Hi spread

Difficulty score 21.

HI Drwho

Hello her.

How are you?

Fine as frog's hair.

That means?

Have you ever seen frog's hair?

no?

That's how fine it is.

Oh that bad?

Well, perhaps the pun didn't translate to Australian (or is it New Zealand)?

Australia. and not one i have heard off sorry

If your hair is fine, it means the diameter of each hair is smaller than average (but thick hair just refers to the number of hairs per square inch, not the diameter of the shaft).

Ok. I kinda get that but it cant be that bad can it?

No, it's good. If your hair is so fine nobody can see it, it doesn't get any finer than that.

OH dear lordee, please just slap me for being so dumb, I get it now. its a tad late hear

Its rather early here (Minneapolis).

oscar worthy?

Don't press your luck

i'll go for the tony then

because i was afraid to speak when i was just a lad, me father gave me nose a tweak and told me i was bad

but then one day i learned a world that saved me achin' nose

the biggest word you ever heard and this is how it goes...

oh... supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious

wow, memory lane

if you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious

supercalifragiliticexpialidocious

the sound of it, I must say, is pretty darn otrocious

can't spell :)

Is it okay if I blame my hangover? O:-)

did your father pinch your nose for being shy too?

no answer? next verse then

he travelled all around the world and everywhere he went...

he'd use his word and all would say, "there goes a clever gent"

when dukes and majarajas passed the time of day with me, i'd say me special word and then they'd ask me out to tea

{chorus}

you know you CAN say it backwards which is dociousaliexpyisticfragicalirupus, but that's going a bit too far, don't you think? indubitably.

so when the cat has got your tongue, there's no need for dismay, just summon up this word and then you've got a lot to say

but better use it carefully or it could change your life...

well done

hurshy, someone was just asking about where you were in Babble chat

for example...? yes? one night i said it to me girl, and now me girl's me wife *bop on head with tambourine* oh, and a lovely thing she is too

ok i'll go see what they want

well that was silly.

sorry about that1

not your fault

spose you're gone now

but not forgotten hurshey...

this is true. we will never forget friend stephanie.

How are ya..I haven't babbled in a while

i'm fine, thanks, how are you?

Great the kids are off terrorizing the neighborhood....

how, er... lovely?

Actually my little one is practicing his Cassanova....

oh my - how old is he?

Just turned eight and is with three girls at the moment...

my my my...

one of my cousins is like 13, and there was a party at some restaurant and all the parents were kind of talking at the end or something and my aunt looked out the window and saw him kissing this girl out in the car

so when they get home she says, "so, have you and so-and-so ever kissed or anything?"

and he says, "no"

and she says, "are you sure? and you may want to think about the fact that that window overlooks the parking lot before you answer that."

Hehehe...

yeah i thought it was pretty funny

Puppy love

puppy love isn't what it used to be, the girls are so darn aggressive these days

My guy just is very gentled natured and doen't like to rough it with the boys as much....

well that's not a bad thing

Saves on ER visits.....

yeah :)

The kids in this neighborhood tend to break things and I think they give our subdivision a group discount.

lol

I'm outta here

bye

if you die, will i get word that you're gone? will i hear it in passing conversation? will i stop short and fall to the ground? distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found...

what am i to you? tell me darlin true... to me you are the sea, as vast as you can be, as deep a shade of blue...

evry now and then i get a little bit lonely and you're never comin round

and i need you now tonight

and i need you more thane ver

and if you only hold me tight

we'll be holding on forever

once upon a time i was falling in love, now i'm only falling apart

nothing i can do - total eclipse of the heart

go hursh

hehe :) long as nobody's talkin i guess i just figure i can sing along to my tunes

yep

how's life in artland

artladyland, hehe

good. Just working on things for school, actually. How's life in hurshyland?

either way, it works

but artladyland is more like lunchladyland

...? I'm not sure if that's a good thing...

life in hurshy land is tale of two cities ish

ouch

funny adam sandler song, lunchladyland

I heard you lost a necklace in O'Hare.

why ouch?

i did :( i'm looking for a new one but unable to suit all my requirements so far

ah, not up on much of his "music" other than the Hannukah Song

ouch as in complicated and dramatic (the book, that is)

ah, well, yes, i was mainly thinking of the first line though :)

Only read it once. I very seldom re-read a book. Which is amusing, since I never remember them afterwards!!!

i LOVE to re-read.

but you do remember the first line, right? everyone does!

Is today the best or the worst of times, then?

both :) that's the whole point :)

ah..can't enjoy one without the other

i think i COULD... i HOPE i could

i wonder if they have conventions for recovering depressives. i want to know if any of them are really happy and... and... just happy.

I'm very happy for those who can recover. My husband is one of the few that no treatments help.

i'm sorry :(

go

It's just a fact of our lives.

it's annoying though, that if you have MS or other chronic things people are more ... aware that you are living with something difficult ... but depression, they sometimes don't understand

maybe it just needs a more latin diseasy sounding name

Yep. There's a lot of ignorance about any type of mental illness. I've sure learned that, living with him. It's invisible, so people don't take it as seriously.

there you go!

if we could go around saying "i have chronic neurotoxicity" people would say, awww that sounds awful

maybe they'd even bring you casseroles.

Yum!

hmm, now i'm thinking maybe i'll put my scallops in a casserole instead of just sauteeing them...

i'll have to see if i can do something that doesn't involve heavy cream, since i haven't got any

Oh no...scallops have such a wonderful delicate flavor. They might get overpowered.

I have leftover grilled salmon to use in a salad tonight. Yum!

this is true but i really want casserole, and one has to eat one's seafood fresh, so this is a dilemma

and people do eat coquilles st jacques au gratin...

yikes, just discovered I missed 2 puzzles this week!

and if gratin ain't overwhelming, i don't know what is

anything au gratin...mmmm

point taken

i missed the whole week but i'm caught up now.

well you catch up on your puzzles and i'm going to go see about those scallops.

enjoy

u 2

done. and did it the old fashioned way, without the use of auto-fill.

I don't understand the purpose of doing a puzzle when one lets the compute do it for one, as in autofill.

computeR, that is

it came out pretty good for just making it up now. would have to make more sauce next time, and i didn't cook the broccoli long enough cause i thought of adding it a little late.

but i feel the concept is sound.

good evening all
