Complaint Department discussion

I'd rather be swimming in a heated pool.

outside in the sun in a pool

I'd certainly rather be stroking an actual book than complaining to other bibliophiles who are as blatantly neglecting their charges as I seem to be.

Screw it, I AM going to go read a book. And there's NOTHING else I'd rather be doing. except of course for Luscious Lucas. *slapping myself* *pouring contents of ice bucket down frontal anatomy* *feeling much better, thank you* So there. I am immune to LL's brain-melting charms the growing number of seductive threads on this wicked, wicked work of the devil lishly handsome Luc... *slap* *ow* .

I would like to be back in Cape Town, on the beach or reading a book.

I'd like to (plaintively) ask the moderator of this thread to kindly build a complaint into the heading, along the lines of ... "If I weren't complaining, I'd rather be ..." or "It nettles me to realize that right now I'd rather be ...", so that we don't all endanger our disappointingly good standing in this group by posting a positive-sounding phrase about what we'd rather be doing.

I am annoyed because I have realised that if I wasn't responding to this thread I could actually be reading a book.

READING!!!

IF YOUR ANSWER IS READING INCLUDE WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE WHILE READING

Well, that, I'm displeased to note, about wraps up this thread. No self-respecting member of GR would dare answer differently from Tina now. Way to crash a party.

I'd rather be poking my eyes out with L-c--'- --g j--c- c-c-
a stick than watching Wheel of Fortune right now. But I'll take a vowel. Hell, I'll solve the puzzle just so I can leave.

If I couldn't be reading, I'd rather be receiving a full body hot oil massage.

Oh, well I should have seen that coming. LL swooping in like the angel Gabriel waving his Flaming Sword and changing the rules in a despondent attempt to resuscitate his moribund thread.

So now we'll look forward to an interminable series of READING on beaches and in toilets and on busses and on canoes and while having sex and while having sex in toilets of busses and in canoes on the beach ....

I'd rather be vacationing on a goat farm in Turkmenistan. Or, come to think of it, receiving a full body hot oil massage (I'm sure no one else has thought of that yet!).

napping

*sigh*

taking part in the horizontal mamba with my love.

it was all that nipple talk, wasn't it. :P

I'm lying in bed with my hubby right now waiting for each of us to be done with our tech devices s we can f**k like bunnies.

I'd rather still be sleeping and dreaming about the angel Bagriel prodding me with his flaming sword than sitting here with nursing my morning hxxx-xx cup of coffee.

I'd frankly enjoy this thread even more *grumble* if LL changed the rules again and ordered us to write our responses in the form "I'd rather be .... than ...." which both statements being as outrageous yet weirdly believable as possible.

Good frigging morning all.

say wha...? ahem, does it for me! :P

Gabriel, dammit. Still rubbing the sleep out. And I plainly don't understand some people's fascination with dangerous tropical snakes. Or maybe I do.

In Jerry's bedroom..... only to help him tidy up his tech devices of course!!!!
I'm a woman, I like to tidy.... Why else did you think ???

Exactly :-) There is no other reason...I would rather be anywhere warm where I could freakin' GO OUTSIDE without looking like an Umpa Loompa from all the layers I have to put on.

Lol. Now that's a visual! ;p

Maybe you could use one of the aforementioned tech devices to film said f**king so we have something to do...

Beside any body of water completely free of anyone under the age of 30.

I would rather be taking a helicopter tour over a Hawaiian volcano.

An active one?

Oh yeah!! The orange'er the better

I'd rather NOT be speed-reading this thread for recent messages, having accidentally burned an image of orange Oompa Loompas f**king bunnies with battery-powered devices by a volcanic lake while Macky is frantically trying to corral them so Tina can finally read.

Thats definitely what Id like to be doing if I wasn't so full of complaints.

Git along little orange f***king bunnies ... Yee ha!

I'd rather be cuddling my beautiful baby girl grandkid. But she's in Florida, and I'm not. This is a collage I did of her:

Oh she's precious ... I'd love to cuddle her too. That's beautiful Fangtasia.

Finish the family packing so we can hit the road to the indoor water park resort! (We leave in the a.m!)

I'd also rather be spending my time with the rest of the family, alas one of them is in Venice (not the one with the ears, he's here, but cranky).

Aww cute.... The dogs lovely too!

Is that you G or one of your family? :)

I'd rather be watching all my favorite gay romances and an endless number of new ones that have somehow been made into wonderful movies I could watch for free at home in bed.

My hubby JL and Tintin, our "first-born" (16 years, like our life together).

Thank you, Macky. Can't wait to see her, I'm going in a couple of weeks.

Fangtasia, she is adorbs to the extreme. You are very blessed!

Thanks G. Tintin looks a sweetie and JL verrry nice!! Lucky you.
Where's your piccy? Sorry I'm getting completely off thread here so I'll say I'd rather be cuddling Tintin because he looks so cute! So does JL but he's taken.... ;)

Elizabetta wrote: "Fangtasia, she is adorbs to the extreme. You are very blessed!"

Yes, Eliz, I am and I know. Thanks!

@G, handsome pair! I can see how Tintin (and you) would be cranky, missing his other Daddy.

No wonder you'd rather be there, she's a little treasure and so beautiful. I'm getting all gooey.

Yes, absolutely adorable, the only reason why I immediately and competitively pulled out my snapshots too!

Macky wrote: "No wonder you'd rather be there,..."

She's even more of a treasure than usual, because all of my daughter's relationships since she turned 16 were with women. Then last year she tells me she's dating a guy and voila! A grandkid!

See what happens when you get a bunch of us cooing over snapshots, no one else gets a word in edgewise. Sorry LL, you know I'm your champion! Go gaymance TV!

not that there's anything wrong with THAT, we all hasten to add ... but I totally understand ... ;)

You're right G, sorry Lucas!

One of my friends here in GR has several gorgeous gay romance videos in his profile. One of them is called, I think, 100 best gay kisses. My favorite!

Let me see if I can find it and I'll post the reference here, for your enjoyment.

ETA: It's on Justin South's author profile, his videos page. Here: http://www.goodreads.com/videos/list_...

Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing your family with us.
Cranky Tintin, probably with a "size" queen complex?

Thanks, Jerry. I am hopelessly in love.

No, nothing whatsoever. Heck, I have most of her ex-girlfriends as friends on my FB page, and one of them here in GR. But I did figure I'd never get grandkids, it's not easy and every expensive to do artificial insemination or adopt.

I'd rather not have to point out to Fang' and everyone else that we've been running roughshod over LL's Rules since the darling toddler and snarky dog appeared (kids & pets on stage - chaos ensues). Which is fine, since I'm feeling quite snarky myself (he knows why).

And I'd certainly rather be reassuring Fang' that there wasn't a shimmer of doubt that she was speaking out of love and proud grandparenthood, as well she should. :D
