The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

In life it is the people closest to us that dissapoints us the most. Mothers, Fathers, sisters, brothers, friends etc. Just how much better of the world would be if all those people sat down and thought about their actions in depth and see how shallow they have become. If everyone did this, there would be more people happy, Mothers would be re-united with their daughters, Fathers with their sons, etc and then we can truly say that the world grooves.



Talking about Mothers, we may not see eye to eye all the time but I still love her and wouldn't change her for anything else n the world. We sat down today and booked a cruise holiday together in 2010. Destination the Carribean :) I am really happy that my first visit there is with my Mother. God Bless her, and thank God for her helping to make me the Christian person that I am in so much that I don't perscute others but rather still care for those that may dislike me.

Like you, I don't always agree with my mother, but I love her dearly and wouldn't trade her for the world. We're very lucky to have our mothers around still. *hugs*

Tonight it is a straight hour of body pump (weights) and a hour of Groove FX (whatever that is!) Some sort of aerobic dance.and the first session is tonight so my friends and I are hitting it! I will write about it later :) Hey. I am developing muscles on my peanuts heh! :) Off to my gym now, thank you Fitness First for not going bust!

Haha, Adele called earlier today and talked me into going to a Groove FX Dance class on Thursday evening..that sounds like it will be worth a laugh or two!! Oh, la la leotard and ballet pumps here I come! Perish the thought of that!! teehee!

I have built my castle in real life and filled it with the warmth of friends all around me and quantify my success by the loving bond that exists between us, the fact my kitchen is never empty, my food cupboard is never bare, my pockets are never empty, the phone never stops ringing, and I rub shoulders with the “best “in real life, and virtual life.





If I measured my success in life by how many friends and what position that I have in Vampire Rave then I would be a very shallow person and unsuccessful in real life..Well, unless of course if I owned Vampire Rave! which I don’t! I am blessed by the quality of the few friends I do have on here and one day we will make it all very “real” :)



Generally speaking in life I have found it is those people who admonish drama that like nothing better than to start it and usually try to exaggerate it to their own advantage. I tend to drop or avoid people who act that way, or those who use people for their own advantage or self-promotions.



Am I happy? Yes, of course I am – my time here is limited because of a gruelling work and study schedule and with the social integrations with my friends, family and charity work, but then this (VR) is only a stone in the ocean... umm isn’t it?

Shame.on.you. for valuing our friendship so cheaply. I am dissapointed and beginning to believe what a lot of people say about you.

Out of all the hundreds of help questions I have got right over the years on Vampire Rave in my roles of Dominar, Procurator and Acolyte, and a question that is consistently being asked is, "How do I level up?" Wouldm't it be nice when members sign up that their welcome contains a description of that? Not that I mind answering their question but it would give new members a clear vision of the status game on arrival to the Rave :)



Whats next in the forum..maybe an Acolyte help thread where most of the common queries are posted and replied to :)



For those who drop by and don't know how to increase your status, here is your answer :)



Increase your time spent, your page view, your database submissions and ratings. Remember to you can also help increase your level by referring friends too!

It's been so long since I've set up a new profile I can't remember but doesn't it say to read the VR Manual? If not that definitely needs to be up there.



I suppose if it is then people who ask that question, in my opinion, really don't deserve an answer. They should have figured it out for themselves if it's up there. Of course I'm mean like that lol.



This is one reason why you're such a great person, you take the time to explain things like this.

On the grand scale of things, this is insignificant. I never asked her to remove it, but what I said was as good as asking her to... How people comprend that is entirely up to them. I made a mistake, but who the hell gets it right all of the time. I learn and move on.

It is preposterous that here I am living in Ireland, and I can't get a hotel that isn't booked in central Dublin for St. Patricks day in 2010! Sheesh, I need a lucky leprechaun..anyone know where I might get one? There is a recession going in Ireland it seems!

Same thing goes for people living in New Orleans in regards to Mardi Gras. Hotels can be booked by other by over a year in advance- and the rates are astronomical.

It is all tough work but so worth it! Most days I challenge myself at a 1,000 calorie loss.. some days I don't achieve that, but most days I do =) It depends on my time schedule as mostly a 1,000 calorie loss work out equates to two hours gym-work a day! The Powerplate is a super tool too in tightening the muscles and giving shape :) Mind you, the vibration is severe so I only operate that three times a week but it is good operating that is minutes instead of hours!

Nagging wife up for sale

7 mins ago



A builder became so fed up with his wife's nagging that he put her up for sale in a trade magazine. Skip related content

Related photos / videos Nagging wife up for sale It situation came to a head when Garry Bates' wife Donna snapped at him as she watched Dancing on Ice.



The 38-year-old, from Ebley, near Stroud, Gloucestershire, placed the unusual advert in Trade-It, describing his spouse as: "Nagging Wife. No Tax, Not MOT. Very high maintenance - some rust."



Mrs Bates, 40, was put in the Free to Collect section of the magazine where he also advertised his fishing tackle.



Despite the less-than-flattering pitch, Mr Bates was inundated with calls from men offering to take her off his hands.



"I didn't think anyone would ring up but I've had at least nine or ten people calling about her. It's gone mad. There was no one I knew - just people asking, 'Is she still available?'," he said.



"She was nagging me for doing something small, while she was watching some rubbish on TV. So I just thought I'd put an ad in to get rid of her. She's seen the funny side of it now though!"



The self-employed builder said his wife laughed at the anonymous advert before realising she was the one on special offer.



She gave him "a bit of an ear-bashing" after the prank was revealed, he admitted.



But the pair, who married last June, were soon laughing together about it.



Mr Bates is now on his guard as his wife, who works for a plumbing firm in Gloucester, is out for revenge.



She said: "I don't think I do nag him - we're newlyweds. He just doesn't do what I want him to, that's all.



"If you get offended by something like that you shouldn't really be married, should you? I accepted it as the joke it was.



"I'd been watching Dancing on Ice and he was on his computer because he doesn't like it and gets bored. The next week I was looking through the magazine because my son's Playstation was in there.



"I said to him, 'Someone's put their wife in there! That wasn't you, was it?' He just smiled because he's a dark horse. I couldn't believe it.



"Revenge will be sweet though, and I've got something planned for him soon."



The couple married last year but have been together for six years. They have two children each, from previous marriages.

My birthday was a really happy fun filled occassion! We went away for Sunday and Monday and stayed in Portaferry overnight at the hotel just opposite Strangford Lough :) It was truly a lovely place.



He.. played with the Canon, and I got to the shops later in Belfast :) I bought nothing, and received no gifts for my birthday from Dom, but the time we spent together was better than anything he could of wrapped. I loved every moment :)



Later we went to the Japenese restaurant in Belfast.. man, they are costly! but I enjoyed watching the Chef throwing the knifes in the air as he cooked our dinner at the table!

I remember in the distant past being raised in an environment were bombs, bullets and guns were considered a part of living. It was taken forgranted that another day would bring another killing or bomb spree, and you pulled the blankets up over your head to drown out the noise of the explosion with the usual sirens and rush of rapid response teams. It was ironic that you became tolerant of such things and accepted them as a "way of life"



All such living was put aside as the Peace Agreement flourised, and as a society we progressed to be accepting of other beliefs. We had peace for twelve years until this weekend when soldiers were cut down in cold blood whilst off duty, and a policeman was murdered...



Whilst going to work this morning the lull of peace had been eroded by dissidents as road blocks had been set up again. Fear struck a chord in my heart as the policemen stood in the side of the road armed with rifles in support of officers carrying out the road checks.



A complete throw-back to bad times.. my hand shook on the steering wheel as the policeman waved me on by as I wondered along with the community here in Northern Ireland if we are going to slip back into the dark times again. I sincerely, sincerely hope not.

I was beginning to think I was doomed to have DVT like my sister had. My left leg hurt so much and had swollen to an incredible size that it was difficult to walk. So, as much as I loathe going to the surgery I did yesterday morning..



I can smile... *spinning* n' working out at the gym apparently affected my entire quad muscle the whole way up and down on the affected leg. I got some meds, wow..they are great! I regret cancelling yesterday's audit, but gosh the pain was too intense. I could walk today, and able to drive! :)



Swelling reduced today by 4 to 5 cms! Incredible medication! the anti-inflammatories really agreed with me :) and well.. it's just a numbness now..

And yes, from phrases.org.uk: 'Plumb tuckered out' is somewhat later and the first example I have is from the Cedar Rapids Evening Gazette, February 1889:"They'll get plumb tuckered out waitin."

I have heard how the French do it, now read how the Georgies do it!!



A woman bit off her boyfriend's tongue during a drunken kiss on his birthday, a court has heard.



Tracy Davies bit off her boyfriend's tongue during a drunken kiss Newcastle Crown Court heard Tracy Davies, 40, who denies causing grievous bodily harm with intent, bit down hard on Mark Coghill's tongue during the kiss and cut the front third of it off.



Jurors were told Davies had been in a relationship with Mr Coghill for nearly four months after they met through a lonely hearts column and they were out celebrating his 45th birthday on October 10 last year when the incident occurred.



The court heard they had gone to a local supermarket, buying two bottles of vodka and food for the evening, before going to a pub together.



They later returned to Mr Coghill's Newcastle home, but as the evening progressed Davies grew upset because she wanted to have a baby but was not pregnant.



As Mr Coghill moved to comfort her, she asked him to kiss her with his tongue. The court heard that when he did so, she bit it off.



Julian Smith, prosecuting, told the jury: "She told him she loved him, she asked him to kiss her using his tongue. He did so and within a few seconds, she bit down hard on his tongue.



"Obviously this caused him pain, he pulled back, and the tongue had come clean off in her mouth. She had the piece of tongue in her mouth, he saw her take it from her mouth, and it fell to the floor."



Mr Coghill fell asleep while the pain subsided but was woken by Davies biting his elbow, Mr Smith told the court. He said Mr Coghill pushed her away and she called an ambulance to the flat, who in turn alerted the police.



He added that Davies was surprised when police arrested her moments later, telling officers: "You're joking!"
