Good to hear all your news (I had a brief career in Libraries long ago!). Hope your kids are turning out well. My son is 30 now and about to get married soon - and is a fine human being.

As for me - ...I'm a couple of years into getting a pension.... I had a pacemaker fitted in April after I had ...

Hello, all. Is anyone still here? Special wave to Dan, it was nice to 'see' you here again, although it looks like that was last year already. You mentioned Judee Sill, did you see the documentary about her that came out a few years back?

I've been thinking about this crew lately, I've had two ...

Wow! Amazing to see you back, Angie! It must be knocking on 20 years since we were all chattering away on CQD etc.
And how great that these things can bring people together from miles apart, such as you and Beth.
How are your children? My son is 27 now :shock: - where does the time go?


Hi ...

Oh my gosh, HELLO! I was emailing Beth this morning and thought, oh, I should let the Barbie Board folks know that we finally met up last year. Yes, it was so long in the making and a total living dream that it actually happened! It started out as my friend and I joking about going to Primavera ...

Happy belated, Rob and Alex! [bday]

Great news, Dave!

Oh, I am... I am.

Lots of excitement around the royal baby, huh? It's been nice to see the photos, and hear all the crazy guesses at his name.

Fantastic!

For once nothing special planned, I just wanted to go to London to buy new tshirts :mrgreen:


We get a lot of rare birds in our garden, and we're birdlovers too, so we'll let them have a chance for the time being.


Really? Dicky was an old mate of mine but that's probably coincidental. :wink ...

Ooh, I loved this movie, I know I rented it several times after I discovered it. I think I'm due for another viewing. Thanks for the reminder, Rob!

Hello, Stina board. [akiss]

Dave, what a nice story about Tatty - as nice a story about a cat passing away can be. The poem/song coincidence is wonderful. Our two cats are getting up there, I think they're about 10 and 12 years old, and it's difficult to believe they're reaching their senior years ...

Oh, Beth, I'm sorry, but I'm getting quite a chuckle out of Other Grandma. :D I know you know that the time and attention he gets from you is worth more than whatever money she throws at him. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Day in spite of her. And I know you will, with little Rocco running ...

Good news, Rob! [tup]

Happy Birthday to Robin, Dave! I hope he had a great day!

Congrats on the new laptop, Beth. I'm happy to hear things are looking up this year.

Wow, I hope you enjoy those full-time paychecks while you have them! I'm glad the job's getting easier. :)

Happy Birthday (yesterday) to Rocco! What are they going to do in Portugal? Love that you got him a doll. :) A coworker gave me one of her daughter's old Cabbage Patch kids, and Ellis only has ...
