Great cake, Scrappy. I hope I left enough for everyone else.
I enjoyed the fairytale too, Eirene. I've never heard it before.
Think I'll just hang out for awhile tonight. Save my table in the corner. Got tons of laundry to do, (how do two little kids produce such large quantities of dirty clothes?). Also, a bit of cleaning. Ok, more than a bit. I was supposed to do it during the day, but got sidetracked. So easy for me to do whenever cleaning is involved, (like now). I'll probably stop in from time to time tonight to get some refreshments. Cleaning takes lots of energy, you know.

I honestly cannot even imaginechaving children to pick up after I can barely keep up with my own mess.
I sometimes look at the pile of laundry and think how can one single women amass so much laundry and so quickly?!
So as a small reward for being a dedicated mom and more effiecent housecleaner than I - sit back and have a Baileys on me.

Who the heck are you talking about, Xie? <looks around> An effecient housecleaner? Ha! If I were, I would not be busting butt to try to get the house clean at the last minute before company arrives. No, surely you are talking of someone else.
I'll have that Bailey's though! Thanks!

Thank you very much Eirene for the story. It was really interesting to hear the differances in the versions. I like your version. It's simpler somehow. Anyway thank you for telling it.
Anyway it's been a long week think I'll put my feet up and have a Jack. OOOh maybe a snifter of Chamboard........do we have that here?
Anyone else want to jump in with their favorite Fairy tales? I love stories.

isn´t necessary to thank me, scrappy! I´m glad to help you and if you can better sleep now...than is it a great result! Or what do you think? Do you wanna listen another fairytale? What do you think about "The brave taylor" ? Do you know it? By the way, phalon i´m 100% agree with you. As you know, i´ve two little sons too and the mountains of Nepal are nothing to my mountains of dirty clothes. On the other hand - a life without my two little "monsters" i can´t that imagine for myself. Have a nice day Eirene

Revelations by Phalon
Revelation Number One: If my life were as disorganized as my tupperware cupboard, I'd be in big trouble.
Revelation Number Two: I let my kids play in the tupperware cupboard, like my life. They both sometimes get messy.
Revelation Number Three: Who cares? <shrugs> What's life without a little mess.
Ok, back to cleaning. Think my company will look into the tupperware cupboard?
Welcome Dixielandyankee. Great weekend to everyone.

Revelation one: I didn't know anyone was organised enough to have a whole cupboard full of tupperware...hats off to you Phalon! I have a single tupperware box for my lunch which I take to work and the boys steal to make microwave noodles in...curse them!

Hey Eirene! Nice story,can't remember that one, from the time I was a child In Germany. xengab It´s a most unknown fairytale from Germany. Also too " The foresthouse "! Most famous fairytales are something like "Snowwhite", "Cinderella" and many more. But it makes me happy, if you like the fairytale. Eirene

Ok Eirene...I've got two days off in a row! Let's hear another. Maybe one we might not have heard. Then Maybe I'll tell my favorite. Thanks for the shots by the way...good thing I'm not working. Maybe we should ask Lesignergirl or Joxcenia or Melodic Mistress if we should start a whole thread just for Fairytales. Everyone can give their favorites and maybe come up with some new ones? Any votes?

It depends on what you're into, Blue. We have great coffee here, or the usual tavern drinks for the 21 and over crowd. Since we also have cookies, cakes, and pie, you might want some milk to go with it instead. What would you like?

There's ale/rootbeer. Wine/red grape juice. Cocktails/Mocktails... Whatever's your pleasure.

Howdy everyone! I really want to start with.............Check out what Melodic Mistress did for me today...need a hint look at my new signature. Isn't it the greatest thing...............I just want to say........thanks, and anything M&M wants from Cyrene's is on my tab........for at least a month, maybe two.
Blue-They always keep a bottle of Jack for me, I'd be happy to share. I also found an old dusty bottle of Chamboard if you like the expensive stuff. *PSSST whispers real low* there's also ice cream in the back for those really bad days.
Hey Eirene looks like I got my wish...wanna start a Fairytale thread? We can all trade favorites.
*puts her feet up on the table, grabs a bowl of ice cream* Hope every one has a great night. Thanks again M&M!

Whew! <slumps into a comfy chair somewhere in the middle of the room> I'm so tired I could sleep on a galloping hedgehog! Serves me right for staying out too late last night! Having said that, mine's a JD and coke please Xengab, so good to meet someone else from the UK. How's everyone? I'm off to not-so-sunny Scotland tomorrow for 2 weeks, hence I might disappear due to lack of net access...boo.

All these newcomers... Welcome
Just out of curiosity... does this tavern serve rice? (My three daily meals include rice)
And I overheard someone saying that we have milk and cookies?
Mmm, could you send a batch over here? ;D

If Cyrene doesn't have it, she'll get it for you... LucyStar is Cyrene's Assistant... And there _were_ some barmaids that worked here ages ago, but I forgot their names.
This thread started back on Oxygen's Xena boards... then it moved to ezWhoosh when O2 phased out the message boards and chat rooms:
Zfan liked to start food fights, which Cyrene & LucyStar abhorred... so she started her own version of Cyrene's:
The original wasn't brought over from the OxyXena board... ...don't know why.
If you enjoyed Cyrene's scrapbook thread, here are the rest in order:
And here is Z's Place 2...
And then Zfan started an ongoing scroll of her own:
Zfan's been extremely busy of late, so she visits with us very seldom these days... she met GirlPower while on the OxyXena message boards and GP moved in with her... then she joined the police force.... and so she doesn't have much time for us anymore.

Wow. Seems like quite an establishment! I think I'll jump on the pie ala mode train. Sounds FABULOUS!
Got a room with a view of anything spectacular? I do so love a view.
