Here we can all be heard for a little while. Part 3

Waves_and_Smiles

In family tree news we have been counting how many relatives were admitted to long time insane asylums (as they were then). Thirteen relatives in 100 years. There is a huge hereditary element. It's sad but even more evidence it's not my fault.

WaS,

I wish you didn't need evidence that it wasn't your fault. I wish you could believe it deep down.

I am still looking forward to your eventual book!!

I had the most lovely chat with someone today who I haven't talked to for a while. So reassuring and sensible. It is rare that I feel that all's well with my (slightly weird) world.

It's like I've stepped through a time-portal into a fantasmagorical future.............

:eek: :eek: :eek:

.........or fallen through a wormhole into a parallel but unrecognisable universe.............



.........or transmorphed across the faint fabric of a blurred boundary between this existence and another.............

:huh: :huh: :huh:



...............the words are English, yet I don't understand a thing!

(((oakdene))) hang in there. Probably not what you want to hear but maybe there was alcohol involved, making her a bit nostalgic. She has your friendly message to break the ice so maybe in time she'll get back in touch. It's tough when you feel you've done the hard work in getting used to no contact and then something seems to change it all again.

Ok...so you were right to suggest hanging in there, she has replied...Just got to get the balls to open it now :rotfl:

Open it! Open it!

whitewing

Yes, open it!!

Oakdene

Yeah, think it was a mistake her liking the picture as she said 'It popped up on mine too' which it cant have as it wasnt a timehop picture or a 'this time last year on'.

Oh well

Like many things, online gaming has a language all of its own and words get adapted from their original meanings to fit the new context. Without the context of the game, or class of games, it is difficult to understand.

Even people that have been playing online games for years can require a learning period when joining a game that is new to them but already has an established player community, necessary to pick up the specific terms used in that game. One could almost call it different dialects.

Hmm, wonder if Michael Rosen would like to do a Word of Mouth on it :rotfl:

That's ok, Ono, I'll just have to think up another technical music question I can ask JM! :rotfl:
