Yes, at least that's what it says on all my official documents, though someone could be lying. Will go look for my birth certificate. Haven't seen those little footprints in a long time. ;-)

Nan is a tiny little bit too extreme for a true Saggitarius, but only just - by about an hour or so... ;-)

Thank you, Gi. Yeah, Rebecca is gorgeous. Re: the spoiled part, a, too late. When one is a single mom, one must overcompensate. (I wear two hats, mommy and daddy.) Rebecca is a very precocious 8 year old going on 15!;) And she is a true and tried Scorpio and mix that with my Aries, oh boy! Nan, if you want to be a Scorpian, then be one;) Saggitarius are pretty cool, too!

Nan, Scorpians are supposed to be intensely sexual people. Maybe that's what dominating your Saggitarius sign. (Or blocking it out all together) ;-)))

Scorpios rule! (Moon)Scorpians are supposed to be intensely sexual people *Blushing* well, that explains alot about Fan Fic ;-) LOL about those e-mail addresses!

Everyone is so anxious to get to shore on 72 that even the cats and mice are into open rebellion. Too long at sea!

Marcia, where DO you find these;) They are adorable!

I hesitate to mention that all I had to do was start a search engine and type in search for: animated gifs. Up popped more than a life-time's assortment of websites, each with hundreds of good and bad examples free for the taking. Ecard sites are also good for opening flowers, waving flags, hearts, animals and fireworks all moving and doing their things.

(Arami) Nan is a tiny little bit too extreme for a true Saggitarius, but only just - by about an hour or so... ;-) Uncanny! "By about an hour or so..." were almost the exact words my astrologists used. ;-) (Laura) Nan, if you want to be a Scorpian, then be one;) Saggitarius are pretty cool, too! Scorpio...Saggitarius--doesn't really matter to me. I just got tired of not knowing which horoscope to read (or believe) so I finally had some "experts" figure it out. I suppose all three could be wrong, but that isn't likely. In truth, I prefer the Chinese Horoscope. There is something compelling about being a snake, shedding one's skin every so often ;-) (Moon Dreams) Nan, Scorpians are supposed to be intensely sexual people. Maybe that's what dominating your Saggitarius sign. (Or blocking it out all together) ;-))) Yes, well we won't go there ;-p

Moon Dreams) Nan, Scorpians are supposed to be intensely sexual people. Maybe that's what dominating your Saggitarius sign. (Or blocking it out all together) ;-))) (Nan)Yes, well we won't go there ;-p Hee hee, I suspect we'd get quite a history? I mean Astrological history;)

Well....we have heard about the Hockey Players...;)

(Marcia) Well....we have heard about the Hockey Players...;) Oy, I should be so lucky ;-)~~~

Ok, as I said, I'd be very pleased to have you a Scorpio, so on everybody else's say-so, I'll agree you are! :-) Anyway, I don't believe in any of that... I believe in people, not in horoscopes...

(Gi)I believe in people, not in horoscopes Honestly loved to read somebody say it....and who else could put it as nicely as you, Gi.

SusanC, Claim your keepsake from MLSF!!! you really know what is available. Did he wear a sporran with his kilt?

(Gi) Ok, as I said, I'd be very pleased to have you a Scorpio, so on everybody else's say-so, I'll agree you are! :-) I'm still not sure what all this Scorpio talk is. Will someone please explain?

Marcia, you forgot the fanfic list :)

and to close the tags.... (hee hee) can i do it?

apparently not :P

You did, EssBee. The tags are closed.

Ladies, I do not know what happened, all of my tags I just checked again and they are all closed. But everything is in Italics here, but having learned my lesson yesterday I shall do nothing. EsBee, Thank you for the correction. I thought it was a duplicate at a glance so I deleted it at the last moment.

Speaking of Scenes from Fan Fiction, EsBee Dear, I hope you were writing in the Snow at Tahoe while you were gone. Your fans are waiting...;)

Do I give the best cyber hand slapping or what?! ;-D

Oh Dear... I fear I must confess that I've been abominably lazy this past week. (and the week before, and the week before that, and...) I have several stories started, but none completed. I will try to apply myself this week -I promise! :)

(SB)I have several stories started I am all eagerness...I love your stories.

EsBee, your editor is getting antsy, too =)

This weekend I SHALL write - I promise! Actually, having just read the postings over at 112, I'm having lovely little visuals of Darcy on his mount (stop snickering! I meant horse!) and shall doubtless spend the day toying with story ideas, springing from that image. Perhaps it's time for Darcy to take Elizabeth out riding a warm spring day, so that he might enjoy certain parts of her antomy jiggling in their natural state. ;) Then again... I really should finish the stories I have half done already....

But, EsBee Dear, you wrote that he made mental note to take her out riding the first warm spring day as he admired the jiggling mounds so temptingly close to his...whatever...?! But, the starving multitudes of your fans will be happy with anything you write. Brushes at the ready...Go to it! Paint us another droolworthy episode in the lustful life of Lizzie =)

Marcia dear, I need a bit of help. I'm having the worse time coming up with a suitable nickname for Elizabeth to call Darcy. Could you be persuaded to start a list of nickname ideas, so that I can benefit from the creative genius of our little group here? Do you think the idea has any merit? BTW -sending off Darcy Gets His Toes Kissed for your editing pleasure tonight. :)

That will probably get rid of her headache faster than an aspirin. ;-)

Karen, are you the one who suggested I write Darcy Gets His Toes Kissed? Somebody did, and I want to put in a nice little Thank You when I post it at 34. -I really need to learn to write these things down...

That is a headache remover if ever there was one. But...but...I keep clicking on my "check mail" and it keeps coming up empty....sniffle...Owww!!! Good idea for new list Lizzie's List of Pet Names for Darcy

Always a great believer in equal employment opportunity, SBR!

Lizzie's List of Pet Names for Darcy Hmmmm...."Slick Willie?" No, no, that's taken! Not to mention Darcy's far from "slick"

(Eileen)Lizzie's List of Pet Names for Darcy Hmmmm...."Slick Willie?" No, no, that's taken! LOL! Besides, Lizzie kneels to no one! =D Thanks tyo AnneH's sharp eyes I am able to report that the codpiece lives.Oh Joy!!! Check the photos on http://members.xoom.com/firth_place/sil_pics.html

"Slick Willie?" ACK! and ACK! again. Now there's a 'fanfic' topic I wouldnt touch with a ten foot pole. *repulsed shivers* I am warning everyone though, that if you dont make suggestions, Darcy's pet name will likely be something riduclously silly. -Darcy Fartcy? No, No! that won't do at all! must think harder....

Ohhhhhhhh, now I see it. I missed it the other night (was looking for it in the bottom right pic, not bottom left. I confess I was looking at other things in that particular pic). Enjoy, SBR!

Whoops, that should be Marcia. What, you don't like my suggestion, SBR? heeheehee Darcy gives Lizzy a gift of a book...

(*Thinking*....)Biblical: Thy Rod and Thy Staff comforteth me.... Cinematic: The High and the Mighty.... Nursery Rhymes: Ride a Cock Horse... EsBee, what did you have in mind? Something for the Drawing room or something just between them ? =D

Ok, Nan's is His INCROYABLE

Glad to see the dickscussion in full swing again (left-right-left-right...) ;-D

Yes, Arami, we got off to a good start, but it seems to have dried up lately. (Sounds most painful for all parties involved.)

BTW, tomorrow I shall be missing. I am to help officiate at a Charity Golf Tournament. More scholarship funding for local students!

Arami dear, can you not be persauded to suggest a pet name for Elizabeth to call Darcy? I fear I am throughly lacking of talent in the name giving area -and all of my efforts are ridculous in the extreme. Marcia- Have fun at the golf tournament! :) Being of Scottish decent I should never deride the amusement, but I must wonder why on earth grown men would wish to chase a wee ball around with a stick -Espically when, with a bit of practice, they could be performing in tournaments that involved jousts, and sword fights. *sigh* ok- putting away the midevil romance novel and going back to work....

(crawling on hands and knees...dragging myself over jagged lava...) what do I have to do to get you to post your story? It is most needed! Anybody who is loathe to part with 1/2 pencil with point so miserable it is all but unusable, (I tried to collect their scoring pencils unsuccessfully one year)is different from the sailors (me) in the population. I will never understand whomping a little ball and chasing it when you could hike somewhere else and see Lava fountaining.

Congratulations to Australia on winning the World Cup of Cricket. My sympathies to Pakistan, who they had to best to win the Cup! And, my heart goes out to those wives whose husbands are sitll mourning the loss.

Keep massaging it, Marcia, it'll be all right... ;-) And dear SBR, presumably we're talking period? Like 200 years ago? In that case nicknames as terms of endearment weren't very common, unlike today. I'm afraid you will have to use your imagination - with a touch of poetic licence perhaps, and a measure of discretion.

I do regularly, but it will never be as big as yours, my dear ;)

It's those little glassy shards which imbed themselves in your knees... Is it likely, with those little intimate names, that no one outside the bonds of matrimony truly knows what they called precious parts of each other? EsBee, free license to create. But, always, as Arami says, with a measure of discretion!

LOL! And how do you know how big mine might be? ;-D

Your heart? Shall I give away all of your secrets?!

LOL! Good try - people might think you really know my secrets... But this one is no secret, alas: the size of my... you're right, it's MEGA! ;-)

I knew that!!! =)) I know no secrets. It is a dangerous habit to pry where one does not belong. Anything I do know - it's *my* secret ;)

BTW, all you Royal watchers, You already know that tomorrow our fair shores will be graces by HRH the Prince Andrew, Duke or York.

New List Titles Bestowed Upon Firthians Marchioness of Middle Earth, Karen Duchess of Jutland, EsBee Marcianess of Stonehenge sans Druids

Titles Bestowed Upon Firthians Marchioness of Middle Earth, Karen Duchess of Jutland, EsBee Marcianess of Stonehenge sans Druids Erstwhile QE II , bethan Duchess of Darcy, Rita Prairie Princess, Stacey Princess of Asturias, Lidya Earl Of Wessex, Colin Firth Dame Winter of that Ilk, winter

Does "saint" Susan count, or do we give her another one? :-)

Why is Lidya Princess of Asturias (a bona fide title, the Prince of Asturias is the Spanish Heir, Prince Philip)?

Until Lidya can answer for herself, she told me she rather fancies him. However I shall encourage her to choose another title which is entirely fictious Oh yes, Saint Susan is good. How about thee? .....adding Susan and her sainthood. She may choose another if she wishes or have one bestowed...St Susan the Navigator?

Mistress of Pemberley, Lidya

Gi: Why is Lidya Princess of Asturias (a bona fide title, the Prince of Asturias is the Spanish Heir, Prince Philip)? I think he's gorgeous, and since he's not married yet, there is no Princess of Asturias. I had an aunt in Spain, and when I was a child she used to joke with me telling me he was waiting for me. But, in any case, I have thought of a better one!

I challenge Lydia for the title "Mistress of Pemberley" in Lizzie's name. I'm sorry, I don't think anyone has the right to that one except Lizzie, and am most unhappy at the way this list is going :-( Please take notice that I ask no title for myself. It just does not seem right to me. Any other opinions?

Lidya has requested that she be removed from the list. I shall do so forthwith. Perhaps this is one of my worst-copnceived lists. I should go out of the business.

(Marcia) I should go out of the business. ACK! Bite your tongue woman! It's just that there were no ground rules laid out -so things could easily become jumbled; and so it appears they have.

(ACK! Suddnely I feel like I am in a Mickey Rooney-Judy Garland Movie) Let's make a list of ground rules for Honorary titles. 1. They may not belong to real people or future real people. 2. It is best if they pertain to fictional places (excpting Stonehenge, of course) 3. They must not offend anyone's sensitivities (we may never get this off the drawing board) 4. They must be...um..."couth" as opposed to uncouth.

4. They must be...um..."couth" as opposed to uncouth. Please define further. ;-)

Couth = polished; sophisticated. And, as we are in here as Firthians firthst and foremmost, said title should allude to something having to do with him; the pursuit of knowledge about him, close encounters, etc - but "tastefuly." Does this take all the fun out of it?

(Marcia) said title should allude to something having to do with him; the pursuit of knowledge about him, close encounters, etc I shall be more than happy to oblige Colin with a tour of Jutland, at his earlist possible convience. ;)

EsBee, You are most kind. I am sure the Wessex's were familiar with the most famous antiquity in all of the British Isles, Stonehenge. Having grown up in the southern counties, I am sure Colin himself has been there, too. My Danish ancestors came from your tertritories - most probably your vassals and varlets and churls ;D

I could opt for the Kahuna of Kilauea, but I do not want my home overrun by lava nor do I want to offend the native Hawaiian population who outsize me by many inches tall and many pounds heavy. It has that FF connection, though.

Just so long as you don't ask for the Big Kahuna. That will be Cliff Robertson forever in my mind!! ;-D

...just as there is only one Moondoggie! ;-D

LOL, Karen, Gidget I am not and, alas, never have been.

I want Joe's sweater...the one he's wearing when he proposes.

checking the lists...You have started a new one. Keepsakes from Femme Fatale Joe's sweater...the one he's wearing when he proposes, JKArt There is aready a list of places in films you would like to replace the actress. Arami has the "vertical shag in front of the frozen peas"

...but that isn't a shag...?!? Can I have the one in the bed, then?!?!?

She didn't specify peas...she's already got it...and I've got my WoF kiss. Must generously decline. (But if we can have one from other movies too, then I'll take the peas, please!!!! 8-D).

You can have one from each movie...I'm gonna leave you this one - it is different from hers.

Arami would have my head and yours and my Title of Chief Keeptress if I let you have the peas - there is a long discussion about it back aways in 72. Hers is definitely the peas!

There are no peas in that scene. Can't you see the orange juice in the case? ;-D

Maybe not orange juice...but at least beverages. OK, that's the ticket.

...and no peas in the Bedroom, but ever since we first discussed this vertical shag...someone suggested it was among the frozen peas, and it took on a life of its own. That is Arami's is it not? Surely, there are not two verticals in there...?!

(You cannot imagine what this warping between Upper Spring where dwells the couth and polished ladies and mid-Spring where I am carving a niche with Geo and keeping it strictly lofty in purpose and posting. Then there is The Spring...whose depths I have yet to plumb. I am trying to stay afloat there and it is proving to be a most entertaining exercise. (we should have moved the Spam discussion down there, but it would not have ended up being half so funny if we had. 'Tis tricky to talk loftily about S am, but I think we did it!)

(KJArt)...Can I have the one(shag) in the bed, then?!?!? Grabby, Grabby...(pun intended) :-D

*lol* I had forgotten how much fun it is up here in the lofties. Grabby?! Aren't we all! Please check my hard work out and critique is welcome from any of you, I have never worked so hard at anything in my life on a purely intellectual level. What an experience! Thanks! http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/browse/geo/all

Will see what new things you've done. But important update first: Have rewatched FF. He proposes in front of the refrigerated beer case. She starts dancing in front of the OJ. There is only one vertical shag in FF and it's in the bed with beads of sweat dripping down their faces. :)

Thanks Karen. Shall it be pistols at dawn? I am sure Arami mentioned the frozen foods and it is nothing like the one in the bedroom...but...I shall await further developments...

WOW..Marcia...am I impressed. Now don't go getting too academic... Come back to "Shag-Country " on #113 every now and then...:-)

All shagging aside ;-), Joe does kiss Cynthia twice in the grocery store--the first is after "who are you calling a tart" and later after "you have to marry me." If it's within these ever-more-complicated rules, sign me up for the first one! Yowza!

The tart kiss! Good choice, Eileen. ;-D

or should I have said you have "good taste"? ;-D

Eileen's "tart" kiss in now on the list of scenes you would have liked to be the object of his affection. That was indeed, good taste. Ummmmm! Thanks for the kind words Evelyn. My heart and home is here in drool, but when I was offered a Conference of my very own (and terrified to say yes - I had turned down a topic for fear of messing up in front of God and Everyone)...and wer's most patient and expert help...there I am. Every day, when I boot Geo/all, I hold my breath lest it has been just a lovely dream.

(Karen)..The tart kiss! Good choice, Eileen. ;-D Yummmmmmm.

The tart kiss! Good choice, Eileen. ;-D Am off to buy some apples. *Virtually puckering up now* (Marcia) ...terrified to say yes - I had turned down a topic for fear of messing up in front of God and Everyone Don't sell yourself short! BTW, perhaps Karen will lend you her 'Marchioness [Marcianess] of Middle Earth' title! Don't remember--is there a board for 'Druids and other tree worshipers'??

Couldn't get online until now. There is only one shag in that movie and it's in bed. According to that first list you posted, Arami had "the vertical shag from FF", ergo, Arami should have it. But now all sorts of clouds of detail are obscuring both the original requests and subsequent ones. Tell you what: The two scenes I was talking about were: a) the vertical shag in bed and b) the proposal dance in front of the freezer...(I couldn't care less what the contents of said freezer are...)(Frozen peas was just a figure of sp ech...)(Karen's, I think...) Since some question has been raised, I would suggest we go to the horse's mouth and find out what she MEANT, and then when that is cleared up, I will take the other one...(And, C'mon guys...first dibs!!!) 8-D
