BerrySmoothie: I could do with a handyman myself.....whose handy with his hands....
Yeah, well I missed U.....as did others on here.....
Agree on the "shaving that fuzz" off H....you don't want to frighten any kiddies or old ladies.....
This place has seen lots of changes, just in the time I've been on here, most.....not great. We've lost a lot of regulars unfortunately. Some die-hards like me hang around in the hope things will improve again.
I hope you had a lovely Xmas and all is well with you too.
Crimbo was good, just me and the dog and both cats, nobody else. I did talk to a few peeps on the phone, so I wasn't without some human interaction. Although, I think I did eat too much, despite the dog and cats wanting to taste test everything I made to make sure I wasn't too stuffed.
I missed some people here, you, Kaybee and a few others that don't seem to be here anymore, and the fun that was had in the threads. I don't see a lot of that vibe here from my last visit, or tonight either, and I dunno if me being here will change anything.
As for "handy", well, not tooting my own horn, but I am highly skilled in many things.

BerrySmoothie: Love the makeshift Christmas tree....typical blokie thing to do....
It's something I've wanted to do for years, even before I had cats. It just seems so practical and Maddy loves climbing ladders anyway, so I figured seeing as there's nobody stopping me, I'd do it.
The decline in participation in the forums started many years ago, for a number of reasons, but I never thought things would get this quiet. I was surprised when I popped in last week and saw how few posts there were in a day, or week, especially on the IE, Can., EU, and Aussie forums. Sad, considering how good it once was, but like all good things, it comes to an end.
Maybe this is it.
I'm hesitant to re-read some threads I looked at prior, but I might.

The ladder....ingenious improvisation.....
I have my own theories as to the current state of the forums.
People like yourself who stimulated debate and banter went AWOL....
