Yesterday I had a thought which goes something like this......do the Bird costumes get washed at all......then I had another thought (I know 2 thoughts in seconds painful and I can't think until June now) which goes something like this......I wonder how many numbered T-shirts the team have? Now classs, discus....s.

Well considering they only apparently own one pair of shoes, one would assume the same of the shirts, ne? In my own fanfic universe I assume they have several sets, hence Princess usually running off with the cast-offs. They'd seriously have to have more than one set, like ... stinky much? A wash'n'dry cycle on my u-beaut fancy new Washer/Dryer set takes around an hour or so (40 mins standard for wash, dry time varies)... Would hate for them to have to wash it and suddenly get called to action... Heh... Lucky those new machines have "pause" buttons.. SJ

And a few people have written that the Birdstyles self clean themselves when they go through Transmutation. Maybe the same happens to the civies.

Imagine if they NEVER got cleaned...ewwwwweee we'd all Galactor/Spectra need to do is follow the smell and they'd find the team...

That would be helarious wouldn't it... Ken sighs heavily and looks at the his wet uniform. The first day he had to wash in a month and the Galactor decides to stike. (Jun holding her nose and spraying perfume was a big hint it was time to do the laundry. "Sorry doc, I can't make it I'm just in my undies and the shirt and jeans are still socking wet and drying on the clothes rack...I get this rash right near my grion if I wear it wet...can you call /Berg Katse and tell em to hold off the attack for a few hours..."

Or they would keel over (faint) from the smell.

I think Diinzumo says it all....

I remember seeing that when I first started exploring the Gatch sites. Thank you for reminding me again Reboekah.

You know what I just realized??? I have just passed my 2 year mark on this site. I can not believe all the fun I have had in the last two years, all the friends I have made, all I have learned and especially that you have managed to convince me to write and post three stories. Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me.

Congratulations on your anniversay CD! I know I speak for all in that we are SOOO glad that you are here!

Thank you for those kind words Condorfan. Sometimes I still need convincing that I am not invisible and that my thoughts have some worth - that shows the harm those High School bullies did to me.

Goooo CD! Hard to believe it's been 2 years, isn't it? I think Springie had a fic idea once where Ken washed his wings and the red bled onto the white and made them pink....

CD, has it really been two years? Congrats! Boy, time flies when you're having fun, huh? I've lost track of how long I've been around...I guess about 3 years...I think I joined in '06... I'm so glad that I had the chance to meet friends like you, too!

Ohhh, I remember reading or hearing something about that one as well. Was that Springie? For some reason I would have said Ebony did it.

Happy Gatchaversery Cloud! If Ken ended up with a pink uniform I think Jun is the one who would laugh the hardest.

Congrats Cd! I would think for practicality they would be either more than one civvie or self cleaning in some way

I'm sure Joe could make a bob or two Ebaying his cast offs.

I have just checked myself and I have been here since 2005. You just don't know where the times goes in this place.

NOW, that would be funny. The team got ready for the tornado spin and just before they start, they see all the goons and captain just keel over and Katse/Zoltar escape with a gas mask on.

I know how you feel I have been here almost 7 years!

That is what I was thinking .... I have been here TWO years.... it feels like only a few short months ago that I first logged on and explained that I know nothing about computers, the internet or forums. Now I appear to the the second highest poster on this site. (I still have not decided if that part is a good thing or a bad thing.)

I know exactly where you're coming from. I'm still suffering damage from bullies all through my schooling years. I think you are a very intelligent and thoughtful person and I value your opinion.

Diddo.. Congrats on your anniversary CD!

Ditto as well.

CD you are wonderful and we all are happy you had the courage to not only join us but to post and let us get to know you. It is great to see how you have grown from the shy person you were at first to the outgoing fan who shares opinions.

I can't really imagine CD as a shy person. That's impossible for me think that......no wait that's impossible for me to think full stop, hee hee.

LOL Met. I am actually a very shy person ... while on here I have opened up a lot and I "think" it is actually starting to show in real life. Wait I KNOW it is affecting my real life, after all I did go all the way to California to visit TJ last summer, a few years ago I would not have even dreamed of doing something like that. But I know I still hold back a lot of my opinions and comments, unsure of what people will think of them or make of me.

FWIW, most of the time I don't see this 'shy' person that CD mentions, even IRL!

Okay, then maybe I mean very introverted and unable to connect to people in a face to face situation - until I know them.

I will say Cloud, that while I have only been around a mere year (that's practically virginal around here!), since my very first moments of lurking to now I have absolutely always seen you as as a present, benevolent *force* on this board. If we were in a theater, I'd describe you as having a natural "stage presence". You are such an integral part of the community here, I just can't even imagine this place without you. Nor can I picture you as shy or introverted. You always have such wonderful, funny, naughty and insightful things to say. I like your opinions, your fics, your playfulness -- you are part of the fabric of gatchamania. you rock.

GoGirl, you have expressed this far more eloquently than I ever could! And it's great to have had you here for a year! I hope there are many more!

It's a very good thing!! This place wouldn't be the same without you, CD.

So do I and for similar reasons. Sometimes it gets too much and I MUST have a say on this or that and sometimes a situation comes along where me and another perosn might get into a misunderstanding but I do feel that you guys are my friends unlike in real live, in fact I think I have more friends online than I ever had at school and college.

I KNOW I have more friends online than from my college and school days. The few friends I thought I had at college have all fallen off the face of the Earth. And I left high school not wanting to remember any of those "friends." In fact as went as far as moving to a Uni. that was the furthest point from my home town as I could get, and yet still remain in the same Province, hoping to start a different life.

Thank you for your kind words Gogirl!! Although it is kind of hard not to have a presence around here when I keep making all the posts. (Maybe I have tooooo much of a presence) Well you guy will just have to put up with it. I am here and I am staying.

And we're so glad! CD!

Whoo hoo! CD is staying!

Quick, before she changes her mind, superglue her to the chiiar and keyboard.

Chair maybe .... keyboard well I can take that with me, since I use a laptop.

Drat, foiled my superglue the fingers to the keyboard plan.
