The Glad Game

[amberzak]

I've used a mac most of my life, and I've never had a problem with them, so I stick with what I know. I know that some PCs are better, problem is I don't know PCs at all - I don't know what brand are good and what aren't. So it's easier to stay with what I know. Plus, we've got all the software for mac for our graphic design stuff (I dabble in it, being editor of the Student Union magazine) so it makes sense

[Henry P]

Toshiba ans Sony are good. Macs are costly to repair as the parts are virtually welded in and can only be changed by specialists. a deliberate policy, i think, by Apple

[amberzak]

Ahh, but it would be far more costly for us to replace every bit of software for a PC - most you can only by for either Mac or for PC. I see your point, but I'll be a mac person for a while longer I think :)

[Henry P]

fine, but I hope yours doesn't play up as mine did.

[Maryd.]

i'm glad life is almost normal.

[Henry P]

I'm glad yours is.

[Maryd.]

i'm glad i'm here right now.

[Henry P]

I'm glad we can talk every day

[Maryd.]

Sometimes twice he we are lucky.
I'm glad I am checking out poetry groups.

[Henry P]

Good for you- there's bound to be one right for you

[Maryd.]

But i am very nervous and anxious about reading out loud.

[Henry P]

don't be- just imagine that they're all friends. they'll all be feeling nervous too and will be too polite to criticise you anyway

[Maryd.]

thanks dear.
I'm glad i have you as a friend.

[Henry P]

i'm glad to help

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I am still here, even with all my issues

[Henry P]

I'm glad you are. I can't imagine you not being here

[Maryd.]

I'm glad you are still around to chat.

[Henry P]

Where else would I be?

[Maryd.]

You know Henry that line comes up often. Like me, your life evolves around 'the poetry forum'

[Henry P]

I wonder why?

[Nature's heartbeat]

I'm glad I made a painting today and that the two of you are so sweet to each other, and to me too... :)

[Henry P]

What did you paint, my dear?

[Maryd.]

Oh yes do tell.

[Nature's heartbeat]

An acrylic sketch of Van Gogh's "Dutch Peasant Woman"...not looking exactly like the original (yet! ;)) but it increases my observational skills so I'm happy... :-)

[amberzak]

I'm glad I went for a lovely long walk in the country earlier. It was nice

[Maryd.]

lovely to both naturesheartbeat and amberzak.
i'm glad to be here. But need some rest. Ciao all. Mwah.

[Henry P]

i'm glad it's sunny today

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I'm finally posting out my passport.

[Henry P]

I'm glad I bought some good books very cheaply today

[Maryd.]

I'm glad i have organised mine and the kids passports

[Henry P]

I'm glad I can get back on here now

[Maryd.]

I am glad you are back too.

[Henry P]

I notice you're stressed today. Why's that?

[Maryd.]

just everything dear. It's all getting too much. I need a good holiday. Can I come to yorkshire?

[Henry P]

Of course, my dear. Bring your kids- I have enough bedrooms

[Maryd.]

I'm sure your mrs will really appreciate having a strange woman and her two adorable children in her home.

[Henry P]

It'd make her think. And ask for a divorce,
I'll say you're lodgers coz I need the income

[Maryd.]

lodgers ha? I can handle that. But i only ask for one request, that we laugh, sing, dance, not talk down at each other and always communicate. Deal.

[Henry P]

deal. I promise that my wife won't disturb us. she never speaks to anyone

[Maryd.]

Deal. That was easy.
I'm glad I live in hope.

[Henry P]

We have to or we might as well lie down and die

[Maryd.]

And we don't want to do that.
I an glad we are in sync.

[Henry P]

I'm glad we are.

[Maryd.]

I'm glad to be able to write my feelings down. I may not always come up with a masterpiece. But I am content when I am finished.

[Henry P]

Good for you. That's what I do
I'm glad if I write a poem

[Maryd.]

I glad I love the art of writing.

[Henry P]

So do I
english is unique language, with strong Anglo-saxon bones and a surface sheen of Latin, French and Greek. It needs protection from vandals

[Maryd.]

You are so right. My girl already writer blogs in short, like - u for you, or y for why. I get so angry with her.

[Henry P]

As long as she knows not to write in textspeak when it matters, or that it is acceptable only in situations were time is of the essence

[Maryd.]

Yes she does. But I get cross with her anyway.
Selfish people!

[Henry P]

the phrase MEET WITH . Just say MEET

[Maryd.]

the news smothered in Tiger Wood.

[Henry P]

I'm sick of him. What is he ? someone who makes a fortune from being young, black and a dab hand at knocking a ball into a hole with a stick. And have you seen the latest Nike ad which plays on his behaviour, using the voice of his dead father over film of Mr Woods trying to look sorry. will anyone buy trainers because of that? I won't

[Maryd.]

he is all over the news here in Australia. It's driving me batty. There is more important news to discuss and we have to hear old news.

[Henry P]

We're ranting on the glad forum, my dear. I'm glad i noticed

[Maryd.]

yes.
I'm glad i'm off to bed now. Night all. Mwah.

[Henry P]

good night.

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I am here this morning.

[Henry P]

i'm glad you are

[Maryd.]

I'm glad we can be open about our feelings.

[Henry P]

It's good for you

[Maryd.]

I know I feel so much better since I came to this site. More so since i've net you.
I'm glad I decided to stay here.

[Henry P]

I'm glad you did

[Maryd.]

i'm glad for mild days

[Henry P]

You should come to live here. We have nothing but mild

[Maryd.]

is that an offer Romeo.
I'm glad for Autumn.

[Henry P]

Yes, it is , Julietta. What's a Melbourne autumn like?

[Maryd.]

I shall take you up on that offer one day and you won't know what hit you.
It's early days yet, but it's beautiful. Mild days, naked trees their leaves everywhere.

[Henry P]

i don't have to rake them off my front lawn- the prevailing westerly wind blows them upm against the wall for me.

[Maryd.]

I know about the winds. I'm finding it's so much windier there days. I go outside and the leaves don't know which direction to fall in. I'm much happier when spring arrives

[Henry P]

i like summer best

[Maryd.]

Unfortunately Summers in Australia are too hot for me I prefer Spring.

[Henry P]

which will be like an average day in our summer

[Maryd.]

You should see how hot it gets, breathing is out of the question.

[Henry P]

You're still alive, my dear. The British pay good money to roast in your temperatures

[Maryd.]

Come, we'll have a hind time. But you'll have to wait. Ou summer just finished.

[Henry P]

I like a bit of sun and heat

[Maryd.]

i'm glad i am relaxed

[Henry P]

I'm glad someone is

[Maryd.]

You'll be ok angel. I'm sure it will all turn out. My fingers are crossed for you.

[Henry P]

thanks, my dear.

[Maryd.]

i'm glad i care.

[Henry P]

I'm glad you are with me through this hard time

[Maryd.]

I'm finally glad I am changing

[Henry P]

I'm glad you're concerned about me

[Maryd.]

I'm glad life is different.

[Henry P]

it's different every day

[Maryd.]

Yes.
I'm glad it's changing.

[Henry P]

How is it changing for you?

[Maryd.]

making me stronger or angrier.

[gopher]

I'm glad that despite all my eccentricities I still have friends.

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I'm still awake.

[Henry P]

I'm glad things are better at home

[Maryd.]

Good for you.
I'm glad things are quiet at home.

[Henry P]

I'm glad it's a sunny day

[Maryd.]

I'm glad it was a successful day.

[Henry P]

how were you successful?

[Maryd.]

No disputes!!

I'm glad I am at the library now.

[Henry P]

I'm glad the tension at home has gpne

[Maryd.]

I'm glad for you.

[gopher]

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who's in the library, and I'm even more glad that last night I rediscovered Grey's Elegy.

[Maryd.]

i'm glad that Gopher and I, both like going to the library.

[Nature's heartbeat]

I'm glad I'm listening to good music right now... :)

[Henry P]

I'm glad I have my own opinions

[Nature's heartbeat]

I'm glad I have my own opinions too...

[Henry P]

I'm glad I'm different

[Maryd.]

As opposed to what, henry?

[Henry P]

other people, or at least I feel that way

[Maryd.]

No dear, just be you. Your too special to change.

[Henry P]

:hug:I don't intend to, my dear.

[Maryd.]

Now I'm happy. Mwah.

[Henry P]

I'm glad we are as we are

[Maryd.]

I'm glad some people can just accept things easier than others.

[Henry P]

It's not easy to do that

[Maryd.]

Yes I know. It has taken me a long time to realise that certain things in my life will never change. But I finally have accepted that.

[Jermac]

I'm glad we only have four more performances of To Kill A Mockingbird. It takes a lot of energy out of me to play a redneck.

[Maryd.]

Thought you said you like playing a red neck because it's easy.
I'll be glad when you start taking to me again, Jer.

[Henry P]

I'll still talk to you, my dear

[Maryd.]

Thank you kind sir. You are too precious. I know I can always rely on you. Mwah.

[Henry P]

I'm glad the training only took an hour and a half instead of three

[Maryd.]

Bonus. Now your here.
I'm glad I will be organising the kid's passports today.

[Henry P]

I'm glad you're getting that sorted

[Maryd.]

I'm glad i managed to wake up on time even though I had a bad night.

[Henry P]

I've never overslept in my life or really needed an alarm

[Maryd.]

lucky you

[Henry P]

I'm glad I'm confident in my ability to communicate

[Maryd.]

me too.

[Henry P]

It's a nice feeling being confident

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I am close to owning a laptop.

[Henry P]

what are you getting?

[Maryd.]

It's looking like a toshiba, but have to get the ok from the boss. If you know what I mean?

[Henry P]

yes, my dear.

[Maryd.]

i'm glad that when I can't sleep,my first thoughts are of this site.

[Henry P]

I'm glad you do, my dear

[Maryd.]

and i'm glad you're here, you make everything so perfect.

[Henry P]

even at 6 am, my dear?

[Maryd.]

Anytime of the day with you is perfect for me.

[Henry P]

I feel the same about you.

[Maryd.]

i'm glad you are precious

[Henry P]

I'm glad you want to talk to me

[Maryd.]

I'm glad you're a good listener

[Henry P]

I'm glad you are too

[Maryd.]

I'm glad two people can find common ground with each other.

[Henry P]

I'm glad we can. It felt easy and natural, didn't it?

[Maryd.]

Yes it did.
I'm glad you we're here. When I first arrived.

[Henry P]

It just happened, my dear

[Maryd.]

Yes funny how two people can get along almost immediately. Isn't it?

[Henry P]

Yes. I have a feeling for when people are on my wavelength (most of the time)

[Maryd.]

I'm glad people I know overseas are safe from the ash.

[Henry P]

I hope we are, but dust has been found on cars around here

[Maryd.]

Please take care my darling stay safe.
And everyone please stay safe.
Mwah.

[Henry P]

We've got to emerge from the house. It's like pre-aviation at the moment, with Whitney Houston going for a gig in Dublin by car ferry, and actors travelling by taxi and train

[Maryd.]

Sounds terribly frightening. I hope all subsides soon.

[Henry P]

It will when the volcano stops erupting. Meanwhile people are going about their lives as normal

[Maryd.]

That's all they can do, I suppose.
I'm glad someone dear has cheered me up today.

[Henry P]

I'm glad I have, my dear

[Maryd.]

I'm glad there is now 2 people in the world who understand me.

[Henry P]

Who's the other, my dear?

[Maryd.]

My girl and now you.

[Henry P]

Ah, I thought so

[Maryd.]

i'm glad to hear the sound of my son's laughter even though the naughty boy should be asleep, right now.

[Henry P]

My daughter stayed up till we went to bed when she was small and no harm was done. Besides, it's Sunday tomorrow

[Maryd.]

I know but they want to go to the festival tomorrow. Should pop them in bed. Ciao.

[Henry P]

I'm glad I'm not naive

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I'm up early.

[Henry P]

when are you going to the festival?

[Maryd.]

Glenroy. The northen suburb of Melbourne. It's not a big festival. I believe it is run by the local council. Last year I won a dvd by doing a greek dance with 4 other women.

[Henry P]

You and your dancing! You need to go on YouTube

[Maryd.]

danced again this year. But this time i went in to late. My daughter was already up. I only got to do the salsa.

[Henry P]

I'm glad you had fun. I went to church

[Maryd.]

Oh, don't worry i yew to church as well. But not your average mass. This one was different. Very different. I think i'm going to get out one day

[Henry P]

what do you mean, get out?

[Maryd.]

I meant get thrown out. My son said a few things that made me laugh and I laughed so much I was crying

[Henry P]

from church?

[Maryd.]

Yes... This mass was different, some young group, performed a small act about violence at the alter and one fellow kept falling over... My son whispered quietly... "That floor is deceptively flat!" I started to giggle then there were songs sang. The first about fire.. the next about rain... Lot's of rain, so my son quoted, "with all this rain, it should put out the fire." I laughed. Then he said something that made me lose it completely. At the end of mass, we were kept standing as the young band performed 4 - 5 songs... So he states... "This wasn't in the job discription..." Henry I was crying from laughing so much. I was very naughty for a mother.

[Henry P]

:eek:you bad girl

[Maryd.]

I know, but I couldn't control myself. But wait there's more. My son also quoted... "Fire, rain - what next an eathquake..." The jokes went on. I was completely out of control. Lucky the priest had already taken off and left us there to watch.

[Henry P]

No harm done. I think God will forgive you.

[Maryd.]

Yes.. I hope so...
I'm glad I had a good day yesterday. (For a change)

[Henry P]

I'm glad for you.Your weekend was OK then

[Maryd.]

Yes, because I spent it with my children and not with you know who, so I didn't have to argue or here nasty words

[Henry P]

Thank God for our kids

[Maryd.]

Yes.

I'm glad to spend time talking to my friend on line.

[Henry P]

I'm glad the world is so beautiful

[Maryd.]

Wee, that is so cute Henry.
Yes, I am glad the world is so beautiful too.

[Henry P]

I'm glad there is rain

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I am at the internet cafe.

[Henry P]

I'll be glad when you get your own laptop

[Maryd.]

And then I will be glad to finally get to see and hear my friend from the other side of the world.

[Henry P]

and i'll be glad to see you

[Maryd.]

I'll be glad to type in my own home away from all these stranges around me at this smelly cafe.

[Henry P]

Do people peek at what you're writing?

[Maryd.]

Well the computers are spread apart, so they probably can't see and because the have to pay $3 an hour everyone sticks to themselves. Only some of them don't like to shower and the aroma is somewhat grotesque.

[Henry P]

The French don't wash. That's why they have so much water to sell

[Maryd.]

These people weren't French. Anyway I'm glad I'm home.

[Henry P]

I'm glad I'm confident in reading my poems

[Maryd.]

I'm glad you are confident at reading your poems as well.

[Henry P]

I'm glad i'm being accepted by other poets

[Maryd.]

That's because you are a poet, my good sir.
I'm glad I have a cheery disposition today.

[Henry P]

I'm glad for you

[Maryd.]

I'm glad my kids reports were excellent.

[Henry P]

I'm glad you can be proud of them

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I finished reading the book 'A Thousand Splendid Suns'

[Henry P]

I'm glad people learned to read

[Maryd.]

I'm glad to see you today Henry. Mwah.

[Henry P]

I'm glad to see you

[Maryd.]

We are glad to be here mwah.

[Henry P]

I'm glad things are better at home

[Maryd.]

I'm glad the children have a day mee school.

[Henry P]

What do you mean?

[Maryd.]

Every time I use my mobile, I use dictionary and it spells "off-mee".

You know what, maybe I should just wait until I get the computer and that way no more errs will be made? It just means I won't be on the forum for a while. We'll see how long I can stay away. I bet I'll be back the same time tonight.:bleh:
I'm glad I am a woman. (Gives me reason to change my mind)

[Henry P]

I change mymind too, my dear. I have a feminine temperament

[Maryd.]

Welcome to the mind of the female. I knew I couldn't stay away. Mwah.

[Henry P]

thanks, my dear. I'm keeping count of the mwahs I've got so far. The latest figure is 37586

[Maryd.]

I couldn't have given you t.hat many. Or are you adding the rest of the site's mwahs.
Mwah.

[Henry P]

37587

[Maryd.]

I'm glad Henry appreciates my mwahs.
Mwah.

[Henry P]

I'm glad I get cyber-snogged

[Maryd.]

I'm glad you enjoy it.

[Henry P]

i do. I imagine it's real

[Maryd.]

Yes me too.

[Henry P]

Our other halves had better not find out

[Maryd.]

Find out what? A couple of cyber freaks. Played pretend.

[Henry P]

I'm glad we can flirt here

[Maryd.]

Sure, why not. No harm done.

I'm glad I got my computer today... Yah!

[Henry P]

I'm glad you have

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I have found something to occupy my time, whilst not having internet access.

[Henry P]

I'm glad we're going for a weekend break

[Maryd.]

Where?

[Henry P]

Cornwall in the summer

[Maryd.]

Is it warm enough?

[Henry P]

It should be in July. I hope it doesn't rain

[Maryd.]

I bet the ducks do though.

One day I shall not have to use the internet cafe.

[Henry P]

How much does it cost?

[Maryd.]

Usually $3 per hour, but this one is $2 for 21 minutes. But you put coins in, so when you run out of coins it shuts you down.

[Henry P]

where do you put the coins?

[Maryd.]

They've got a coin slot, like a pinball machine. The smelly cafe, you pay at the end of your session, So one can stay for hours, but the smell is so bad I get severe nausea.

[Henry P]

you don't have to go there just for me, my dear. I understand

[Maryd.]

Oh no dear, I would be lost if I didn't speak to you. Mwah to you. But at least it is only my mornings and not twice a day like we use to do... But when my internet is up and running you better beware...
I will be glad to smother you with:hug::cheekkiss::lips:

[Henry P]

I'll be glad to be smothered

[gopher]

I am glad that this morning's blood pressure checked showed that everything was in order.

[Henry P]

good for you. Investigate which foods and supplements are good for blood pressure

[Maryd.]

(Congrats Gopher)
I'm am glad my son is feeling better.

[Henry P]

I'm glad I 'm back on the internet

[Maryd.]

I'm glad to see you back. Mwah.

[Henry P]

i'm glad to see you too. 36756

[Maryd.]

I'm glad you are still counting...

[Nature's heartbeat]

I'm glad you're giving out precious mwahs and that we've been having sunny weather over here with 20 degrees lately...

[Maryd.]

Lovely dear... I'm glad you and my special friend Henry love the precious mwahs.

[Henry P]

I certainly do
