One day I would like to...

[Maryd.]

Um... Ok.

[Henry P]

One day everyone will understand me

[Maryd.]

I hope so... Me too.

[Captain Cosine]

One day I would like to leave my cozy shell :)

[Maryd.]

One day I would like to win the lottery... Hahahaha, sorry thought I throw that in.

[Henry P]

so would I one day

[Maryd.]

One day i would like to be able to write music.

[Henry P]

do you play anything, my dear?

[Maryd.]

No, I wish...

[Henry P]

One day I'd like to be unconcerned about what people think about me

[Maryd.]

I think your fine sir.

[Henry P]

thanks, my dear. But I do care what you think

[Maryd.]

:hug::hug::):hug::)

[Henry P]

That deserves a:rose:

[Maryd.]

:cheekkiss::cheekkiss::cheekkiss:

[Henry P]

I feel all loved up now

[Maryd.]

One day I would like to meet my sweetes on line friends.

[Henry P]

does that include me?

[Maryd.]

Ah, you are on top of the list... If I never meet any of my friends it would be sad. If I never meet you, it would be devastating.

[Henry P]

we'll have to make it happen, then

[Maryd.]

I think we've been through this conversation, once before...

[Henry P]

yes, I'll keep it dormant but alive

[Maryd.]

One day I shall go back to living in reality.

[Henry P]

Human kind cannot bear too much reality (TS Eliot)

[Maryd.]

Yes... But all this fantasy, is turning me into your characters from the movie you just finished watching... (Your ships!)

[Henry P]

ships?

[Maryd.]

It's a saying... Maybe unknown, where you are from.. Never mind.

[Henry P]

One day i'll learn to type faster

[Maryd.]

fasjfakj'vj'sdvikm'SDLVM'aorijg'zdfn ZLKmLKSJV@o

That was real fast...

[Henry P]

you're funny, my dear

[Maryd.]

No, I am a fast typist see...

[Henry P]

that would mean something in Java script

[Maryd.]

Yes, it means... :bleh:

[Henry P]

No, you misinterpreted the use of the semi-colon. It means you are a cheeky girl

[Maryd.]

Only on Fridays... Hahahaha, oops it's Thursday eve here... Now I'm cheeky 2 days a week... Hahahahahaa

[Henry P]

I like cheeky Maryd

[Maryd.]

I bet you do... I like the funny Henry

[Henry P]

I'll do my best

[Maryd.]

One day I would like to be first on someone's list.

[Henry P]

You're the first person I talk to each day at the moment

[Maryd.]

Nice..

[Henry P]

and the last every night

[Maryd.]

Nice again...

[Henry P]

and during the day when I have time...

[Maryd.]

Nice, for a third time

[Henry P]

I like the way our hours don't match. It keeps me thinking

[Maryd.]

I don't, because it keeps me thinking.

[Henry P]

thinking is good for you. Your brain literally develops as you think

[Maryd.]

Pifff.. What brain?

[Henry P]

The one beneath the black curls

[Maryd.]

One day I would like to move the black curls, to see if one really exist.

[Henry P]

something accounts for the poems and warm words

[Maryd.]

The heart... Not the head.

[Henry P]

I once listened to my chest with a stethoscope. Nothing. I might be dead

[Maryd.]

I can hear mine through an earthquake... Or a tremor that is... We've never had an earthquake.

[Henry P]

Have you had your blood pressure measured?

[Maryd.]

No, not for a long time. Do you think I should?

[Henry P]

It's good to be checked once in a while

[Maryd.]

I hate going to the doctors when I am not sick, no doubt I will catch something while I am there.

[Henry P]

I don't go unless I'm ill either. I haven't been for ages except when I had my ear done

[Maryd.]

I remember that... Poor dear, you were so sore, I felt it here.

[Henry P]

Aw, you're sweet, my dear

[Maryd.]

One day I hope to stop suffering with empathy

[Henry P]

A very sweet wish. I can't deny it

[Maryd.]

Thanks Merry p

[Henry P]

One day i 'll look you in the eye, my dear

[Maryd.]

Sighs

[Henry P]

and give you a great big:hug:

[Maryd.]

Thanks... Heaven knows I need it today.

[Henry P]

so have i been helpful today?

[Maryd.]

Yes... Thanks her friend with all her heart

[Henry P]

:cheekkiss:

[Maryd.]

:hug:Feeling totally needed right now:hug:

[Henry P]

:angel:

[Maryd.]

Ok, starting to feel sleepy

[Henry P]

Shall I hypnotise you, my dear?

[Maryd.]

To late.

[Henry P]

I'll try it tonight, then

[Maryd.]

One day I will understand this crazy world.

[Henry P]

it's too big for anyone to understand , my dear

[Maryd.]

hmmm.

[Henry P]

trepidation as Maryd goes hmmmm again

[Maryd.]

Sorry... Something stewing in my mind and I can't shake it.

[Henry P]

do you want to tell me by PM?

[Maryd.]

One day I would like to stop thinking.

[Henry P]

completely?

[Maryd.]

Yes... This way, I don't have to know... Anything.

[Captain Cosine]

Just come to America :) We can stop you from thinking pretty easily...

[Maryd.]

^ Hahahaha...

[Henry P]

one day I'd like to visit America

[Maryd.]

One day I would like to visit France

[Henry P]

You'll like it. I've to Paris, EuroDisney, Versailles, Lourdes and Corsica

[Maryd.]

One day I would like to sleep in

[Henry P]

poor you. i can't sleep in even when I don't have to get up for anyone

[Maryd.]

No... That's what I meant... I went to bed late last night and up the same time this morning... Agh.

[Henry P]

i think that's what I meant too. No matter

[Maryd.]

One day I would like to stay in bed all day

[Henry P]

you'll get up to eat and drink, won't you? Or will you ring for room service?

[Maryd.]

No, no... Room service all the way. Just once... Just one time. Yes. It would be nice.

[Henry P]

do it. book a hotel room for your birthday

[Maryd.]

You're such a comedian... What do I do with my kids Henry?

[Henry P]

check them into another room

[Maryd.]

Alone... You want me to leave my kids alone... Please Henry, I'm an old fashioned girl, I never leave my kids alone.

[Henry P]

one day i'd like breakfast in bed

[Maryd.]

Brings Henry a plate of freshly cooked bacon and scrambled eggs. With a tall glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and a short black coffee. Sitting on the silver plated tray is the daily newspaper and a rose fragrant candle alight, slowly flickering into the early hours of the morning. Leaving a delectable aroma.

[Henry P]

you know what i like, my dear. you deserve a:hug:

[Maryd.]

:wub::wub::wub::cheekkiss:

[Henry P]

you're sweet, my dear.

[Maryd.]

One day I would like to be rude and arrogant. Just so I can put the people who upset me in their place!

[Henry P]

don't be arrogant, just rude

[Maryd.]

How?..

[Henry P]

I'm not sure myself, but being arrogant and rude are not the same

[Maryd.]

Yes, but I am sick of being nice to people and all they do is take me for a ride.

[Henry P]

not every one is out to put one over you , I'm sure, but it's wise to be wary

[Maryd.]

No, but I am easy prey, I must admit... Very vulnerable. Too nice.

[Henry P]

it's your natural good nature. Everyone gets a chance until they disappoint. I've been betrayed at work by colleagues who hugged me

[Maryd.]

If I were there then I would surely :hug::hug::hug::hug:you.

[TroostAvenue]

Why is only you two talking?

[Henry P]

I don't know, but for a moment you made it three

[Maryd.]

Yay... Troost... Join in.

[Henry P]

I think Troost may be asleep now

[Maryd.]

zzzzzzzz
Rock-a-bye baby on the tree top
zzzzzzzz

[Henry P]

Most people in the US are still asleep

[Maryd.]

Not us... we are wide eyed and bushy tailed.

[Henry P]

Aren't you a little bleary-eyed?

[Maryd.]

No... Why do you ask?

[Henry P]

I thought you were tired?

[Maryd.]

I am... But it's only 7.30pm here. I could hardly sleep now.

[Henry P]

No, you're right

[Maryd.]

One day life will become easier

[Henry P]

I hope so, or it'll be easier to deal with

[Maryd.]

Or happier

[Henry P]

One day I'll be positive all the time

[Maryd.]

That would be good.

[Henry P]

We can help each other with that

[Maryd.]

Yes... I like that.

[Henry P]

one day I'd like to be better at chess. I play online once in a while and get the feeling that the few players I beat must be about ten

[Maryd.]

Hehe... Those 10 year olds are pretty cluey.

[Henry P]

Chess is about memory, remembering the myriads of openings and responses

[Maryd.]

Then your's truly will never be able to play professional.

[Henry P]

Professional? I can't even play amateurs passing time online

[Maryd.]

I wouldn't mind a game with you.

[Henry P]

you can be my queen

[Maryd.]

I'd say you can be my king... But I believe he is the one everyone is after and I wouldn't want someone to take you off the board. So, what I propose is you to be my knight.

[Henry P]

i'd rather be the king, as he's on the board till the very end

[Maryd.]

Ah, true... Alright you can be my king... So long as you promise to treat me like a queen.
Mwah

[Henry P]

yes, your majesty

[Maryd.]

Thanks.... Sit by my side, my king.

[Henry P]

yes, your royal highness

[Maryd.]

(I'm loving this)

One day I would like to really live like a queen and have my dear king sit by my side. It would be heaven.

[Henry P]

I sit on a throne every morning already

[Maryd.]

Hahahaha... Me too.... Hahahaha.

[Henry P]

One day I'd like one of those reclining armchairs

[Maryd.]

ooh Yes... me too.

[Henry P]

But I love our sofas too

[Maryd.]

Yes... One can always cuddle up on them...

[Henry P]

I like a nap on the big one

[Maryd.]

I like to snuggle under a warm blanket, which I am doing right now.

[Henry P]

on the sofa? We do that

[Maryd.]

Yes, but that is what puts me to sleep.

[Henry P]

is it still cold there?

[Maryd.]

Yes... But we are nearing Spring... So very excited about that. My favourite season of the year.

[Henry P]

so we're nearing the the end of summer and the start of autumn. I like summer best, probably because we rarely get real heat

[Maryd.]

Spring in Oz is so beautiful... Everything is so fragrant and the array of colours are amazing... I should get a pen and paper out and write about it, when it all starts happening.

[Henry P]

many poets have

[Maryd.]

Yes... But I have never written about nature... I don't think I have anyway.

[Henry P]

I have. I wrote a poem about autumn but wasn't happy with it. Don't bother finding it

[Maryd.]

If you insist.

[Henry P]

One day I'll finish it properly

[Maryd.]

One day I won't get grumpy

[Henry P]

I think grumpiness is a symptom of growing older

[Maryd.]

Darn it... then I'm in trouble, aren't I?

[Henry P]

you and me both. I am at a more advanced stage of the ailment

[Maryd.]

Well maybe we can sulk and brood together...

[Henry P]

better than alone

[Maryd.]

Yes...

[Henry P]

Time for a joke to break through the clouds, my dear
At a cocktail party, one woman said to another, "Aren't you wearing your wedding ring on the wrong finger?"
The other replied, "Yes, I am, I married the wrong man."

[Maryd.]

:( didn't work

[Henry P]

Oh dear. all right. How about-
Eighty percent of married men cheat in America. The rest cheat in Europe.

[Maryd.]

Um... I'm not clever enough for that one.

[Henry P]

another try-
Don't talk to me about once-in- a-lifetime holidays. I'll tell tyou one thing- never again

[Maryd.]

Ok... I need to go back to school to learn to read... Because I don't understand that one either.

[Henry P]

I think you're tired, my dear

[Maryd.]

No...

[Henry P]

Just miserable,
I won't go away till I make you smile.
Another joke-A man takes his wife to a livestock show. They head down the alley that had the bulls. They come up to the first bull and his sign stated: "This bull mated 50 times last year." The wife turns to her husband and says, "He mated 50 times in a year, you could learn from him."
They go to the next bull and his sign stated: "This bull mated 65 times last year." The wife turns to her husband and says, "This one mated 65 times last year. That is over 5 times a month. You can learn from this one, too."
They proceed to the last bull and his sign said: "This bull mated 365 times last year." The wife's mouth drops open and says, "WOW! He mated 365 times last year. That is ONCE A DAY!!! You could really learn from this one."
The man turns to his wife and says, "Go up and ask if it was 365 times with the same cow."

[Maryd.]

Ok... Now that one I did laugh at... I proably shouldn't have, but i did...

[Henry P]

Good. There's another funny one on another forum game, but I forgot which one

[Maryd.]

Never mind... I am happy with that one. Mwah.

[Henry P]

One day i'll remember long jokes

[Maryd.]

No... Leave them short... Less to read.

[Henry P]

There's no build up of expectation in one-liners

[Maryd.]

Ok... If you insist.

[Henry P]

one day i'd like to be more patient

[Nature's heartbeat]

One day I'd like to be - and brace yourselves for a slightly massive list now - more courageous, confident, care less about what people think about me (in case they're unsupportive of me developing my talents/feel like constantly (ok the constantly is an over exaggeration but it can certainly feel like it) criticizing me), and let go of the hold that any past negative experiences still may have on me now or in the future...

[Henry P]

good for you, my dear.

[Maryd.]

One day I'd like to be - and brace yourselves for a slightly massive list now - more courageous, confident, care less about what people think about me (in case they're unsupportive of me developing my talents/feel like constantly (ok the constantly is an over exaggeration but it can certainly feel like it) criticizing me), and let go of the hold that any past negative experiences still may have on me now or in the future...

You go girl... Wahooo..

[Henry P]

sounds like you've got a soulmate there, Maryd

[Maryd.]

Or someone on my side at least

[Henry P]

there are many like us

[Maryd.]

Yay... three so far on this forum... Mwah

[Henry P]

funny how we're all friends

[Maryd.]

What's so funny about it? We are all friends in the same boat.

[Henry P]

yes, but other people here stay apart

[Maryd.]

Why's that I wonder?

[Henry P]

don't know

[Maryd.]

one day i would like to sail a boat.

[Henry P]

With a sail or a motor?

[Maryd.]

Whatever just a boat... So long as I am wearing a lifejacket.

[Henry P]

I drove a motor boat on Lake Windermere, England's biggest lake withouta life jacket back in 1986. Delightful. The weather was glorious too

[Maryd.]

Ok... You and I will sail... Wher shall we go?

[Henry P]

Up a calm, warm beautiful coastline somewhere. What's it like around the penguin island?

[Maryd.]

Do you mean Phillip Island?

[Henry P]

Yes. Or is the sea rough there?

[Maryd.]

Yes, I do believe the sea is a tad rough there.

[Henry P]

ok, somewhere else then.
North coast of sardinia from June to September

[Maryd.]

Never been but it sounds delightful.

[Henry P]

It is. I've never seen anywhere as breathtaking. Let's go

[Maryd.]

Ok Starts packing...

[Henry P]

one day perhaps...

[Maryd.]

One day I would like to be my old self again.

[Henry P]

how old were you when you were your old self?

[Maryd.]

25...

[Henry P]

oh. 5 years ago

[Maryd.]

Oh, you're good... Real good. Now you see that's what a woman wants to hear... Mwah...

[Henry P]

I've learned a few tricks down the years, my dear

[Maryd.]

Yes you have, my good sir, you have.

[Henry P]

I'm considering a reduction in my own age too

[Maryd.]

Reduction?

[Henry P]

Yes, knocking a few years off for those who don't know any better

[Maryd.]

You character...

One day I would like to be a fast thinker, like Henryp.

[Henry P]

I'm not so fast

[Maryd.]

I beg to differ. You are very quick.

[Henry P]

some people I know think I'm quite slow on the uptake

[Maryd.]

Well, my daughter talks slowly and sometimes a tad boring to listen too, but very clever.

[Henry P]

she thinks through what she says

[Maryd.]

Unlike some little Italians...

[Henry P]

Italians do tend to talk fast

[Maryd.]

We are chatter-boxes... We don't stop...

[Henry P]

I don't talk very fast... just all the time

[Maryd.]

I do both... Hahahaha

[Henry P]

One day more people will like me

[Maryd.]

Why wouldn't they???

[Henry P]

many probably think I'm a loner, a bit of a weirdo for doing my own thing

[Maryd.]

Well, we can be weirdo's together. I do my own thing. I am alone all the time now, except when with the kids. I admit when I am out, I have a good time, but I am happier at home... So let's tell everyone to mind their own business... Right?

[Henry P]

right

[Maryd.]

Yeah....

[Henry P]

thanks, my dear

[Maryd.]

Anytime...

One day I would like to be able to eat meet again.

[Henry P]

you need to seek help about that , unless you're happy with it

[Maryd.]

Know have to get help I think, lacking serious iron deficiency.
