Guys, c'mon...

You are talking about food AGAIN, and my delivery isn't coming for another *checks clock* at least eight hours.

You pretty much answered this but I was wondering what kind of delivery takes 8 hours other than groceries. Groceries it is.

It you dont have eggs, bum some off a neighbor. Easy and quick.

Is that a technical botanical term, because I am unfamiliar with that kind of spinach. And I thought I knew most kinds because next to Popeye, I may well be spinach's biggest fan.

The leaves grow large enough and in such a shape that you can wear them on your head like Robin Hood's hat. So, yes, to answer your question - this is a technical botanical term.

I misread that as "burn", not "bum" and was horrified as to what kind of neighbors you guys have.

Wow.

I didn't know there was a variety of spinach that grew big enough for that.

Unless you have an abnormally small head, which I'm pretty sure you do not.

It grows wild, you say?

It is past 2am. I don't think requests for food would be appreciated.

A mint Cornetto, black coffee and half a banana will see me through...

Huh... you know, this "I lack confidence" thing seems to be coming up a lot in my conversations lately. Seriously, it's uncanny. Three times in the past week when discussing either my future ambitions or my current ambitions, that point has been raised.

That's probably an indication you could/should start working on it now.

True enough. Though "be more confident" isn't exactly something you can just start doing, especially after 21 years of a pattern of very non-confident behaviour.

Argh, everyone keeps mentioning sweet potato fries.

And BW, go to sleep. I am doing so now before my own stomach starts growling.

I leave this though:

Now Fen mentions it, sleep does sound awfully good right about now.

Serious Mod Business

Okay guys, the number of f-bombs dropped in here is getting to be more than occasional, and - gods, I don't even know where the thread is to link to it right at this particular moment (a supermod would have it at their fingertips I bet) - there are younger AWers browsing as well, so can we please try to keep things PG-13? Please.

I know there isn't a profanity filter on AW, but that doesn't mean we get free reign to use whatever language we want here, m'kay?

Continue...

Yeah. I'm going to bed, peace out my lovelies.

And RA, if you want, can suggest stuff for ya tomorrow. Not difficult stuff.

I think swearing is contagious. Sorreh. I will get vaccinated tomorrow.

*hits the bed like a rock, still wearing wifebeater & gym shorts*

*psnooooooooooze*

I always thought the F-bomb was a fairly standard swear word. I'd be concerned if young people didn't hear it regularly... yeah, there's a reason my friend doesn't want me around her children.

Anyway, bed! I need to be there. So goodnight, I guess.

There are people from all over the world on AW, and it is seen differently elsewhere. I'm sure we can all think of other words we can use when there isn't a direct need for profanity.

Have a good night.

amergina said:

You know, I had to check to see if I actually did edit the f-bomb out of my last post before I posted it. And I did. *whew*

If we keep back the stronger language for when it is needed, it takes on more power. If you want, you can consider this a little writing challenge you can set yourself.

I decided about a year ago that there was no such thing as success and failure - there was just getting better at something, and the practise/work it took to get there.

It got rid of a whole lot of worry. Now the only time I worry is when someone else is evaluating me - because they still have definite standards of success/failure. YMMV, but it worked for me.

amergina said:

RA, writing a novel is *hard*. It's really hard.

Click to expand...

Um, this. For me, the creation of the story/characters is the fun bit. Writing it out is just work that has to be done if I ever want someone else to feel what I feel in my head.


And BigWords -apologies. I think it's because everyone feels comfortable in here, which is good, but I'm sure we can find other ways to express things.

We can call it writing practise

hey We both thought of it as writing practise. I'm thinking like BigWords

*has a proud*



And good night RA and Raven. Sweet dreams to all those sleeping.

That should actually worry you.

Yeah, no, not the kind of thing you want young kids hearing. Which is why I got creative once my little one was born.

I have very interesting alternatives now which I try and use. Most of the time.

Next time someone looks at me in surprise when I say I'm studying to be a paramedic and asks how I'm going to do that job when I'm so small, I'll just tell them that I think like a large scottish man with a hagrid beard.

I'm sure that'll work

The beard isn't massive.

I'm not Santa.





There is no sanity clause.

I should send you a pic of him with his niece. He's all kinds of mush, really.

Its not the size of the beard that matters, its the fluffiness.

Going by the picture beforehand, I figured the beard was as long as I was tall.

Your profile pic says differently, but that's because of photoshop, no? I mean, all my dreams will be dashed if that picture isn't an accurate representation

*sniffs*

He does need a better profile pic. The one now doesn't do him justice.

But alas, the hair is longer than the beard.

Sweet potatoe chips aren't really done here in aus, but judging by the talk in here, and the talk Raven's ideas in Fen's cooking thread, that's something I need to rectify.
