Hi marina, everything ok? I would like to request the word [danger] :mrgreen:
Yes I budget! Everyone should. It helps to know where all your money is going and it helps with paying bills in a timely manner and planning for your future.
[please] and [thank you]

Nard is mentioned twice in the biblical love poem, the Song of Solomon (1:12 and 4:13). In Mark 14:3 a woman anoints Jesus’ head with expensive nard and John 12:3, Mary, sister of Lazarus uses an alabaster jar of pure nard to anoint Jesus’s feet. Judas Iscariot, the keeper of the _money-bag,- asked why the ointment wasn’t sold for three hundred denarii instead
Hello my dear Teacher:
could you please explain the origin of the word [NO], that would be so interesting.
hope u listen my request.
Hugs
Jairo from Venezuela =)!
Another day, another video… oh wait!
I guess that’s some other site, huh?
Teacher’s off playing [hookie]? AGAIN!!
Marina’s real gone :cry:
:mrgreen: It’s Sunday Morning and time for…ANOTHER PARK ANOTHER SUNDAY :mrgreen:
:smile: Here’s a :lol: post on an Atlanta TV station: KidDictionary .
There’s an Australian company that will make you a nifty bougette out of a kangaroo scrotum, Marina. <3
Could you please explain how the word [apprehend] came to have 3 meanings?
BTW: Does your site have a link to http://www.freerice.com/index.php anywhere?
hugs,
Batty :cool:
It doesn’t link to them.. but you brought up a good suggestions… I should list links somewhere! Let me get on that.
Huh? Mondo cows, bobbin’ and weavin’, one handed clappin’, mushin poultry? I leave the breakfast club for a couple weeks, and look what happens… :???:
I used to reply alot, I can’t find many comments I can reply too… hmm
Here ya go. Comment on this! :mrgreen:
Not available in the UK, bastards.
Hmm… No biggie. It’s a song called “Laid” by some dude called James. Pretty stupid, really. He’s all cross dressing and sing to (himself?) Just trying to pull your chain, but I am sleep deprivated and not very witty. Just think of something clever and offensive, put my name on the end of it, then say something nasty to put me in my place. :roll:
Don’t you just love the new laws in England? It’s surprising how conservative the country is becoming. With the new comic book law and now you can’t watch any music videos! V is for Vendetta is coming true very quickly!
Good mornin’, M’Lady. I haven’t seen you in a while. I hope you are feeling better. give the Big Apple a hug from me.
Good Morning in New Amsterdam…[blankets]
It’s going to happen here in the US, too.
Yesterday I saw protesters with signs at
major intersections here in Ft Lauderdale
which read “Stop the Madness”. These
weren’t kids, either. It was working class
people – mothers and fathers..
It won’t be long before the peaceful attempts
stop and more forceful protests occur.
Should they decide to organize and shut down
the highway system, for example; driving like
OJ at 5 mph, you might begin to notice, if
the lackies in the media report it happening…
Summers coming … People out of work got
nothing to do but think of clever ways to get
the point across. Sure hope somebody listens
before riots break out. Do you have any idea
how much it costs to mobilize the National Guard
for just one day?
Canadian Conservatives shut down Parliament!
English Conservatives berate the Prime Minister!
Too bad US conservatives han no balls… :neutral:
Oops! (no edit function?!)

Joe Biden on the job working for you.
This is what you get for being complacent. :neutral:
Well, with President Obama content to chuck Yes We Can and Change and Hope in favor of following the blocks up the left side of the field of Nancy, Harry, Dodd & Frank in Congress (how smart, really, is a honeymoonin’ Prez with a then-70+% approval rating defering stimulus and spending bills to left wingers who have approval ratings in the teens, half of where Bush was?) while getting Treasury to usurp the whole of the financial sector, or in other words letting the deficit in 5 and 10 years time sail out of the atmosphere, I must say that, so far, this Presidency has been all I hoped it would be.
As a dutiful Republican, I pulled up the ladder after the McCain nomination became inevitable. Instead of helping McCain outdo Bush in terms of bringing Republican methods and ends more in line with Democrats–and since everyone knew McCain would lose anyway (he didn’t even beat Bush in 2000)–I was content to openly pull for McCain to fail, which is why it’s OK for me to openly pull for Obama to fail now; equal opportunity in all its splendor.
Now, the biggest obstacle in my view (presuming that the known talent, names and faces of today will be candidates in 2012 where, likley, known ills will still persist) is getting the Culturalist types within our party over hating mormons since Romney has the potential to be one of America’s better Presidents. So as Obama continues much of the things we all disliked about Bush, while also failing to deliver any Change other than taking power and wealth from private hands, we should be OK with this because it’s truly like giving him enough rope. Unless, of course, we screw ourselves in the primary again and get stuck with Sarah Palin or Mike Huckabee.

I’d like to request the word [memsahib]. Thanks.
I was wondering the origin of the word [God].
Obviously something the Germans came up with (Gm. “Gott”). Most of the rest of the Indo-European family uses variations on the Sanskrit “Deva”: Diva, Deus, Zeus, Dios, Dieu, Duw, & related words like “divine,” “Jupiter” (originally “Deus Pater” (father god)) etc. (I was going to guess “Diwali” also, but that’s a contraction of Sk. “DÄ«pÄwali” a row of lamps lit in the sacred festival.) :cool:
I’d go into the Slavic side of the etymology, but I’m afraid I’d get “bogged” down in the discussion. {Evan ducks yet another fusillade from the Slavophiles :lol: }
I would like to request the word [Amen].
Marina what are ajaxed comments?
MEDICAL MIRACLES
An Israeli doctor said to a medical conference, “Medicine in my country is so advanced, we can take a kidney out of one person, put it into another, and have him looking for work in six weeks.”
The German doctor stood up and said, “Well, medicine in my country is so advanced, we can take a lung out of one person and put it in another and have him looking for work in four weeks.”
The Russian doctor got up and said,”My country is even more advanced. We can remove half a heart from one person, put it into another and have them both looking for work in just two weeks.”
Not to be outdone, the American doctor stood up and addressed the conference.
“Well”, he said, “my country is so far advanced in medicine we can take an asshole out of Chicago, put him in the White House, and have half the country looking for work in 24 hours!”
GOOD ONE :lol: :lol: :lol:
That joke is an insult to all the assholes who never hurt anybody :neutral:
Yep.

This is getting to be a lot like going to the grocery store.
Publiz never has items I specifically go there for, and
it wastes my time. Walgreens is the same way, too.
I never go there anymore. This is all good news for
Costco! They’re the only ones I do my business with
these days – because it’s the only place I can get it done!
Marina,
I’m sorry you’re sick. Hope you get well quickly.
Be safe on your trip east, and break a leg on The Factor. I always enjoy watching you there.
Stay in touch, Babe. Love you!
Always.
Who’s sick? :roll:
You mean to tell us that this site is now abandoned and only the Twitterverse is getting Marina’s attention?!
That is fucked up…
Hi Marina,
Who was Larry as in [happy as Larry] ?
How can a brush be daft as in [daft as a brush] ?
Where does the word [onomatopoeia] come from ?
A: “Onomato” is obviously the singular of “twomato.” “Poeia” comes from the Greek “ποιÎω” meaning “I create.” So obviously it comes down to the question of “What can I make with one tomato?”, the answer being a nice garnish for one’s dinner or a small batch of salsa.
Q: What do you get when you combine attention deficit disorder with unrestrained free-association and an overdose of caffeine?
Q: What do you get when you combine attention deficit disorder with unrestrained free-association and an overdose of caffeine?
A: Captain Jacks Tweets? :razz:
More onomotopoeia :10 -:14 :grin:
Wrong. The singular of “twomato” is “onemato” not “onomato”. Any way, who asked you ? I want Marina’s explanation. Now take your tiny little Irish American dick out of your mouth and go and get a life.
Lunch bag…is not free…cook my budget!!!!!books are runs of home :oops: Budgie’s New friend… :razz: [hangback] :???:

Hey its me again! :) If ur not finding the origin of wrestling, how about android if u havent already. Sorry, havent been watching ur vids lately. :(
Hi Marina,
I am looking for the word [ ICEALITY ]
To find some info, google search the 500,000 hits ICEALITY has recieved so far.
Bonus: If you can do a short segment on the word ICEAlity, the segment will promoted/linked to all the affiliated web sites connected to International Arts and Culture!!
Thanks
Renate
Hey Marina! This is my first comment on ur website! Anyway, can u do the word wrestling if u havent already.
Today I will sit crossed legged and ponder a koan. Not really, just discovered the word ‘koan’ and wanted to use it in a sentence.
I think it’s a Zen thing, Bob care to elaborate? :idea:
According to Dictionary.com ‘mondo’ is a Zen word also:
a question to a student for which an immediate answer is demanded, the spontaneity of which is often illuminating.
But I use the 2nd slang definition of this word:
as an adverb -
1. very; extremely: mondo cool.
I substitute this word for ‘awesome’ in the expression mondo cool, to mean extremely cool :cool:
[mondo]
Blockquotes are not working again. {no biggie} or should I say no mondo deal*
*adj. Enormous; huge: a mondo list of pizza toppings
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koan
So, is someone who contemplates the sound of one hand clapping a “koan head”? :???:
Is one who rejects duality capable of making puns? :???:
Does one who is incapable of making puns have Buddha nature? :???:
Mu!
(Has the cow Buddha-nature or not?) :mrgreen:
I forgot my ‘mantra’ someone get the Maharishi on the phone. :grin:
Cowabunga.
Bob & Weave lol lol
{Evan applauds with one hand} :razz:
Well, there’s the Zen mondo and the Italian mondo, and a “world” of difference between them! :mrgreen:
{ssshhh did you ear that, I think a tree just fell in the woods}

Liquidity is when you look at your retirement funds and wet your pants!
Hello, all.
Did you ever name the dog??
Thanks,
Maybe we should start a forum, just to list all the loose ends Marina needs to follow up on (for those who have paid attention).
Anybody get a report card, yet? :mrgreen:

No memory? :mrgreen:
Alex, your avatar with the finger reminds me of Nelson Rockefeller’s last appearance at a Republican National Convention, in which he flipped the bird at his hecklers. Newsweek labeled the photo “Rocky’s doit de seigneur.” :lol:
Marina, i was wondering where does the word ‘examination’ comes from? Thanks!
Hey BillyB and Captain and others.
Here are the Sexy Geek numbers since last night, or a little over 24 hours ago. Here is the break down:
——————————————————-
Marina’s Up Votes
went from 34,615 to 34,624. A gain of 9 votes.
Phil’s Up Votes
went from 31,985 to 31,995. A gain of 10 votes.
——————————————————-
——————————————————-
Marina’s Down Votes
went from 11,574 to 11,579. A gain of -5 votes.
Phil’s Down Votes
went from 7,831 to 7,841. A gain of -10 votes.
——————————————————-
Marina’s net Votes is a gain: +9 – 5 = +4 votes
Phil’s net Votes is null: +10 – 10 = 0 votes
Conclusion:
Only 9 votes were registered in the affirmative for Marina.
That means only nine people voted, but in reality since Billy and I vote twice (we have two DSLs), only 7 people actually voted.
Did you notice that even though Phil had one more affirmative vote than Marina, the Down voting canceled that out.
A few months back, there used to be between 150 – 600 net votes cast each day for Marina. What happened?
For those of you who say that you are the number #1 fan of HotForWords, here is your chance to prove it.
Vote for Marina today! at this link.

For those of you who are interested in the Ship High In Transit stuff, Marina covered that on the Maxim radio show #5. According to Marina’s Twitter, she will be returning to do the show with Stretch.
Here is that 5th Maxim Radio show.
It’s a guess the word game in the first half of the show.
Excellent show.

So HotForWords, how would you react if someone wrote a poem for you? Would you find it [kinky]? :twisted:
I was surprised you hadn’t covered this one yet. Upon further pondering, though, I expect it might not be particularly interesting topic. If so, maybe [poem]?
I’ve never seen a purple screen,
I never hope to see one,
But I could sell you my spleen,
If I could just film it in front of one.
Well, Pagedoll wrote Marina a poem about A HotForWords Christmas and she didn’t react at all! :cry:
But, just as an experiment, we could try again:
“I’ll make a proposal quite kinky,”
Said Evan, while giving a winky,
“If you’ll answer my tweet
I’ll nibble your feet
If they’re not too excessively stinky!” :mrgreen:
[limerick]oh, never mind! :razz:PS mr.confuzed, if you want [kinky], check out fetish. :grin:

There are good budgets and bad budgets. Marina, how do youscore a budget :?: :mrgreen:
OK, I admit that’s obscure, but Marina and our Russian students will get it…right, guys? Guys?
{Evan dodges apples, erasers, and spitwads.} :lol:
Hey, here’s where Marina got the idea for this lesson!
Everyone kept bugging her about “When are you going to post a new lesson?!” and she kept thinking to herself, “Скоро будет, skoro budjet…Budget! what a great idea!” :mrgreen:
Hello Marina I would like to request the word [dixie]. The southern U.S. is sometimes referred to as “dixie” and I haven’t been able to determine where that term came from. Thanks!
If you could, you would be better than these guys, who admit no clear answer.
Hey, Marina. Thanks for finally changing the header pic. That older one just didn’t do you justice. Maybe you could rotate the header each month with a pic from your calendar for those of us who are not fortunate enough to own your calendar?
Hi Marina, I would like to rquest the word [heteroskedasticity]
I have been studying economics in Brazil and since my first semester I use this word but don’t know where it come from.
Also, someone wrote and academic paper about this word, just check out google scholar.
bye bye
I would like to request the word :arrow: [ Etero ]
Thank ^^
Bye Bye
Ps ; Marina , i say to you in my language , ” sei bellissima ”
Italian word :oops:
I don’t speak Italian, but io capisco perfettamente! D’accorde! :grin:
Hi Marina,
Please check out these ‘budgets’, which a friend of mine makes. She seems to be having a few problems with her website loading properly, but I think you will like what you see there once she gets those problems fixed.
http://www.vickilovedesigns.com/home
Those are nice ‘budgets’ :-)
M, if someone sends you one of those as a gift, do you “score a ‘budget’ ” :razz:
OK, I’m overworking that pun, sorry! :oops:
I would like to request the word [howdy].
howdy = how do you do?
fairdamiddlin = OK
I would like to request the word [jester] .
[hayatt] like the expensive hotels around the world, where did that word come from? if you do this please say my name NADEEM PLEASEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hyatt van Dehn, a LA real estate man built the first off-airport hotel, Hyatt House, at LAX. Jay Pritzker, a Chicago lawyer (and WWII naval aviator) bought it from him in 1957 and thus started the Hyatt empire.
Oh, and Nadeem Pleaseeeee.
Just received the HotForWords second weekly update.
Marina, you are way too funny;
“Get a calendar for your girlfriend or wife.
It makes for a great April Fools Day gift :-)” :lol:
“Bulge” and the YouTube title for this lesson (“squeeze my budget”) remind me of what I once heard: an old lady was asking a little school boy about a jingle they used to say when she was little and wondering if kids still said that jingle; I do not remember the exact jingle, but remember the thought expressed by its punch line: “when you check-out a guy, do you see the bulge in his pocket or the bulge elsewhere?”
This was in Ithaca, NY. Anyone here know of that (or similar) jingle?
Marina, In case you are tweaking to control when the emailing of “Your comment … has a new reply” notice happens, I got two notices for the same new reply (in two instances).
Correction — in just one instance, viz., Captain Jack’s 68.2.2.2; and the notice I got does not have the beginning “ampersand-symbol hs4mm,”.
I saw Linda Eder and Marvin Hamlisch at a hotsy-totsy event last night. Naturally, I was proudly [decked out] in jeans and boots among all the tuxes and ballgowns. I actually own a tux, but haven’t worn it in years. Anyway, before departing this [mortal coil] I highly recommend witnessing Linda in concert. She has that genuine sweetness Marina exudes, and the [chops] Streisand wishes she could have had.
Just got a new follower on Twitter call April Fools Day, suspect if I click on the link I will get a virus, I will block it. Has anyone else seen this.

You will have to forgive me ; I thought I had gone to hotforwords website, not pathetic looser who want to pretend to be smart but in reality are dumb-ass’s . Take that zink and shove it up your asshole ” Even Oven “. Marina’s site is a fun and 99% of us enjoy her beauty mixed with interesting topics . Again , I did asked her , not you . You jerks really need to get a life .
Are you on, or off medication :?:
Let me correct you on some severe errors.
Spelling: “loser” is spelled with one “o”
“asses” is the correct spelling, unless you are using the possessive form.
“zink” is a metal spelled zinc.
Evan Owen is the correct way to spell the man’s name.
Alliteration: I did asked her; should read either
“I asked her”, or “I did ask her”
“I thought I had gone to hotforwords website, not pathetic looser who want to pretend to be smart but in reality are dumb-ass’s .”
this is a messy way to construct a sentence.
hotforwords should be hotforword’s because you have used it in the possessive form.
“pathetic lo(o)ser who want(s) to pretend to be smart”
should be hyphenated throughout. Also, use of the word “to” is repeated extraneously. Bad grammar…
99% is an assumed number and is not factually provable.
aLex objects to your collective use of the word “we”.
I forgive you for your terrible attitude, but your language skills ar not forgivable, sorry.
I may be a jerk, but I’ve got a life already and I don’t care for nor need advice from one who doesn’t have the education to communicate using the language of his native tongue. Stay in school! Peace :mrgreen:
Oops! missed one: dumb-ass’s is not a hyphenated word, and is used incorrectly in the possessive form :mrgreen:
This lesson was brought to you free by:
Me Lika Do The Cha Cha
Teacher’s Assistant
The next lesson will cost you…
Actually, Chacha, you missed yet another one: “Marina’s site is a fun.” “ A fun???” That’s either an [extraneous] article, or the drug haze made him forget to put in the noun modified by “fun.” Just trying to help. :grin:
Thanks! Kind of like trying to find a needle in a stack of needles, in’it? :smile:
You probably notice that when I use bad english, I try to annotate it with punctuation marks… :mrgreen:
Lol you two are so funny. It’s like watching boy shooting spit wads across the room but instead of wads of paper they are wads of words and other grammatic statements.
You know I was just thinking. If I had never been to HFW and you guys asked me to come over to HTW; I would have said screw you I don’t do words. There would never be a day I would ever visit that kind of site. Now I see myself here being amused at this little word game. I trully never know what new adventures my life takes me. :)
When I would brown bag it, back in high school, I’d eat lunch in an empty second floor classroom, with a window overlooking some building exit doors right below it.
Being naturally devious, I’d half fill the paper bag with water, from a handy nearby water fountain; wait until somebody opened the door – and chuck the bag out the window.
This usually resulted in a near miss, and I would listen to a tirade of obscenities (laughing my butt off) coming from my intended victim.
So, there I was one day, same old same…
the door opens, I let the bag go, and…
realized that it had hit the school vice principal on the shoulder, which caused it to explode into a shower – totally soaked him! Needless to say, I ran!!
What did you do in high school?
(I’ve got a few good stories like that…)
I think you should forgive the boy’s language skills too Cha Cha. He may be some outsider from a foreign place or something. English is perhaps not his native tongue. Perhaps it’s his culture to go and tell people to shove zink up their a$$h0l3s? He may also have had some bad experiences in the past with jerks, pathetic loosers and people who pretend to be smart but are dumb-a$$es?
Anyways. It’s Friday. Time for beers, girls and solid rock’n roll!!! FREEDOM! YEAH!!!
Hasta la vista! Arrivederci!
He could be a college grad from one of those foreign schools like … Berkley? Bwaahaahaa! :mrgreen:
He’s from Canada and may have been hit in the head with to many hockey pucks. :mrgreen:
One day in high school I brought in two 16oz cans of Colt 45, started to drink them under the stair well where the coke station was, it was my job to distribute the coke to homerooms during my free period before lunch.
So I pop the tab and start drinking, the other kids are so paranoid. A few minutes go by and then we hear the big fat principle come down the stairs. The first and only time we ever seen him come into our space.
I needed to hide the beer so I open the door to the janitor’s closet which was built-in under the stairs. Would you know it he was walking down the stairs with the janitor.
They stop right in front of us and the janitor goes into the closet, we can all smell the malt liquor in the confine space, thinking to myself, of all the days for the principle to show up.
The janitor went in the closet got whatever he came for and left what out ever saying a thing. But from that day on he always gave me a funny look. :wink:
…and you need an attitude adjustment. Abusing other participants isn’t appreciated here, and definitely won’t endear you to our lovely teacher. Go chill.
Hi jujitsu, and welcome to HotForWords :!:
ChaCha was a little rough with you, but he did offer some good pointers if you’re looking to polish your English. :grin: Thanks for giving me an excuse to diss you yesterday; hadn’t done that to anyone for awhile, and it really felt good! :lol:
Anyhow, no offense taken on this end; lots of folks want to clobber me from time to time. (Hey, bsomebody, are you reading? Occurs to me I never did ask exactly why you wanted to clobber me, just figured you had a reason, but now I’m curious.)
ChaCha, the Evan “Oven” joke started as a bilingual pun from renepayback, so don’t blame jujitsu.
Anyway, ChaCha and I (along with the other 99%) DO enjoy Marina’s beauty and lessons, as well as razzing each other and our fellow students. As far as getting a life…I’ve noticed even those who spend a lot of time here are also doing a heck of a lot of other interesting things as well.
Honestly I don’t believe Marina will answer your word request :sad: (ChaCha, as TA, would you agree?), so if you really want an answer (not from me) click Ship High In Transit. :razz:

OK, we heard the teacher…
Jujitsu, I apologize for the first reply I made to your comment. People who know me here understand that I was making fun of myself, not you, because I often make up joke stories about word origins, sort of like your “Ship High In Transit.” :lol:
Anyway, welcome again, and hope you continue to enjoy Marina’s videos and the stories and jokes we tell each other in the remarks. :smile:

♫ ♪ Great bass in the power version ♫ ♪
I had a study hall on the second floor in a classroom, which had the old sash style of windows.
There weren’t enough desks for everybody, so I’d sit in the open window, usually dangling one leg outside. Miss Tobias, the study hall monitor, was a language teacher I had for Spanish and Latin. She was a cutie; taught Italian, too…
Every day I’d do this, she’d say “One of these days, you’re going to fall out the window”. I’d laugh and nod in agreement. It was that beautiful spring weather Ohio gets, sunny and warm…
One day, I was passing a novelty shop and saw tubes of “Vampire Blood”, a red gel that looks a lot like real blood! I bought six tubes…
The next day, instead of going up to the classroom, I went to the sidewalk below the window, and squirted all six tubes into a big puddle. I laid down in a contorted position, when I heard the last bell ring. I could hear Miss Tobias ask where I was, to which my buddy Jim Vanderpool replied “Miss Tobias! He fell out the window!”. I was squinting with one eye, laying with my head next to this HUGE puddle, and saw her look out the window above, TWICE!
Next thing I hear is the poor gal screaming into the intercom, but none of it was in English…
Really shook her up…
I was up, nonchalantly walking into the class, as if nothing happened, and she snatched me up by my ear! It was either follow her (and she was moving fast), or lose the ear. Down to the principals office, where I got a lecture about scaring the hell out of the teacher, and how this wasn’t “cool” or “funny”. Almost got a three day suspension, but I ended up with one of those writing asssignments: “I will not terrify Miss Tobias ever again” a thousand times…
As an after note, she was the only teacher to give me a kiss at graduation.
My algebra teacher was Mr. Tobias, he looked like Mr. Clean.
No matter how hard you push the envelope, it’s still stationery. :mrgreen:

Keeping with your money them, I would like to request the phrase [ red cent ]. As in I don’t think we should give AIG one more red cent.
Not quite politically correct. American cents used to have the head of a First American (once called “Indian” or “red man”) on them, hence the phrase [red cent.] :wink:
PS around our neck of the woods, they’re collectively called Elip Tillicum (First People), from the Chinook jargon; then, according to their specific tribe, Lummi, Nooksack, Skagit, Samish, Swinomish, Stillaguamish, Skykomish, Snoqualmie, Duwamish, Skokomish, Chehalis, Chinook, Makah, Suquamish, etc. (mish meaning “people” in the Salish language.) :cool:
I’d like to be on a budget, but my wife is rather uncooperative :roll: so we wing it. It causes the savings account to erode from time to time, instead of building up. Some people think of budgets as straitjackets, but I see them as liberating from the tyranny of fluctuating or unpredictable expenses.
I wing it responsibly. Btw, I have another word request: [Ladybird]
The name does not seem to fit the animal. :???:
Ladybird was the name of a character in Horton Hatches the Egg, by Dr. Seuss. She abandons her egg to go on vacation, and Horton cares for it until it hatches.

Sorry to hear about YouTube making life hard for you. Anyway, I think that [confetti] is a fun word, and would make a fun video! :smile:
what the fuck? is pagination still there or is it back?
I give up Alex. One day it’s here the next day it’s gone, who knows.
weird, ain’t it. i cleared my cache / cookies several times yesterday and today. oh well.
Marina blames James that’s why he is detention. LOL. Just kidding. :cool:
M tried it out for a moment to see it worked and the site was dogged down so she turned it back on. We’re working on a solution that hopefully solve this issue and we can turn off pagination for good. :)
it worked just fine before. so it’ll work just fine after. wtf.
They’re using Apples… :mrgreen:
For you, yes.
Anything you can reveal about the nature of the solution?
Yes, it has to do with decreasing the the number of stops photons have to make to get when getting to their destination.
Then perhaps I misunderstood Marina; here’s why:
1) Server Load: has to do with what the server has to do to generate the page that the user wants to see — most of the work involves SQL queries to disk farms.
2) User Experience: has to do with two things: (a) how long it takes for the user’s browser to get the initial part of the requested page; and (b) once the initial part has arrived, how long it takes to get the last part of the page.
(2.b) has to do with the user’s bandwidth to the internet.
(2.a) has to do with (2.a.i) the distance (number of hops) between the user and the server, and with (2.a.ii) the work load on the server.
Decreasing the number of stops will reduce (2.a.i) — it will have no effect on (1, equivalently on 2.a.ii).
I thought Marina’s concern was with (1) — which is not addressed by “decreasing the number of stops”.

Someone with WP and Godaddy who is experiencing
“a lot of database connection errors and slowdowns lately”: http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/contact-your-wordpress-guru-day#comment-10907
Yes it is common knowledge that Godaddy is not a very good host for sites the have a lot of traffic. They are good at selling and managing domain names and that’s about it. This idea of them becoming a host was good but they went about it the wrong way. There hosting services are best for smaller sites. Also I find their interface very difficult to use.
Alex,
I’m sorry.. but until someone comes up with an ajaxified paged comments that will work with threaded comments on WordPress, I will have to stick with the paged comments. I don’t like them either!
Maybe you have already seen this: Someone with WP and Godaddy who is experiencing “a lot of database connection errors and slowdowns lately”: http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/contact-your-wordpress-guru-day#comment-10907
Two links on how to customize “Read More” in WP (may or may not help, but here they are):
1) Article: http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More
2) Plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cy-custom-morelink/
Not really. Marina is doing a bit of coding in WP. She is rather knowledgeable about how the depths of WP works. What’s needed is someone with in depth knowledge about coding plug ins.
Attention fine members of Marinaville, as PedanticKarl tallies the voting difference between Sxephil and our beloved Marina we still need to vote daily to close the differential gap between the two. Even though Marina is in the lead there is a difference in the up votes and the down votes so we need to even them out and jump ahead with the up and down votes if I am right. Errra ask PK if I am not. He has the figures. I am just the booster club. :lol: So please still vote for M she deserves the votes. :grin:
I’M glad Capman911, that you are up and at’em…bird Flu…a chicken in every pot

Good for them. Sounds like they’re doing it right.
I beg for a budget…get it?
I’m drinking my coffee, looking for the new lesson – where is it? :roll:
At least he quote of the day is new (how exciting is that?)
Wake up sleepy head and get to work!
I spent five minutes looking at the Me on Twitter…
Captain Jack, I still don’t get it… nothing is going on there.
Yes, I saw the picture of Marina flipping peace signs and
giving her camera smoochies… is that what it’s all about?
Whatever happened to “Hot For Words must investigate”??
Who is the demographic du jour Marina is pandering for?
Who are the Brain Police? :mrgreen:
Doug you know Marina takes off the weekends maybe where not getting a lesson if she doing a three day weekend!! :cry: :cry:
Hi Mountainboy,
Got an idea about how you can get a reply from Marina. Ask her how long she’s been on Skype and what she things of it. Maybe add a nice little compliment, nothing too fresh. :grin:
Budget – It’s just not my bag :mrgreen:
can someone go to YouTube and tell the peope that I am in detention and by them LOL I can’t do I can’t to it because I am at my friends house also marina now I’m on my iPod I can see the ad why is it there it’s so big I have an idea will talk when I get home xxxxx

A person can budget money. But the concept can also be applied to other things, like say….backpacking. People traditionally carried all that they could carry on backpacking trips, sometimes more than 40 pounds. (The military seems to think a 100 lbs. not too much, but they’re behind the times.) Then the concept of reducing weight in order to hike faster & and for a longer period during daylight hours, therefore farther. The challenge was to cut the weight of every article carried by half. It’s called minimalism, if I recall. They cut their toothbrushes in half. Backpacks have been developed to weight less than a pound, and even sleeping bags less than a pound. Nowadays, the hardcore backpacker can start a hike with less than 10 pounds of gear, and a few pounds of food and water purifying equipment, making their packs less that 15 pounds by carefully budgeting their carry weights.
I’m not on tight budget now but I’m glad I bought a digital camera last Sunday at best buy. I took some at home and some at the Chicago Blackhawks game last night! It was sweet1 I was in the suite! The view was great!
Sweet, you got in the suite for a “hawks” game. My daughter & hubby got into the “Best Buy” suite at a Canucks Game a couple of weeks ago. All you can eat catering too, not the regular arena food like hotdogs & hamburgers, but shrimp & salmon & stuff. On Best Buy’s tab too (He used to work there)
OK, who finishes with more points at the end of the season, Canucks or the Blackhawks?
I was right too, about “Matt Sundin”… Ryan Kesler is making him look OK but still he’s not worth the Money. Playoffs, He better pay off if he can just get over being tired looking. Sucks to get old, I know it… but I guess its better than the alternative… not getting old.
Thanks for the shared vid on you tube. BTW
no problem Billy B.
I like the pic. :cool: Finally got rid of your demented lobster picture.
ty, I was overdue. It’s time I show my true colors :cool:
The picture taken from video position 0:52, begs for an alternative speech bubble. What was on Marina’s mind? :wink:
Now I know what a leather, bodkin and thread was used to make. A bag to hide my dwindling baguette… or was that a bougette? What did a Cut-purse really snip off. Cashtration time! :shock:

Is Marina taking you to the Opera??
Not that I know of.
What do you know that I don’t know? :lol:
I know that you mentioned it before, and of course I would pay.
I’m the Phantom of the Opera. If you arrive late you better bring lots of courage! Bwaahaw!!!
I have a cast iron neck too so ha!ha!
Also as Phantom I’ve never had to pay to enjoy a night at the opera. So there. Bwwaaaha!ha!
Enjoy!

Hey GP, thanks for that video.
I saw the Phantom of the Opera several times at different venues when it premiered in LA and saw it with the original cast and then later with a different cast.
Oh… if she does, you gotta pay. It’s in the budget.
Nope, I haven’t been drinking :roll:
You are the only one with the link to the sexy geek thing, Is that thing working still? My votes… still can’t tell if they’re working, I think they aren’t.
Hey Billy, yes the voting link is still working.
In the last two days there have only been 10 votes, or 5 votes per day. Two of the votes are mine as I vote twice a day. I vote on my iPhone and my desktop. So, one of the other three votes must be yours.
Thank you for your continued voting Billy and hopefully others will participate. For everyone, you can still vote for Marina here:
http://wired.reddit.com/sexygeeks_2008/?s=top
or you can click on my name.
1111 is the difference right now… according to my budgeted calculation of the votes
Correct Billy, that is the difference between the Up votes and Down votes. The 10 votes I am referring to is the change in votes from one day to the next day. There are only about 5 votes tallied per day. Since I vote twice, that’s only 4 people voting per day right now.
I’ve been voting in IE & FF on a semi-regular bases.
Geesh Karl, you one of those AIG lynchers? :lol: *just joshing* (maybe)

~Intelligence is Sexy~
OK… Tonight I registered 2 ups for Marina & Two downs for Phil on two different IPs (with some other votes cast up & down, down the page afterwards. When I get home I will do one more up “M” & one down “phil”, before hitting the hay. Tommorow night when I get back in town I will do one more round on my home computer, but I won’t go to the shops.
Saturday AM I will do two rounds of votes @ the two work ones & then one more @ home on saturday night. You tell me if you notice a difference.
The reason I have my doubts is that I have voted on Jack’s blurby thing & it changes not.
Great Billy, I am recording the votes in my spreadsheet, so I’ll let you know tomorrow night.
I look forward to it.
You’re very welcome Sir!
God save the hic and his cup…George Jones – White Lightning…4 Cap911..HotForWords,TA…you better get Well

Does Bill Gates have a budget??? because I want to be cut in the budget. I like to teach the word if you know what I mean Marina!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :mrgreen:
Hefner had a playboy bunny stimulus package plan but sadly it was not passed through legistation, nor was Paris Hilton’s when she was running for president.
I could find out for you. I walked by his backyard(or frontyard? can’t tell for both are really nice) about 2 months ago. You should see the large outdoor artwork he has there!
I love how you have insider connections to the rich and famous CaptainJack. What’s the artwork like? Probably some huge elaborate gold and marble statue with naked twisted bodies swirling around in joyous celebration of erotic love making. :lol:
The reason I have such connections is I go out and make those connections. Mostly by accident though. I wasn’t even looking for his house. I was just trying to walk 20 miles and ended up passing his house. I stopped and thought about where I was at and concluded it was his house. I took a few photos of it to look up on the Internet to be sure. I haven’t done that yet but I’m about 99% sure for I have been by his places more times than I can count, via the water side by ship. That said I have not met him in person yet. Don’t really care to either. It’s a long story…
No there was just some welded metal panted up red. similar stuff you see at seattle’s outdoor sculpture museum. There where some other things but I have not looked at the photos yet.
Captain yes and ask Bill where my 25 mil is for the mountain landscape photo I sent him about five years ago. I still have not been payed well I am adding late fees.
how
It took 2 min from turning on my machine…not bad…A+
Yes I budget, unfortunately my income does not match my budget :lol:
:mrgreen: it’s time for some poetry
(my creative thinking class teacher told me so)
leather & thread is what you need
to make a pouch like johnny did for his apple seed
knit your leather and sew through your thread
and make a bag or bulga- not a hat for your head
it’s a soft skinned sack where you place your gold
with a weighty bulge in hand that you grasp and hold
etc.
I’m sure some stupid person would be surprised to learn that the word budget predates himself. Thank you so much, Marina, for helping to correct the misinformation that all those stupids out there tend to believe.
I really should budget my expenses, but I tend to wing it more.
Tried to download IE8 but it was taking 4ever so will try again latter :neutral:
My reply to Evan Owen finished up in the wrong place, sorry about that! It’s down a little bit.
I don’t like my picture lol :lol:
I would like to request the word [click] as in “3 clicks east” used in the military. really interested in the origin of this.
“Click” is Canadian for [kilometre]; possibly just some sort of contraction. :???:
1000 paces (roughly one kilometer). Part of the land navigation course was determining your pace count for a 100 meter stretch, that way you can convert your pace count to kilometers.
I would like to request the word :arrow: [Supernova] :lol:
Thank You
.
[bulgar] — any connection to “bulga”? :lol: (or is this a volga-r question?) :???:
Irish mythology refers to a people called the Fir Bolg, “bag men” (for their habit of carrying bags with them), who preceded the Milesian Celts. I suppose in Latin that would be something like “vir bulga,” pointing to the common roots of Latin and Celtic. :cool:
Owen how do you spell the Viking word for a toast, is it spelled ‘skol’.
I heard the Vikings would drink out of mugs made out of a human skull when they tap these mugs together they would say the Viking word for skull, which I think is spelled something like ‘skol’
I want to make a word request with this word.
Tks
Che
Do you really trust anything I’d come up with? :lol:
But seriously, I’m finding skÃ¥l as Norse, Swedish, Danish, and Icelandic for “cheers” — meaning “bowl,” apparently from a custom of drinking from small bowls. “Skalli” was Old Norse for “skull”; skalli, skÃ¥l, and skull look like they could all be related. “Skull” and “shell” come from the same root, making them one of the “sk-sh” pairs like “shirt” and “skirt,” “shabby” and “scabby,” etc.
Salud,
Evan
Oh yeah, since I seem to remember you doing something with Hebrew awhile back…”Calvary” is the Latin translation of “Golgotha,” both words meaning “skull.”
I want to know how do you spell it in English :???:
{Che extracts hockey puck out of Owen’s ear} :mrgreen:
Oh, uh…skoal? (Like the chewing tobacco?) :???:
Yes thanks, [skoal] the Viking [toast] from bowls made of human skulls.
Celtic bog people have been found preserved in peat bog. It has been considered a natural form of mummification. These people carried pouches with them and such while they travelled across the terrain.
Here is a vid on the Lindow bog man:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcWEdLUIX5U
Fir bog? :???:
Part of the preservation is due to the anoxic water of the bog: no oxygen, no decomposition.
If he was a sacrificial slave rather than a Druid, maybe he’d be a…slava bogu? :mrgreen: {ducks for cover as Marina and the other Russians start throwing things}
Fascinating stuff Evan. Apparently the Lindow man was preserved in a peat bog. Because the cavader’s stomach contained evidence of unleavened barley the examiners figure that the Lindow man was a Druid prince who became a willing sacrifice.
That’s an interesting point, Evan Owen. Bolg can also mean stomach or belly in Irish Gaelic. Often wondered how people could have big bellies, when survival would have been a daily struggle, with no fast food and so on. So bag sounds more likely. Your comments are always interesting.
Why, thank you. I seem to remember an old Welsh proverb to the effect that “The truth is an excellent departure point for flights of fancy!” :lol:

A buddy sent me an email containing a story of [ Ship High In Transit ] . Can you find the origin of the phrase please ? Another friend of mine was in the Canadian Armed Forces and always said the best kept secret of the Cold War was beautiful Russian women . He must have been in Intelligence . Beauty and intelligence ; you have both , very nice . Thx and keep up the great work . Don from the Great White North .
“Ship High In Transit” was a joke story about the origin of the word “shit” as an acronym (S.H.I.T.)
People who make up and spread such stories are grossly irresponsible and undermine the scholarly work of us serious philologists. :mad:
( :lol: )
I asked Marina , not you . Crawl back into your hole . Dick head .
Trust me, she’s not going to waste a second on a tired, lame old joke like yours, so my reply is all you’re going to get. From your response, I see it’s more than you deserved. :evil:
Oops…the zinc lozenges I’ve been taking are doing the talking. A side effect is that they raise testosterone levels. :twisted:
Well, having someone tell you “Crawl back into your hole, Dick head”, is quite a natural way to raise one’s testosterone level. No zinc lozenges needed here!
Your self-control is admirable, Evan. I myself would just pinch this bum with the claymore! :grin:
As I am guessing you are new here. Don’t come here and then give people mouth. It’s not good.
Well, Marina definitely let the “secret” of beautiful Russian women “out of the bag.” :grin:
BTW, Marina, loved that visual pun of the Frenchman and his baguettes. :lol:

Good job MARINA….! I have my reasons’.
Thanks, Marina. That was new to me.
Always.
Oh yeah, I’ve been unemployed for a long stretch here recently (like a lot of folks these days), so 9 times out of 10 I only purchase what’s needed. Meaning toiletries, food, pet supplies (for my 2 feline kids), gas, etc. After a while you get used to pinching pennies, just don’t give up on job-hunting :!:
As for how I spell Republicans, G-R-E-E-D-Y, or E-L-I-T-I-S-T.
Phrase request [penny pinching], maybe the kids can relate to that?
A lot of the time, Republican is spelled, E-M-P-L-O-Y-E-R
What about Democrats? How would you spell them?
I spell Democrats like this: F-A-L-S-E H-O-P-E.
Personally, I don’t take sides with either one of the two most powerful political parties in America. I only mentioned on the Republicans because someone else brought them up earlier in the comments section.
I suppose this means [naive] is spelled b-i-g e-d. Guy tries to blame his problems on one political party, lol. And, personal political persuasions aside, who strikes you more as an elitist, Barack Obama or George Bush?
Obe’s one of the biggest snobs there is — not that this is a bad thing. Obe and Dub, (I’m [lukewarm] on both, therefore I think I’m uniquely positioned to be a fair arbiter here) just like most national politicians, are all of elite backgrounds. But, if you’re intent on demonizing one party, then you may claim that Republicans are greedy by virtue of them wanting people to keep more of their own money. The flip side is, this means that Democrats (sometimes spelled [D-E-M-A-G-O-G-U-E]) are. . . DUM DUM DUM…GREEDY for wanting to take more of your money and wasting it on things you would never spend it on.
So, the only logical conclusion is to figure out a way for yourself to become productive.

On “dumbing things down” — a dangerous notion:
Working on words that happen to be repeated often at present (e.g., bonus or budget) or words that are of interest to the young (e.g., exam or prom) does not constitute an act of “dumbing things down”.
Targeting a young audience is different from targeting an audience one considers stupid.
The act of “dumbing things down” occurs when one considers one’s audience to be stupid. Some parents bring up their babies while talking to them in proper English (or whatever their language happens to be). They would use simple words, simple sentence structure, simple thoughts, speak slowly etc. — but they would be speaking grammatically correctly and intelligibly.
In contrast, parents who talk baby-talk to their babies are engaged in an act of “dumbing things down”.
There are people in different walks of life (e.g., fiction and non-fiction writers, doctors, mechanics, politicians etc.) who subscribe to the notion that one needs to “dumb things down” when dealing with the public — and they all end up damaging themselves. When using one’s mind, it is important to always use it to the highest of one’s standards — to the utmost clarity/rationality; but in order to “dumb things down” one must project an inferior, evasive mind and attempt to function as it does — such an usage will eventually result in one’s own mind becoming inferior and evasive.

I was responding to chevolay on Twitter with the dumb down comment. I don’t think this video is an example of a dumbed down video.. but YouTube is making it such that the dumber the video the more popular it will be.
so you have to dumpup your videos, not dumbdown! :D
Well get you some red neck teeth, put a ball cap on sideways, dot on some pimples on your pretty face and put some gum in your mouth like it was a wad of chewtabaky and a red flannel shirt open pretty far down the front, but not to far iffen you know what I mean let your drawers sag till they almost fall offen your rump and then give the next lesson. Then see how many new recruits you draw in. You might be surprised. :lol:
Wow! you sure can paint a perdy image with words :mrgreen:
{Che runs down to the basement to see if capman has discovered the girl he keeps locked up } :mrgreen:
Miss Cupcake is ahead of the curve :mrgreen:
Some general observations regarding “Then see how many new recruits you draw in. You might be surprised.”:
When one demeans oneself in an attempt to garner fans, the only “fans” one attracts are hanger-ons who hate the good and who have come to watch a spectacle of the good debasing itself. Not only does one not get fans, one ends up destroying one’s own spirit. Note the remark from Miss Cupcake in her description for the video which ChaCha cites (in 27.1.2.2 above): “anything to make people laugh. even if i make myself look awful” — this is extremely bad (and I am expressing my opinion mildly here). In today’s society, there are those who attempt to propagate the view that it is good to laugh at oneself — I consider those people evil and consider the act of laughing at oneself suicidal.

You killjoy. I laugh at myself loud and often — because I am SOOO witty and clever! Often so much so, that no one else is intelligent enough to get my jokes! And I’m very much alive! {dies laughing} :mrgreen:

Do what you have done, and get what you have always got. If you try and make your videos appeal to young people be prepared for more comments about having sex with you.
Also if I ever see you do the origin of the word bong, and talk about sex at the same time, I will drop you quicker than you can blink ! :lol:
Don’t change Marina… Pleasssssssse.
Think about it ( I know I am a teenager, but I am different)
What is it most teenagers are interested in? Sex, Cigarettes, and alcohol.
I really don’t think a lot of them would give a crap about the word.
I know a few years ago. When all I did was get drunk and stoned and hang out til past midnight, I wouldn’t have given a crap.
But, still that’s what alot of us kids do…. Moving to a place full of old people killed all that for me.
Regarding “… what alot {sic} of us kids do {is get drunk and stoned and hang out till past midnight}” — I doubt if the majority of teenagers are like that. It is just the media — the movies, stories etc. of today’s culture — that puts forth the view that that is what teenagers are supposed to be like; only a few teenagers are actually like that.

Marina,
……Your question, when forced too I can wing it better than 99.9% of people that budget.
See that’s how you pronounce the name stÅkesjrj1
Bye
John
OK. One can’t sell exquisite goods by locating one’s shop in a [red-light district] {for maxim?}.
(Oops — need to clarify 27.1.6: The sentence there is just a general remark; I am _not_ saying it is time to quit YT.)

uh. what’s a man-purse?
Read my comment on 18.1.1
some concept…
Dear Marina,
To “wing it” means to improvise or ad-lib something. Instaed of preparing a speech or a teaching lesson, you might just talk about definition of a word or phrase. In music, to “wing it” means to play free-lance music without a rehearsal. For instance, I once had lots of fun playing boogie-woogie music on a guitar, instead of a piano. :smile:
As for spendng money, I never ”wing it.” That is, I never go out and just spend money on “stuff.” :shock: When I go shopping, I write a shopping list so I won’t forget to buy stuff I need. When items are on sale at a cheap price, I will “stck up” if it’s something I will consume, like paper towels, Kleenex, TP, or underwear. I budgeted and saved up to buy my 2007 Chevrolet Aveo, and didn’t buy a Cadillac or a Porsche. I try not to be extravagant, but I have 14 pairs of shoes, so I think I will wear them out within my lifetime! :grin:
A budget is defined as a plan for spending money. Make a habit of spending less than you earn and you are bidgeting well! By budgeting well and saving my money, perhaps I can treat you to a meal at the Blu Jam Cafe, someday! :razz:

You don’t have a [wing and a prayer]!
Dear HotForWords,
My budget? ehh…
Your Student,
ThoughtOnFire
Homework: Yes, absolutely!
I’ve heard one way to to do it is to have envelopes to put your money in for each anticipated cost; mortgage, food, car, gas, insurance, etc. and to save whatever is left.
Once you get the discipline of doing that, you can see how your income is spread across your bills. Then, you can learn to do the same process without using the envelopes anymore. :mrgreen:
I’m a little piqued about knowing that money I had saved will be eaten up by taxes. When the Republicans are in power, I usually get back a 3-4 figure number. When the Democrats are in, I have to pay a 4 figure number.
“Democrats piss me off” – Eric Cartman :grin:
Well, as long as you and Cartman both agree, then I must surely be confused. :???:
{Somebody begins to scrounge through the desk drawer, looking for that blasted voter registration form…}
BTW, how do you spell re-pub-likken? :roll:
I don’t know… re-pub-lycan? :-)
(long-shot reference to lycanthrope)
Cool word Chemikal, thanks for pointing out the connection. :smile:
No budget here.
I just live as I deem fit.
I spend the same if I work or don’t work.
I don’t live high or low just comfortable.
Somehow the money pot holds and slowly grows.
As for business, I budget all the time and do variance anaysis revisions and outlooks.
100 years from now we will all be in a box in the ground and few will even know we existed. 1000 years some bone may exist and nobody will know where it came from. Budget is a planning tool, not a life tool.
Home work: With a family you almost have to budget. With two paychecks coming in at separate times you have to keep tabs on where the money goes and for what you spend it on. As a single mother as yourself Marina I would imagine you have to budget your earnings also so Gorby doesn’t run low on Gorby snacks or toys. :lol:
On the other matter of YT we are behind you 100% and will help out any way we can. Just let us know how we can help. :smile:
I take good advantage of the “keep it simple” lifestyle so that my budget… is “so-simpler!?” :smile:
Hey M, here is a nerd term for you that I received from Bob via twitter. [tourinauts] Would be a good word for the Russian launch this morning.
LOL I have a Man Purse!!! hahahahahah Oh I shouldn’t admit to that! LOllllllol. :lol: :mrgreen:
I don’t think I would have told that one. :razz: :razz: Unless you carried a concealed hand gun in it of course. They come in pretty handy for small cameras and cell phones and the like. I have been looking for one to carry my boy toys in, but most of them around here are to feminine looking. I think I will shop on line for one. :grin:
This is similar to what I have. http://the-gadgeteer.com/2005/08/17/waterfield_medium_cargo_bag
You know I should look into this one. I like the handles. Mine doesn’t have them and many times I wish it did.
Yeah that is a nice bag, not to big and not to small. Just the right size.
A briefcase is the way to go.
According to Archbishop Desmond Tutu “A briefcase gives a man authority. When I carry a briefcase I am important. Without it I’m just a nigger in a frock.”
I couldn’t get all my toys in a man-purse; I need a Pilot’s Flight Bag.
Oh btw, glad to see you back. You feeling better yet? That must have been a grueling 3 weeks hu?
Yeah it was. I fell 100% better. I just got back from the Cub Cadet store picking up some tune up parts for my lawn tractor. It’s that time of the year again.
Well you got most of us started using a luffa so why not a man purse.lol
Update on the Luffa usage. So I use this product from Unilever called Axe shower gel. You might have seen the commercials of this product. So now they sell a bottle with a MANLY Luffa. One side it’s the soft part and on the other side is a scrubber side. It looks like someone took a block of plastic and melted it on the luffa. I guess it give it the MANLY look. Now they have this new attachment for the jel. It’s a black pad with suction cups on it. The idea is you put the suction cups on the shower wall and attach the shower gel bottle. Kind of cool for when the wife or kids have all their crap using every vertical space in the tub.
I wonder how far I can go before I feel my manlyness is threaten? << yes, new word, manlyness.
Wot? Huh? WTF? Budget the expenses?
NEVER! ¡PARDIEZ! OVER MY DEAD BODY!
I just bail’em out! Kick their sorry arses away! Pfuit! Magic! Make’em disappear! Bottom line! End of it!
Great lesson. Stop skinning my relatives to balance your bougettes! Ok, clearly it is time to do [wallet] as a follow-up. :grin:
Homework: I budget. I just keep simple notes in my note book I carry with me everywhere. My idea is keep it simple and you’ll find it easier to follow.
With my job I never know what my next check will be. It’s a crap shoot now. Now with economy the way it is, I’m a afraid to spend a dime on any fun activities or new toys.
Why does the new channel say dont go to my website..?? Love the new layout… Loved this lesson 2
Umm.. so that they go to my website?
Some people might take that as warning, perhaps it has a virus, but yeah, I know what you mean know. Sorry I was having a blonde moment!
Mari, why does your nickname link back to your website?
I think, since I’m already here, it could link me to your youtube channel instead.
Cleaver never ending cycle of come here, go there, rate me, comment, subscribe and get me some tea while you’re at it. :-)
(I’m not making you do it!)
It’s reverse psychology for the teenagers, tell them not to do something and they will do it being the rebellious lot they are.
{ M’s sense of humor is subtle but effective } :smile:
She should tell them not to go to her web site if they are easily offended. That should do the trick. :grin:
Where does it say that? I keep looking, but cannot find it. :???:
Is that a purse in your pants or are you just glad to see me :mrgreen:
I budget, the formula of spend less money than i take in/earn unless forced to do otherwise by forces beyond my control.
Oh! I’ve been on the other page
Nice vid. Good lesson. A very timely piece, and informative. BZ! :grin:
Mrs. Somebody takes care of the budgeting. I do not care that much about finance and stuff. It is so easy to get in debt these days, that I defer to her judgment.
Am i Late?
Yes. Marina told me to give you a demerit chit. Sorry, I just have to do what I’m told. :)
I’ve been stuck in detention for going on 7 months now and now James is going to be stuck in here too. Oh well whats 1 more demerit when you didn’t sign up to get demerits in the first place.
Somebody at YT has chit for brains.
Good one pal good one. :lol:
Kinks – Low Budget
And my answer is: Taco sauce!
I’m first! I win!!!!
I just made some really hot taco sauce.
I don’t know if you or Marina knows this but some hot sauces and other spices can give you the hiccups. What’s funny is the same damn thing can cure you.
WOW I HAVE TO STAY FOR DETENTION!!! THANKYOU!! I am seeing a friend tomorrow and saturday but on sunday, I will be here for a full day of hard work.
But Marina, why do I have to stay for detention?
For making me remove paged comments and as a result my website slowed down :-)
Well, I and che still think it was strangely faster, and I liked it that way. But really if it means detention, I must say I think it would be a good idea right now…. to….. urm….. remove all the links. … :???: because… :???: the are …..DISTRACTING and… urm… link-like.
Detention x2 for James..!
Hey and what happened to teh Edit button?
I dropped it on the floor and it broke. Sorry :oops: I have a new one on order from Wal-Mart’s 5 for Dime box.
Who can dictate what you do on your website?
or do you mean your YT channel?
“For making me…” hummm interesting…….vieeary intaresting.
Teachers pet, and in detention. Oh well, we all misbehave sometimes.
This is an [outrage].
After repeatedly having my raised-hand ignored, homework ditched (including my epic limerick, which was a timely requested suggestion submitted well before St. Patrick’s Day that too went ignored, with the supposed and convenient disappearance of the Annotations lesson)–and even after momentary dabbling in flattery & praise, as sincere as it may have been and may still be, failed before them–I turned to challenging our teacher and questioning her conceptional ability (namely on the issue of one school of thought on the meaning of friendiligence, where she badly misinterpreted the meaning), and at one point even stated I’d be the first to get a detention because of my hardline questioning of her authority.
Now, now, that idea gets employed in quick order, only look who gets the detention — the brownnosing apple-polisher! That’ sthe last person who would ever get one.
I see you working, Marina. This is akin to the hot girl at my gym who desperately goes out of her way to seem as if she doesn’t even know I exist…HA! That level of contrived avoidance can mean only one thing.
So I may not get called on. So my homework gets trashed. So my push to be the first to receive detention has failed. But, I swear, if I somehow escape this tongue-lashing without so much as being slapped with a demerit, which I think would be a first here too, well then the teacher has admitted her crush in her indefensible and gross negligence!
:cool:
Hang on!!! Don’t slate me! :mad:
Brown Nose! I can’t believe that! I charm people, I even charmed a part time midwife when I was a baby, and I am really good looking :lol:
I didn’t charm Marina, and I am certainly not using her to make my way up in things. Marina, incase you don’t know has helped and guided me through problems of YouTube whenever I need it. I had my first ever video featured on here 2 days after I joined, I had never (and that’s the same now)felt so welcome anywhere before. I didn’t seek out Marina as a ladder to use so I could make success out. OK now i’m trying to get partnership, but when my first video was around, I didn’t even know what it was! I will always be thankful to Marina to all the support she has given and gives me & as I have said before any success I do have is half because of her. So I am not a brown nose at all.!
lol, is this a satire piece?
one man’s brown nosing is another’s “charm” :mrgreen:
How do you mean?
heh, no bro, I’m just messing with you. (I’m generally always satirical.)
But I should still be feeling the lashings of multiple [demerits].
paged comments will be back. in about eight months or so. the edit thingie, too. we’ll start bitching again and she’ll eventually remove that crap.:)
James in detention! Wonder if Marina is going to whack him with a ruler, switch or frat paddle and what position she has him assume? Lets see, over her lap or bending over.
P.S. Marina, please post the video.
P.S.S. James don’t forget to say “Please Ma’am, may I have another.” and no cheating with a protected bottom.
Whoa…Robert Duvall’s a fellow student at this prestigious institute. Awesome.
Wait a Second?
times up!
3rd
4th
LOL!! how did that happen!?!?
:mrgreen: Hi Captain Jack! :lol:
Hi! Yeah it was funny that I said 3rd and got 4th post and you said 4th and got 3rd post. LOL!
Homework :cool:
If I’m low on cash I’m on a budget, but if I have a little extra I wing it! :wink:
That’s what I call ‘Mad Money’ One has to be mad to spend it. usually I am mad. Mmmmuuuuahhhh :twisted:
Thanks foxbow for telling me this
2nd!
Where’s foxbow, James?…
He told me on MSN
Foxbow is commenting on YouTube. I seen his comment to HFW just yesterday.
Told you what? How to make sweet little cookies? :smile:
Good job
I’m like cheap but, did you say wing it?
Yes.. wing it. (I wonder where that phrase comes from?)
James will make a video request soon.
[wing it]…from lever like crow? as in crow-bar? or Like a winged horse?…thankyou for all the great effORts… :smile: [bud]+[bulge]=[bullock]
[Wing it] theatrical slang. I used it in theater practice. Then there is [fly by the seat of your pants]. Which I have done and it is still teach that way when learning to fly. Oh and [off the hip]. Oh what’s the one I use in class?
I have never heard it in theatre.. Or have I ? I might have actually… I can’t remember. This reply is pointless :grin:
You were shooting from the hip.
