1:58 pm
Judi
1. Step into grocery store. 2. Yell, "Oh my God! Justin Bieber is in the parking lot!". 3. Step aside for stampede. 4. Proceed to shop in empty store.

lil*monkey

5:30 pm
hurshy
it is a type of alcohol
5:32 pm
hurshy
it's, you know, like a french pronunciation so you don't see it as easily
5:34 pm
Jellen
Could you provide a dumbed down clue for the co7 please?

Jellen
Oohhhhh! lol
5:36 pm
lil*monkey
hurshy I thought I knew every kind of alcohol in the world, but I can't find the co6
5:37 pm
hurshy
However, there’s something to be said about the sheer decadence that is settling back with a good Co6 in a balloon snifter, in front of the fire place, dog and hunting rifle not far away – after dinner.
5:38 pm
Jellen
co + flying pest - t + consonant
5:38 pm

I posted a short story on a writing site for critique.
5:42 pm
lil*monkey
oh wow! Yes that sounds truly scary.
5:42 pm
lil*monkey
Good for you! That is awesome :)
5:43 pm
Jellen
It's a cool site called Scribophile. You post work and write critiques.
5:51 pm
Jellen
Well, hmmm. I don't think I'm getting a turkey dinner. Still haven't heard from anyone.

9:05 pm
rururocks
did you get the house? or you're still waiting?
9:06 pm
scrambler
got it ,thank you very much!
9:06 pm
Jellen
Nope. My bro, who controls my big purchases, said no.
9:06 pm
rururocks
oh.. how does he control your purchase?
9:06 pm
Jellen
I'm very disappointed.
9:07 pm
Jellen
I'm a trust fund baby.
9:07 pm
rururocks
i'm sorry.. sounded like something that would have worked for you
9:07 pm
Jellen
It's a pain.
9:07 pm
rururocks
oh.. so your brother controls the trust
9:08 pm
rururocks
does he think you should own your own house ?
9:08 pm
rururocks
would you adopt me ? :D
9:08 pm
Jellen
He said I would have to sell my current house first.
9:09 pm
rururocks
well.. that makes a lot of sense.. except that's pretty hard to do unless you're really lucky with timingt
9:09 pm
Jellen
I make enough to live on.
9:10 pm
rururocks
I have a lot of relatives in Oklahoma :D
9:10 pm
Jellen
I'll never get this house in salable condition while living here.
9:11 pm
Jellen
I remember that!
9:11 pm
rururocks
yes.. sometimes you have to move out to fix stuff up .. we had to when we sold our last house
9:12 pm
rururocks
then you wonder why you never fixed it up to enjoy it more while you lived there
9:12 pm
Jellen
I've enlisted the help of a family friend to talk to him about it.
9:13 pm
rururocks
sounds like it would be easier to move just once and then fix up the other and put it back in the trust
9:17 pm
scrambler

9:25 pm
Jellen
It got torn apart, but I survived!
9:26 pm
rururocks
it can be brutal huh?
9:26 pm
rururocks
a lot of it is constructive though isn't it?
9:27 pm
Jellen
Very constructive. I'm working on revising it now.
9:29 pm
rururocks
I saw the comments on crossy's book on some web-site and some comments were rude and others really constructive
9:29 pm
rururocks
it's a gift to be able to write well
9:30 pm
rururocks
I like to write .. but I need a grammar proof-reader :D
9:31 pm
Jellen
I learned a lot about grammar when I had to teach it to college freshmen.
9:32 pm
