Strider's looking very cute today (I mean Strider the dog!). Robert should have got one of those bikes with a basket on the front for him to sit in.

Thank you so much Emily for the lovely comments you left on my profile. You're one of the lovely members on here that made me decide to reverse my decision to leave. I'm looking forward to returning to the forum one day soon and having some fun!

Thank you so much for the comments you left on profile. You're right there are lots of ignorant, rude and confrontational people on here. I was really upset by some of their comments directed towards me. I am taking a temporary break from the forum, and I am determined they're not going to drive me away. I look forward to speaking to you again soon.

Thanks for sending me the photos of Jimmy's book Kiwi. That has really made my day!

Thanks for the comment on my profile. The painting is by John William Waterhouse, one of my favourite artists. I'm sorry to hear you've had a bad week, I hope next week is better.

Thanks for your comment on my profile. I must say that I'm loving your new backgroud paper, it looks like Victorian flocked wallper, very sophisticated. I also love your new picture on your profile. Is that woman from the '20s or '30s? Do you know who she is? I love anything vintage!

Thanks Preetha. I felt like having a change! I may keep this one for while. Rachel

What an improvement you've made to the beautiful women thread Kiwi. There are some real gems on there now. I'm sure the other male members here will really appreciate all your hard work and dedication to the pursuit of true beauty!

Yes, the muses of the Pre-Raphaelite artists were truly beautiful women with their long flowng hair. I love your latest additions to the beautiful women thread. Will PM you later after work.
