Re: QM - The Genisis X is leaving Mint

Yeah, my idea exactly. The trouble is that he travels so often and can get books there that you can't get here...

Re: QM - The Genisis X is leaving Mint

I think it should be pink.



Yergh, my head! Can this stupid cold please be over now? I feel as if all my brain cells have already come out through my nose when I was blowing it.

Re: QM - The Genisis X is leaving Mint

My nose is only just starting to be annoying. :(

So shall we make it the pink stables? Or should that be the cold pink stables?

Re: QM - The Genisis X is leaving Mint

Blegh, I really think my boss isn't coming anymore. What I hate most is that he didn't simply call or mail to let me know. I hate always telling people that my bosses will be there at a certain time when they turn out not to be there after all. *grumbles*

Re: QM - The Genisis X is leaving Mint

Stables are indoors, so they should be warm. But not too warm, because when we are warm, we have to go outside, and we don't want people to leave the Mint, do we?

My nose has been annoying since Tuesday. Sometimes I think it's getting better, and then I have to spend five minutes blowing my nose again.

... I just wrote "mintutes" - is that  a special time unit for when you're in the Mint?

Tell me about it. The sort-of boss always disappears, and it's just so annoying, having to tell people, "No, I'm sorry, Mr P. isn't here right now - I have no idea where he went to or when he'll be back."

Re: QM - The Genisis X is leaving Mint

Must be. :)

The stables we were in in Vienna weren't particularly warm.

But they weren't pink either, were they?

Re: QM - The Genisis X is leaving Mint

*LOL* Here's a quote from the book I'm reading:

One of the great inventions of the last millennium was the search engine. It's never been easier to get access to [strikethrough]naughty pictures[/strikethrough] interesting information than it has been since the invention of the search engine.

Re: QM - The Genisis X is leaving Mint

Hehe!

I think I'll take my poor aching back off to the bathtub. (I spend far too much time there lately)

Re: QM - The Genisis X is leaving Mint

Heh, in the almost two years that I've owned a bath tub, we've only used it three times. (Me twice and Ivo once.)

Re: QM - The Genisis X is leaving Mint

I don't usually take baths often, but I started doing so again during school, partly because my back hurt from the uncomfortable chairs, and partly because I keep my room pretty cool (dark AND warm is bad for plants, and they suffered enough as it was, with my room being so dark).

Yes, I've still not managed to get up.

Re: QM - The Genisis X is leaving Mint

You should simply grow jungle plants there, and then make it moist as well. :)

I created a new Mint, btw.
