It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Detour to California, Rip-Van-Winkle-like visit to Virginia, and just now have ended up BACK in Massachusetts.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Hello pretty people. Not here much as the job just doesn't allow it. But I see many of you on fb and love keeping up with all your doings.

and just now have ended up BACK in Massachusetts

Where? I've been longing for a meeting up of locaistas even if I haven't been very proactive on it.

I haven't been lurking this year. In fact, I've been forcing everyone in Natter to participate in my major life decisions. Of which there have been many.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Wow, October just flew by. I occasionally catch up in Natter and Bitches, but I'm mostly in the TV threads these days.

I miss watch and posts. I miss ita.

I hate fighting spellcheck every time I type "ita"

I missed the delurking thread! Not that I even successfully lurk very much anymore. But as it still seems to be open I’m slipping in before the doors shut behind me.

Still living in London with the DH, although we moved house earlier this year as or housemate moved in with her boyfriend and we couldn’t afford the old place without her. We still have two talky cats. I'm just back from a three week holiday visiting the extended family in Malaysia, which was fab, and hence the missing the thread. Generally I'm just pretty boring and have no news?

It’s really nice to see people’s pixels in here!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hi Jars!

Anyone else who thinks they have missed their chance to delurk - we opened the thread late this year so we are keeping it open a couple weeks into November. The doors are not closing quite yet!

Our wings are not tired.

Hi lurkers! Come on out!

I can't be called a lurker because I am either here being vocal or too buried to be here at all.

I'm not exactly a lurker, but my posts tend to be sporadic. I'm continuning to have vision problems, and to get a needle in my eye twice a month (once a month for each eye). Diabetic retinopathy, for which retinal injections continues to be the preferred treatment. I also have various muscular skeletal problems that make using a computer for long periods of time painful. I can read for long periods on a tablet, but even with a good keyboard, I find typing on one frustratingly slow. Especially since I made the mistake of leaving it on overnight, and it "upgraded" to lollipop without asking, almost impossible for me to type without accidentally invoking applications I don't want to load.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Hi. My name is DX, and I'm (mostly) a lurker.
