Quotations and Literature Forum

hi again brothers and sisters and old grumpy uncles and dear gumtree, i see the forum is saved from the hands of invaders. frustrated to see there was no hope, i have ignored the forum and ignored the email adress i used to register, for a while. And this morning, i wanted to send an email to the duchess, and tried to open my inbox to get her contact info (if i remember well i had her info in my inbox, along with other friends') but i noticed i cannot open my inbox. then i checked my email, and saw (thanks to an auto-email) a beloved forumer from here had sent me a message via forum message module, and i couldn't see it either. so i'm here, saying you all visited my mind time to time, especially her highness gumtree the duchess. Looking forward to hearing from you all soon, especially gumtree and DSW, for i was late to answer their messages, and then prevented from answering, i feel ashamed.

Yaay Tony just left you a message in the announcements bit and then thought I'd just check out Fluff Forum and you were here. Haven't even bothered to log in for months.

So glad to touch base. I lost all my info about your address etc from pms. Can you give us link to magazine with its contact details so we can get in touch with you that way?

I"ll let DSW know you're lurking around here

Wotcha Tony, great to 'hear' from you. Since I'm no longer fond of my employer and spam is not going to be my problem,
alan.shields@yooralla.com.au

From there I'll give you my serious address, if you'd like. Obviously Gumnut, err Gummy bear, oh fruit gum, agh Gumtree is still in touch as is Sally from Pyramid world (occasionally, it seems life in her place is a bit distracting just now)

From where I sit, you would be a very welcome addition, even if you come from a land who desecrate coffee at every opportunity!!!!!

السلام عليكم

i will send DSW an email and hope that he will bind us all in the darkness

you all are special for me, because i feel that, unlike many people that have been around me recently, you "know" my past, and somehow witnessed my "evolution". And, maybe you're not aware of it but, you played roles in my evolution; so i will always see you kind of "family". therefore i do not want to lose contact. so enough sentimental bla bla.

GT, the magazine has become more professional, i'll send you the forthcoming issue, which will be published in october. The crew is growing in numbers, and i personally managed to enjoy some success. And i would like to share the pride with you all, wish i could send you gifts from Turkey, as a sign of friendship, as "relique"s which will decorate your houses as remembrances. Yet as the thing got serious, my responsibilities became wider and heavier, i spare every penny for expenses: The printing press costs, office rent (yea we have an office now!), bla bla. But slowly the magazine has been bringing some profit to cover expenses, my credit card debt is melting, so i will be able to send some gifts i had promised long ago to a special person

So i hope we'll revive old sweet days, are we going to?

I've been checking all the time since we saw your post - have missed you and other friends so much but was lucky to keep in touch with the Witty One in Melbourne. Wish Arrow, Anajo and Libra come back too along with you Wise Bard I sent them Pm's too but guess all the pm data has got lost. Anyhow Libra has much to think about and cope with just now.

Of course we will revive the sweet old days but we will have private contacts between us so we do not have to rely on the Forum DSW will give you my email if you email him.

I'll make up for that
( I had lots more but BIG BROTHER is here and will only allow me 10!)

So glad to hear from you, welcome back and thank you for a new laugh. Don't look here as often as I did but with you and Tony around again will look more often

Many good wishes and glad G'dday
GT

there. Hello GT! Happy to see you here again. How are you? I haven't seen you even in photos, but here, let me share a poem i prepared for my QPF friends for my return.


Pictures


Look back
Look closely
Look forward
Ponder and smile
Gaze and kiss

Think and laugh
Glance and smirk
Stare and remark
Such is the power
Of pictures

Vanity, flattery
Approval, compliment,
Like, dislike
Tag, comment
Such is the motion
Of pictures

Catch a sigh
Ask or wonder why
Stand still or
Stand your ground
Instant decision comes
To keep or let go
Such is graphic choice

Converse with print
As you flip the past
Memories come fast
Some better, others harsh
Such is the book of life

Pictures fade
Copy paste and save
Photos blight
Store and capture more
Life’s a photograph
Take a snap before it stops
