Hey Krisitn, It is definitely one of the benefits. I don't know how I'm going to cope when I am relegated back to the colonies! You know how 'they' say that when god closes a door, he opens a window? I think in this case he demolished an entire wall. Hey Donna, Will do honey. I'll be back with all the swoon worthy gossip asap. Hey Maso, <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF3
Heya Sarah, Great advice on the condoms. Should have probably thought of that myself already! I will probably have to pay for excess baggage on my return as I will have put on so much weight from the amazing food. Doesn't matter though - you only live once! Shovel - I'll allow that as one word cause, y'know, I have a soft spot for you Hey IG - When were you in
Thanks Sugar. I'm sure there will be many photos and tales to tell. *sigh* Life is grand sometimes. Suz xxx
I’m going to Paris! I’m going to Paris! I’m going to Paris! Having finally come to the realisation that I have been slightly mad to turn down French boy’s repeated offers to give me a personalised tour of the City of Love, I have booked myself a flight and will be there next Friday night. Our first proper ‘date’ is going to be a three day tour of his city
Do what you will with my name! Please! Being named Suzanne I have gone through all possible configurations of short, long and in between hand through the years. The ubiquitous Suz, Suzi, Suzi Q, Flooz, Floozie (hence the screen name), Pooz (thanks sis), Suzzle Woozle, Suzz (rhymes with fuzz), Suzz-muffin, Oozie, boozie, cruisy, Spewsy (saved for rare occassions of distinct over consumption of my favourite friend), Doozie, Suzi K, Cock (last
Gah! My (now defunct) situation to a tee. I wish I had walked away at the start, but at the same time, I know that I put in all the effort I could and have nothing to regret. There are no 'what ifs' for me - it is clear that while he has feelings for me they're never going to translate into anything more than friends (even though we had the whole sexual side of our relationship going quite well.... god I'm a sucker sometimes). Every situation
Glad to hear it, Mister. I well earned break, I'm sure. I'm very jealous about the sunshine, although we're starting to see a little bit more of that. Take care and don't get too relaxed! Suz xxx
Oh yeah. That is rude! How amazing is it that something that you write to someone in complete rationality can be deemed so offensive or annoying that they need to delete it from their blog. Wow. Good point!
Well fuck you too. Pass the Jack Daniels, I'll grab the coke. And when we're out of that I think there might be a manky bottle of Amaretto in the back of the cupboard. xx
not everyone who blogs has the time or even opportunity to respond to every point or even every other point. Again - and I think this is about the 15th time that I've had to say this - I am not referring to those people who give blanket responses, nor those who take a while to get back to their articles
Never fear, Angloesque. The situations I was talking about were obvious and balant, not the run-of-the-mill forgetfulness. We are all guilty of that one! Now that I've kicked up this stink I'm beginning to wonder why I bothered - people are people and are going to behave as they see fit. I should learn to let it go! Hope all's well with you, my dear.

Personally, I'd rather a casual nonresponse than a lengthy "You're a moron, here's why" that seems to be a far more typical JU response lately (sadly). Which is sad that it has deteriorated to such school yard ploys - at least in relation to some of the topics. You're right - we were also taught that if
Really? You sure fooled me. But I guess because you stayed out of the political arena that I did not pick up on it. Please tell me you're joking!
**CLARIFICATION** That sounds like I was justifying his spread of disease. That part of his behaviour I find repugnant and no amount of bad treatment would ever make me think that his actions were simply a result of his past experiences. He knows that what he did was/is wrong. That is a perfect example of a desire to spread the stain.
I even know some here who (at least with their online persona) fall into that category of people who quite truthfully enjoy being stains. Ahhh yes. That I can agree with. Nothing like the cloak of invisibility afforded by the net to allow you to vent frustrations on the unsuspecting and undeserving. The
conservative-circle-jerk-offs Hmmmm... Mr Joe Anonymous - this would probably count as an off topic response and I would be well within my rights to ignore it. Thank you for providing a good example (even though i've gone against what I've said by responding to it <img src="../images/smiles/joke.gif" bo
Blue Dev - I've already been thinking that. I am paranoid about not answering everyone now! I am referring to authors ignoring those people who bother to read and comment on their blogs, so the onus lies directly with me. Never fear!
But you have to consider the fact that sometimes comments are unanswerable This is true. I guess my point is related specifically to comments that are on topic and not rude. But then maybe I am just a little too demanding??? Hey Moderateman, i don't think I've read much of your stuff a
but that would make me not the center of the universe? Dang! Of course you're the centre of the universe, babe! This world is set up in a Truman-esque way just for you Never fear - this wasn't directed at you at all. Probably the
Dr Guy - I just read over my first comment to you and realised that it probably sounded aggressive when it wasn't meant to! I hope I didn't cause any offence. Damn lack of internation
Especially if you're just trying to empathise about what the blogger wrote. Ooooh - one of my pet hates. I remember having this happen to me when all I said was 'I can't possibly understand what you're feeling right now, but I am thinking of you and wish you the best' (or something along those lines). T
Blue Dev - Agreed on the blanket response. It is necessary sometimes, espcially when people are giving you support or just telling you they've stopped by. You don't want to write 'Thanks for reading' 20 times in 20 different ways! Dr Guy - I was just offering some reasons why at times, it could appear that you
Good article Blue Dev, and deserving of a bump in relation to my 'Manners' blog. You encapsulated the sentiment perfectly. have (another) insightful! Suz xxx
Dr Guy - Damn writing comments when other people are too! I can understand ignoring trolls and off topic comments - hence the word pertinent in my post. I don't think that anyone should be a slave to responding to each and every person that comments on their blog regardless of relevance. I too am guilty of not getting back to my blog for a couple of days and I think that's normal for many people who simply don't have the time to log on
Blue Dev, That was a great article. You encapsulated the point perfectly, even if we are talking about slightly different things. If you wouldn't do it in the 'real' world, don't do it on here. I'm going to leave a comment over there so ti gets back on the boards for anyone like me that missed it! Gene - That sucks. It's really disheartening, isn't it? Here's hoping we can effect some sort of change around here! <img src="../images/sm
