No, not necessarily, the another refers to the 8/9 combo rather than to the fe part of it.

4:32 am

there is a word that was brand new to a lot of people (including me), the sh7/40, an interesting one, both the word and the definition.

Ah, a familiar word in these parts.....
4:33 am

Oh, I need to see that word! *starts hunting*

I've made it sound as though illegal drinking dens are everywhere - it's not quite that bad!

That sh7 is a very common word in SA
4:36 am

Is it like one of those impossible yiddish word?
4:36 am
FranMag

it's sort of a compound word sprite
4:36 am
Eva

no-more like one of those impossible irish words I think
4:36 am
FranMag

at least the two parts are words on their own.
4:36 am
Haz1558

It's a combination of a female pronoun and a past participle of 'to be'
4:37 am

4:40 am

stole is such a strong word sprite, you "adapted" it. :-)
4:53 am

Now I feel guilty!
4:54 am

4:54 am

Ah but Fran, Dutch is full of stolen words. We even have words to define which language we stole them from... like germanism, romanism...

the long he's mean to make dull or blunt, but you'll never have heard of the words. They start with the he4/7 before them, and then add the Modern Art gallery in London for the 8, and make it into a noun and a noun pl for 10 and 11.

there's a monthly art thing I take part in, with a monthly theme for "contest" entries. A recently proposed theme is "lovers". People go yay and start talking about every lover they can think of. All man and woman. So I say what about homosexual lovers? Is that being allowed and if so, at what degree of "passion"? And the first reply was from someone I dislike anyway and all she wrote was

"EWWWWWW!!!!!

Well, I supposed it takes all kinds to make the world go round, as they say."

Are people still really that homophobic??
9:38 am
Inge2

wow, good clues, Vicuna, and you're right; never ever heard of those words

I have no personal wish to draw homosexual lovers, but I'm damn well going to make sure other people can if they want to!

Yes, the world at large is still so homophobic that here in Asheville, there are "recovery" groups to change the God-given gifts of local individuals. Here in the south, Angela, we can give your population a run for its money. Sad and pathetic...

My parents raised me to respect everyone, not just people who I agree with or have the most in common with. Not fair. People are born that way and they cannot change that any more than I can change the fact that I'm Italian. Just my opinion.

Hello, Scarlet..... I guess I just didn't participate
9:43 am
Vicuna

(Oops, missed your rant, Ata.) Yes, penty of homophobia going around. And I think the "eeew" factor is huge. Lots of people are willing to live and let live as long as they don't have to see it or think about it. But as soon as you draw a picture of it, they freak out.

Oh, may I mention a wedding we attended last Fall - 2 of the dearest men you would ever want to know, had a wedding Thanksgiving weekend - it was the happiest occasion you would ever want to attend - I've never seen people at a wedding mix and mingle so beautifully - everyone was very friendly and mixing just beautifully - two lovelier people you would never hope to find
9:43 am

Atalante - I applaud your ability to think of others and to try to include everyone. The world would be a better place if everyone thought of others once in a while. The day will come when people are more open-minded....right?
9:43 am
Scarlet

Right on, Angela. We are who we are, and if we don't accept the green people, the polka-dotted people and the people who have made true contributions to this planet... then we are bereft, hollow and shallow.

My husband and I were involved in a wedding a few years ago, and I was the "Best Woman" for two amazing men who felt committed enough to be married... it was an extraordinary celebration.

One of the most memorable photographs I've ever seen was of two couples in a park in San Francisco. One was an older couple, eating lunch and holding hands. In the foreground were two men, sitting on a blanket, sort of leaning into each other, looking into each other's eyes tenderly....
9:46 am
Atalante

I think I will! actually, what I might do is just draw a close up of lips kissing or something, and just say they are 2 men or 2 women in the blurb under the photo

I actually like doing that Vicuna - my friend Kristy and I go out shopping and they find out later that she has a girlfriend and the look on some faces is just priceless. Apparently, she looks "normal". Cracks me up.
9:47 am
Vicuna

Oh, Ata, I didn't for a moment suggest you shouldn't rant and vent! lol That's important, too!
9:47 am

I've been playing at weddings for over 20 years, and I've yet to be asked to play at a gay wedding. One of my best friend's daughter married another woman, but they didn't want music...
9:47 am
Atalante

I know, but your point is very important too!
9:47 am
Scarlet

Ata, why not the "prelude to a kiss"... the anticipation of a physical connection without the actual contact?
9:47 am

Normal, lol, we are all on a spectrum, no?

great idea Ata - sounds perfect!

Many homophobes (of whom my father-in-law is an example) have never knowingly met a gay person, let alone knowing a gay couple well enough to recognize that they are perfectly capable of meaningful relationships with each other and with God.

harpjane, my sister worked in a nursing home for a while, one of her saddest stories was the woman that was there and her husband, that showed up and did EVERYTHING for her every day. He told the nurses "she's taken care of me for 50 years, now I'm taking care of her"

I reckon all rites for the dead are for the benefit of the living. So I tell my husband if I die first he can do whatever makes him feel better.

in my family, no one has really had any after death requests. I mean... no one even really prefers burial over cremation or visa versa. We've always thought that since we'll be dead, we won't care a whole lot.

my father in law didn't want anything but he was the mayor here for years and always in politics, so we did something more for everyone else.

The trappings and traditions of the dead are more for the living. My instructions upon my death are to be cremated with no ceremony performed and no final resting place. I would like my ashes deposited with new growth, hopefully to help it make its to strong and healthy.

My point, Rabble, is that if you're dead, and trappings are, as you say, for the living, why should your wishes be honored over those of the living?
10:16 am

Because you can't rely on the living to have good taste.....

Magical Trevor 2 Lyrics

He's back and he's got a new trick,
Magical Trevor is ten times as slick,

As the last time, the last time you saw him
Now you can see why we really adore him

You might think his new trick is sick,
Sawing a pigeon in half with a stick.
Look at the pigeon, now it's in two.
Oh my, its rear end is having a poo.

Look at the mess in aisle two.
Aisle two, that's the place where we saw the Ragu
There's so much Ragu...

Magical Trevor 3
Magical Trevor is here for the day,
we all love him, its safe to say.
It's 12 PM so he starts with a thriller,
he's gonna do tricks with a chinchilla.
Covers it up with his magical cloak,
gets out some petrol and gives it a soak.
Look out kids, he's playing with matches,
he better be careful in case that cloak catches
on fire. Oh no, the cloak is on fire.
Its turning to ashes with our furry friend,
when will this horror finally end?
Oh look its okay well that was amazin',
the chinchilla's just fine but now its turned into a raisin.
Shame no one's watching, put this in you journal.
Dear Diary, chinchillas sure are nocturnal.
Check up your animal facts next time Trevor
Ooh. You sure get nice coats at "World of Leather".
