[Félix]

Come out, come out wherever you are, Karen!

[Michele]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY! We had a great dinner kn a warm comfortable house. everyone walked away full. The family was together and mostly healthy. A lot to be thankful for and I took a minute during the meal to remind everyone just how much we had to be thankful for. However, the turkey is all gone! No leftovers. Bigger turkey next time.

[Malcolm]

Hi all, I'm from Bristol, England. I'm new to goodreads and I'm just exploring and checking things out.

Welcome Malcolm.

I wasn't sure if I should tell you to...

...run while you have the chance Malcolm they are all mad as hatters in here.

...or start talking about the Ashes series. :D

[Félix]

Welcome, Malcolm.

[[deleted user]]

I beat you to it Larry!!!

[Félix]

Yes you did!

[Malcolm]

Hi Gail and Larry. I take no interest in the snorefest that is the Ashes series. The English play cricket like girls anyhow. West Indian cricket is far more exciting :o)

[Michele]

welcome,Malcolm. Hey Larry, another one who does not have a picture/icon...I must have set a trend.

[Malcolm]

Hi Michelle. I have no picture/icon because my mobile device is playing up :o(

[[deleted user]]

I am sure if we work on Malcolm he will quickly post a picture. He is already showing a lot of sense regarding cricket!

[Malcolm]

So are you going to buy me a new ZTE Racer then or a laptop?

[Malcolm]

Ought I set up a wishlist so you can all club together and buy me a new mobile device or laptop?

[[deleted user]]

Replace your avatar with a picture and we might think about it. :)

[Malcolm]

As I explained earlier my mobile device is playing up. It has seemed to have deleted all my pics from my memory card and won't let me save anything new on it grr. . . And you making a song and dance about me not having a pic isn't helpful. Get a life or read a book or something ffs

[Malcolm]

Where are you from Gail - UK, USA or AUS?

[Félix]

I've never heard the term "playing up." Does that mean it's giving you fits?

[[deleted user]]

It wasn't me asking for a new laptop or ZTE Racer. It was really aimed at Michelle, my apologies I must have been typing when you mentioned the phone in Msg 1220. I get a bit of time delay on the posts at this end. AUS

[Malcolm]

Barb who says I'm upset apart from you? You should learn the meaning of irony ffs

[Malcolm]

Lol no it's not turning me epilectic or convulsive. It just has a shitty manual and a will of its own grr . . . Aus nice. Are you for or against our dear old queen? . .

03:30 here. I'm off to the land of Nod. Adieu.

[Félix]

yee hah

[[deleted user]]

@ Malcolm. Indifferent to the Queen. She is our head of state but impacts on our country in no way shape or form. I did vote to become a republic in the last referendum.

@ Larry
Really? Playing up is a common term here. It has two meanings.

"Playing up" - with reference to boys out on the town being a bit naughty.

"Playing up" - a device of any kind that isn't working properly.

[Félix]

*purrs like a kitten*

[[deleted user]]

I am finding this conversation very confusing.

::also giving favourite Monkey a pat::

[Félix]

Crazy lingo lady. :)

[Félix]

YEE HAH!!

[[deleted user]]

ROFLMAO

[Félix]

So the SQUIRREL is playing up?

[Félix]

ouch

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Sorry, but why does that squirrel have breasts?

[Félix]

Wow you're right -- it does have some cleavage.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Barb! Put on your glasses! They're huge.

[[deleted user]]

It can be used in reference to kids misbehaving. You would say that the kids were 'playing up'.

The squirrel just looks like he's having fun.

[Michele]

HEY1 I did it! I did it! I posted an avatar...thanks for everybody's help. Using the "internet for seniors for dummies" was a help as well. and my sister in law who told me what a "right click" was.

[[deleted user]]

Congratulations Michele!!!!!

[smetchie]

Yay michele!! Thank you!!

Thanks Michele!!

[Michele]

Malcolm, my comment was aimed at a certain person who will remain unnamed who vigorously urged me to post a pid or avatar. repeatedly. take your time. hope you had a good night. good luck with your computer. That's why I am sticking with my old fashioned photo albums.

[Malcolm]

Thanx Michele :o)

[Malcolm]

Hi all, just thought I'd pop in for a peep from the warmth and comfort of my bed.

How is everyone? Did you Yanks have a good thanksgiving? Did you buy many xmas presents going cheap in the sales?

Why do they called the thanksgiving sales "black" when it's supposed to be a retailer's economy boost? Traditionally economic disasters such as the Wall Street Crash as termed "black"

[Malcolm]

*are termed as* grr lol

It refers to "in the black" (the opposite of "in the red"). Retailers are turning a profit.

[Malcolm]

Thanks Rock Lobstergirl. I was a tad confused lol how are you? Where in the world are you?

[Malcolm]

How does one check out other's profiles? When I click on a name all I get is a list of their comments made within this group :o(

[Jonathan]

Try clicking the avatar photo instead of the name. That works in my browser at least. Are you surfing the web with a computer or a phone? Can make a difference sometimes...

[Malcolm]

By phone. Yeh, after I posted my last comment I clicked on lobster's pic and discovered her profile. Thanx Jonathan :o)

[Malcolm]

Hi Jonathan I just had a quick glance at your profile. Very impressive. American Gothic is the picture the satirize at the begining of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, isn't it? The farmer and his wife outside of their barn (or a church). In the film we are introduced to Brad and Janet at a wedding.
