    yeah, I'm the same. At the end of the day, it's Martins site so we either put up or shut up really.

    We can be shut up. Just not selectively.

    And I think that's the problem - they have lost sight of the fact that helping people is a *transaction* and there are *two* parties involved. Make things more difficult for either of the parties (even if aiding the other) and the transaction suffers.

    Having the diaries on their own thread has been even more convenient than I thought it would be. I've one tab with the daily chat, one tab with the diaries board, and there is nothing else to distract me now.

    Sure you are:cool: Although I am not so sure now you have started this running malarky:p :D

    If you could see me trying to walk today, as a result of yesterday's running, you'd know the answer to that ;)

    Bizarrely, even though I hurt, and I'm walking like I've filled my pants, I want to go out again :confused:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Lou,
    I watched that and to be honest, I found it a bit disturbing...

    Unlike (it seems!) most of my DFW friends who LIKE men dressed as WOMEN!

    I just have the daily chat open. I've had a big conversation with icecube2009 on her thread she has started because she posted on chat first, but if she hadn't have done, I probably wouldn't have bothered looking at the threads at all.

    Exactly. And that was predicted *years* ago.

    Should the daily chat be on here or on the diary board then?

    That is an open issue...................

    yep - every chance I probably said something along those lines myself.

    Mmmm I guess we must be a bit weird then:D ;) Saying that I am terrified of full on Drag Queens and Pantomine Dames.........I guess that makes me weird too:rotfl:

    OR maybe I quite like women:eek:
