GO! Smell our spell offline!
May 21st, 2008 by JimWell folks we’re signing off now for THREE WEEKS (gasp) as we head off to Canada on a working ranch to celebrate Em’s 40th birthday. We’re leaving all the content to the trusted founders here at GO! Smell the flowers as we STOP online activity for the first time in a few years.
So, over to you founders - good luck, enjoy and we look forward to seeing what the garden looks like in a few weeks! Maybe more founders badges awarded, new visitors, flowers, thorns and plenty of threads to get cyberspace thinking?
What would struggle to give up for 3 weeks? Do tell - A 3 week spell without…………? Do tell……
You do know what this means dont you….
Gnomes running wild..
the ivy sneaking over the fence…
those Thorny Blackberry bushes pushing their way through the hedge
not to mention the lawn …
hmmm
Ok whose going to do the mowing not me I am running the BBQ….
have fun and remember the sun screen ..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EM
There’s not much need for sunscreen in Canada.
hey I’m on the otherside of the planet its summer there… summer = sun oh well..!
Oh that’s right….. Me forgets. I live an hour south of the Canadian border and it’s currently 37 degrees Fahrenheit here at 9am. What’s going on here?
whats that in Celsius….
it was 1 degree C here at 10.30 am….
and tonight is colder… I’ll be opening my driveway with the hammer again in the morning I reckon…. brrrrrr
2 degrees Celsius! Thats pretty chilly for the end of May.
what I mean is 37 Fahrenheit is 2 celsius!
I’m bringin’ the booze …

I think we can hold down the fort.
Have a good time down on the farm over yonder… and Happy Birthday Em.

hmmm perry como…… noooooooooo!… maybe a little bone marrow…. but arghhhhhhhh not the Coma….
See ya guys - have a great time and a brilliant birthday bash Em.
So not even an internet cafe nearby? 3 weeks is going to be tough. Is this part of your detox?
Not detox related Mike but it’s always Ems dream to do the blazing saddles cattle ranching thing - right back to basics, no phones, no internet and not even an extra helping of baked beans by the fireplace!
Starry skies, sore limbs and rosey red cheeks - similar to a decent night out.
The thought of offline isn’t easy now but here we GO!
**Any more thoughts gang?
What would you go without for 3 weeks that would be a toughie for you?
nice segway…. guys…
back to the question at hand…
apart from the internet… hmmmm I did this for 2 months when we moved here…..
it would have to be hubby and moppet… we havent spent more than a night apart for 10 years nearly…. hmmm. couldnt handle three weeks and really dont want to try….
I would struggle without ice-cream or Dr Who for 3 weeks. Talking of which no Dr Who this week as it is the Euro Song Contest.
O dear.
O dear o dear.
WAHOOOOH!!! I knew there was a reason I loved the Eurovision!
Stop it Lib.
please
sniff
After reading the comments, I’m staying away from Canada for the next three weeks!!! Have a great time!!! Let’s see what the gnomes do while you are gone.
Oh, the question. What would I struggle to give up for three weeks…coffee, chocolate, computer. Just the thought makes me shake and start withdrawl symptoms…AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Don’t make me do it please!!! Oh, sorry over reacted this was just a what if type of thing, huh?
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! (hanging on to your legs and dragging along the floor)
Get them Canadians to get their own ranch hands! Stay and have a birthday party with us Em!!!
What? Ok, fair enough, I’d like to hang out with a few cowboys for 3 weeks as well.
Have fun, happy birthday and meet you back here in 3 weeks!
Right, I’m off to join the festivities, wahooooooooooh!!!!!!
Cheers Lib,
I’ll give you the gossip at Bo’s wedding
AT LONG LAST!!!
We’ll finally, FINALLY be able to figure out where the Hell Canadian bacon comes from!!
You are going to tell us, right? RIGHT?!?!
My guess is that it’s made from the natives.
Maybe but from which part? Of the body - not geographical you understand.
What species constitutes natives?
3 weeks away from the computer…? How terrible and yet healthy at the same time. I think I would die, personally.
Well its time to us to find out….
**Currently writing this is Abu Dhabi departures ready for our 14 hour red-eye to toronto!
See y’all when were back flower folk.
