The Glad Game

[Henry P]

My wife is disappointed that she's not close with her Polish family, perhaps also because she didn't become a doctor

[Maryd.]

Tell that wife of yours to step off. Your daughter is perfect as she is.

[Henry P]

i agree:hug:

[Maryd.]

I'm glad Henry and I agree.

[Henry P]

i'm glad we do most of the time... but i'm still not sure about:dance:

[Maryd.]

Oh, that's right, I am supposed to be teaching you aren't I?

[Henry P]

the nutbush...

[Maryd.]

I already taught you that one... What abou the 'Bus stop'

[Henry P]

how does that go?

[Maryd.]

I just realise that is too hard to say, one has to be near each other...

[Henry P]

nutbush is still funny

[Maryd.]

The dance or the word?

[Henry P]

probably both

[Maryd.]

Actually come to think of it the world really is quite funny... One can almost think there is a nut in the bush.... Hahahahaha

[Henry P]

i was thinking different nuts and a different kind of bush

[Maryd.]

Um-ma... Were you being a naughty boy... Um-ma...

[Henry P]

yes, my dear

[Maryd.]

Well those pesky nuts can get lost in all that bush

[Henry P]

now who's being naughty?

[Maryd.]

No, no, I mean the bush is a big place and nuts can get lost in it... What are you thinking of Henry?

[Henry P]

the same as you

[Maryd.]

Nuts... In a bush... Yes... That is excatly what I meant... Nuts.

[Henry P]

i'm glad some words are funny

[Maryd.]

They are aren't they? Where would we be without these silly words?

[Henry P]

a little sadder

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I am home safe.

[Henry P]

Why? where have you been?

[Maryd.]

On Melbourne's dangerous roads.

[Henry P]

I'm glad you're safe

[Maryd.]

I'm glad you're here to chat to tonight... I really needed some comfort. Mwah

[Henry P]

comfort is on its way:hug::hug:

[Maryd.]

I know you are so special... But I want to say it over and over again. Thanks for all your support. You are a true gem... Mwah

[Henry P]

thank you, my dear. Being called a gem is reward enough

[Maryd.]

I am glad I have a friend that cares so much... Always thinking of me, making sure I get enough sleep (Which I don't) Helping me in everyway he can. How did I get so lucky as to meet Henry

[Henry P]

fate?

[Maryd.]

Yes... Do you believe one can make their own fate?

[Henry P]

i'm not sure- probably

[Maryd.]

I'm not sure either... One can try, I suppose.

[Henry P]

I know that if I didn't write poems, I wouldn't be talking to you

[Maryd.]

That's true, neither would I.

[Henry P]

So I'm glad I started to write

[Maryd.]

I'm glad Jermac, led me here.

[Henry P]

I just found it through Google after I was ditched by Poets ' Graves

[Maryd.]

Well it's been heaven sent - for us.

[Henry P]

i'm glad it has

[Maryd.]

I'm glad, even after such a long time... We are still very good friends. That is so special.

[Henry P]

about six months, I think. That's not such a long time

[Maryd.]

It is for online friends. I have made friends in the past, they are around for a month or two, then zap they're gone... Not you. You have staying power. Consistent and loyal. If you have to disappear for any time, you tell me. And I tell you.

[Henry P]

i hope i don't have to

[Maryd.]

Please don't... Please.

[Henry P]

i won't

[Maryd.]

I'm glad...

[Henry P]

i'm glad you have done a good job cleaning today

[Maryd.]

Haven't finished yet... But am almost there. I think I should be complete by tomorrow.

[Henry P]

Go for it, my dear

[Maryd.]

I have to admit I feel better that my home is clean. I don't know why?

[Henry P]

I get that feeling too- a feminine trait , I think

[Maryd.]

Yes... Ah well. It's all good.

[Henry P]

as long as it's not obsessive or competitive

[Maryd.]

I use to be obsessive. But not anymore. I tell people, if they don't like it, they can leave. I am so naughty.

[Henry P]

same here. i prefer to do the cleaning on my own, at my own pace without comments

[Maryd.]

Yes. Comments mean they are putting us down. Bullying!

[Henry P]

yes, and they think nothing of it. I put up with it for years, but no longer

[Maryd.]

Then you are stonger than me.

[Henry P]

because I put up with it for longer. Your moment will come

[Maryd.]

Doubt it!

[Henry P]

you'll see

[Maryd.]

Waiting... waiting... waiting.... Nothing's happening?

[Henry P]

you'll get to boiling point point one day

[Maryd.]

I'm very nearly close...

[Henry P]

think through in advance what to do just in case you get there

[Maryd.]

Good idea, that's my problem I never think... Just blurt out things.

[Henry P]

Blurt out the right words , my dear. Rehearse in advance

[Maryd.]

I'm not that cunning!

[Henry P]

try to be-it might help

[Maryd.]

Not in me, I'm afraid.

[Henry P]

it's easier said than done

[Maryd.]

Glad I have the day to myself

[Henry P]

i'm glad to be here

[Maryd.]

I'm glad you are here too

[Henry P]

i'm glad it's sunny today

[Maryd.]

Oh, how warm does the weather people say it will be?

[Henry P]

a blistering 16C

[Maryd.]

Brrrrr.

[Henry P]

the last day of summer

[Maryd.]

and tomorrow is our first day of my favourite season - spring. Yay.

[Henry P]

how warm is it there today?

[Maryd.]

Was... Not that warm, today was quite cool. But then I did spend most of the day in the house except to hop in and out of the car to pick up the kids.

[Henry P]

Schoolkids here start to return to school from tomorrow. Teachers certainly will... but I don't have to any more

[Maryd.]

Lucky you...

[Henry P]

Unless I get that hospital job next week

[Maryd.]

Fingers crossed again...

[Henry P]

thanks, my dear

[Maryd.]

I'm glad, even though, I would prefer my Henry to be here and talking to me all the time, that I would prefer he get this job.

[Henry P]

Very sweet of you, my dear:hug::hug:

[Maryd.]

I try hard...:cheekkiss::cheekkiss::cheekkiss:

[Henry P]

you do:hug::hug:

[Maryd.]

And so do you :cheekkiss:

[Henry P]

I'm glad I've been loved up again

[Maryd.]

You'll always be loved up... Mwah

[Henry P]

[Maryd.]

Yay, I have been given a number 1... I'd like to thank everyone for coming tonight. To witness my typing without any slip ups... Hee hee

[Henry P]

well done, my dear

[Maryd.]

Oh thank you kind sir.

[Henry P]

I'm glad Maryd is happy

[Maryd.]

For a while, though grumble-bum is home now.

[Henry P]

do we need to say good night, then?

[Maryd.]

Night..

[Henry P]

good night my dear

[Maryd.]

I'm glad that Henry is always himself... Not fake.

[Nature's heartbeat]

I'm glad that Maryd is such a caring person that can touch someone's heart on the other side of the world...Mwah to you sweetie

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I have just been mwah'd by one person who, mirror images me.
(Golly my grammar is shot, I am making up words that don't even exist in the Australian dictionary and I am crazy... Ah, but who cares) You're mwah'd

[Henry P]

I'm glad Maryd is how she is

[Maryd.]

You're glad I am crazy. Hahahaha
Does that make you crazier than me?

[Henry P]

probably

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I am not the only crazy person alive.

[Henry P]

there are millions of us, my dear:rofl:

[Maryd.]

I know isn't it great(hdance)

[Henry P]

I'm glad it is .

[Maryd.]

I'm glad my dear friend comes from Perth today.

[Henry P]

ah, remind me

[Maryd.]

Will do.

[Henry P]

I'm glad Maryd is meeting her carer

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I had a good time

[Henry P]

I'm glad Maryd has enjoyed herself

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I still make time for my special-special.

[Henry P]

i'm glad you can

[Maryd.]

I'm glad the sun is out...

[Henry P]

it was sunny here too

[Maryd.]

Sunny enough for you to go outside and enjoy it?

[Henry P]

sunny enough for me to do a bit of gardening

[Maryd.]

Gardening is nice.

[Henry P]

it is in the sun and if there is little filth involved

[Maryd.]

True that.
Today is raining here... They say it's supposed to rain all day.

[Henry P]

i'm glad Maryd is enjoying herself

[Maryd.]

I am glad I am finally getting a chance to chat to my friend.

[Nature's heartbeat]

I'm glad that I'm smiling and that there are some wonderful souls in the world! :)

[Maryd.]

I'm glad Nature has joined this game... Mwah

[Henry P]

so am i

[Maryd.]

I am glad I made lasagne last night.

[Henry P]

your speciality

[Maryd.]

And cheesecake...

[Henry P]

another speciality

[Maryd.]

Both were a big hit.

[Henry P]

and why not?

[Maryd.]

Of course. There was other food that my sisters bought that were equally good. But overall the lunch was a success. I am terribly tired today.

[Henry P]

did you get enough sleep?

[Maryd.]

You know me... Henry, I never get enough sleep.

[Henry P]

try to get more, my dear

[Maryd.]

I will, might take an afternoon nap... Just this once. I haven't stopped since last Thursday morning... Don't even know how I am thinking straight, if I am thinking at all.

[Henry P]

try to get at least 6 hours or your health will suffer

[Maryd.]

Yes I know Henry... You are such a good man. Always looking after my welfare.

[Henry P]

i care , my dear

[Maryd.]

As I do you... Mwah.

[Henry P]

:hug:

[Maryd.]

There's so much love on this thread... :cheekkiss:

[Henry P]

i'm glad there is

[Maryd.]

I'm glad Henry and I can talk today.

[Henry P]

I'm glad we can after the long weekend hiatus

[Maryd.]

did you expect anything less.

[Henry P]

no, my dear:hug:

[Maryd.]

Of course you didn't. We are always here for each other.
Mwah.

[Henry P]

i'm glad we are

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I have people around me who care.

[Henry P]

i care, my dear

[Maryd.]

So do I. :cheekkiss:

[Henry P]

I'm glad we care about each other

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I got back early.

[Henry P]

I'm glad you're here

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I am here now.

[Henry P]

I'll be glad to talk to you every day

[Maryd.]

I'd be glad to be here forever

[Henry P]

i'm glad to hear that

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I am awake.

[Henry P]

i'm glad you are

[Maryd.]

I'm glad the weather is finally looking up.

[Henry P]

how warm is it there?

[Maryd.]

18 degrees today... Looking forward to it.

[Henry P]

as warm as our late summer

[Maryd.]

wow... So sad that you have cold summers... But ours are an extreme. The heat in our summer is too hot.

[Henry P]

heat is nice in moderation

[Maryd.]

I know I hate the over 30 degree heat days. Sometimes we can have them 6 - 10 days in a row. (Not always) But sometimes it is monotonous and breathing is quite an issue. And last year we experienced that 46 degree day... Phew... unbearable.

[Henry P]

46 is like Arabia. It must be hard to sleep. any temperature close to body temperature of about 36C is too much

[Maryd.]

Sleep, we had lots of issues that day. The asthmatics suffered and some even died. It's the most horrific heat. I hope we don't have that this year.

[Henry P]

what do people do? open windows, get fans or AC?

[Maryd.]

Well we have an airconditioner, but it has to work overtime in that weather, also many people have ceiling fans. Some people get into the pools or beaches. Which in my opinion is very dangerous, especially if it isn't cloudy. And because of all the airconditioners we sometimes have power failures. Which can last for anything from 1 hour to 1 day. Then we grin and bear it.

[Henry P]

i'm glad we're cooler

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I am home today... Need to relax.

[Henry P]

i'm glad you can

[Maryd.]

I'm glad you are taking a nap

[Henry P]

I'm glad you're very kind

[Maryd.]

I'm glad we still chat like this

[Henry P]

i hope we do it every day until we're:old:

[Maryd.]

Yes... Me too. :cheekkiss:

[Henry P]

:hug:

[tsu-bastet]

popcorn!
..the buttered/toffee type!
:)

[Henry P]

yum

[Maryd.]

Yum... ar, er, I think we are in the wrong game... Or is that are we glad for butter?

[Maryd.]

Well then let's get this ball rolling...

Strawberry ice cream.

[Henry P]

italian chocolate gelato

[Maryd.]

Fairy floss/Cotton Candy

[Henry P]

Dover sole

[Maryd.]

What is that?

[Henry P]

the yummiest fish found round Britain, a flat fish. rare, expensive and delicious grilled with butter and lemon

[Maryd.]

Give me a few minutes and I'll be over.

[Henry P]

you might have to settle for mackerel, today's plat du jour

[Maryd.]

Never mind... I will settle for anything

[Henry P]

grilled mackerel with mustard, green beans and onion skirlies

[Maryd.]

Potato crisps/chips.

[Henry P]

[Maryd.]

[Henry P]

I'm glad I've got a new job

[Maryd.]

I'm glad for Henryp

[Henry P]

i'm glad you are

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I slept throught the night yesterday.

[Henry P]

that probably means you're beginning to recover

[Maryd.]

Maybe. But I am still heavy headed and feel like I still have a temp.

[Henry P]

take ibuprofen/nurofen for the fever

[Maryd.]

I take panadol... I don't know if it works though, I think it just covers up the pain.

[Henry P]

yes. it won't help with the cold virus. Your immune system will do that, but help it by drinking a lot and pamper yoursel

[Maryd.]

Oh, pamper myself... How do I do that?

[Henry P]

put your feet up, relax, watch a favourite dvd, eat whatever you fancy, do nothing, have a hot bath, have a nap. de-stress your system

[Maryd.]

Ooh, Ooh, can I do all of the above, please?

[Henry P]

be my guest

[Maryd.]

I still haven't done all the relaxing tasks you have set for me... But I will tomorrow.

[Henry P]

go on- indulge

[Maryd.]

Yes, todays the day to relax... The young Italian student is off on an excursion with her parents. They are here too, staying with my kid's Italian teacher. So until 9.00pm tonight, I'm free. No doubt someone will have something stupid for us to do and I'll miss out. Never mind.

[Henry P]

i didn't know the parents were over too. You'll have to go to Italy now

[Maryd.]

Yes... I will, can't wait. The girls mother is a teacher at the sister school, that is why she is here. Hubby came for a holiday. But they wanted their children to stay with a host family.

[Henry P]

i'm glad i can talk across the world like this

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I have friends from the other side of the world, because of forums such as these.

[Henry P]

I'm glad you have

[Maryd.]

I'm glad my enemies are on the other side of the world (lucky for them... If they were any closer!!!)
