Ok Christmas is just about all over for me all I have to do is clean myself up

( I scrub up quite well for an anciano ) and go next door for a "gay and hearty'

there will be some of your soap favourites there I might strike it lucky and

sweep up a desperate sheila in need of T L C . But here I am on SD so I was

wondering as is my wont , does Christmas day really sort out the truly fanatical

Spanishdictahollicks from the also-rans ? I have noticed a few desperate

characters but not the " usual suspects" so have the holidays sorted out the

Aficionados from the run of the mill ,Quien es aquí hoy y alla mañana.

Perhaps by the time that Uncle Arthur has told the same old joke he has

told for the past 50 years , Aunty Maud has caught out Hubby groping the

visiting chorister , and the kids are driving you to drink with their constant

squabbles, and how much "white christmas do you want to eat" you have

already gone up 2 dress sizes , maybe then we will see a trickle of the old

tried and trusted favourites , Heidis " usual susspects" and then SD will start to

bubble and ferment as few human ingrediants can except here on SD..

Come back I forgive your indulgences , I will even forgive the red stains down

the front of your Christian Lacroix or Pier Balmain, Just get into the word of the day , and where is the piccy of the day ? Once you start you will remember how to do it

It's like riding a motor bike backwards with your eyes closed.

Who are you calling "desperate"? ;) It's the wee time of the morning and we're only 1 hour 15 minutes into Christmas here. A few hours sleep and I'll be out and about, pretending to have a life and trying not to think about what I'm missing on the forum! - ajaks, Dec 25, 2011
I do hope your wayward friends come back into the fold and comfort you with horror tales of how ugly a place the world can be w/o a forum to call home. - ajaks, Dec 25, 2011
Dont get me wrong some of my best friends are desperate ,well they would be to be my friends, I have spent some of my best and most productive years as a desperado infantile. - ray76, Dec 25, 2011
hehe You strike me as the sort of bloke who would be very loyal to his friends, not to mention welcome company to strangers, passing the time and a bottle around a fire in the wide open somewhere, telling yarns long into the night.... - ajaks, Dec 25, 2011
Oh, I bet he is, Ajaks. But look, here we are to respond to his post on Christmas morning. Does that not establish our "bona fides" as SD addicts?? - territurtle, Dec 25, 2011
Merry Xmas!!:-) - lagartijaverde, Dec 25, 2011
G'day birdland , thanks mate same to you and all your girlfriends. - ray76, Dec 25, 2011
Terri we have the same addictive genes , may as well just surrender and enjoy. - ray76, Dec 25, 2011
Ajaks you paint a nice picture , but you are right i do love yarning into the wee hours around a fire. - ray76, Dec 25, 2011
Ajaks is that the one from Greek Mythology " or the Polish one? - ray76, Dec 25, 2011

then the turrones of course and champagne and "copas", jeeeeeeeeeeez, we never seem to stop eating.

Well, it's still Christmas here for us, but I know what you mean. It would be great to see some of the old timers back. The winter is here for us and maybe that will bring out the urge for Spanish. But in the mean time, we have a great new group of addicts here. Let's send some PM's to some of our old friends. They might just stop in. And we are so grateful for the awesome participation of all our new friends on the forum.

Thank you for the kind words, Sanlee. The SD community is a fascinating, eclectic, and definitely a very welcoming bunch of folks. - ajaks, Dec 25, 2011
And, Sanlee, I've already received a PM from one of our new friends -- Ajaks!! Isn't he adorable? ;)) - territurtle, Dec 25, 2011
Ajaks is a she ! - ray76, Dec 25, 2011
!!??? Would gladly send you a PM, but that one must have been from Santa. Merry Christmas Terri! - Jackie (aka ajaks) - ajaks, Dec 25, 2011

Thank you Sandy that was very remiss of me not to acknowledge all the

newbies that have come along over the past few months they have been

astounding, throwing themselves in at the deep end with gay abandon ,

I do hope " Gay Abandon " did not mind. But seriously folks it is just fantastic

to have a new crop of Spanishdictaholiks to learn with and have a great deal of

fun along the way , so thank you Sandy for reminding me, the old grey cells

are not what they used to be.
