What are you still doing up? Fancy a quick msn chat?


az

Oops, got my hours back-to-front! So no doubt you're at work now and not up at 4am for reasons known best to yourself.

Well anyhoodle, some other time.

Loved the Walmart Wine email, btw.


az

Thanks, Kid....

I am at work currently, though taking a couple of minutes eye-rest.

If you are up and around when I am home from work, I can MSN. I have a meeting briefly, though, so may well miss you.

Well, I don't expect to be up too much longer. Just kinda hanging out and feeling a bit at loose ends, you know?

Perhaps I'll catch you online for a chat over the weekend.

Thought you would be interested in this.

Hi az.....

Poor thing. I hate those types of dreams. I don't have too many of them of late, luckily.

I have been reading up on the study of dreams, recently, and seem to have found the topic crop up in an amazing series of coincidences. My friend at work loaned me a book about the Yogic method of dream interpretation. I was listening to an interview on the CBC with J. Allan Hobson, the author of a book "13 Dreams Freud Never Had: A New Mind Science". It sounded very interesting, so I am going to buy it. Today, one of the topics of the service was the study of dreams.

Criminey.... I answered a posting from some time ago.... I will now read your actual posting....

Thanks for giving me the link. I am get the updates to that board, but I hadn't gotten to it, yet.

hi there,

A question.

Does the word 'frigging' mean 'female masturbation' to you? I always thought it was just a milder form of 'f**king'. Kind of like saying 'sugar' instead of 'sh*t'. Anyhow, just got asked why I used this word - really I was just trying not to swear (for a change!).


az

Sorry, Just found your posting....

Well, to tell the truth, it does mean masterbation (unisex) (according to the dictionary, it also means sexual intercourse), but it is in general use more as a mild oath. The vast majority of people don't associate it with the former meaning. Personally, I'm not of the opinion that it is a "dirty" word. More often than not, I use fricking or frikkin', instead.

Like many exclamations (bloody, bastard, bugger....) which were, once-upon-a-time, considered obscenities, friggin or fricking have come into more acceptible use. I think that the dictionaries are just behind the times, as is whoever complained about your using it.


frig (!) Verb. To masturbate. [Late 1600s]
Exclam. An exclamation of annoyance

frigging Adj./Adv. Euphemism for 'f***ing', used as a general intensifier. E.g."There's no frigging way that I'm lending you any money."

I was about to mention the Eyebrow of Doom here but then thought you might prefer to do so yourself.

We bought a digital camera this past weekend. Want to see it?

What do you think? In retrospect it seems to have way more features than we'll probably ever use but oh well. Now all we have to do is figure out how to use it.

What sort of camera do you use?


az

Sorry I didn't respond earlier.

The link never did connect at home, but did today at work.

It looks like a good camera. Hope you have as much fun with it as I have with mine....

How are you? LTNH. I haven't been on MSN for a long whi,e because I had to uninstall it when I was having "puter probs after Xmas. I will have to re-install it. I have to put all the photos on my hard-drive onto disk, first, though, as I am running out of usable space.

I just loaded some photos of some dying roses and petals. I can't give the link, as they have the site blocked on the Gov't server

hi darling,

Can you do me a favour and check to see if you are able to download or copy my Fotki photos? I thought I had it set so that they could only be viewed - not downloaded.

Will explain why later.

Thanks!

az

I will have to check later in the day, as Fotki is blocked by the Government server.

I also can't email you from my non-Government email, as that is blocked, too.

buenos días!

Just to tell you that I made a request on your behalf to have your full email address from Alfredo's thread. It seems he posted the address twice without the (remove this) thingy and I reckoned you had put that there for a reason.

Anyhow, the moderators told me it didn't contravene the House Rules so maybe you'll have to ask them yourself if they can just edit out that bit.

I also posted this on Alfredo's thread, just so nobody else ends up posting the address again.


az

Sighhh.... I know. I may have to do that.

Check out my latest two postings in the Chief Gordon's thread....

How are your eyes now??? I just replied to that posting as I am such a dope when it comes to spraying myself with sh*t. Total duh!

I think if you yikes'd the postings and mentioned that you hadn't wanted your entire email address posted - that it was a breach of privacy - it would have more weight than me just doing this on your behalf.

az

Yes... I'll warn Alfredo I am going to do that, just to let him know it isn't him I'm yikesing...
