 skwirlinator says: Has anyone else seen any of these people lately? There are many more clippers missing too! I miss the good ole days! I have been wondering the very same thing. I miss the good ole days!So do I! Admittedly, I've been out of the loop for a while as well - sometimes life just has this way of taking charge and throwing you temporarily off balance - but I'm back in the running and missing many familar faces. Perhaps timing is everything. I have seen several of the 'missing' clippers. *Raises hand* Present!!! I've just been pretty swamped lately. I pop, clip and comment a bit more than I did in Dec-Feb. Study: Zombie attacks might increase due to global warming http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/CBDF9B67-F129-47D2-A5BF-F9B59D5AF9AB/ Hi CoCo, I just haven't seen you much and I was in fear you were preparing to leave. Just woke up, having coffee, getting ready to spring clean my computer cubby. Procrastination all winter long and now I must straighten it up. Hopefully I can get all my equipment hooked back up today. I can't stand it when my pc is disconnected. A note - the comments timestamp is at the top right side of each comment and shows as YOUR time not the commenter. TheCatWhisperer is okay, just busy. He has a baby due soon. Cool, Its been awhile. Hi BNM! Pop. Pop. Pop. Pop. I saw CarnivalBorn today on a clip. ljsdesign is missing too, bút she has a new baby too. Dorine has been gone a while too. Here I am. It was a tough winter. Glad you made it - Springtime at clipmarks. I can think of worse things. Thx, skwirl.  hi gingembre!  Dorine left a message in one of her clips a few weeks ago. I think she has some stuff going on at the home front, so we may not see her for awhile (not sure though). Hi alanocu! It sounds like several of us have had a tough go of it lately. I'm glad that we can count on our friends at Clipmarks to be here to greet us as we straggle back into the fold. I am really glad skwirlinator made this clip. So many people have been missing. TNCBT was missing for a week or 2, so I'm glad to see new comments from her. And gingembre is just too cool to lose (so glad you're here!) Michellezm where are you (love ya girlfriend!)!? I think sohil has a new job, so he's not around much, but love when he clips. The list goes on and on..... I think something happened on Clipmarks side. All the clippers that I was following just 'dropped.' I guess I need to start over. mcgraf and haraya have both popped and clipped lately - I really enjoy their clips as well Great clip skwirl .. I was temporarily caught up in stuff this winter too. I agree with others ... a hard winter! I have made the decision to move too, so things aren't too quiet here yet, With the U.S. housing market in a slump, I may have to move and leave my condo empty and just fix it and sell it when things get better in a year or so. No mortgage, so just the monthly fee to hold things here if I leave and move back to Atlanta. Good to see others checking in. Ohla, still here, just been busy at work. Been doing more reading than clipping. I have been growing increasingly worried about Dorine for good reason. We were in regular contact up until about two weeks ago when all communication ceased abruptly. If anyone else has heard from her since, please let us know. Dorine, if you read this, let me know you're alright, please. Miss you, thinking about you, and praying for you as always. Thanks Skwirl. ....what about pokkets? any word? There have been some pretty bad tornados and cold winters so This 'rollcall' is really appropriate. I know BigBadWolf won't be back - I did a helmet clip to try to bait him. What about the clipfathers? Forbes keeping them locked away like a vintage chevy? Why won't BigBad be back? Its good to see some old screennames! I raise my morning coffee and salute you all. My wife is in the hosp sick with something (They Dont Know) and I am forced to go to my $8 per hr job. Cant afford to miss work - no pay in two weeks. I'm supposed to be there at 7:30am but I called in late. Been up all night. Worry, worry, worry, I feel absoultely helpless. One more coffee and I will shut down and head in to work. Gotta work tomorrow too. Easter Sunday - this will be a new experience. Just because I didn't clip someones name doesn't mean I don't miss them. If you look at the source you will see that there are way too many to clip and I don't see a sort pattern that says last clip. You could... Why won't BigBad be back?In a comment stream I read that he was leaving because of something he had going in NYC about a job with computing or something. It was mysterious but he did pop back in after a long absence then left again shortly there after. I don't think he died or anything, just too busy or something like that. Anyone else know the real story? Read some of his clips and look at his profile, he may have stated - I think it may also have been something to do with a helmet. I had an account with RecordSage, I switched computers and lost the account info and now he doesn't clip anymore so I can't ask him how to retrieve my account. He had some pretty interesting clips too. Godfrey Daniel didn't exist when he was here, I wonder where he is not existing now. His last clip was 1/22/2007 his last comment was 1/22/2007. My wife is in the hosp sick with somethingOh, Skwirl. I am so sorry to hear this. I hope it's not serious. Please let us know how she is doing. In the meantime I am sending you a sympathy hug and my prayers. So sorry to hear Ma Skwirl's not well. I hope she's better soon and home again. Make sure you get some rest and sleep too, Skwirl. You sound beat. Best wishes, buddy. Skwirl, I hope your wife gets better quickly, and the doctors discover a way to help her. I'm sure it is pretty stressful. Hang in there! The Clipmunity is always here for you. I've been waiting for Godfrey to return forever. I even had another Clipper use his magic powers to no avail. Alas....he is now just a member of cliplore. Good morning everybody! love that photo, mona! this is off topic, but is anyone else getting weird errors on the site? I keep getting this one: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. is anyone else getting weird errors on the site? I keep getting thisYes! I've been wondering the same thing.  love that photo, mona!So do I! Unfortunately, much as I'd love to, I can't take the credit for taking it though. I was sent it by a friend to cheer me up the other day. It did the trick. Glad to see it worked for you too! Well I worked till noon. I'm heading back to the hospital in a couple hours with some stuff she needs. She is currently being moved to ICU. Her tongue is swollen and she is having trouble breathing. There has been some issues lately with her thyroid gland and I THINK it is related to that or the new meds she was prescribed for it. She said on the phone that they are still doing tests. I'm taking my laptop with me so while I'm there if they have wifi I will be back online. I'll keep y'all posted. meanwhile, here's a celestial smile for you!Thanks, It made me smile - I like birds Alanocu... I did some random searches and I don't receive errors. If you were looking for the clipmandments I commented on all 3 clips so they should be in the comments sort for all clippers. Did you know that searches are refined by the page view? If you use the pull down menu and choose 'My Page' and search, it will search your clips. If you are on the 'AllClippers' Page and search it will search all clipmarks. If you know who clipped the searched word you can go to thier page and search only their clips - it takes less time and maybe it wont time out on you. Skwirl, what news about Mrs Skwirl? Did you know that searches are refined by the page view?Yes. That's a really useful feature. There seems to be something going on with the server. I've forwarded the error messages to support. It's sporatic, but I can't get into 'My Clippers' view without getting thrown out of Clipmarks - the most frequent error I get is that the server is not responding. This is the error I've been getting all weekend. I copied it and put it on a web page off-site: http://viewer.zoho.com/store/x/xLiZj/xLiZj.htm I saw my name on the list. I am still here and visiting Clipmarks daily, but the past few months have been crazy with work, as I am working on these two projects http://www.rallyfim2008.org/?lang=en http://www.olivetreeroute.gr/pekin/index_en.htm If any of you love motorcycles you may find these interesting. Skwirl, I am sorry about your wife!! I know how that feels.  OMG, I had a complete meltdown in the ER, but my husband has really taken a turn for the better and I'm so very happy, so just hang in there. I'll be thinking about you for sure baby I think about Rashid almost every day. And OMG, I miss Big Bad!! He was the male version of me, and he even made me go to confession once *LOL* LJS is alive and well and busy with her twin babies and going to school. She will be back, give her a break, she is super mama with 7 kids! I hope Dorine is all right Michellezm. I hope everything turns out well, Skwirl. Alas....he is now just a member of cliplore.What good is a clip-legacy if you can't coast on it? I'm sad to report Haraya recently experienced a freak accident involving a bowl of pork ramen, flip-flops, and a rope ladder. Don't worry...she's OK, but may be taking some time off until all the bad noodle dreams subside. She'll be back soon.  Y'all are wonderful! First...Maskwirl had surgery on an impacted tooth that got infected and swelled her tongue so bad her airway was the size of a pencil. It's good we got her to a decent hospital when we did. She is still in ICU under observation having IV antibiotics. She is to go upstairs for more IV today after the doc releases her from ICU and she should be released Monday mid morning. When I left last night she was still pretty out of it but the doc said they got most of the infection. We both need dental work but there is no money so it won't be getting done anytime soon. The dentist wants me to have a $1200. downpayment before he will even start on mine. They all need to come out.... Second...Hi Mcgraf, Nice to see ya around. You should clip those bike sites...cool Then... the most frequent error I get is that the server is not responding.There were a few errors yesterday. One was server was too busy and Too many users online at once. The page wouldn't even load. I remember there was a rash of server problems with quite a few boards I frequent. Some recovered, many, including mine, did not. I wonder if it is a related problem? I had a complete meltdown in the ER, but my husband has really taken a turn for the better and I'm so very happyI am very happy for you and your hubby. May you climb back to the happiness you deserve. You are at the dawn of a new relationship with an old friend. Cherish it. she is super mama with 7 kids!WOW, I'll bet she has some parenting insight we never imagined. May she find a peaceful moment to stop in and say hi! Cherish it.I do Skwril. be taking some time off until all the bad noodle dreams subsideSo I guess when she returns we should keep the Flying Speggetti Monster jokes to ourselves, eh? Fantastic clip! Happy Easter! Thanx sahara! Happy Resurrection Day! Skwirl, so good to hear Mrs Skwirl is on the mend. What a relief that must be for you both. Please keep us abreast of her progress and send Mrs Skwirl a solid Clippy hug. Debby, I didn't know your husband was ill. I'm so sorry I only heard of it now. I must have missed the clip. As consolation please accept a big warm cyber hug from me. Is he at home, Debby, or still in hospital? Oh he is at home and doing much better Michellezm Thanks! (((((((Michellezm)))))))) Heading back to the hosp. She is in a regular room now. I worked all day and now I have another 45 min drive to the hosp. I'm so tired and the pain is getting bad toady (Weather Change?) I just can't wait till I can sleep again. She should be coming home in the morning. There is still a little swelling but its dropping by the hour. She gave us a real scare. Where are the clipfathers? We are here, I promise. I still clip at times and though none of us are as actively clipping as we have in the past, we are still and always will be around I assure you. I think we all hope to return to normal soon. We've been very busy here working on some new and exciting things to come. As for the errors, I am currently working on them and hope to have them fixed very shortly. Sorry for the inconvenience... OK whoever said the word "Cherish" in the comments above has left me with Kool and the Gang in my brain. I've been playing the youtube video on replay for the past 2 hours - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUb_3Ynz_tk Here would be my contribution to the meaning of Cherish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aBAMnIUi8Y&feature=related oh, love that song - love sade - sultry,sexy,smooth I know; emotional too. I go pick up Maskwirl as soon as I finish my lunch. Thanx for all the well wishes - it helped. That's great news skwirl, thanks for the update. (^_^) Cherish is such a lovely word I was once in love with a girl who I knew just needed and wanted to be cherished. As I cuddled her I said "Cherish, cherish, cherish" She replied "relish, relish, relish" I smiled. Awwww . . . how cute is that I go pick up Maskwirl as soon as I finish my lunch.That is great! Hey everyone, like Derek said, the clipdaddies are all around behind the scenes working on new and exciting stuff. And also been busy plotting against the dolphins. Those damn dolphins Hope MaSkwiril recovers quickly! And also been busy plotting against the dolphins.I knew I could count on you Eric! Where are the clipfathers?Great question Skwirl. I guess i'd say we've been back at the drawing board. For a long time, we sprinted. Always running 100mph trying to create something special here. I think we all needed a bit of space from the site so we could see it clearly. See it both for what it is and what it could and should be. Stepping back a bit wasn't anything we conciously chose to do. I think it just something we needed to do. We're confident and committed to making this as special a place as we can. And we plan on doing it for a very long time. I think we just needed a bit of a breather to gather our thoughts and work out a roadmap for the continued evolu... Great to hear from you all! I agree sometimes you need to step back and refocus. See if you can leave the clissic view alone. I like being able to do the old familiar. Clipon I haven't encountered any accidents.. So feel free to crack Flying Spaghetti Monster jokes. I'm around most of the time, Skwirly. Thanks for thinking about us.Hope you, MaSkwirl and your little skwrilies are even better now. Yeah, everything is getting back to normal now, Thanx I hardley ever see you haraya, since I converted to dayshift Heya Swirl! Yep, it truly is me! I'm here now and then and here and here and here and here and here just to name/link a few. I've been spending my off time in graphic / digital arts; and just bought a new Nikon D40x (digital slr). Happy camper! Glad to hear everything is well with the Mrs. and yourself. Good clip...keeps us ol' timers connected. Hey Chicki! So glad to see you again! Zazzle, I thought that was spam ridden with spyware. You better be careful. You might find my ART clipcast interesting. Ever heard of DAZ? since eg the head (eric) brought up new projects how about a clipmarks webapp for iphone/ipod touch theres a few difficulties on the usual format on my itouch, notably its screwed up a bit, I can't scroll etc happy days see ya around So, Why do YOU stay at clipamrks? Is it the pops or the comments? If you don't get pops do you shy away? If you don't get comments do you shy away? What causes you to leave clipmarks for periods of time? Personal stuff going on Assinie clippers Computer or internet malfunctions ??? I stay at Clipmarks because I like all the squirrels. Also because of my fellow dolphin haters and bacon lovers. Seriously, I like the pop system because it helps me locate interesting clips. Whether my clips get pops or not isn't a reason for me to stay or leave. I do love reading comments, whether on my clips or not because it helps me understand the wider world I live in, and because my mind is often changed about a subject, or my understanding is enhanced. I also like Clipmarks because I think our user group is educated and smart, friendly and helpful. I also love a good laugh, and you can find that every day at the Clip. When I take a break it is usually because of [url=/clipm... I think sohil has a new job, so he's not around much, but love when he clips.Still in school alanocu Hi Sohil, Glad you're still around! Be well. So, Why do YOU stay at clipamrks? skwirlinator as the wise man once said 'the answer is in the question' Hello, I just stumbled upon this clip and I thought that I should chime in with some excuses for my absence: 1. In late 2006 (?), when new restrictions were placed on the length of public clips, I started to clip less frequently because I found it difficult to capture recipes following the restrictions. 2. In January of 2007, I started a new full-time job as a Youth Services Librarian and I found myself spending less time cruising the web. 3. In April of 2007, I purchased a Mac and started to use the Safari browser, which is not compatible with Clipmarks. no need for excuses, bunnicula. just glad to see familiar faces around every once in a while. Hi Bunni! I hope you are doing well. I do miss your recipes. Hi bunnicula! Nice to see you found us again. On top of that its nice to see you looked at my clips when you came back, I am honored! Skwirlinator (and others) The Real Napster is still around, just been real busy with life lately. On March 8th, 2008 I broke my left leg in several pieces in a horrible skiing accident. Still not walking since then. Most of my time is spent in physical therapy, and recovery processes. At least I'm out of my wheelchair now! ; ) To that end, I now have 13 long screws and enough titantium plates in my left leg to really annoy the airport security guys. My businesses are really taking off so it's all I can do to run those (albeit at a slow pace) and find time to do other things (like clip, or comment). So I'm really not out, just moving very slowly... will return soon though!Take care everyone! Thanx for chimming in, I am sorry to hear about your leg. Pain is an awful thing to live with. I'm happy your businesses are gaining. Perhaps you need a personal assistant. At least until you regain more movement. I'm honored that you found and responded to this clip. It will be nice to get your opinions and insight again. Perhaps you should clip about your businesses. It might help bring more recognition to them. You take your time coming back - deal with life first and foremost, we will still be here. I fear some of the missing clippers are not as fortunate as you as I think they lost everything some even their lives. Best wishes on your continued recovery. Again, thanx for the honor of a response to this clip. Keep pushing! Hey, The Real Napster! Sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you can get back to walking soon. Glad to hear your businesses are doing well. Thanks so much for letting us know how you are doing. I love it when Clippers come back to say hello and catch up. Napster, Great to hear from you. I hope you get back to full stride quickly. Thanks Skwirl! (everyone)- It feels good to actually be able to *sit* in my office chair and be in front of a computer, couldn't do that for quite awhile it seems. On the slow road to recovery but I'll get there, one step at a time! ; ) -BigNoseMousie- I still have a bottle of my Blackberry wine for you, (it is a huge hit) email me the address to send it to again. Sorry I wasn't more attentive at getting that done before things went downhill fast (heh, pun). -Willhelm- Good to be back! Parsing thru the clipper logs, it looks like things got kinda stale around here, so we'll have to freshen things up a bit! |
