Well, I don't know. We do have entry requirements. Oh, all right, you can have a few of my years, and a couple of creaks. If you want more, you'll have to ask one of the others, this is all I can spare. When I grow up, I want to be a grumpy old man. There are standards to uphold if you want to do that job properly, and I am totally dedicated. This is my destiny, it always has been.

*ouch* Hope you're feeling better without those creaks, Gromit, 'cos the price of my admission has cost me my knee joints. Hard to uphold your standards on these legs, but I'll try.

I have PHD in Curmudgeonology. Would like a muffin? I think I scared the last one that knocked on the door with, Hello There Sailor.

Survived? I did? WAHOOO!! I did something right, err, or is that a bad thing?

Ten pages behind on my catch-up (I was only away for two days!! !).... but can I sneak the penultimate post to the half thousandth page?

(Answer - yes - and I have to sleep now...)

Yeah thanks, I'll take that muffin, Prof Curmudgeonology, and use it to stuff my ears. Noise next door is deafening. Er...on second thoughts, is that a blueberry? Speaking of which...

Sense of humor helped us survive...... Caustic tongues on the other hand have caused us all a bit and more than a bit of grief.

Okay, somehow I missed the posts about the Curmudgeon! :oops:

And Postie's right, he's King Curmudgeon!!

Lemon and I are in our 30's, at least for a little while! I'm sure if they let me in here, you'll do just fine! :wink:

I was going to say something, then I got caught up watching the pixel-art animation in Lau's avie, and... whatever I had to say wasn't earth-shattering anyway, I don't think.

Hello there Sapphix. Are you allergic to blueberries?

I have ear plugs in and headphones over those and I can still hear the birds. :cry:

My mother's special interest is stealing my sanity.
Oh yeah... did I mention I am sitting in the living room? Sheesh, if I can't sit in my own living room in peace where can I go? My room? Nope, the ones I am hearing are the "pets" that are inside the house and they are between the living room and my room so I can hear them in my room too.

Sorry for ranting but this is ridiculous.

Oh I can just imagine! And I feel for you. We only had canaries (2 at a time) but the racket those things made every morning as soon as the sun came up was awful. My mother thought their singing was great. :roll:

And the smell..... I don't know what it is about birds but even one can change the smell of an entire house.

Not allergic to blueberries, Cosmiccat, just choked on it. The one that Prof Curmudgeon hid in the muffin offered. The Blessedmom warned me too late. But s'okay, I'm washing it down with lots of tea and irony.

yes, it was probably WHY we survived!
not one of us knew what was going on until recently. . well relatively recently

and now we have all found each other, and life is much different now. Well, relatively different, since it was always different, we just didn't know HOW different.

welcome Sapphix, would you like a muffin and a latte?
