Now donuts and canoli – the canoli from the Italian bakery just up the street.

And I've placed Sara's sprinklies and her Atlanta sports section in her hidey hole, and stashed others away for Linda, BG…and Harley and Lilly, if you, uh, ladies promise to behave yourselves!

And none of this, "I couldn't control myself" crap. As a Dom, I know how to train that out of you if you get out of hand, OK?

Take care all – and be good to one another, or I'll turn Harley, Lilly and Jeff loose on you, got it?

Boom, Jeff where are you? Wakey, Wakey. (As I sweep up last nights raisins and try to salvage some for later)  

Hi Angel, Sara, Gracieanne, Elyse and da Bear!! Fli….. James my flicking finger has a mind of it’s own, I swear.

Where’s my partner is fruit shenanigans? Boom? Hello?  

Hope everyone is having a great day! So excited to see more features roll out eventually that personalize the experience but I have to say Lush 2.0 is growing on me like fungus. Hmmm maybe not the best metaphor for the thought, but you know what I mean.  

James give me your favorite drink to make. Feeling adventurous!  

Flick. (Scurries to go pick it up) Couldn’t help myself.

Jeff a mere snap of your fingers and we digress.

Young women flicking a raisin 

Are nothing short of amazin’

They tremble in place

Shoot their fruit into space

And land them into a basin.

Sorry, not much rhymes with raisin. I was gonna have them check into a Day’s Inn which, while a clever rhyme, is just plain silly. Kis is no doubt groaning in response. And not in the good way.

Coffee please.

(Flick.)

JEFFERS! Lilly and I are trying to behave in order to get alcohol. If you get us into bother, one of us is going to have to put out.

NO MORE FLICKING RAISINS!

........

Lillyyyyy, I think we should drink again. 

I think withholding sugary yummies from raisin-flickers is definitely discriminatory and just all sorts of wrong! (Flick)

Quote by techgoddess

I think I just stepped on a raisin. I wonder where that came from?

Just popping in for some tea before I start my day. 

Rachel is right (when isn't she?). We just all need to be patient with this transition. It's frustrating for EVERYONE. 

(Is it too early in the day for a drink instead...oh wait, that's why they make mimosas!)

(Flick)

James thanks for letting us back in the cool kids coffee group this morning. You know you are our favorite polar bear. 

Boom I brought in a bulk supply of raisins. Let the flicking resume!! (Flick)

Hi peeps!

Just checking in to see how (Flick) everyone’s day is going. Today has been a supercool day and it has me so ready for Fall. Think I will have some hot chocolate with Bailey’s to celebrate the beautiful weather. (Flick) So Boom, who is on cleaning duty first, I nominate Jeff. (After the passive aggressive raisin in the Moscato ordeal)

Okie dokie, off to find something to read. I have neglected reading this week as I have just spent time exploring Lush 2.0. Still a bit lost but finding it better each day. Happy Lushing everyone.

Flick.

(Flick.)

I shall flick where I please. I read once about how you could visualize the expansion of the universe as a loaf of rising bread, with raisins embedded in it! So as the bread rises, the raisins move farther away from each other. Get it? We are the raisins!!! Every raisin discarded is a miniature genocide Every raisin you clean up, every raisin thrown prematurely into the trash, every raisin discarded and abandoned due to fear of the fascist jackboots of cleanliness and conformity leads to a raisinous extinction event! The horror! The horror! Choose life! Free the raisin!

(Flick. Flick. Flick.)   

Sorry about the insomnia, Boomer. Lilly, you are trapped there too? Perhaps a raisin deficiency at work?

A coffee would be swell.

No coffee for you, raisin-flicker!

As for jackboots – well, I'd really, REALLY like to see you try and put  them on a 9' tall, 1800 pound apex predator – meaning ME!

And your notions of cleanliness are about as cogent as your understanding about cosmology – which is to say somewhere between SLIM and NONE!

"Free the fucking RAISIN?" What are you, some kind of silly conspiracy disseminator? Next you'll be telling us to take horse pills to prevent raisin-itis or some equally foolish crap.

Man (or is it tortoise?), you really have gone off the deep end!

So, NO COFFEE FOR YOU! I think you've had enough, um, stimulation for one day.

James can one ever truly have too much stimulation? Just saying. 

Is it too early for Moscato? (Without raisins please)

Quote by JamesLlewellyn

Here are two cups of coffee, plus some donuts for you … ladies.

And you WILL be ladies, won't you, hmmmm?

James the sprinkley donuts are delicious today. Or is that the sweet taste of revenge? Either way it’s yummy. 

James do I still get coffee in time out? 

Sending everyone extra hugs today for hump day. Halfway to the weekend!!

Hi fam!

Ready for my funny story about Lush? I practiced posting two pictures at once on a profile, this took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out. I finally figure it out and told my husband to check out his profile. Needless to say the pictures were not there. After trying to figure out how I posted to someone else, I FINALLY found them….on my profile. That is how Lush 2.0 is going. (Flick)

Hope everyone is having a great day! Boom, I will absolutely help clean up raisins! (Flick)

*flings a fusillade of raisins, ducks behind Terrence*

Oh, good morning everyone. It's cold and it's raining here today, just like the normal Scottish weather I'm used to (lines up raisins along the bar). How is everyone today? Sleep isn't being my friend, so whilst I did bring the coffee James, I will not be partaking in it today. Which is going to be utterly miserable given that I started at 8am and I'm on until 11pm. Woo. (flicks raisin at Jeff) Anyhoos, Ima be in the chatrooms a bit again today, just doing my thang... feel free to come stop by. 

Quote by Lilly
Bring on the raisin war!     :worship:  I am totally prepared as I have a Sams nearby that sells in bulk. Boom I heard about the raisin covered barstool, well played my friend. I am getting more accommodated to the new chat room layout, it’s not too bad at all.

Hope everyone is having a great day! Vodka lemonade for me please. 

 

Do you think we should have a strategy meeting, Lilly? My plan today is basically just to flick raisins at Jeff at regular intervals. (Flick). I haven't slept, so it might not be the most inspired plan! 

*Hugs James* come now Mr Bear, we'll get there, keep it together sweet man! We gotchoo!

Sigh. May I have some water with ice ice ice please? Thanking you... *sits glaring at the stupid water. Flicks five raisins at Jeff*.

On a serious note, insomnia is the worst. I don’t know about you but I get sleep anxiety after a couple of days of insomnia. I actually get anxious at bedtime because of the fear I will struggle again that night. Insomnia sucks!  

James, everything looks great this morning! Thanks for all you do! Can I have a hot tea to start the day. Glad you got a support ticket made. I know how frustrating it is when things don’t work so I hope they get you fixed right up. 

Hello to everyone else. Happy Tuesday!! :worship:

How do you edit your posts? Lol also for some reason I cannot post images. I'm really not loving this new lush. 

It's the little downwards arrow at the lower right - click it and you get Edit and sometimes delete.

Making the list is half the fun! I'll start - the delightfully over-the-top Drag Me to Hell, 2009.

It's Monday and I already can't wait for this week to be over.

More coffee! 

Have you watched Sleepaway camp yet? If not my life goal is to make everyone watch it so if you haven't that goes on the list.

I just want lush to go back to normal

Congrats on the win btw. ❤ ❤ ❤

Your story was in my top 3 favourites that I read.

Friend

Seems very witty, that’s a good trait to have.

:worship::worship::worship::worship:

Sooooooooooo. I've been hyper ALL DAY. I've practiced my ninja raisin throwing skills, Lilly and I are so ready for you, Jeff. Right, Lilly? Lilly?? 

Had some good chats with folk today, though a bit of a weird experience in one of the rooms which was, well,  weird. 

I haven't had coffee except for the pot I had this morning, I finished that at the back of 12. I made pizzas for dinner tonight,  they turned out pretty well! My dough still isn't as thin as I hoped it would be. Sigh. 

Thanks friends who have popped in to the chatrooms and said hello! It's been really nice. We had a few newbies join us today, so yay! 

I guess I'll just drink water... aye, but not cooncil juice. I'll have it chilly baltic cold and can I maybe have a bit of chocolate? Without the caffeine, I need the sugar.

James, I brought one of my most favourite coffee in the world for BB tomorrow, treat these bad boys well  ..... 

Hope everyone is having a great day! Vodka lemonade for me please.

Just peeking in. Today was the first Sunday of NFL season and my team (Chiefs) pulled off a nail biter! I need a drink, whatever Boom is having is usually a safe bet!

I am sorry so many are still struggling with the changes, I am finding myself settling in more each day. Not getting emails when anyone publishes is my biggest complaint but it will get sorted out. 

Quiet weekend here so no complaints, sending big hugs to anyone who needs one. 

Right now, I'm having insomnia. 😭 I hate this. It means no real coffee. Why, why!?

I’ll join you in a bottle of Bucky. It’s been that sort of day 

Cheers everyone 

Lethal. I'll fetch the bucket then, at least I'm not in it alone. Hiiiiii

I’m happy to share a glass with you both 

Oh Adrian, it's a bottle each pal. Enjoy the dodgy awfulness that is this delicacy - chin chin! 

Great to see you today too Boom! It seems like Michelle has a great room. That was only my second time peeking into chat since the switch. I think I could get used to the layout though! 

Hi peeps 😊

I hope everyone is spending today exactly the way they want. I woke up with a heavy heart and immediately knew what the date was. 

James, Lidia, Carlton, Elyse, Kimmi, Boom, Michelle KaliLeigh and everyone else sending everyone big hugs today.

Boom, is it just me or does a raisin flicking war sound like a great way to rid the world of a few dozen raisins? 

Hot chocolate for me too with a shot of Baileys. 

Quote by KimmiBeGood

Hi Rumpies  

I shall be standing today due to a Spanktacular event last night! Thanks again, Kis, for the promotional poster and aftercare.

In other news, lil Kimmi's heart is broken for my son. His fiance dumped him ... decided Atlanta was not for her. I would rather someone hurt me than my son. You parents out there understand

I need hot chocolate, triple the marshmallows, please. I'll be standing in the corner if anyone needs me.

If y’all want ’em, the complete list of Lush® 2.0 chatroom emoticons (as of September 9, 2021) are here.

Like the original post or copy the URL there to get back to them.  They should work nearly everywhere on this site.

Enjoy.

If you want to make a new post with them in the help desk thread, I can sticky it

This would be awesome!!!!! Not that I'm emoji obsessed. But I am though. Really. 

:worship: :worship: :worship: TheTravellingMan - Congratulations!!!!!! :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: 

Are we on the rum tonight Lilly? Tequila??? Please say tequila....

Jeff, to be clear, I was never going to be consuming the raisins! Enjoy your play!!!!!!!!

Good afternoon everyone. Glad to see so many people milling about. I am going to do some light reading this afternoon and a vodka and lemonade would be sublime. 

Hugs to everyone, be in the corner if anyone needs me! 

Quote by JamesLlewellyn

Well, good morning campers! I see people have slumped into their normal places, so I'm guessing we all need some kind of caffeine-and-sugar stimulant, so let's make it march! In September!

The lovely, sparkling Tea Kettle is now filled and hissing away, ready to provide your infusion teas – even gerbil teas like ginger-lemon, which Lady Jay drinks – plus our usual fine and varied selection.

We have Swiss Miss hot chocolate sachets + mini-marshmallows for those with a chocolate-death wish.

And I'll just slide these donuts and cream-filled canoli on the bar for those who feel the need to pad their waistline further. Me? (pats stomach) I'm padded enough – for now.

Now, Big Bertha … (doobie doobie do…la la la la la …strangers in the night… eat your heart out, blue eyes)

OK, I've removed yesterday's sludge and saved it for the Carlissimo, leader of the line animals, rinsed out BB, refilled her with the finest tap water, reassembled her, now beans. When I was out getting the pastries, I stopped in at the local 2nd Cup in Toronto and picked up some beans… so, 2 cups of coarse ground…close her up, pat her nozzle, slip the slitch, and…BINGO! she's a perkin' away!

Coffee goodness is on the way. Ladies and members of Kimmi's Spanking Club first, please. I suspect they'll need some…fortifying after last night's, um, affair!

And, of course, I brought Sara's Atlanta sports section. Her Braves are hangin' in there, so she should be happy! That, plus she sprinkley donuts are in her hidey-hole. And donuts have been put aside for the others of the Sweet Set, including Linda, Kimmi, BG, Lily, and Harley.

BTW, Harley, if you'd like to bring in some coffee beans, that would be great. Just either post them here, or send them to me in a PM - or whatever it is now.

Indeed if ANYONE wants to bring in their favourite beans, your wealth of knowledge would be appreciated. After all, Bears don't need coffee – we're already irresisible, right? RIGHT?

Y'know, I can unplug Big Bertha if I don't get a louder chorus of support here!

hunh

I will have a shot of NyQuil please. Watching the NFL game and then gonna count sheep. I am liking the new format more each day and as problems get resolved. 

Cheers🍷 & sweet dreams everyone.

Hi all, hi JamesLlewellyn thanks for inviting me.....

First time on a forum in the last 14 years.....

I think I can have that drink..... a shot of vodka will help
