about crocus

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world"
-Mahatma Gandhi

Hey guys/gals.  This is just an FYI.  I am going through my friends list.  I'm going to be pretty ruthless about it as I am going to be switching to friends only soon.  

 

Don't take it the wrong way if I remove you.  In the past, I've  typically accepted all friends requests.  However, this means that if I want to post things friends only it is pretty much pointless as I have all kinds of folks on my list.  

I'm going to go through my friends list and remove anyone that I haven't spoken with recently or who I really don't have that much in common with.   There are a group of folks on here that love the drama and go poking around other people's profiles looking for it.   And truthfully, if I think that your friends are crazy or one of the drama hounds, I'm probably going to remove you unless we are really tight.  

As I said, it isn't personal so much as I am tired of all the cattiness in here and am going to restrict my GOLO profile and feel this is a good way to do it.  

 Best regards,

Thank you for the concern crocus. Have a great day.

thank you for the kind worsd

hey! you know i hadn't read fool on the hill (in gosh since college mebbe? is it that old?) and sure as heck never knew he wrote anything else.. I remember a little bit about FotH but I think at the time it was competing with Doug Adams dollars and well, DOUGLAS ADAMS for chrissakes! The book sounds fun.. i'll see if I can ebook it.. :) Kindle 2 is good for some things

LOL! I hope you are having a great day!

"LOL TBK--You must have watched Bones the other night when the feral cats were chomping on the corpse."

Ouch! No, I don't watch that show.

hahahhahahahhahahaha

I'm cryin over here...Mr Bo Jangles??????????

Didja see the picture???

Bla, I didn't realize that I had to clear all name changes through the name police. Or check with the PC patrol to make sure that scientific names for plants don't somehow offend your sensibility. Get over yourself!

Dexter sends his love btw. He is flattered that you remembered the "mom biting" incident and wished more cat bites on my family members. Perhaps you'd like to come over and visit him? I could break out the boxed vino and we can make a night of it.

Just so you know, Crocus Longiflorus is an actual plant. I'll probably be changing to that soon. You can google it to make sure that I'm not somehow offending your heritage.

/Wave to all the stalkers who have put my profile on the most popular list.

I feel truly honored that all of you are suddenly so interested in little old me.

That being said, I'm going to bed.

So you will have to wait until tomorrow to go digging through that which is Crocus.

G'night crazy people on GOLO.

LOL, good morning and TGIF to you and yours!

I said 15 by 4pm. How many do you anticipate? lol

I think we are at 10...LOL

Before you start crying about me making fun of your heritage, how about you do a little research? /endquote

hey,,Dad wants to know where we are going with the clipboard?

ROFL - crazy nut! That is gonna take some serious working on. I might have to work harder at work to make more money...but those dang things are so cute, they are worth it! Hmmmm...give me a little while to work on it :-)

"Apparently scientific classifications of plants are offensive to some people's heritage. Who knew? Before you start crying about me making fun of your heritage, how about you do a little research? Here, I'll do it for you."

Like Forrest says: Stupid is as stupid does! Some people make up names from different tribes so how the heck can they claim it is theirs? Oh my. God is great, beer is good and PEOPLE ARE CRAZY!!!

Have a good night wild woman!

now that would be an interesting study, to see if people are intimitad by clipboards. Wonder if it's a new phobia

omg,,now that's funny

the clipboard that ate manhattan

Good Morning,stopping by to wish you a nice weekend.

Hi Sweetie -

See you soon.

I don't think the poster on my profile belongs to that "group" cause she's a friend of mine, and I think I'd know.

Maybe...

You know how GOLO is.

;o)

God bless.

RB

LOLOL! We might have to work around a few obstacles, but hey, you never know...;-)

Hey, next time I head out to Kakapo, I will pick you up one of these birds!

Ok, I will find one that is just a little friendly. OMG this baby bird was HUGE, it was about 4 months old. It looked me in the eyes, and kept opening its mouth and squawking for food.

OMG, Crocus! How did you KNOW I would LOVE that pattern so darn much????? I am rushing to order a thousand to make and give away for Christmas gifts this year. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Who you /b/???

I was thinking about posting some Boxxy stuff. But i just will wait.

Mornin` Crocus...Have a Great day..Ribbit

I gotta say, it's refreshing to see someone with similar tastes in music. Quite unexpected!

Hi Crocus *HUGS* OMG what on earth was I doing with a duck *LOL* That is really funny!!! Well at least I knew it was safe from the dinner table *wink*

I have an appointment this morning...nurse should be here any minute. Talk to you later!!!

just dropping in to say "hi"

I may not buy you a kakapo; however, I would be delighted to treat you to lunch at Neomonde Bakery. ;)

What up chickie poo

dark hunter quote:

"I survived a hell you can't even imagine and its fires forged a core of steel within me. You want a battle? Pick your sword. But remember the number of gods before you who sought to kill me and failed." - Savitar

dark hunters:

http://www.dark-hunter.com/characters.php

I think you will like Savitar, even though he doesn't show up until way later in the series

quote:

"It actually dawned on me that I don't fight.I just kill whatever annoys me and its over" - Savitar

I was on the popular list last night? dang. Wonder if there were cameras in my bedroom watching the monkey sex,,,lol.

Hope you enjoy the books. Remember, Night Pleasures is the actual first dark hunter book if the other one introduces some pretty integral characters. Fantasy Lover is not a vampire novel but it does give insight into the series that is coming up. You don't have to read it first though at all, You may want to read it afterwards to fill in some blanks.

Did you check out the website? I like the website

Hi Crocus, so nice meeting you today! Really liked your scarf and thanks for reminding me about Ravelry.com. Sorry that Savannah couldn't avoid that bath today.

Susan

Hey!! It was wonderful to meet you and Savanna too. I'm glad she was able to get back in the car without having to have a session with the waterhose, and bad as I hate to say it, glad it was mommy that had go give her a bath and not me! LOLOL I'd hate to leave a bad impression on her!

Hope you have a good weekend!

Good to meet you too crocus--I thought it was funny how I remembered the dog from one of your photos but names and faces I'm terrible with. I was shocked at how well the donations mounted up to. I'm glad you'll know who the loudmouth on golo is now. LOL Have a good weekend.

It was so nice to meet you and Savannah--what an adorable, friendly, well behaved dog. She would make a great role model for Alli. LOL And what is a kakapo???

heard you say that she was a "Golo dog". :) LOL I sure didn't mean anything bad by that. I recognized the unique colors of the dog. I worked witha girl like you are referring to at the ESC office. One time of seeing them and she never forgot that name to the face. I too had to wait until the ID came out to acknowledge them by name.

what the frak is that? Can it burn to a DVD?

Good morning. Have a great day!

Fantasy Lover is a stand alone book but sort of kicked off the whole Dark Hunter series. The characters in Fantasy Lover show up quite often in the rest of the series and reference is made to them and how they came to be.

But, if it were me, I'd read Night Pleasures first, then go back and read Julian's story. Just because Night Pleasures will hook you for the series

By the way, she just started a new series, and I stopped off at the book store to pick them up (there are now 2 of them out) and Barnes and Noble only had the 2nd one. I was like WTH??? So, I put the 2nd one back, so I would not be tempted to read them out of order. I was not at all happy

I am as well, reading them in order. I will stockpile books until I get to the beginning ones...lol

I have a very quiet morning toda, very unusual for me. I don't know what to do with myself. But it will soon be over and back to the grindstone. I have about another 15 minutes and I will have kids coming out of my ears (well 2 anyway)

Hi Crocus, thanks for asking about Fleasha. She is like your typical two year old child. She loves attention to be focused on her and her alone! She's got a very sweet personality and nature, doesn't seem to be a mean bone in her body. She is still a bit of a chewer but as long as she has her own things to chew on, she'll leave your stuff alone 95% of the time (still keep an eye on her). Her crate and basic command training is going well. She's good with cats to the point that she thinks they are her play toys. A cat used to dogs will be fine with her but I wouldn't have her around any cat that is not used to dogs. She's not aggressive with them (although the herding instinct in her makes her want to herd them) but she will swat a paw upside their head to get their attention...side note...cats don't like that!

Here is the link to my original blog about her.

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5840289/

PS, what's a kakapo?

I love a series as well. And it royally ticks me off when they are not produced fast enough.

JD Robb has an AWESOME police detective series out. My absolute favorite in the genre and there are about 30 of them, currently

LOL, thanks for the visual! Critters...never a dull moment, that's for sure.

It would be wonderful if you were instrumental in helping Fleasha find her permanent home. She's sweet as can be but her forever home isn't here. She really needs to be the center of attention. And this little homestead is about blending, not grandstanding...and Fleasha is about some grandstanding. She showed up here going, "Ta-Da! Here I am! Whatcha' wanna' do? Wanna' play with me! Me! Me!"

PS, A puff away from a pack a day...best mantra ever and I have you to thank for sharing it with me. Not a puff since the end of May! MUAH! :D

Sorry! Just got home after what felt like hundreds of errands after work. THe ghost tour is in raleigh, but it's from 6-10 and it's sold out. But the festival is still free and kickin and the Inspire, the paranormal investigator group will be there talking to people
