Axis Mundi X discussion

Hi there. I have been lurking a while and enjoying all the chat so I thought I would join. I have a bookshop and temporarily (I hope) defunct cafe on a tiny Caribbean island where I live in the rainforest. There isn't anything to do here and even if there was I haven't got any money so I'm online all the time. I'm the sort of person you would probably say should get a life (and you'd be right). I hope its ok to join your group.

Hi Petra! How fabulous of a life! I know you are probably thinking, ah yes, the grass is always greener somewhere else... but I have been to the Caribbean and I can say living a life in that gorgeous place sounds heavenly.

Welcome to Axis! Very pleased to have your voice among us.

Welcome to Petra...

(poor woman doesn't know we're already angling for visits)

It is kind of living a dream, living in the Caribbean and owning a bookshop. But the downside is that everything is expensive and there aren't enough people here to do more than break-even in a bookshop. I love going to London or Miami (which I do whenever I can afford it)and going to malls

Koeeoaddi - I can't afford to hire anyone else but I'm looking for a partner for the cafe!

I knew you couldn't resist me, Petra. Welcome.

Welcome, Petra! Uh, which island was that again?

Cyril - I do love the comments of your's I've seen around but I don't quite understand this one.

Hi Petra! Lovely to have you here.

Just a bad joke, Petra. Think nothing of it.

Petra, how could you?!

Everybody, she voted for NADER in our GR poll.

I blame him for the last 8 years!

I voted for Nader because I commented on a review concerning the Madonna of the North, she who can see Russia from her kitchen, and was screwed over in a page long diatribe that I was not an American and had no real knowledge of the situation or of Americans and had no right at all to criticise America. I read the first two paragraphs and got bored but that was the gist of it. So I voted for Obama and wrote more or less what I just have but longer. The moderator deleted my comment, so my protest was a vote for Nader. Us iconoclasts must stick together. So buy me a lollipop and I'll suck on it.

Or stupid! heh I've found many non-Americans to have more knowledge about what is going on here than most Americans.

Have a lollipop Petra. Or would you like some cake?

Can't suck cake.

*slurrrrrp*
