What the topic title said :)

~mikeg Thu, Sep 24, 1998 (08:01) #1

I have Killed the "Fabulous Market Babe" topic. Any objections should be sent to the usual address :-) Looks like our favourite little advertiser didn't return, which is a shame. I'm always up for a good haranguing.

~terry Sat, Sep 26, 1998 (15:27) #2

Buh bye babe.

~riette Sun, Sep 27, 1998 (04:32) #3

Your favourite little advertiser played you boys for a fool, Mikey - ha-ha!!! Very amusing!

~KitchenManager Sun, Jul 11, 1999 (12:01) #4

you know, it is almost the middle of July and not a single one of our resident babes has bragged about their tan lines!!! (or, sadly, offered to show them...)

~MarciaH Sun, Jul 11, 1999 (14:01) #5

In the middle of July? Does that make a difference? In Hawaii we have them year round and in just the right places, or no places at all!

~KitchenManager Sun, Jul 11, 1999 (14:39) #6

it's just that in these parts, they are usually very well defined by now...most of the year 'round ones here are fake and icky...

~MarciaH Sun, Jul 11, 1999 (16:44) #7

Not so here. Glorious and golden and uniform, they are Most esthetic. The ladies aren't bad, either! (Fake tans? *shudder*)

~wolf Sun, Jul 11, 1999 (21:36) #8

hey, my farmer tan looks pretty good but not something i'm willing to share with the rest of the world! besides, don't you know you can get skin cancer from over exposure to the sun? (like that stops anyone!!)

~MarciaH Sun, Jul 11, 1999 (22:03) #9

You don't find many locals here basking on the beaches. You catch enough just walking between car and wherever you are going. The sun's rays are so direct here it is hazardous to be uncovered and unprotected, and you do not have to be very old before they start snipping at you. I remain unscathed, fortunately, but it is not due to dumb luck! It is not my aim in life to end up with a face that resembles tree bark!

~wolf Mon, Jul 12, 1999 (12:45) #10

thank you! mine either, i wanna be a foxy grandma! although, while in my pool, i do enjoy catching a few rays.

~MarciaH Mon, Jul 12, 1999 (14:51) #11

Use an appropriate sunblock and you will be just fine! I have no doubt whatsoever that you will achieve that foxy grandma goal. I was hoping to eventually, too, but geriatrics just might set in before my son gets going on his end of the deal.

~wolf Mon, Jul 12, 1999 (22:21) #12

haha!! you ARE a foxy gal anyway!!

~MarciaH Mon, Jul 12, 1999 (22:44) #13

We should rename this the Mutual Admiration Society. Thanks for that. It has been a l o n g day and I am still searching mudslide info in CA. Found all the water data anyone would ever need to know, but nothing about mud. Humbug! (Geo Conference for those lurking.)

~wolf Tue, Jul 13, 1999 (21:03) #14

hmmmm....

~MarciaH Wed, Jul 14, 1999 (01:27) #15

Wolfie, do you think that was obvious enough or shall we post our conferences URLs outright? If you cherish that stuff you are standing on, planet-wise, visit http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/browse/geo/all If you collect anything - anything at all including moss and dust, Wolf can create you a topic - or may have one all ready for you. Please check http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/browse/collecting/all

~autumn Wed, Jul 14, 1999 (19:57) #16

Not much tan here but plenty of freckles!!

~MarciaH Wed, Jul 14, 1999 (20:28) #17

You've been peeking!!!

~KitchenManager Thu, Jul 15, 1999 (02:24) #18

then it must be connect the dots time!!!

~MarciaH Thu, Jul 15, 1999 (02:52) #19

Mine aren't numbered!

~KitchenManager Thu, Jul 15, 1999 (02:54) #20

alphabetized, maybe? or we could just do the free form impromptu thang...

~MarciaH Thu, Jul 15, 1999 (03:01) #21

Ummmmmmm.....=)

~MarciaH Thu, Jul 15, 1999 (03:06) #22

Are you artistic? I'd like to try the impromptu thang...My place or yours?

~KitchenManager Thu, Jul 15, 1999 (03:10) #23

just scan a big patch of your freckles into the spring, and we can each play in the comfort of our own homes...(I'll probably do stuff like pick out constellations...)

~MarciaH Thu, Jul 15, 1999 (03:14) #24

That's what I do. Constellations! You can see Crux from my yard, and the Magellanic Clouds from South Point! But I do not do them on me. And, sorry, but I work directly with the artist! Up close and personal...!

~riette Sat, Jul 17, 1999 (16:34) #25

I don't do that tanning thing. Gives me millions of freckles from head to toe. This looks even more unbablicious when the skin starts peeling like that of an adder, and falling into my soup.

~KitchenManager Sat, Jul 17, 1999 (19:19) #26

*visualizing*

~MarciaH Sat, Jul 17, 1999 (19:22) #27

Oh dear! Nothing like that here!

~KitchenManager Sat, Jul 17, 1999 (20:23) #28

o-kay...

~riette Sun, Jul 18, 1999 (16:22) #29

here ... �handing you a vomiting bucket� Hope that visual wasn't too traumatising. The lucky thing was that you'll never have to witness the reality.

~KitchenManager Sun, Jul 18, 1999 (16:31) #30

oh, sure, strip me of my hope!

~riette Mon, Jul 19, 1999 (04:06) #31

Oh, you little sensationalist, you! Is it not enough for you to read of freak appearances - now you have to witness it too???

~MarciaH Mon, Jul 19, 1999 (11:10) #32

I was under the impression that to qualify for Babe status, we were flawless and not prone to do things average women do - like peel, sag, wrinkle and the like. (Is virtual reality great, or what?!)

~riette Mon, Jul 19, 1999 (16:42) #33

It IS, but unfortunately Terry is in posession of closer evidence, and so, to pretend to be flawless and above average helps me not in the slightest. He knows EVERYTHING!

~KitchenManager Mon, Jul 19, 1999 (23:27) #34

and I still haven't gotten to see it!!! *waa-aah*

~riette Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (02:10) #35

It's okay, REALLY! Keep it that way, or be prepared to go into emergency psychic treatment...

~terry Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (03:41) #36

Yep, Ree is right, I've got the inside scoop. She's a delightful person.

~stacey Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (16:28) #37

and how come you haven't put this on the web cam for all to see??

~KitchenManager Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (17:07) #38

Ree won't let him!!!

~KitchenManager Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (17:09) #39

and whenever Mike's home computer is fixed, I wonder what his reaction will be to what we've done to his conference...

~stacey Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (17:55) #40

??? what have we done??? (should I come in through a browser next time?)

~KitchenManager Tue, Jul 20, 1999 (17:59) #41

no, silly girl!

~riette Wed, Jul 21, 1999 (03:57) #42

I think his conference is doing pretty well! New babes poppin' up all the time!

~MarciaH Wed, Jul 21, 1999 (14:19) #43

New Babes, more classy posters - what could be better. It is just gonna take him a while to wade through all of the intensely adequate stuff...!

~riette Wed, Jul 21, 1999 (16:21) #44

ha-ha, Yeah! But Mike pretty much considers anything to do with peaches adequate!

~stacey Wed, Jul 21, 1999 (16:23) #45

I'm thinking we should plaster the walls with OUR pictures! I think the only ones we're missing are of Wolfie and Autumn... c'mon girls... send em in! (or at least handdrawn renditions!)

~MarciaH Wed, Jul 21, 1999 (19:52) #46

No hand drawn stuff...remember that gorilla??? Hi Mike!

~riette Thu, Jul 22, 1999 (10:22) #47

Hey, who ya callin' a gorilla???

~autumn Thu, Jul 22, 1999 (23:04) #48

Ha-ha!! Actually, I did email a picture to wer a few times but it never "worked." I'd be willing to try again if anyone has a different idea.

~MarciaH Thu, Jul 22, 1999 (23:25) #49

I am confident that I know about a zillionth of that Wer knows, but I am willing to try. I have a couple of options he might not have...Please? I will not post it without your approval.

~autumn Fri, Jul 23, 1999 (00:01) #50

I will give it a try, Marcia! Check your email shortly.

~MarciaH Fri, Jul 23, 1999 (00:48) #51

Everybody go check the newest babe pix in Spring Gallery http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/read/porch/35.205

~riette Fri, Jul 23, 1999 (04:08) #52

OOOOH, GIRL!!! Beatiful, tall, AND thin!!! I hate you!

~autumn Fri, Jul 23, 1999 (11:45) #53

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful!! (LOL! I have always wanted to say that!)

~stacey Fri, Jul 23, 1999 (16:12) #54

*laugh* and we don't!

~riette Fri, Jul 23, 1999 (17:00) #55

Speak for yourself! But I'll find it in my heart to forgive you SOMEHOW, Autumn ... you little .... you ...

~riette Fri, Jul 23, 1999 (17:01) #56

TALL PERSON!

~stacey Fri, Jul 23, 1999 (17:58) #57

*laugh* green is NOT a becoming color on you... oh look! Now you're turning BLUE!

~riette Sat, Jul 24, 1999 (02:51) #58

It's just a phase, really! The next one, purple, should at least suit my hair colour!!

~KitchenManager Sat, Jul 24, 1999 (17:01) #59

and I was the gorilla in reference, Ree...

~riette Sat, Jul 24, 1999 (17:23) #60

You TOO??? �big hug� Oh, thank God we are not all of THEIR kind!

~MarciaH Sat, Jul 24, 1999 (19:46) #61

Yes, Indeed, you were the gorilla *smile*

~riette Sun, Jul 25, 1999 (02:38) #62

�combing the knots out of my face� ugh-hugh!

~autumn Wed, Jul 28, 1999 (12:03) #63

LOL!!!

~wolf Tue, Aug 17, 1999 (22:36) #64

now if anyone here has any knots (i mean mats *ahem*) it would be me. can't seem to keep them out. hmmm....what to do.... and now i am the last to put up my pic. can't you guys wait until i have a good hair day?????

~MarciaH Tue, Aug 17, 1999 (22:52) #65

...excuses...excuses....excuses...*hugs*....I have a bad hair life, why should you be any different?!

~stacey Wed, Aug 18, 1999 (10:28) #66

... waiting...

~MarciaH Wed, Aug 18, 1999 (13:44) #67

This might be a long wait...running back to the Bath to get food and something to drink...taking orders...shall I order something to be brought in?

~stacey Wed, Aug 18, 1999 (14:17) #68

something spicy with bean thread noodles...

~MarciaH Wed, Aug 18, 1999 (15:16) #69

Gotcha! Bean thread noodles sound like what is called "long rice" over here.

~stacey Wed, Aug 18, 1999 (18:06) #70

look like glass noodles??

~MarciaH Wed, Aug 18, 1999 (18:27) #71

What we have is white and stiff little strands when purchased. Soak them and they turn clear and about the diameter of angel hair pasta. It is sort of gelatinous-looking and they are very slippery. No taste to them - they take on the flavor of the sauce or broth into which they are put or soaked. They are served just like that. The first time I made them, the writing on the package was all in oriental characters, so I just had to guess. I had those things draped across three dishes trying to figure ut how to make a serving out of something that would not separate. My Japanese neighbor came over to see what my problem was and about fall down laughing. I learned you cut them into small pieces in the pan in which they were soaked. I use kitchen scissors, now. Does this sound like what you are meaning? I have never seen glass noodles, but if I had to make up a name for these, I would not call them "long rice" - glass noodles would be perfect.

~wolf Wed, Aug 18, 1999 (21:36) #72

sounds like glass noodles to me! love angel hair pasta and use it when i make spaghetti (that's as adventerous as i get on work nights!!)

~MarciaH Wed, Aug 18, 1999 (22:42) #73

It is the only kind I buy, but the house guy found a bargain in pasta and I now have to cook and comsume 10 pounds of the stuff before I get the little stuff back again. It is like eating sash-weights...*bleah*

~MarciaH Wed, Aug 18, 1999 (22:44) #74

(His bargain, I forgot to mention, was thick spaghetti, which I avoid whenever possible)

~mrchips Wed, Aug 18, 1999 (22:51) #75

I was going to be a Pastafarian, but I couldn't figure out which end of the spaghetti to light!

~MarciaH Wed, Aug 18, 1999 (23:08) #76

*lol*

~mrchips Wed, Aug 18, 1999 (23:22) #77

I just backed up and saw Autumn's pic. Yes, another babe!

~MarciaH Wed, Aug 18, 1999 (23:35) #78

John they are all Babes, except for me.

~wolf Thu, Aug 19, 1999 (19:07) #79

you hush your mouth, woman! see, they (including you, dear marcia) are all real babes, not poster children for babe wannabe's!

~MarciaH Thu, Aug 19, 1999 (19:32) #80

Yes, Ma'am! (This is true...one needs some age and intellect to be a real Babe.) He redeemed himself in some obscure place where it would not be seen by idle eyes...*smile*

~terry Sun, Aug 22, 1999 (10:25) #81

Really, we won't have talk like that Marica Babe!

~MarciaH Sun, Aug 22, 1999 (13:44) #82

Thank you Terry! I am happy to change my view on the entire subject, and if I qualify in one person's oninion, I should be the last to discourage that. I guess I am still so new to Babedom that it sometimes overwhelms me - happily, I might add. I hear and obey...

~Gregory Mon, Oct 9, 2000 (17:00) #83

Mikeg, When I load the Babes page it dosen't showe the logo or the two pictures anymore. What do I need to do. Thanks, Greg Kenkel

~MarciaH Mon, Oct 9, 2000 (19:22) #84

Alas, Greg, Mike has been missing for a while but just may hear your plea for help. I see only pictures down the left side of the page..no logo...at least in the topics. Let me go look at the title page. Hmmm... be right back....

~MarciaH Mon, Oct 9, 2000 (19:25) #85

I get the same absence of images too. It is not you, it is systemic, apparently. Relax and wander around - there must be other goodies for your eyes around Spring. As a last resort you could check out my conference (yeah, I know...*sigh*)

~Gregory Tue, Oct 10, 2000 (17:41) #86

Thanks Marcia, I have checked out your conference. I keep up to date on the babe conference and others.

~wolf Tue, Oct 10, 2000 (18:24) #87

i don't get the logo's either. marcia, we could replace them with our pics! *grin*

~MarciaH Tue, Oct 10, 2000 (19:05) #88

Oooh, Greg, what an idea....! The complete photo banner on the "front page" of this conference is missing and has those nasty little pink and blue boxes (known to the geeks as "where a picture should be" thingies) The logo is part of the banner and it all appears to be missing. Let me check with my limited talent ad Geo's mistress and html programmer (goofs and all). (Thanks for checking Geo! I know you check a few others *smile* - it is good to have you around!) brb... checking the config files....

~MarciaH Tue, Oct 10, 2000 (19:12) #89

I checked and I do not have the clearance to change this conference. Only Terry is still active though others with the enablement to correct the problem are around Let me email Terry and ask him to fix it. As close as I can tell, mikeg changed his hard drive files and the banner ones did not come with the side table ladies (wallpaper). Let's see if Terry can put a provocative image of you up with a lady to accompany you. You just hAVE to be a babe! Why not you?! Send image to my email (see link MarciaH - it works!) Thanks for calling it to my attention. *hugs* (we are friendly in Hawaii)

~wolf Tue, Oct 10, 2000 (20:25) #90

marcia, that's what i figgered happened-the move from the old servers to this new one. remember how we had to move our files around to get them to show back up?

~MarciaH Wed, Oct 11, 2000 (15:03) #91

Yup, I'm prety sure you are right, but I recall seeing them since then...but could very well be mistaken...*sigh* Whatever has happened, it is not on Greg's end of the cyber-world, thankfullly!

~wolf Wed, Oct 11, 2000 (21:58) #92

we need to get mikeg back over here!

~mikeg Fri, Nov 24, 2000 (09:14) #93

I have returned. I will fix the main page when I return home in a week or two.

~MarciaH Fri, Nov 24, 2000 (12:38) #94

Yay!! Welcome home, Mike. We missed you!

~autumn Fri, Nov 24, 2000 (17:04) #95

Yay, Mikie's back!!!!

~wolf Mon, Nov 27, 2000 (21:31) #96

*WOOHOO*

~mikeg Sat, Dec 2, 2000 (05:09) #97

Sorry I've been out of touch for a few days. Flew back from Tokyo on Wednesday and this is my first real down-time since. For some reason my work computer won't let me in to The Spring...*sigh* Have to work that one out. It always used to :-) Anyway, I intend to spend a good part of the weekend trawling for great pics of our favourite girls :-) Got to find some new ones as well...always a lovely surprise to find someone new :-)

~MarciaH Sun, Dec 3, 2000 (20:02) #98

Mike!!! Why did you not at elast wave as you overflew the islands on you way back?! Welcome back to Spring. I am delighted to see some renewed energy in here and some healthy lusting. Always ready to aid and abet. Let me know if I can be of assistance. *Hugs*

~mikeg Wed, Dec 6, 2000 (18:34) #99

Don't think I would have flown over Hawaii. It's a direct flight east over Russia. Siberia looks good from 40,000ft :-)

~MarciaH Thu, Dec 7, 2000 (01:10) #100

Yeah that is how we flew to Britain - polar route. It was crystal clear all the way and flew over northern Canada, Greenland and finally Iceland then down over Ireland. It was amazing from 7 miles up to see my first ice bergs and glaciers. I looked and looked for signs of volcanic activity over iceland but saw nothing. It was odd - daylight the entire trip - two days and no night!!!
