Hi Helen! Welcome to the artfreaks.com Art Forums and I hope you will enjoy yourself here! If you are able to make some regular contributions, you will be among the founding members of these forums! So far, the only regular contributor is Mr. Mongskie (and he gets paid for it!!!) - with the occasional post from Asbjorn Lonvig, Eduardo and my eldest daughter, Chai (who is also a moderator.) All the rest come and go! One post And you never hear from them again... As I write this, the whole site is in upheaval as it is in a transition stage between its old home on tierra.net servers and its new home at IPS (same people who produce the software for these forums) The forums seem to be functioning OK, so far but the galleries are not working properly yet. But that will hopefully be sorted out in the next few hours... By the way, I moved your topic from "Members and Guests advertisements." It's fine here!!

Coffee and golf balls sound good to me!!! Pebbles are a bonus, I guess?!!

Back online now but they (my very soon to be changed-out hosting providers,) forced me to delete my entire "Anything Goes!" (Coppermine) gallery - art, general photography, pictures of dogs - the bloody lot... The database, all of the members. EVERYTHING is gone. FUCK!! That is about the only word that adequately describes the situation. A good word, that one! It's one of the truly great words that the English language has to offer! I've never yet come across another word in any other language that has quite the same expressive force as FUCK!!! If anyone can prove me wrong, I'd love to hear about it!! By the way, I am not sure if my information is correct but I was once told that the word "FUCK" derives from an abbreviation of: "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge"? (Apparently, in the old days, when local magistrates were one of the few people in town who could actually write - and some of them weren't very good at it - they used to use the abbreviation F.U.C.K., when making an entry in the court record book for someone who had just been sent down for rodgering their neighbour's wife, daughter or anyone else that they weren't supposed to devote so much attention to...) Another good word that... "Rodgering!!!!!!!
