I am glad to hear everything is well with you and your clad. Spring does seem to be showing, so we will probably be getting a lot of rain soon, but that also means summer will be coming soon after.


I do not think that would do any good. The people down repping people and complaining don't care about how nice a person is. They will keep down repping you no matter what. So if it would only upset you, perhaps you should not post your list.

I am sorry to say this but that will not help at all. The down-reps do not care for something like that at all and only go on downrepping even more *big hug*
(and I have to admit I was stupid I thought you did not have a wishlist since it was under your shelf as I realised just now *duh*)

Hi DD, I'm not going to ramble on here because I think you probably know me well enough by now to know how I feel about your news.
It's times like this that I really dislike the internet. Wish I could offer a real hug rather than a virtual one.
Afraid this is the best I can do for now.
* Great big bearhug *

Hello, Endre!

Thank you for the big hug. Don't worry about a real life hug, a virtual one is just as nice, and I have my partner for real life hugs.

*return big hug*

How are you? Did you enjoy the Insomnia sale?

I'm good, and yes the sale was nice and I got some great things. I was amazed that they ended it early though. ;)

*extra big hug for one of the most crazy gifters here*

I'm not the one that stated that they had started to rethink their stance.


It's going to be a rocky road, but I think she's fairly prepared for it. Thank you for the kind wishes, I will pass them along, as I always do, and see if she'd accept a hug too. ;-)

Is there such a thing as a must have game when one has a backlog?


Death always splits one's life in periods of "before" and "after", exactly because of the change to one's outlook on life. Everything you say is fine, but see my reply to Stilton bellow; that's what I was referring to.


Then I must have not given it either. My father died in an accident over twenty years ago, and I've still not found a satisfying answer to "Why" he had to at that time and so young; he was perfectly healthy and had many good years ahead of him.

Hiya Moon! :-)
* hug back *

Did they end it early? Was it dragging on again?


I don't recall saying I was rethinking my stance, just that I would not take part in the next Secret Santa. I am open to accepting gifts now, just not as part of the Secret Santa.


Well you make sure it's a good hug. I am a great hugger, and I don't want you passing on hugs that don't live up to that. :-)

Okay, so no must have games, but were there any game you really would have liked to play?



I am sorry to hear about your father. *biggest comfort hug*

I can understand you point of view, just as I can understand Stilton's. It's always horrible when someone with a long life ahead of them dies. As to a satisfied answer as to why? Who knows, I don't think there are answers, just questions. What you just wrote reminds me of a conversation I had over the weekend with my brother's wife, they are both trying to come to terms with why it happened.

Maybe you haven't.

Yes they did, not sure when but I was very surprised not to see it still Keaning when I woke up this morning.

According to reports I read it was stopped around 6 CET this morning :-)

I am so sad that I missed it. I would have loved throwing gifts at everyone in this thread. :-(

Up until now there is still no official explanation. Most people assume that they killed of the sale at a fixed time to stop it dragging on. But it is just speculation. I honestly do not mind it much except for the fact that someone from the gog team could have told us by now what happened.
