Congratulation, way to go,, I invite everyone that still smokes to do the same thing... look on all the positive things, it's way better for your health, you will save $$ and lets face it smoking is less and less trendy.

Happy Birthday Demetz!!!!!!! I hope that you have a really good day!!!! All the best for one of the best!!!

Good chapter as always CJ, I really enjoyed it from the start to the end, I personally liked it better than the last 2. we now know that one of the bomb is in play. that it's been well disguised and ready to detonate when Jerry will think it's the right time. Tho I'm still wondering what is the goal wanted from the exercise. Instinct made their two show in LA, and will be heading out to SF, the good thing is that they're heading away from the heat. It sounds like the band will survive the blast of that one That snap has appeared and Brandon and chase had to deflect some real question about a possible relationship between the two of them. I'm still wondering, wouldn't it be better for them to just come out. Yes it could hurt them as group but, don't we already know some gay artist making good career. It will be out there eventually,,, better saying now than wait and letting the fans feel like they were being lied to. Some very nice development coming from Joe,,, it does seem like he's now much better, hopefully he won't have a relapse. I wonder why the fact that he was around the show venues didn't come to the ears of the band's entourage. The band do wanna talk with Joe,,,,

happy B-day Lugh! I hope that you have a really great day, that you get what you wish the most....

Being best friend with someone wouldn't stop me from going out with him/her. Yes there might be risk for you to ruin a friendship, but you know the guy, so before doing something, you know before getting more involved if you're made for each other or not. In that case,, well it is worth it. Also, if you were best of friends,, well you might simply decide to end up mutually before things gets bad,,,

I do think about it, I say it would be quite a nice thing to be part of a a project like that... But, my top choice would be along an GA initiative.

A Big congratulation to CJ, 6k post that's a lot,, and that proves that he's devoted to this forums hooray

I'll go against the trend that most of you seem to have. personally, I don't mind the DST, I do enjoy it, seeing the sun for a longer time period at night is good. At least when you get back home from work in the afternoon, it's not already dark outside and you get more time to do activities. The taking the time to change all the clock in the house. It's nothing, now many things change itself without any needs. the tv, my alarm clock, the computer,, all there is left for me is my watch and that doesn't take that long really. Does it save energy, I'd think so, because most of the average family gets up in the morning and leave to work. When they get back in the evening they gain an extra hour before having to turn on the lights. Also, there's still sun outside, therefore, it does have a little effect on warming the inside. Now, about the, well some doesn't use DST and all. Time zone is always a problem no matter if you change it or not. For me it's even better, since with DST I'm now in the same time zone than my dad (trinidad doesn't do DST) therefore it's easier to communicate.

I wanna give a big thank you to everyone that worked on the Anthology,, you guys have all done some terrific job. thank you from the bottom of my heart

A really nice, heartwarming poem it is. It's thoughtful from the very start to the end. You describe very well the painful steps that led the way to something magical! thank you

Exactly, putting up the team that will give the best possible finished product is not all easy. And as the conductor you did just that. Look at the end result,, A big thank to all of you to make those stories possible.

You're right about the not everyone can see this part of the forum, I just wanted to raise the issue in general as an author to other authors and since it's an author matter I thought it was the best place to raise it. I certainly understand that, specially when you're pushed by a schedule, that you can forget about all the things you needed to do. If you can't change it on the original text, maybe give the not in the discussion thread of that story. sacha

I started reading the spring 2008 anthology and something came to my attention. I was appalled to realize that some of the writers took their copyrights (that's a good thing) but never made any mention about who has done the editing, not even a little thanks. I'm sure that some of them did do it by themselves,, but I don't really believe that so many did... I appeal to all writers to give their share amount of respect to all of those that was implicated in the process of the story writing (editing, beta, zeta, or just brainstorming). They do take some good amount of time, it's time to shine the light on them.

The thread did seem to become one of them after being highjacked just like any other thread in the entire forum would be. If you look to the original set up,, it was to be a thread for BK to post his 3K post then comes the congratulations,,,, One could also say that, all the millennium thread becomes after one day a "discussions post count", just as much as, often, the celebrate anything thread,,,Therefore shouldn't all of those gets moved in the game and humor or get a special place for those since it's not really a game nor humor.... Well, tiger,,, when this thread was originally posted,, bk was still posting and was closing in rapidly on the 3k,,, it wouldn't be the first time that we start the celebration thread when the member gets close to it.

one could argue that it was already open

gary the thread was about honoring the 3k post of BK,,, it was for him to write and post his 3,000th post in it,,, and decide what to do with the thread,, Actually the accepted practice,, it to create the congratulatory thread when he's about to,,, for instance CJ started mine 2 posts before I did it. that's one example, and if you look back, I remember that it's was the same thing for others. Only when you'll start following the guidelines will you be able to talk about accepted practice,, it's not accepted to post completely off topic messages or to write posts that disrupt the topic of conversation or steer the discussion away from the focus of the forum. to provide a chance to boost their post count? Gary! please, as I said it was for him to post his 3000 post,, and start his festivities,, talking about boost their post count,, How many post did you made in the thread before this one???? How many were IM like ones???? when you write 4 posts in less than an hour in a thread, almost any thread, you can ask yourself if what you write is appropriate If you notice I'm not posting at a 22 per day average (of course I'll agree that not all of them are senseless),, I'm not saying that It was good for me to do it from time to time,, but I realize that a forum is not a free-for-all place,,, and NEVER have I took a thread and steered it away,,, only once had I have a day with more than 50 post,, And it was a special set of circumstance and since then, I've always made sure that my post weren't IMs Get over it??? Even the mods thought it was good to remember the etiquette of the forum! The guidelines are good for everyone, you and me included!

Oh, that's really special, that's kinda freaky actually,, not that he shouldn't be able to, but that's still weird... I wrote my story as a "joke" I never thought that it could happen,

Hopefully, pretty soon it's gonna be,, celebrating the habs clinching the first place of their division,, then even better the top place of the eastern conference

Congratulation Gary,,, You've done it really fast,, It's really great to have you around,, you bring what every authors wants,, someone that read and comment on their stories

It's now officially your birthday,, I'm not late nor early!! Happy B-DAY Rose,, I hope that you're having a fantastic day! that everything that you could possibly wish to have, that you'll get it,,, happy b-day,, and do something for you !!
