    I thought a protractor was a doctor that men go to for prostate troubles.

    lolz

     

     

    protractions  when you change 'we will' to 'we'll'  etc

    No that's a contraction    There is a difference between the pros and the cons, they are usually opposites.

     

    contractions is when the babies are comin

    noun

    1.

    an act or instance of contracting.

    2.

    the quality or state of being contracted.

    3.

    a shortened form of a word or group of words, with the omitted letters often replaced in written English by an apostrophe, as e'er for ever, isn't for is not, dep't for department.

    4.

    Physiology. the change in a muscle by which it becomes thickened and shortened.

    5.

    a restriction or withdrawal, as of currency or of funds available as call money.

    Chohole is being pedantic again.

     

    Pedantic? One of my pet peeves is people who use the words psychopath and psychotic interchangeably, depspite the fact that they mean totally different things. Norman Bates, of "Psycho"  fame, is often described as a psychopath when he is in fact one of the least psychopathic characters in the history of popular culture. He is a psychotic.

    Cheers,

    Alex.

    True... But sometimes it is more fun to misuse words because the misuse actually conveys the intended thought more effectively and humorously.

     

    I think it is funnier sometimes when people accidentally use the wrong word.  Children are very prone to doing this.  I remember one argument that my Son had with his Stepdaughter (all of 2 years old at the time she was) which ended up with her in floods of tears, because she wasn't being believed, and Daddy having to phone me up to de-mystify the conversation. She had been on a sleepover with Grandma.

    Is that called mal apropo ? malappropriate? There is a famous (well I heard of it) much copied character from an old play that comes out with those

    Mrs. Malaprop, a character in the Richard Brinsley Sheridan comedy The Rivals (1775).

    I made my first microwaved eggs and sage sausage today!  Only took 5 minutes and tasted WONDERFUL.  I have proven the tech works! surprise 

    I use some small glass bowls I found in a dollar store (Dollar Tree, actually), to microwave EggMcGmuffins... Only there is usually no muffins... Mostly Eggo waffles... The bowls come in two sizes, 4 inch and 3.5 inch diameter... I break an egg into the 4 inch bowl and cover it with the 3.5, which fits neatly inside, just enough to not touch the egg... My microwave is the tricky part, it's 1200 watts so without fiddling with the power I just compensate with time, usually four runs of 8 seconds each and it is good to go... You lightly toast the Eggos... I use a toaster oven, so I can lay a slice of extra sharp cheddar on each of the Eggos then I either drop a slice of deli ham or roast turkey on it, drop the nuked egg on that add salt pepper or whatever I feel up to experimenting with (crickets were a bust, too jumpy) and there's breakfast. Well, usually only on weekends... Other than that it's just bananas and a huge soup mug of coffee.   There are plastic egg nukers, but since I have yet to find a ceramic or glass version, the glass bowls are good enough... I don't like cooking, especially nuking with plastic... I prefer to poison myself with other things.

     

    Sounds pretty good!  I'll probably be moving soon, but I'll use that trick wherever I end up - thanks! smiley

    testing to see if the internet on my desktop works.   My eyes hurt but I am not wearing my glasses.  I could put my glasses on to see if that would help.

    The ethernet ports on the router is broken again.  Rebooting the router doesn't fix connectivity issues.  I think the router is defective.

    Me too, but I've come to the conclusion that nobody at DAZ who could do anything about it cares.  We're just cattle to be milked, not people.  That's OK, most of my milk has dried up.

    Morning. Ragged grey remnants of a tropical storm brushing daybreak from unsettled treetops and grasping city towers with purply dark storm tossed fingers turning day to temporary twilight with a last few drops of rain :)

    Don't think we got more than 0.8 millimetres of rain, can't imagine what 8 inches would be like - very damp I guess :)

    Are you looking in the right place?   Click on the gear icon, the one on the blue-ish line at the top of the page.  Then Click on inbox.  You should then find all your old PMs from the old site and any new ones you have received.

    Yes it is strange, as the links from my PM ebots do work.  I have seen others say that the ebots are not working properly, so it may be something to do with different email providers.
