Melrick

A happy day to you!

'Twas my baby brother's birthday... so yes. Hope yours was fun!

They're okay. Unless they bite you, in which case you stop being okay.

I have a feeling we'll be having this discussion for a very long time. Spiders are NOT okay... ever. No shape, size or form... well, except dead form. Then they're okay.

Patience is essential. Often entirely absent for me, but essential. My mom takes gold in complaining, btw.

I think I'd rather stubborn than endlessly complaining.

So would I.

Stephen King had something similar happen, and he ended up withdrawing a book over it. I forget which one now.

Ah, my mistake. I thought you meant it had happened somewhere. I'm blaming elves for putting me off.

Well the thing is, I uploaded my story before the episode appeared here, but I don't know how far behind America we are with the episodes.

LMAO. Well, with a kitten, you look for what looks like punctuation marks at the testes aren't descended yet.

I also told her to have a poke around down there. She's bound to find something.

hehe yeah, like cat claws and fangs for the invasion!

Nice to have you playing with us!

My personal goal is to meet every one of these increasingly odd prompts.

That's pretty hardcore, BW! Good luck.

Hey, sanity is vastly overrated...

Phrases are particularly good.

Or for an even harder challenge like a phrase and a word.

But that would depend on how you play it

Getting good ideas. Keep them coming! It seems there is a need for a monthly version, so it'll be implemented likely at the start of August. I still need to work out the details, so I appreciate the ideas.

From what I've seen on ff.net (yeah, not the best place, I know) they have word prompts, phrase prompts and sometimes song prompts. (for example my most recent one is a Taylor Swift song with a couple of word prompts)

it really does all vary, which is what you could do in a way, have one month having a word, a second month with a phrase and a third month with a song or something like that. Obviously it is just ideas and what I've seen when looking around when writers block...

I may not live in England, but yes, plain chocolate is dark chocolate.

PS - I'm now craving McVitie's wholemeal biscuits with plain chocolate. LMAO!

lol I've never tried those biscuits, but I will one day. And thanks for the info!

You betcha!

yup! My kids and hubby got me Skyrim! woot!

I'm waiting for the expected GOTY edition with included dlc etc Maybe go re-play Morrowind or Oblivion in the meantime.

I LOVE mine! I highly recommend them! They are the format that you can get the most books for actually.

Good. I'll ask you a follow-up question in PM.

Finally a prayer I can get behind! Read and memorized.

That was so hilarious I had to print it!!

lol I thought some people would appreciate it.

Yay!

I sure hope so. It's a pain in the arse, not to mention the wallet.

Oh, do tell! I'm babying my aging kitchen appliances myself.

I am too. I agree with Bronx, rule of three needs to apply.

Depends on how you look at it, as the invasion and monster ones didn't happen either. I can really live without the Twilight Zone aliens in "To Serve Man," too. I don't want drunk partiers literally crashing into a tree or my bedroom. Hover cars would help with snow and flooding though, those I want more than the jet pack!

You know, 2011 got to you before the states. So you were talking to most of us from the future. ^^

yup, leave it to Melrick to be the future guy!

I love the challenge of trying to get them all in at once.

posted this to fb too

Okay.

*hugs*

*hugs* What Bronx said...

I just want it all to end, for everything to just go away so I'm finally at peace for once in my life. I'm so tired.

Yikes?

^ What she said

Serenity now! That's what I'd like. Nice, calm, peaceful serenity, with nothing ELSE going wrong, just for a change.

The pace maker has been installed and it looks like she'll be coming home tomorrow. They didn't even need to knock her out to put it in. The things they can do these days.

That's wonderful news!

That's fantastic!

Fingers crossed. It won't stop me from worrying for a good long while though.

Of course it won't stop the worry, but at least it's no longer a mystery illness. Knowing what's wrong means it can be treated.

And it will give mum a chance to regain her strength and enjoy life again.

Here's hoping that won't be for a good while yet.

Your mom is lucky to have you Melrick. You're a good son!

Well... I'm not very good with compliments so I'll just poke my tongue out instead. :-P

::nods:: I avoided it as well and went from XP to Win7.

I had the misfortune to experience it on hubby's laptop. I crashed the OS in less than 2 minutes. LOL

lol I consider myself among the fortunates that weren't exposed to the mess that was Vista.

Your very welcome, and I wish you the best of luck with whatever you do in life.

Thanks. :-)

You very welcome.
