Geez, Linda, what a stinking day you had. So sorry all that everything went wrong for you.
Thank you. I' m not a graceful person, know nothing about car tires and should know better than to another person's medicine only if it is just a vitamin. I told the news about my friend in seriousness. It is stage one, so I feel like she will be okay. My mother, who has a remarkable sixth sense, has a good feeling too. Again, thank you.
This health care debacle in the USA makes it a bad time to have a life threatening illness. My younger son has Type I diabetes and his insurance is or may be in peril. I wish the President had picked some other signature legislation. He probably wishes the same by now.

Linda! I'm not a superstitious person and even if I'm happy to find you here, on GR, I'm sure I'd be perfectly fine if I knew you in person. Your friend is very lucky (probably thanks to you...) to have discovered his/her problem while in phase 1, when it's possible to cure it.
Find yourself a handsome tire repairer and convince him to offer you a drink, since you singlehandedly twarted a bank theft (hence the shiner). Tell your swimming friends this and any other tale you can manage to think about your shiner,but never the same one!, and when it will disappear no one will never know the truth.
Last but not least, organize a dinner with your swim friends to celebrate the repairment of the tire, the healing of the eye, the surely improved health of your friend and the not-birthday of everybody else.
My father has insulin-dependent diabetes, he is 78 and he has lived a long and interesting life - he still amuses himself reading, playing chess and being grumpy whenever possible.
Good luck, and be happy!

In my country 'cos' is slang for because. :) So don't use that one or I will assume you mean "just cos"
Sorry for all your bad luck, Linda!

Say you got it kicking ass of about two dozen secret international terrorist organization's minions and all you got in return was a lousy black eyes. You are hoping they hire better minions next time because you love a challenge. :P

I love this one, so funny!
I watched Dredd (movie) on telly last night. Not the greatest movie ever made, but as a bit of a fan of Dredd comics in my twenties I thought Karl Urban killed it.He played Judge Dredd perfectly. (Shame he didn't take his helmet off and show me that beautiful face though).
The girl was good too. Olivia Thirlby.
Dredd http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1343727/
Alicja, my iPhone calls you Slicks. AND hubs and I got good laughs from you video.
Those videos are hilarious! I literally l-o-l when the one guy said "mother ******* quiche"

Its a lot better than the stallone version.
Mark wrote: "Its a lot better than the stallone version. ..."not too difficult. When it comes to 2000AD characters, I'd love someone to make a movie about Slaine or Johnny Alpha.

Glad you like it!
Portia wrote: "Shot, that video is fumy!"Yes, very ducking funny!
And here is an entire site dedicated to auto-correct fails: http://www.damnyouautocorrect.com/164...
It is hilarious! Warning, you may be spending hours there laughing your ass off instead of actually doing something productive.
Some of the funnier pages on there:
1. http://www.damnyouautocorrect.com/165...
2. http://www.damnyouautocorrect.com/501...
OMGI could barely read those I was laughing so hard. Don't think I'll be able to read them at work, I'd give myself away. :)
Wow, never seen this thread so inactive before I can actually hear the crickets playing!
Some days it is active, some days it is inactive. It is not uncommon for it to be weeks without a post here. Then there will be activity and then it will quieten down again.Pretty normal ebb and flow. Especially this time of year. :)
Been reading, shopping and cleaning. Holiday time seems to be a slower, refletive time. Just finished Shadow of the Alchemist and enjoyed it as ii am a big fan of the protagonist and it is a fun mystery series. Read The Blood Spilt (love this series)and am working on A review for anothe GR member C Wayne Dawson, called Vienna,s Last Jihad which covers an interesting historical time in the Ottoman wars in Europe. Merry Christmas to all
Just now read the autocorrect pages. Pretty funny! That poor guy got dumped tho. D'oh!
I'm passing this on from Terri:Logged onto Goodreads this morning and found the comment box on the site is not working for me.
I have sent Goodreads a message, but it will be days before I hear back from them. They may not be able to help me solve the issue.
If members notice I am missing from A&M Group, this is why. I cannot comment. I can read your comments. I cannot answer them.
So, if you have a question for me, my Goodreads private messages is working. You can contact me that way.

A-HA now it works for me..... Whatever Terri had i had it too ;) Darn library books!
I can comment! emergency over??I had Terri's problem. Couldn't type in comment box.

PS Terri that'll learn yous to gloat over some poxey "replica" urn...... :p :p
You know how people put up those fake fireplaces on their TVs during the holidays? Especially in places like Florida where we have ten times (at least) more pools than fireplaces in our homes?Well, I found a really, really awesome one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo1YG_...
It is nerd-tastic!!
And then there is the Science fireplace: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCj2oN...And some chemistry fun fireplace: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_SqrX...
My cable package comes with a fireplace channel. Also, have a fish tank one.

That was crazy this morning. To not be able to comment on GR. Goodness. I thought GR was censoring me (only kidding).I couldn't comment via laptop, tablet or iPad. When I couldn't comment on the laptop I was stricken! I thought it was my laptop.
Then I tried my tablet and the problem was still there. I felt better then. not laptop.
Then I checked via iPad and problem was still there. That was when I relaxed.
Clearly not a google problem if it was broke on iPad too.
I am having a disastrous time trying to post comments still however.I regularly get the 'there was a problem saving your comment' and I have to go back to the previous screen to find my comment and click 'post' again.
Terri wrote: "That was crazy this morning. To not be able to comment on GR. Goodness. I thought GR was censoring me (only kidding)."NOW I insist to know what were you trying to post! :P
haha. Oh it is was all very innocuous. No naughty words. :]
I added some quotes from the Pale Horseman that I liked and they have since disappeared. I wonder if it is just an error or if GR erased them on purpose. I wish I had saved them separately somewhere.
Strange. GR has been all over the place, maybe there is a bug with saving quotes.

NNTA IS an valid acronym for the meaning you gave. I looked it up.
http://www.allacronyms.com/NNTA"
Well how about that! NNTA! that is. I was legitimate! Feel like Holly Hunter. Now we can all use RQ and know what we are talking about. Good girl, Jane.
