The Glad Game

[Henry P]

Nothing missing then, my dear?

[Maryd.]

Yes thanks, everything is all in the right spots and in tip top condition... Except maybe my mind. I lost that years ago.

[Henry P]

That'll do for me

[Maryd.]

Bonus... I'm a bimbo now... No mind, good, it only confuses situations anyway.

I wrote something about that, it's called - Simpleton. I am going to upload it in 10 minutes. It's not my finest work, but it is what it is.

[Henry P]

you're not a bimbo, my dear

[Maryd.]

Couldn't I be, just for a little while?

[Henry P]

Perhaps...

[Maryd.]

Thanks, I'll go back to boring old me after one day of being floaty... Is that alright?

[Henry P]

That's fine

[Maryd.]

Ok, lets begin being... Floaty...

Am I pretty?

[Henry P]

Yes. I've always liked dark women

[Maryd.]

Is my derriere big in these tight jeans?

[Henry P]

Let's have a look. No, just right

[Maryd.]

Um... er, what else do bimbo's do?

[Henry P]

Bleach their hair, wear tight skimpy clothes, high heels, low-cut tops in which they can bend over, short skirts, a lot of makeup all the time and adjust it from time to time. I watch people.

[Maryd.]

Boy... Who could be bothered all the time...

[Henry P]

oh, and fake tans, bling, the odd tattoo, amid clouds of perfume sitting in a nail bar

[Maryd.]

Boy, seems like a lot of work to be a bimbo. If the put more time into studying they may just, be something other than just a showpony.

[Henry P]

I think there have always been bimbos. Many men like them

[Maryd.]

Do you?

[Henry P]

no, my dear

[Maryd.]

Oh, you do so, all men like the look of them.
You're pulling my leg, now.

[Henry P]

No, I'm not. I know how cheap they are. After I've had a look

[Maryd.]

Ok, I believe you Henry... You are honest, I like that.

[Henry P]

I'm glad you believe me

[Maryd.]

Why wouldn't I? You have been honest with me about everything else.

[Henry P]

I try to be

[Maryd.]

What do you mean? Try to be?

[Henry P]

I want to be honest with everyone

[Maryd.]

I respect that.

[Henry P]

I'm glad you understand

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I under stand too.

[Henry P]

I'm glad its a lovely day today

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I had a successful day today.

[Henry P]

Well done. What happened?

[Maryd.]

Well, I painted a base coat of the front porch post. Painted a board in the laundry for the washing machine to sit on. Then I cleaned 3 rooms. Am so close Henry.

[Henry P]

When will it be done? Next week?

[Maryd.]

I am hoping for that. That is when we will get the Real Estate agent to take photos, anyway.

[Henry P]

So how many rooms has the property?

[Maryd.]

8 rooms, but only two bedrooms. The agent said he would advertise it as a home with a dinning room or possible third bedroom.

[Henry P]

You can advertise it as anything you want, can't you?

[Maryd.]

You can, but one has to be realistic as well.

[Henry P]

Does it adjoin your property?

[Maryd.]

We share a driveway, but it has it's one title.

[Henry P]

So you 'll still be cheek by jowl with whoever buys it?

[Maryd.]

Well, we were planning on moving as well, but we want to see how much profit we make on it, so we know how much we have to play with on a the next home. I guess it all depends on where we want to live.

[Henry P]

So you will be upwardly mobile?

[Maryd.]

The problem we are having is the area... We can't afford the nice areas and the areas we can afford are dumps. We don't know if we'll stay yet. (May have to flip a coin)

I'm glad I am awake early today.

[Henry P]

At least you'll have a home, more money and time to look around

[Maryd.]

True, but the we'll have to be quick, as the houses in Melbourne are sky rocketing at the moment. I don't know what all the rush is for, everyone is in a hurry to either buy or sell. Do they think Australia will start running out of land. It's huge. I know there is this big issue with living in or close to the CBD. (City) But the market has gone crazy.

[Henry P]

it's crazy everywhere

[Maryd.]

I can't imagine why, there's plenty of planet to go around... What's the rush??

[Henry P]

Every patch of the planet belongs to someone

[Maryd.]

This is true. I take a patch that is warm and has lovely neighbours.

[Henry P]

it might cost a fortune

[Maryd.]

Well you put your little few pounds together, shake my pocket and together we should come up with enough to buy us a.... tent.

[Henry P]

But not a groundsheet

[Maryd.]

Can we afford food?

[Henry P]

just fresh air

[Maryd.]

Yay, we get to breathe.

I'm glad HenryP and I can joke about our crazy situations

[Henry P]

i'm glad we still have a sense of humour

[Maryd.]

I'm glad life isn't as bad as it was last month.

[Henry P]

I'm glad mine is better too

[Maryd.]

I'm glad it is a beautiful day.

[Henry P]

It is here as well , then there was a refreshing shower in the evening

[Maryd.]

But I can see a slight overcast at the moment. Looks like ran today.

I'm glad I am working in the house, today.

[Henry P]

I'm glad I've got two lessons today

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I am so close to finishing... Yay.

[Henry P]

I'm glad it's warm again here

[Maryd.]

I'm glad to see HenryP here tonight

[Henry P]

I'm glad I'm here every day

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I can still walk after all the work I have done today

[Henry P]

I'm glad I have trees in my garden

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I am a good friend.

[Henry P]

I'm glad you are

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I am not totally useless.

[Henry P]

No-one is useless, my dear

[Maryd.]

I know someone who would think otherwise...

[Henry P]

I know someone who thinks the same about me

[Maryd.]

I'm glad my friend doesn't think I am totally useless.

[Henry P]

How dare anyone suggest such slander?

[Maryd.]

(You're a sweetheart)

I'm glad you have boosted my confidence, since I have joined this site.

[Henry P]

You've certainly boosted mine, too

[Maryd.]

I'm glad that when the chips are down to friends can get together and look after each other.

[Henry P]

I'm glad we can boost each other's confidence

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I have been happier over the past week

[Henry P]

good for you, my dear> i'm Ok too

[Maryd.]

Just ok?

[Henry P]

Ok for me is pretty good.

[Maryd.]

Ok then.

I'm glad you are ok.

[Henry P]

I am. I've always been hard to please

[Maryd.]

I'm sure there is a way of pleasing you. Name your price? Anything?

[Henry P]

No, I mean I've always been of a sceptical if not cynical nature

[Maryd.]

Well, you know this then why don't you try to change... That is if you want to.

[Henry P]

I think I have. i'm more outgoing to people than i was, more accepting of their differences

[Maryd.]

Good man. Keep up the good work.
Mwah

[Henry P]

thanks, my dear

[Maryd.]

I am glad I can encourage my friends

[Henry P]

I'm glad I have a friend to support me

[Maryd.]

I'm glad this site attract lovely people.

[Henry P]

Most of us poets are nice people

[Maryd.]

Yes I believe poets to be nice, crazy, but nice.

[Henry P]

most of us are a little crazy

[Maryd.]

Some of us are very crazy.... Hahahaha.

[Henry P]

No, you're not

[Maryd.]

Mwah angel. You are still passing compliments, you're a gem.

[Henry P]

Everyone is a bit mad

[Maryd.]

Madness shows spark and energy. I love that in a person.

[Henry P]

I agree- it shows individuality and character and spirit

[Maryd.]

Who needs boring... Boring is for other people. Give me crazy and energetic any day.

[Henry P]

A lot of people prefer to be boring

[Maryd.]

Not me, everybody move out of the way and let me go crazy.... Wahoo!

[Henry P]

I like a bit of attention

[Maryd.]

I know you do... So do I.

[Henry P]

We're two of a kind, my dear

[Maryd.]

Yes... We're just too far away from each other. That's all.

[Henry P]

But I feel close to you

[Maryd.]

Yes, me too.

[Henry P]

I'm glad I stopped teaching in schools

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I am still sane, after todays experience.

[Henry P]

Why? what happened?

[Maryd.]

My crazy passport experience. At least it has been filed and now it's just a waiting game... Only 6 tries later.

[Henry P]

i'm glad you got it

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I got it too. This means travel next year is a must...

[Henry P]

Start saving now, my dear

[Maryd.]

Darn it, now I have to do a budget.

[Henry P]

Our government is going to slash budgets to save money

[Maryd.]

Wonder if they'll slash their own budgets as well.

[Henry P]

They've reduced their own pay. I think they mean business, but the rich will be safe

[Maryd.]

Typical...

I'm glad I am not rich

[Henry P]

We could all do with extra income, my dear

[Maryd.]

What would you do with it?

[Henry P]

My cars will need replacing sooner or later. One is 8 years old, the other seven

[Maryd.]

They are younger than our cars. One is 14 and 12... Same age as our kids. So funny that.

[Henry P]

What's your other car?

[Maryd.]

A Camry.

[Henry P]

A big Toyota. They're reliable as well, more so than the new ones with all the recalls

[Maryd.]

Initially we bought the car for me, as I drove the kids around everywhere and needed a reliable car. But it was too big for me, so hubby took it and bought me the nissan pulsar which is a smaller car.

[Henry P]

That is like an Almera isn't it?

[Maryd.]

Sort of... Mine is older looking and maybe not so detailed. It does have a spoiler, which I detest. I find it annoying and it blocks my view.

[Henry P]

So it's a coupe?

[Maryd.]

It looks like this...

http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/2/3516/1241/21288120001_large.jpg

[Henry P]

that's Fine. What colour is yours?

[Maryd.]

Black

[Henry P]

Mine are white and silver. White Yaris coz it was a showroom model, and silver Lexus IS 200 because it looks good

[Maryd.]

You have good taste.

[Henry P]

I like to think so

[Maryd.]

I'm glad Henry brings up my errs in the english language diplomatically.

[Henry P]

I should have been an ambassador

[Maryd.]

I would vote for you... Except I don't think the Aussie's votes are accepted in England.

[A.M.Wood]

Getting my first post blues out of the way induces feelings of wondrous gladicity.

I would also be even more glad, were gladicity a real word.

[Henry P]

They are if the Aussies also have British citizenship

[Maryd.]

Getting my first post blues out of the way induces feelings of wondrous gladicity.

I would also be even more glad, were gladicity a real word.

Welcome:)


They are if the Aussies also have British citizenship

True that. I need a job, will you hire me as your secretary?:):)

[Henry P]

Of course, my dear. as soon as I can afford to

[Maryd.]

I bring a notepad and pen

[Henry P]

I'll provide everything else

[Maryd.]

You and I would be a great team...

[Henry P]

i'm glad you think so

[Maryd.]

So when can I start?

[Henry P]

When someone goes to Poland for two weeks?

[Maryd.]

When is that?

[Henry P]

The last two weeks in August. I'll be alone most of the time as Steph will be staying at Harrogate (about 25 miles away) to do her hospital practice

[Maryd.]

Come over...

[Henry P]

I'll be over in spirit, my dear

[Maryd.]

(There's that dreaming again...)

At this rate, we'll never wake up.

[Henry P]

I like sleeping anyway

[Maryd.]

Me, not so much.

Never mind you sleep and I'll watch.

[Henry P]

I snore a bit

[Maryd.]

That's alright I think everyone does... They just don't admit it.
I'll watch you breathe. I like to watch people breathe when they sleep. I do that with my children.

[Henry P]

I like that, but some people think its spooky

[Maryd.]

I don't, I love to be watched while I sleep. I like to see their eyelids move, when they are dreaming. How odd, but cute, is that.

[Henry P]

I think it's cute. I'm glad I sleep well

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I sleep more these days.

[Henry P]

I only need to be horizontal and a lack of noise and I'm away

[Maryd.]

I have fallen asleep at the computer, many a time...

[Henry P]

Do you just slump on the table?

[Maryd.]

Yes, it's so funny, you would laugh if you saw me...

[Henry P]

My mother-in-law does that, just slumps on a table and nods off

[Maryd.]

Darling I can sleep anywhere, as long as it's warm. It came from my weird past of being dumped all over the place...

[A.M.Wood]

You know what makes me glad?

CHOCOLATE
CHIP
COOKIES

I'm most indulgent this morning.

[Maryd.]

You know what makes me glad?

CHOCOLATE
CHIP
COOKIES

I'm most indulgent this morning.

Yum... Aaron... Don't hog them all to yourself, hands some over.:)

[Henry P]

I'm glad food tastes so good

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I still like food.

[Henry P]

some people don't seem to care for it. Perhaps to them, nothing tastes as good as skinny feels, as Kate Moss put it

[Maryd.]

Oh, wasn't she shocking looking.

I love food. I just can't give it up. Apart from my children and writing it is the only other thing I like.

[Henry P]

I love food too, but I also love music and readiing. and talking to certain people

[Maryd.]

Yes I know...

[Henry P]

I'm glad you understand

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I am in a silly mood.

[Henry P]

I'm glad to hear it. I thought you were a little depressed

[Maryd.]

I am... But I get in silly moods when I am depressed. It is my way of coping.

[Henry P]

It's better than moping or hiding in bed as I used to do

[Maryd.]

Yes but I do stupid things. Like when I go shopping I put on an accent and pretend I am from another race and don't understand them... It is so funny. It makes me feel better.

[Henry P]

As long as no harm is done to anyone, my dear

[Maryd.]

No, only to me. I did it at a school function once. I was taking tickets at the door. I put on one accent, with a slight squeal to it. Later, I was on drink duty, pouring all the cordial, with another accent and a weird squeak. At the end of the night, I helped with clean up and had almost lost my voice.

[Henry P]

you're full of character, my dear

[Maryd.]

Sometimes... But most of the time I am a recluse

[Henry P]

Same here
But I'm glad my exxam marking is coming in- over £3 a script

[Maryd.]

That means nothing to me... Is that good?

[Henry P]

I get over £3 a head for marking 500+ kids's GCSE exams.

[Maryd.]

Again is that good, I have no idea about pounds and the value of it. Since we use dollars here in Australia.

[Henry P]

pretty good for sitting at home, equivalent to over a month's extra income

[Henry P]

pretty good for sitting at home, equivalent to over a month's extra income

[Maryd.]

Ok, so you're rich noe... Yeah! I know a rich man...

[Henry P]

My wife doesn't think I'm rich

[Maryd.]

Says she who is a millionaire... Yes?

[Henry P]

Hardly.

[Maryd.]

Hahahaha....

I am glad my friend Henry has a sense of humour.

[Henry P]

A dry, sarcastic one with spells of silliness

[Maryd.]

Oh yes... And it's just perfect. I think I have the same sense of humour

[Henry P]

good for you. The best style of humour

[Maryd.]

I am glad HenryP cheered me up tonight.:hug:

[Henry P]

Pleased to be of service, my dear

[Maryd.]

And are you just so perfect in every way, or whay?

[Henry P]

I don't like my knees

[Maryd.]

Your knees... You are worried about your knees?... Do you have problems with them?

[Henry P]

no, I'm joking. They're just knobbly

[Maryd.]

Oh, I call them church knees... You know when you kneel in church and then you have to stand up, they look odd... Church knees.

[Henry P]

I'm glad I'm not balding

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I still have long hair.

[Henry P]

I am glad I am literate

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I have two computers.

[Henry P]

I'm glad mine works well again. I'll get Steph another for when she goes to Harrogate

[Maryd.]

Our second one, we had to buy for Andrew. He couldn't start year seve without it. Can you believe that?

[Henry P]

The government has given cheap laptops to poor families here for free. Some were just sold for beer and cigs

[Maryd.]

So sad... I'd rather the laptops. Don't get me wrong, the government, funded $250.00 of each laptop, we paid the extra $1,125.00

[Henry P]

That's an expensive laptop

[Maryd.]

Yes... And it's always playing up.

[Henry P]

Is it? Or is it your ISP?

[Maryd.]

Do you mean filter?

[Henry P]

I mean who you pay for broadband

[Maryd.]

Ok elaborate?

[Henry P]

Your phone company?

[Maryd.]

Why would they have anything to do with it?

[Henry P]

so who provides your internet service?

[Maryd.]

We do, when at home. Whilst at school, the school does.

[Henry P]

what do you mean by we?

[Maryd.]

Andrew plugs his computer into our internet when at home and the school has wireless when he is there.

[Henry P]

but who pays? It's not free

[Maryd.]

We pay at home... It is free at school. We pay a fortune in school fees, I should hope it's free.

[Henry P]

ah, right. My internet is "free" with our phone service

[Maryd.]

Wow, we don't have deals like that here.

[Henry P]

You might have. Investigate. The service is a bit slower, but so what?

[Maryd.]

I am signed into contract with the service I am with for 2 years.

[Henry P]

I'm glad I'm online

[Maryd.]

Even though we lost, I am glad Henry and I watched the match together.

[Henry P]

I'm glad too . it was fun

[Maryd.]

And I needed consoling after they lost. Lucky you were here.

[Henry P]

I'm glad you think so

[Maryd.]

I'm glad I you watched the game with me... I loved the company.
