She’ll be at home, give nice presents to her darlings, will have a big christmas meal, watching the snow fall and sing some christmas songs (-:

I don’t think we will get a message though I hope we would!

Kiwein1 said on December 3, 2003 15:30:

I am with you on that, Pietro!! She’s fine! I am very sure about that..someone told me in a dream three nights ago..*g* He said (in english!! though I am german): “she’s at the top, better than ever.”

Kiwein1 said on December 3, 2003 15:59:

That was just an example..

tevensso (moderator) said on December 3, 2003 16:57:

Just because Varberg doesn’t get snow doesn’t mean other parts of Sweden won’t get it. Djursholm may very well get snow for instance...

Kiwein1 said on December 3, 2003 17:13:

AND it really was J U S T an example that should make clear the she surely is FINE!!

I think Marie will spend her christmas in a pink castle made of glass somewhere near Örebro. ;)

And no, I don´t think she will send any X-mas greeting this year.

*chuckling*

But isn’t Ted Swedish too? Wouldn’t she write in their mother tongue.

Min Älskling Teddy

Gode Vintertid Födelsedog på Christ.

Marie

Till Ted,
God Jul, och gott nytt år,

WAKE UP! we - the fanbase - only get christmas-greetings when it’s time to make promotion, i mean when a new album is out after christmas ...

Rony said on December 4, 2003 18:26:

ok, i’m SURE this is not the case. I do not believe that Marie will send us something for x-mas just for promotion, she’s not like that!! (at least i THINK she’s not...) so don’t say these things untill you get a proov this really is the case.
After last year, with all our greeting to her to get well, i think she will send us something here.

Nox1983 said on December 4, 2003 19:03:

I agree with Rony, and I think she should send a message, but if not, it´s OK, maybe she needs to rest, and being at home with her family... But I´m not agree with Marie´s message for promotion and such things... I never would think bad about her...

By the way, I think that this it is a very interesting topic...

Kiwein1 said on December 4, 2003 19:17:

I have had enough Per this year *g*

ally77 said on December 4, 2003 20:12:

She should rest for as long needs be, but it would be a nice gesture to send something... anyone that thinks different is wrong.. Marie has been busy working on a new album or so we are told which if all goes well might get released next year and of course there will be plenty of opportunity for promo.

Okay as I have said before we all know Marie is a private person, but hearing nothing on her health since September is a worry... I think a Christmas message would be good but who knows what will happen....

Denstandigaresan said on December 4, 2003 20:41:

Don’t think she’ll be doing any promotion for the album, personally. Would be nice though of course.
Kind of a threat, ’leave us an christmas message, or we won’t buy your album’??
Hmm.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Marie told us all to sod off.
And if anything was to be told, people would still question it, and believe what they want.

Ohhh, what a lovely thread this is turning in to.

I am so sick and tired of people making fun of Ted!
If it was in IRL I would have report it to the police long time ago.

in real life

tevensso (moderator) said on December 4, 2003 22:28:

That’s an interesting approach, what would the crime be? “Making fun of someone”? I can’t say I know the law that well, but I don’t think that’s punishable.

MiracleMan said on December 5, 2003 01:01:

Perhaps badly impersonating a celebrity in horribly inaccurate Swedish would fair better in the courts?

*turning off the lights, waiting for the police bang on the door*

per_mson said on December 5, 2003 10:11:

Well, if people should be sent to the police for making fun of other people on the net I think that people also should be sent to the police for not following the rules the moderators has on this forum as well...

Rony said on December 5, 2003 14:51:

......and somehow wer’e not even on the topic this thread is on......

sofiab said on December 5, 2003 15:42:

Mobbing is a crime in Sweden.

per_mson said on December 5, 2003 16:54:

Kiwein: Are you defending him HERE? On your forum I heard you don’t like him so much... ;)

Furthermore I don’t see that telling a person not to write something, he has written 5 times before and noone apparently cares about, is bullying.

Rony said on December 5, 2003 17:30:

@denstan- i’m not surprised, i’m just saying....

Nox1983 said on December 5, 2003 18:48:

hej Rony, long time no speak! kisses!

MiracleMan said on December 5, 2003 19:11:

Hmmmmmm. . .the way this thread is spooling out. . .

I hadn’t realized that EVERY topic needs to be treated with a solemn seriousness, and not to do so was such an egregious offense.

Mea maxima, maxia culpa

Those gathering rocks for a stoning: let he who is without sin cast the first. There’s been much harsher and far more direct, insulting, hurtful posts aimed at him by regulars to these forums. If ATLTK didn’t have thicker skin than most of you seem to give him credit for, I think he’d’ve left the forums A LONG TIME AGO.

AND FOR THE RECORD—YET AGAIN—underlined, exclaimation point—I love to see Ted participating, when he has a valid topic or wastes space with the threads that become archived. I look forward to it. He definitely adds color and humor to the forums and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

per_mson said on December 5, 2003 21:24:

Kiwein: I have my sources... hihi! ;)

Well, at least I agree with MM. I also think Ted’s topics are giving this forum something. They are fun and I look forward to his questions. Lately most of them has been archived for whatever reason and that has maybe not always been the best questions. But there are many other people here (probably me as well) who should think before they are writing sometimes... It is just that sometimes I can get a bit irritated when everyone tell him to quit it and he still goes on with the same stuff but in a new thread.

*reverse shift: BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. put truck in park. Door opens and closes, long walk to bumper, sound of chain clanking and jangling as it’s being linked to topic. Securing chain. Long walk to door, open, close. Shift into first. Clutch, shift gear, slowly releasing clutch while applying gas. Engine dies. Depress clutch again, start engine, release clutch more slowly, apply gas more slowly. Chain ratting. Jerk of truck as chain grows taught and catches hold and begins to pull. Loud scraping sound of topic being dragged back into thread*

A Christmas message to fans is probably not going to come this year. While we’d all be pleased, MF is on sabbatical this year and I wouldn’t think—while I’m certain she’s grateful for the continued support—that it’s a high priority for her. If it happens, good, if not, I’m sure everybody understands.
