You mean like how it feels over at Midnight Sun? I don't care that they hate me, I would just like to kick against the pricks more than once every two days. [That's a classical reference, not a vulgarity, you know, like dark as wine sea.]

We love you EL

We thought you'd abandoned us! Well, not you. The Sun had stranded you, and abandoned us.

So we had to gather on Facebook, and discuss sex and ethnic festivals. It was traumatic.

I hate it when you all go over there and I can't even participate. EL

Is a post about spam still a spam post? and do either qualify as food related? ;)

Spam and scrapple are two alleged food items I've yet to try.

Maybe because I'm traveling (was in Lexington NC Tuesday but avoided commenting on 'que) but I just had to reload my personal info too. NBD.

Why am I not finding the D@L group on Facebook?? What do I need to look for?

We only go over to Facebook when the withdrawl gets back, Elizabeth.

You could make up a name, and lurk. Just make sure you friend the usual suspects.

Scrapple rocks. Spam doesn't.

MD Canon, it is D@L. Facebook's search engine sucks. If you look for Hal, though (since he uses his first and last name here), you can find him, and get to us that way. Or search for my name and library.

The D@L group is ridiculously hard to find. Look for my FB name Umberto Swarm and look at my groups, one of which is D@L. You will know me by my Owl Man photo.

We need more regulars over there.

Oddly enough none of our conversations on facebook happen on the D@L page. Most take place on the users pages. Much like in real life, I sponge off the hospitality of others, and never invite anyone over to my house. Tonight, however, I actually people over. They didn't leave too much of a mess, although Owlie didn't use a coaster.

Those who come join us on Facebook (all are welcome, we'll help if needed), yes, you need to friend the usual suspects, because, as RoCK pointed out, we seem to talk on each other's walls more than on the D@L page.

Fortunately, if you find one of the regulars, it is really easy to find the rest.

Thanks to Lissa and RoCK ... I am now connected on Facebook as Maryland Canon.

It was just a little strange when FB suggested my "real self" as a potential friend! I have never thought of myself that way.

The Facebook group function is mostly useless. You never get a notice that a discussion has been updated so nobody goes there. You need to friend people (yes it's a verb) and post a comment on their wall or make a comment on one of their updates. Hey, McIntyre is my friend and he's like the Gilligan of Cool. (Okay JM I just made that up to confuse you.).

Lately when EL is off getting an avocado wrap or elective ECT we just amuse ourselves. It's not as big a group as D@L but it is instantaneous and lately it's been RoCK, me, Lissa, Joyce W, qzans (my new friend!), et al.

Even Lord Marmalade is there but he rarely comes out of his manor.

Come on over, just be a voyeur.

More paraphilias to account for, OMG.

Just sayin.

^-^

I thought that maybe Owl had infected us with the Midnight Sun virus...Symptoms may include the inability to post comments, an extreme dislike from people named Sue, intoxication due to gin infused air, auditory and visual hallucinations of corgis and englishmen, a sudden craving for calamari and ranch dressing followed by monkey bread...

Monkey bread?!?!? Ahhhhh.......

Don't worry I wear a hazmat suit when visiting Midnight Sun. You can never be too careful.

Hey a natural segue ... There's a new OMG post over there. I explore the hot new topic of comfort cocktails, the liquid equivalent of comfort food ... in this economy. Please visit and leave a comment objecting to antyhing at all. See how creative your objections can be.

I think I blocked my own comment because it wasn't that interesting to begin with. I apologize for messing up yours.

In Gmail, when you go into the Spam folder to clean it out, the ads across the top of the page are all for recipes involving Spam. I see "Spam Hashbrown Bake" a lot. I made the mistake of clicking on it once.

Hey, never admit fault. :-) EL
