind and body occupied. Cry yourself to sleep, and get up and do it all over again. At some point you stop crying yourself to sleep every night, though you never stop wishing they were still there.

Maybe volunteer extra time at the zoo? Get busy on a new book. The emotion you're feeling will translate to an emotionally charged story. Learn a new hobby. Join a grief support group, maybe.

Whatever you do or don't do, we're still here, wings fwapping and shoulders supportive.

Sapphire, I think it's going to take a lot more than time. The gnu site sux. Can't find nuthin', don't see nuthin' werth hunting for. Now, offer us all contracts fer our books and we might git motivated to look around more.

Poisonally, I want to talk to you bats enough that I'd put up with something worser if I had to. So there.

Unfortunately, having to post, then seeing something I forgot to respond to, then edit, then post, then edit, etc, is old too.

This oxymormon depreciates the condolences.  The president of our church was one of the most amazing people ever, and he will be missed.  I just heard about it on the radio when I was driving home from skool bus duty.  Very sad.  I guess they kept his illness quiet, kind of like the president of a country.  That way when he passed, it was private with his family.

(((((((Gnu Site Haters)))))))) Jes like my MIL, I've larned to accept and deal with what I cannot kill. Although I might dream of personal mayhem, I plod on...

 And as a reeeward for my continue plodding in the face of missouri, I dint get my job wif dream company. Maternity leave lady changed her mind and decided to come back to werk. I dunno why... 6 week home with gnu kid mighta been a real experience.  Gnus Flash:  Kids is hexpensive. *insert eye-punch icon here*  Jes cuz I'm sulking.

Lifetouch needs PC's....

I'z SOOO not taking the blame for youse misplaced cramps, Aimless!  Cuz if'n they were MY fault, *I* wouldn't be dealing wif them.  And I am.  So ner.

Throat is scratchy, nose is running, generally feeling like shirt.  All's well in the Goo Cave.

In udder gnus, we have a strange creature inhabiting the walls at our house.  We were under the belief that it was a bat, but then we heard it actually walking across the celing.  So, not a bat.  BH broke out the heavy arsenal and set up rat poison, rat traps and various other catch-the-batstard type thingies.  Said creature is avoiding all luring tactics and taking evasive maneuvers.  I heard the thing again last night and it was sqeaking forever and ever, so I've now deterimined that it HAS to be a mouse.  Thus BH's defensive tactics are on to grand a scale so even if Mr. Mouse is in the traps, they probably won't trigger.  Am sending him back up there tonight (in between Cub Scout pack meeting, dinner, and family fun night at skool) to rethink his game plan.  

~Goo who hates her flocking OLD house. 

Cranks for the condolences for us oxymormon bats.  I'm verra sad, though I know Pres. Hinckley was probably verra tired at 97, and I'm sure he missed his wife. 

He was great -- such an amazing man.  He had a fantastic sense of humor and so much compassion and energy.  He will be sorely missed.  We always like the next-in-line, but you sometimes wind up connecting with one just  a little more.

Snowed like crazy up here last night. Hadda go into 4 wheel drive
jest to get caffeinated this moaning. But, I'ze back and Blabbermouth
gave up on her strike so I'll try rioting again.

And Satire? It's
not a matter of timing. This gnu site format bites the big one.
Probably the most user UN-friendly site I've ever been to. We don't
need a list of *friends* replete with avatars ... we already know who our friends are ... and a detailed description
of what our *friends* have been doing for the past week. We don't need
blogs and favorites or a list of recent posts. Those things just make it slow to load.

What we need ...
what we want ... is a site that works. One you don't have to scroll
through, that has post numbers, that we can actually read, where we can
find our way around.

Sort of like the OLD site. Is that too much to ask for?

I know it's not your fault, too, and sorry for everyone jumping
on your case, but how about tyring to convince the *powers that be*
that they made a horrible mistake and just go back to what worked?

Slosh

Oh, and did I forget to mention profiles and bios? If we wanted junk like that, we could all join MySpace.

Slosh 

I hear ya, knell. This darn weather isn't set to break until at least next week. That means walking is a teeth-gritting experience. So much fun. Oh well, at least I have ibruprofen and vicodin. Went to the pharmacy today for refills. I feel so much calmer now that I have pain meds again.

As for the site, it doesn't bother me anymore. Once they solved that new post thing, I'm fine with it. I bookmarked "Social Discussions" page, so I go straight there (and click twice if it tries to divert me to my profile). Click on the little red number and it takes me right to the start of new posts. No scrolling necessary.

I only read the Bat Cave so it's easy for me.

Hey, I clicked on new and low and behold, I went right to the newest post.  Satire somebatty did somethin riot.  That's jest wrong.

Cranks for the condolences.  Pres Hinkley was a great man.  Verra funny.  He lived long and prospered.  

It snowed up the yingyang last night.  Aktually, we only got about an inch, but where I work has about 8.  I nearly got stuck, but I took my time and got unstopped.  But I had to park at the bottom of the hill.  And, I have snow tires!!  It's snowing again.  And, supposed to snow tonight.  Tomorrow should be interesting.  If I don't get here, I don't get paid, soooooo come heck or hi snow, I'll be at werk.

I shuda just asked my boss about the software.  They do own a computer company. Duhhhhhhh!  Guess, I won't have an empty puter when it gets here.  Got Orific Prof, Webster, Photoshop and Dreamweaver all ready to load.  I might spload afore it gits here tho!

Poor Knell's hip. Not hugging it, tho. You'll jest hafta be happy I'm throwing guanoballs at youse.

Lessee... I still have to scroll down to find the gnu messages, and advance thru the additional pages to get to the gnuest page and post. Don't like that much. I don't, however, get taken all the way back to the first post whenever I post. I can deal.

I imagine it's tough trying to keep up with the times and the demands of the younger demographic, and still manage to keep the ol' fogeys (yes, I is calling meself an old fogey) happy.  You can please some of the people some of the time, but you cain't please the bats unless we's in the mood fer it.
