Someone taught me how to understand Cryptic crosswords but I spent too much time on them and just decided to do the normal crosswords. Colossus Crosswords have extremely small squares and heaps and heaps of words to fill in the darn thing. I almost go blind trying to fill it in!
As you know, my books are mostly about Egypt and I read some fiction that Dean Koontz writes. I love Shakespeare and Homer also.
I have a story that a friend sent to me, let me know what you think of it.
This old man went to the Doc and told him that he thought his wife was losing her hearing, but he didnt want her to know he knew, and what should he do?
The Doc said you can test her this way:
Go in the bedrooom and in a normal voice ask, "What's for dinner?" Do that all the way to the kitchen where she is fixing dinner. So he goes home, and from the bedroom he says, "What's for dinner?" No answer. So he goes out in the hall and says, "Whats for dinner?" No answer. So he goes in the dining room and asks, "What's for dinner?" No answer. He goes to the door of the kitchen and asks, "What's for dinner?" She says, "For the fourth time, meatloaf".
An American friend sent that to me. Enjoy! ;D

I am going through The Odyssey now and am enjoying it. I already know the story though. I can even remember some of those tongue twisting names. For Shakespeare, I love Hamlet. I also love other works of his. Those penguins were so funny! I love the penguin hitting the other penguin and knocking it into icy water. I haven't laughed that loud in a while. ;D
I wish that someone could post a link or something, so that others could see it too. I love it!
Guess who got saturated going for a walk in the rain today (I even had my umbrella) ?
That certainly has wrecked MELBOURNE CUP DAY. I wonder which horse will win.

4. He comes out with quotes that can be taken out of context. OH GOD THAT IS SOOO TRUE!!!!! All four reasons are so true but that one is especially superb ...Let me remind you of this quote of Wes: (talking about Owen and himself) We're like an old married couple - never go to bed angry.

ER..................that is an amusing thing to say: We are like a married couple, never go to bed angry............ The the quote from Wes: You have three hundred guys all screaming at the same time.........................
This is sounding like Owen and Wes almost go to bed with eachother. (I still deny that I went to bed with Liz! She just tossed me in MY OWN BED!)
I can sort of understand the part about 300 guys screaming at the same time..........................perhaps they could come to Sydney's Gay Mardi Gras *mind back in gutter*
I love your quotes Peak: Four Reasons I love WES 1. He wears glasses. Mmmmmmm. So do I! 2. He writes screenplays that get to the heart and soul of people. I'm not that brainy 3. He dresses Owen in beautiful clothes. Can I be next to dress Owen?? 4. He comes out with quotes that can be taken out of context. Don't we all..................
*wicked sense of humour takes over Lotus*
Okay, now I am jealous! What about me?? Don't you love me anymore....................... ;D *thinks (in the gutter) that this may be taken out of context*
I just think that Wes is georgous and what a cutie pie he is. ;D He is absolute drool material but my preference is still Owen, then Luke and ,alas but true, last but never least WES *drool*

Hi BP, Okay, they did but no one knows if they kissed eachother, had a sexual relationship or anything. I love these two guys. It isn't like I REALLY want them for sex because I am not that way.
All I know if that Owen and Wes are good friends. If people think that going to bed with another man means something really bad, then perhaps they should think again.
You are allowed to correct me anytime you wish. Send me a PM. Anything (no I don't mean strangling me).
I am back to feeling like a piece of sh*t today. I really still haven't got over my separation. Wow! Happy anniversary to me for being separated EXACTLY 2 years from him.................b*gger! It is the 3rd of November here today. I left him 2 years ago because of his temper, thoughts, selfishness, and hatred towards other people and nationalities etc. etc.
There are 7 different kinds of love. I don't know them all but I can only try and guess. Love for parents Love for siblings Love for husband/wife Love for friends Love for people that are admired a lot I can't think of anything else.
I apologize for not being funny today but I really do feel like rat sh*t. I have lost my sense of humour for today but I sure hope that it comes back soon because I keep crying a lot. I feel like hell today.
You are an extremely lovely person, both inside and outside (I have seen a picture of you). You care for people and people care for you. I can see your inner beauty and I love it. I love you as a person who is beautiful in more ways than one. Caring about other people is sometimes a rare attribute. There are other people like you but not that many.
I have seen too many people kick the under dog about and I think that is extremely sad. They are far worse off than me but I would just love to stick up for them. I would love to protect them. Most friends of mine are 'under dogs'. Not many people care for them. The person I live with is a difficult person but she is human and has feelings. She cries like other people and has feelings. Her friends (friends??) have abandoned her but I keep saying that I won't do that and not to worry because I will always be about. People can't be bothered to stay with other people that they think are over-bearing, or who have a problem. Even just annoyed them.
I don't really understand this world. There is so much hatred in it. I like to look for a beautiful place in this ugly world. I have found a beautiful place on this board and people who love and care for each other. Unfortunately, I feel really awful today.
I don't think that you think Owen and Wes are gay. I think that other people may take it that way. I am not telling you off, so please don't take it that way. PLEASE...................
Saying all that, I hope that people aren't quick to judge Owen and Wes. I hope that they can keep their minds out of the gutter and not think the worst of Owen and Wes. They just are beautiful people on the outside and inside. They make people laugh and/or cry.
I certainly hope that people don't ever miscontrue what is said on this board and make a quick judgement. Only God can judge! God loves us all.
Good grief, I sound like I am writing a thesis on how not to take people the wrong way, and love a person for what they are. Look on the inside and not the outside.
I think at this point I should just be quiet. OWEN AND WES ARE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE TO BE ADMIRED AND LOVED. NO ONE SHOULD MISCONTRUE THEM. *sigh* Okay, I will end this here..........................
Love ya all!

Hi Peak, I hope that I didn't sound like I was insinuating anything. I am a worrier and I didn't want anyone to write anything about them that would demean them. They are both such beautiful people. Darn! You can tell when I get upset (sometimes). I think that they are both straight but I just didn't feel like hearing "they are both gay" or something like that.
Darn it all! I looked at my post and realized that I put down MISCONTRUE when I meant MISCONSTRUE. Oops! Owen loves me!!?? Thanks for that, you put a smile on my face just for imagining that. *takes a bow for smiling for the first time today* Thanks for the hugs! You know how much I adore (and miss) them.
I will PM you and I still owe you a PM from yesterday. Double oops! *sends big bear hugs back to Peak* I guess this makes me a huggy, touchy feely person. ;D

Hi, Be obsessed and keep making those icons. I love them. I didn't think anything awful about what BP and yourself said. Go ahead and nitpick. I don't take any offense at all. I realize that a lot said here is 'tongue in cheek' I just didn't feel like anyone else saying anything about them. I am sure (I think) that I will be a lot happier tomorrow. I just can't hack some things today. I didn't mind BP saying that at all.
I think that I am having trouble expressing myself today *sigh* What next? (laughter and mischief perhaps) '

Lotus, SO sorry for having upset you! I had actually thought of putting a note in that post of mine to say Owen and Wes are straight, but I thought it didn't need to be said - just like we don't keep putting notes for other jokes on the forum. Obviously I need to be more careful, and I will from now on. As for people's sexuality, we can all have different opinions, as you know. Please understand that my slashy comments on any forums are made out of my own understanding that Owen and Wes, Owen and his brothers, and Owen and Ben most prominently, are marketing their slashiness in some ways, like it is shown in the movie Starsky & Hutch and many of the photo shoots promoting the movie. PLEASE don't feel upset about what you said, Lotus, and please feel free to let me know anytime if you find anything I ever say offensive. I would always like to be told about it if I ever upset anyone regarding anything

BP, No worries! ;D It probably was more the fact that my husband and I will never get back together, hitting me in the face. Realisation can be a nasty thing sometimes.
I have to admit though for a bit I was worried about the Owen and Wes in bed together line. That is most likely because I don't think they are gay but I know they are STRAIGHT.
I am too much of a worrier. I was worried what other people would think. Oops! I was hoping that someone would come out and clarify that they were not gay. Happy yes!!
I feel like I have offended you, so don't worry about anything. Everything on the board is written in fun. Even things that I write are all in fun! If it wasn't we would all be a bunch of sex maniacs.
Believe me when I say that it was just a crummy day for me. ;D I will be fine tomorrow. I thought that the dragon scene in Starsky and Hutch was definitely homoerotic (as Peak says). Everytime I see the show, I can laugh more. The dragon scene gets funnier every time.
I will PM you and let you know how I am and how I feel but don't worry about me. I think that everyone on the board is great and that they are very helpful. You all are so very caring.
Love ya!

*smiles and changes her attitude* Gidday mate! I am so glad that I did not offend you! ;D
I promise that I will go to bed nice and early tonight (even if it is 11.45 p.m. here) I will wake up with a wicked sense of humour *evil grin* Of course, I am taking Owen and WES to bed with me tonight because I feel like a heap of hugs, kisses and what ever may come my way...................
I love the words moving under your banner! How did you do that? Wow! It really looks great!
Hear from you tomorrow. *rushes of to bed with Owen and WES* My bed will be a bit SNUG tonight. It is only a single bed. I can DREAM can't I...........................
Love you!
