Ohhhhhhhh ok a diff Richard.

Seen the name mentioned but haven't seen him on.

He has abandoned us..... we miss him.....you are a bit like him, that is why I still think that HE is YOU!!! er, YOU is HE!!!!

[CarlaB]

Susie, you MAY be onto something! Richard would find that very entertaining!!

It's not him though ... he wouldn't flirt (small, not supposed to talk about it).

[tom]

Yes I created a whole slew of accts 3 yrs ago so I can lurk incognito.

Going alphbetically I finally made it to tom.

Slew=good word

Homonym slough I don't like. But I did like kayaking Elkhorn Slough. More otters WAY close and seals and 6000 birds.

I suppose I have a melange of problems w/ it.

It looks like cough, which isn't said coup.

It looks like tough, which isn't said two.

Uh oh it does look like through, which sounds like threw.

Wait I know! Taming of the shrough!

. . . .brain . . . . .. . . .. .tired . . . .. . .someone wore me out . . .

Ok, but I can *still* not like Draught, right?

This is just so stunningly brilliant that Sough-sie is left impressively speechless and doesn't even know how to properly respond.

But how can you not like DRAUGHT? we sold DRAUGHTING pencils in the store, made me out of my mind as they were pronounced DRAFTING, as all ye scholars of Olde Germanic English (?) do know, I am sure. Why did Susie like it and Tom does not?

oh, too early to ponder such homonymic riddles.......

susie also would like to point out that she thinks it funny that Carla is selfishly amused by our contined online "flirting" and how plane ride might hinder same.

and FURTHER, Susie must now make proclamation and edict stating that she must limit her time on this evil, time-sucking vortex of a thing we know as THE COMPUTER. Harrumph!

[CarlaB]

You say to-mAA-to, I say to-MAH-to ....

Ha! Even Carla can flirt on an airplane! Maybe not as well as Susia can though!

It's not entirely selfish ... you seem to be having fun with it, too ... who wore out tom?

[AndreaB]

and FURTHER, Susie must now make proclamation and edict stating that she must limit her time on this evil, time-sucking vortex of a thing we know as THE COMPUTER. Harrumph!

I haven't succeeded with that one yet.

[nikki-uk]

But how can you not like DRAUGHT? we sold DRAUGHTING pencils in the store, made me out of my mind as they were pronounced DRAFTING, as all ye scholars of Olde Germanic English (?) do know, I am sure.

Umm, of course I knew that

Ha! Even Carla can flirt on an airplane!

Well I hope you do it small young lady!!!!

Am I reading this right?

Sough-sie confers a positive connotation to being out of one's mind?

thom certainly does not.

But I am bugged by draught cuz there's a perfectly good draft available.

And I don't want to imply that in general any mental dissonance from a mismatch in a word's spelling vs. pronounciation (omg I almost broke up w/ a girl for saying this word pro-nown-see-aye-shun), and in fact can be amused by it.

Yes, Thom, being out of one's mind, in Siousxee's world, is a GOOD thing.

oh my gaaaaaaaaaaawd I nearly slugged a boyfriend's sister (who spoke in baby-talk shrill whine and regaled us w/ tale that she'd been on no less than 32 interviews for Vice Principal positions), when she kept saying "kinny-garten" over and over.......(um, we all do know that it's KINDER-garten, right?)

OMG - -

OAXACAN

um, halloooooooooooooo there thom, foreign words don't really count.....do they?

[Mtndog]

OMG - -

OAXACAN

um, halloooooooooooooo there thom, foreign words don't really count.....do they?

If I only had a brain :lol:

I LOVE Oaxacan- such a cool word!!!!!!!!!! I also love the part of Mexico called Quintana Roo!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nikki-uk]

If I only had a brain

..at least you can blame it on the Lyme Bev!!!

Whereas *I* clearly need to make a visit to the Wizard of Oz along with the tin man & co

Now see here Pseu-zee, I think they most CERTainly can count, as long as 1) the language in question uses our alphabet and 2) it's a word that we can reasonably expect each other to recognize.

You CANNOT dispute this!!!!! <tom can't quit chuckling>

Even your LYME brain is superior to most other mortals, darling Bev. Just chime in, herx or no herx, and for Pete's sake, WHO of us can keep up with this new challenger we have in our Ptaum? We can't, we simply can't, yet pluck along with our inferior brains, we will!

[tom]

pWhat a pworkout pfor the psilent P!

[tom]

Omg I remembered something I hadn't thought about for so long.

In ~85, my girlfriend (still don't why I fell out of love w/ her) and I were playing phonetic scrabble.

I got to use "ghoti" for FISH!

Gh - easy

O - as in women

Ti - shun

Could NOT stop laughing while placing it.

Wow - the things that can come back w/ a working brain. It was Chicago and I was in a blues band & she was singing in a fun but non-performing garage/basement band that I'd mess around w/ sometimes. And we both played guitar (just her singing) and toyed w/ a 4track console and recorded some Green on Red songs then accidently played it backwards and it sounded JUST LIKE BOB DYLAN!!!!!! ROFL.

<actual tears from the laughter>

[CarlaB]

Well I hope you do it small young lady!!!!

Of course. I usually just talk to everyone ... guys always take that as flirting.

Sough-sie confers a positive connotation to being out of one's mind?

I agree, sometimes it can be good to go crazy.

But I am bugged by draught cuz there's a perfectly good draft available.

I always thought draught referred to beer, and draft to the other stuff (pencils, drafting, rough draft, etc.).

I know all about Wahawka .... some friends went there when I was in Mexico ... they apparently wanted the famous mushrooms from that place. I wasn't too into mind altering mushrooms ... who needs them with Lyme brain?

Exactly- I'm hallucinating enough as it is. :lol: :lol: :lol:

In fact, Benicio del Toro was just at my back door- gotta run (as opposed to "got the runs")

(oh how I like to titillate these girls!)

Yes, he called me and said he was stopping by your house - AND he's bringing lobster with that yak butter - is it ghee?

[nikki-uk]

We can't, we simply can't, yet pluck along with our inferior brains, we will!

...my head hurts.....but I MUST TRY!!! UM....SIOUX-ZI

HELP ME !!!...HELP!!! My poor brain cells!!!.......

In fact, Benicio del Toro was just at my back door

Which is always a rather unexpected BUT pleasant suprise I find

OH DEAR GAWD!!!

There would indeed be NOTHING, I say NOTHING left of ze little grey cells

..although....probably wouldn't do anything worse than being a stay at home Mum for 18 yrs

Benicio DID bring the lobster and ghee. We had 50 martinis together. I think I passed out after that. Not sure what hubby thought

Here's one for you: Open Original Shared Link

[CarlaB]

FIFTY! Holy Cow! I'd be happy with just two!

And, Nikki, hey, I've been a stay-at-home mom since 1988! It didn't cause brain deterioration for me ... but I did home school for 10 of those years.

Lobster sounds good ... shellfish started bothering me though ... ... but I snuck some when we were in Phoenix last month and it didn't bother me at all ... can treating the Lyme be taking care of this? Hope so, because real lobster would be good instead of this imaginary stuff!

Susan, the part I don't like about alcohol is how it alters you mind ... I like the taste .. how weird is that?
