    Evening-
    Journey not as bad as I expected- from Stansted for the following 9 miles traffic was at a near stand still, frozen slush on motorway...no more snow but visibility was awful nearly all the way.
    At least I got here safe, even if it took 4 1/2 hours...


    Oh what a journey, glad you arrived safely though. I remember in France many years ago we were staying in a gite and woke up one morning to about a foot of snow, and as we were doing up a house we couldnt afford to waste time as we had builders with us so we went out early and were very happy to find the owner had cleared the driveway to the main road, but as it was a country lane we thought we wouldnt be going anywhere in a hurry, but guess what - on a small country road early in the morning the road was completely cleared. Can you imagine that ever happening here.
    Hope everybody is home safe today. Will be worse tomorrow with ice, so take care everyone.
  • My thoughts exactly - but I just don't get it - she has sold hundreds of these emails (that's what they are - they are not folders). Other people seem happy with what they have received - ( should add that they are told to say they are happy - I hadn't realised the false reviews at time of purchase) - People are mugs or I am missing something. Has anybody else on here fallen foul of this folder flogger.

    Why don't you post the link / point us in the right direction so we can all take a look.

    I would never have noticed her eyebrow, or yours:o:rotfl::rotfl:.

    Eyebrow?:huh: You'd have to have a video and play it in really slow motion and, then, after staring at it - fortunately the video of your eyebrow and not your actual eyebrow in RL - for ages, I would still have no clue and would have to ask "What does the movement of your eyebrow mean?":rotfl:

    I think I know (...but how can I ever be sure I "know" anything?). I would not have noticed it at the time though.

    I think she was saying to me “ I can’t believe that he’s being so rude”
    It was a disapproving eyebrow:rotfl:

    And I was saying to her “I agree”

    We couldn’t talk savvy as he would have heard but our eyebrows definitely went up together :rotfl:

    Since I am here now, due to TM managing to get me to post:o - I was lurking prior to - you have to get me a post that, if I see it, I just can't avoid not giving a reply to - I may as well say I have a brand new M list, that is possibly the most excellent one I have ever done, that will be out of date in parts tomorrow:rotfl: - but I did complete it this afternoon - for England and Wales, I have some Mout Cider on there that on which the offer was due to expire in M today - don't worry though - assuming the offer was ever picked up last Wednesday, it will work tomorrow (and possibly the day after) on the APG. This was on mbuy price in England and Wales (and this time I did see it in England and in Wales) but that won't apply in Scotland - did M have individual price of £7.50 there?

    Depending on how things look tomorrow, I may just be in one M to do a partial update but I shouldn't worry as otherwise it will now wait to Wednesday.

    Strangely enough, if I was going for 4, that was the one I thought after seeing your previous post, or a '!' if they do one.

    I know that, although I wouldn't have been able to put it into words as you have done so. I know it was disapproving though (I think:rotfl::rotfl:). No, I think I know - but, assuming that he wasn't on the autism spectrum or with some other disability that might affect this area (which may or may not be one even completely undiscovered yet by any human beings), I think that he did hear your eyebrow movement, and regardless of whether he was facing you, was at an angle or was turned away - but only through sub-conscious perception. I think most people are able to perceive body language movements, including (but not limited to!) eyebrows, and that information will reach them, like a radio receiver, regardless of whether their eyes are looking towards the person giving out the signal or not. I think your communication from your eyebrow (and the one from hers a split-second before*) did reach him, if he isn't autistic, even though he probably will not be consciously aware that it has.

    *Mind you, you say they "went up together". I wonder now whether her body language subconsciously influenced yours to raise your eyebrows in total unison:rotfl:. You say they "definitely" went up together - but how can you be sure? Have you measured some scientific measurement to show that, exactly to the same tiniest divisible of a second, they went up together or did they, as I suspect, go up within the tiniest delay between each other and how do we know our perception (yours of her eyebrows, as well as your own) is instantaneous rather than being delayed by a tiny amount? I suspect I may be out of sync as well - but it will never be noticed: I think the outside world may take the tiniest nanosecond before I see it and therefore, to them, I am slow by a nanosecond - most people are in sync with others but the difference with me is so tiny that they can't see it either whilst the perception of motion (but not body language motion that isn't seen by me at all) reaches me twice as fast as the vast majority of people. Interesting:rotfl:. (Light and sound clearly reach us at different times, depending on the distance we are from them and the resulting perception, which may differ in time from the original formed at the same location, is formed in the brain.) Anyway, that is that; let's move on...

    Will post links in morning to folder but the group she sells to or brainwashes is B&M Bargain Lovers (SECRET GROUP) and once you buy the folder you are allowed into a a group called The Secret Folder VIP room (SECRET GROUP) . All a load of twaddle. Of course poor folks are buying the emails because they think they are missing something that will make them rich.
