REM Sleep

Thank you (there IS a God!) :mrgreen:

Finally! The Angel Costume! Great vid, dear!

Wow; sleep with me…at U-tube…happy day —420

:shock: Good too, that you believe in GOD :smile:

after long hours of pushing myself as far as i can go, fatigued, thirsty, back aching, i collapse face down, in a text book.

Nice dream sequence :)

Meanwhile, after clicking on the “rest of my dream sequence” link, I discovered what that bottle was next to you – a product endorsement…

HW: nothing to it: I just lie down, cover myself, and am asleep shortly!

sleep.. :razz: .smoke..*****+10Asleep at the Wheel-Hot Rod Lincolnlet it all be fun…bless you MARINA :smile:

Hi Marina I ,ove ur videos!
I would like to request the word [noob]
I hope you can make a video about it

I live an honest life.
I simply roll over and I’m out (and there you are).

…block out all distractions…let go of all inhibitions…release all tension…
I’m hearing soft bells and seeing vivid colors, where am I? In Twitterheaven :?: :lol:

Wow, I thought I just had a dream.
I thought I saw an angel. I did, I did see an angel. :grin:
Excellent video lesson.

Does this mean next years calander will be titled Marina CAN sleep?

Does Gorby have a SAG union card?

 
As leonard said below;

               Happy 420 Day!

Dear Marina,
I hope the temperature has gone down so that you sleep comfortably, tonight. I hope you sleep well.
I dream about you often, and they are good because you are as nice in my dreams as you are in your videos. You are happy and cheerful and you laugh at my jokes. My dreams with you have had abrupt endings. Just at the moment we are about to kiss, I get yanked away from my dream and I wake up in my own bwd, alone. I guess the lesson from these dreams are that I get to see, hear and even smell you, but I don’t get to touch! :???:
I plan to keep dreaming about you until we can do more nice things, together. :razz:

Somebody pinch me :wink:

A couple of months ago, I saw an article on Yahoo that talked about ten ways of falling asleep. One of the things it mentioned is that if you have trouble falling asleep, is to place a pinch of salt on the tip of the tongue, a method that will allow you to fall asleep within 15 minutes. The theory is that the salt produces an electrical stimulus to the brain which assists with helping the brain shut down.

I haven’t been able to find the original article, but here is what looks like a similar article referencing a book by an M.D.

It’s Hot here too. 104 degrees F

dude, do you realize you just shared that bit with the rest of us?

Well, you know there’s that band REM and how they got their name. They hadn’t decided on a name for their band and so each person wrote down a name on a sticky note, words like “everglade” “mantic” “skewbald” and a bunch of other words which they placed on their refrigerator and every morning they’d take down a sticky note until the only word left was “REM” and so they named their band that :!:

 
Consider this, but that was just a dream
and you know somebody
was going to post this REM link, and no
that is not me in the corner. :lol:

Don’t know about r.e.m.sleep, but I’d give anything to be able to sleep more than 4 hours at a time! That pinch of salt sounds like a good idea. If it’s 100 degrees, I don’t think anybody could sleep without a/c. Cheers!

:cool: Cool tune Karl

Oh kewl, we posted at the same time. I just clicked Submit 3 minutes after you.

100 degrees in LA, just saying, if ever there was a time to sleep in the nude :lol:

[good] [God]

Shh, dont’ burst his bubble :mrgreen:

 
This is the old gravatar from last year and it just took effect.
That REM is not what you think it stands for unless
you have eyes that see. :lol:

I “do the hot tub” about 30 minutes before bed. Works every time.

What a SMART, SMART, SMART woman Marina is!

She has created a really cool and appealing [Brand] for herself…heard the term mentioned in the POSH lesson…

I know she has lots and lots of Students all over the world.

Does anyone know or would there be any way of finding out what the [Demographics] of her existing audience are?

These are the kinds of things I think about in R.E.M. sleep – sad isn’t it? :roll:

That’s a great song!

yeah, better let sleeping dogs lie

I’ve always wondered where the REM guy went, turns out you’ve been here all along.
“Hey, I know that dude.” :smile:

Neuro- water?
I couldn’t find any data at the site to tell me
what’s in it, or what it tastes like.
The packaging and marketing looks expensive.
I guess women would buy it, just for the bottle!
(wink-wink-nod-nod-know-what-I-mean? ;)
Things were a lot simpler in the good old days.
At least you knew what you were paying for.
Even the advertising was funnier!

OK, so I wanted to find out about the bottle in the video lesson.
I went to Google to search “neuro sleep drink”.
The 11th search result is the video above on YouTube. :grin:

But, when I search “neuro-sleep drink” (notice the added dash),
the video above on YouTube is number 6 on the list. :cool:
Huh, Scratching head?

In the “olden days”, say way back in early Egypt, they used to cook lettuce… let it cool and drink it… to put them to sleep. :mrgreen:

Then there was that jittery rabbit in Alice in Wonderland… who drank Chamomile tea to calm down… which also helps to go to sleep. :grin:

Then there was Cheech and Chong who smoked grass to go to sleep… and they also did this after they woke up… a wake and bake! :shock:

The one Freebird uses is a look back at a single tree in a peaceful valley and Freebird is sitting under it. There is an open book on his crossed legs with white light and doves flying out of it… holding on to this visual eventually puts him to sleep. :cool:

REM’s Orange Crush

You really sleep with your feet outside the covers? I would not be able to sleep that way — the temperature difference between my feet and the rest of my body and difference of the weight bearing down on my feet and on the rest of my body would keep me awake!

I knew a guy in college who kept a bottle of chloroform in his room — his method of falling asleep was to take a whiff of chloroform and become unconscious.

An asp in the grass – is a snake, but
a grasp in the ass – is a goose?
.
If you strangle a smurf, what color does it turn? :mrgreen:

My favorite way to go to sleep is to put my head down on the pillow. It works instantly.

I normally drift into sleep quickly. Slipping into an irregular sleep pattern or burning the midnight oil, can be occasionally problematic. The inner clock gets messed up and sleep can lose some of its value. Getting back into the proper cycle can be a nightmare. I get around it by forcing myself to skip sleep, and face bouts of practically narcoleptic sleep during the day.

Go ask Alice :mrgreen:

Thats it! My little sony laptop is so full of stuff it won’t even play a video over 58 flippin’ seconds long! I can’t take it anymore! My c drive says it has 357mb of space left. :shock:
Welp, I’m out of excuses. Its off to the Apple store this week to pick up a nice and shinny new iMac 24″.
I hear if you take your laptop into the store one of the folks there can move everything I want to keep to the new unit. True?
Does anybody know how I can get a student discount without being a student? :wink: I’d be crazy to not at least try to save a few hundred bucks, right? :mrgreen:

http://www.alexa.com can display info about hotforword.com traffic etc

I still love Daydreaming in class… anyone else?
BTW I follow SlashHudson… lucky Bastard (in the good sense of the term), he got to go the the Long Beach Grand Prix. I’ve been once, what a weekend… was a dream come true.

Marina, so neurogasm.com company must be a new company since their URL did not come up in my search, but your video did.

AND, guess what??? My comment above is now in the #3 spot for this search words; neuro-sleep drink.

Very interesting.

Hi ChaCha, when you click on one of the products, look to the right of the product, there is a box area that talks about the drink. Then above that box area are three menus; Function, Ingredients, Nutrition

order you imac online at apple<, you will save more money. go to the bottom of the page, right hand corner see choose, select u.s. education, then select zip code, state, whatever and the closest institution then lie.

Enter Sandman :mrgreen:
“…gripping your pillow tight”

Or a goose getting a stuffing LOL! Good one! : :lol:

A strangled Smurf goes dark blue. :mrgreen:

They just get bluer?? :roll:

Sorry, I was head banging vigorously with my air guitar, and then my head rolled off all over the keyboard. :mrgreen:

Thanks! :grin:
I missed that…
Pssst! Does Marina have that look on her face (in the still shot)
because of the toes next to her nose?
… or is she [pondering] the bottle?

Just shut my eyes and be still for a few minutes and the next thing I usually know is Im waking up. Time seems to move rapidly when Im asleep although I am not aware of it.

totally forgot about that vid! great link billy!

Do you Clutch the book when you fall asleep?

Yup, new company, launch party Feb 18, 2009.
You’d think their SEO stuff would have them come up all over the place for my searches.

Recommend adding neurogasm and their products like neurobliss, bliss etc to your tags.

Thanks Koala! I had no idea alexa.com existed…but I’m a little behind the times…

I’m lookin’ at what they have there.

BTW – that’s a really cute Gravitar..are you an Aussie per chance?

XD yeah but by then my head is filled with sweet dreams.

Is the Apple TV a way to watch TV on your Mac?

Dead Letter Office is their best CD; in my meaningless opinion. I liked them much better when they were a small band out of Athens before they started doing stadium tours, and getting all preachy.

I have chronic insomnia, and rarely go to sleep right off. I usually lay there in bed and just try not to think about stuff.

Marina,
are you going to do a video lesson once a month in the outfit from that month’s calender?

no, it allows you to access movies and stuff online or from your mac and watch them on your expensive big ass t.v. watch this link or read this one.

Wonderful lesson, Marina. Loved The Flying Gorby, and you are one heck of an angel!
(At first I thought the bottle was a “sleep aid”.)

Always.

Lately, my head hits the pillow pondering on my design for a small prefab cabin, made from 2×6′s and plywood, roughly in the shape of half a hexagonal. The top of the roof would be flat where I’d build a hot house, but I don’t get all that far with the design. Usually, I frame the cabin and then apply the plywood to the frame, ruminate about about the “whats” and “whereabouts” of the ladder to the roof. By that time, I drift off to sleep, perchance to dream of a certain Russian blonde.

I just sleep however I find comfortable. Whether straight on my back or curled up on my right side. But hardly on my stomach.

oh yeah, if you don’t mind buying refurbished tech then check out macs special deals here. make sure you compare options and final pricing to make sure your getting a good buy.

Yep, an aussie.

Here is another URL that is a bit easier to use.
http://www.quantcast.com/hotforwords.com

Tks, I understand now :smile:

I understand RHM can make you fall asleep easier. :oops:

Last night I had a dream about your twin sister :oops:

I know what kind of dream I’m going to have tonight. :razz: :razz:

Combine 420 and food. Sleep is inevitable :mrgreen:

Thanks so much again! :smile:

Hi Marina,… happy 420!! :cool:

What’s with that Neuro Sleep bottle shown in your video… is it like “the antidote” to a can of Red Bull or Jolt? :smile: Please explain!

Dear Marina

Please, I like a video about the [epistemology] word, I love the philosophy but I don’t understand this topic.

Best regards from Chetumal (near to cancun ) in México

I’m back :twisted: …R.E.M. Green Warner Bros Presentation (Part 1 Live 13/10/88)…all [farmed out]…gambling with (+) 4 seasons…meaning to Green…GOD BLEss :razz:

Think it’s product placement, maybe YT ask her to it there :???:

:arrow: 2#’s of white turkey meat…now I sleep… :???:

As it goes, in NATURE there are mostly 2 kind of animals, predators and pray.
The sad fact of life is that in order to survive, life MUST take LIFE!! :sad:
So as the world revolves, times of light and shadow dominates the planet.
To make things more interesting, predators wander around hunting for pray at night , when the creatures are at their most vulnerable moment.
Because theyre are not so well adapted to see in the dark, They must pass as,invisible as they may, becoming unmoving, slowing down breading patterns , and lowering body temperature , to produce less noise and sent.
BUT THEY NEED TO BE ALERT!!!!
Normal sleep is just that: waiting to light to come back, but we do not rest as we are in this state of inmovility and frantic , despair.
We may be as alert as anybody awake, awaking at the slightest noise in the room, answering at a question asked to us quite immediately…
So, the question is , when DO we rest?
In between this 8 hours of laziness, there are few moments , too precious to be left unnoticed.
This are the moments were all posible house cleaning by the brain( on a computer you may call it defragging, :wink: ),and all toxins and pollutants are take care off.Endorphins are released( same as you laugh , have sex, or sports), and all this MUST be done, as We are at our MOST BULNERABLE MOMENT!!!!!
If we get awaken, we cannot run, or talk, or defend our self….
That’s way is SO important for us to be SECURED.
WE will NOT have REM, as we are disturbed by noise and light!!!!
The most efficient way to get your rest is…
Isolate yourself from it……
Dark room( or as Marina does it , with a eye protector),ear plugs, or cotton,and if you can sleep alone( other people in your bed may distract you!!! :wink: ).
Hope it may help!!!

Yay, finally a lesson where I knew the material before I watched it.

I like to fall asleep listening to music. Preferably something soft, but nothing by R.E.M. LOL

“It’s the end of the world as we know it…and I’m losing my religion” DOUBLELOL

:smile: wish i had a steam ro(LLER)om…420 joke; and Rome is not fully ([SACK]ed) :???: 410 began in what year? :lol:

:smile: Short clip of REM starting to perform with Dan Rather “helping” with the singing. …eating too much food that my friends brought over; generals with pipes …..sleep is the cure for colds caused by work-stress…steam-roller blues…Elvis Presley – :eek: Steamroller Blues
:razz:

:wink: Elvis Presley – That’s Alright Mama…this should cream your pants :lol:

:cool: Cool band… :smile: ANGEL ‘THE TOWER’ PROMO…I interviewed this band in the 1(7)970′s…Angel was with the same team as Kiss :oops:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd9VwVPEhnQ :lol:

:cool: yes it is :razz:

This might be the best video you’ve had yet, Marina. I’m a little surprised you haven’t done it before now. Definitely an A+ for the use of the angel costume and nice appearance by Gorby. You should get several hits on YouTube from the title alone.

P.S. You may need to go into the details of “tweetiquette” now that it has been violated.

:oops: Hoyt Axton, Snowblind Friend 1977 :roll: ***The legendary Band Steppenwolf plays “Pusher” live.….hoyt A. wrote the pusher..Rick Pearce, Easter Sunday, 1957…looking for the sleep-aid ad…oh well…GOOD JOB teacher and head-master—Marina :smile:

This video is not available in your country.

I hope it wasn’t this Sweet Dreams ‘is more of a nightmare. :eek:

no it was sweet dreams by the eurythmics. same lyrics different attitude. if i ever get to bed tonight it’ll be a different story

until then i got to stay up and study.

Interesting interview, take the time. After all Alice Cooper Hates Golf
.

Didn’t xpect u 2 b up (bad twitter habit)

2am, just me and physics… ugh.

ROFL!

I’ll bug out, going home late anyways. I used to love late night work, but now I suffer for a couple of days after. Cranberries song just ended too, Thanks.

i saw alice cooper in concert. he’s an interesting dude. thing is he doesn’t take his performance seriously whereas marilyn manson does.

nite billy.

“4.1.1.2.4″ Oops tired LOL

Well, I hate to laugh at another’s misfortune, but that’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks! Thanks, Buzz.

my favorite way to fall asleep is happy :grin:

yo, smokey. so are you happy?

I’m taking a course on liinguistics and the subject came up of the article [a]; and since no one in the class is a native English speaker we need somebody to settle this for us:
When do you pronounce the word /a/ and when is it /ei/? Does it have to do with the word it is modifying (i.e. it changes depending of the lenght or the sound of the word), a certain emphasis the speaker wants to give (and in that case, is it to emphasize the singleness of the modified word or what?), or is it just a regional thing?

I know this is a bit too technical for the show, but I thought that if somebody could help us out it would be you.
Thanks!

did you go over here

I mostly turn on to Dance Factory that helps me go to sleep especially when I’m ready to myself in for the night. I also listen to dance factory wherever I drive at night.

As long as “Dance Factory” doesn’t help you sleep while driving at night, all should be well :shock:
One more game for the “nucks” & we wait for the “hawks” eh

An effectively disturbing bedding ad… “Where even nightmares come to rest”

I never fall asleep when I drive. It looks like the Canucks are going to the semis. My sister and my 2 cousins hoped it’s Vancouver vs. Chicago. In case you ask me about the dance factory is that they play nothing but dance songs. It’s on either 92.5,92.7 or 99.9 F.M. in Chicago. Sunday -Friday it’s on from 9 p.m.-5a.m. and on Saturday 8p.m-5.a.m. I was bummed that the Cubs game got washed out yesterday. I’ve never been to any games that are postponed.

[disaster]

I am so impressed, ChaCHa. Playing a rebel song. :grin:

If that was just a dream, then I’m the Man on the Moon. :lol:

I seem to get by best sleep when I fall asleep accidentally, on the couch or in a recliner. (Recliner? I don’t even have one anymore. :roll: ) I can sleep for about 20-30 min that way and feel fully refreshed. I’ll get another 10 hours of productivity from that. :grin:

The best way to fall asleep is [entwined] in the limbs of a beautiful woman (or two), and it’s also the best way to wake up.

Rebel song? Rebel against who?
“Follow me – don’t follow me
I’ve got got my pride
I’ve got my Orange Crush” :grin:
Is that some sort of super-secret rebel code?
What about …
“All generations got old
all generations got soul
Be a Volunteer of America”
(Got to Revolution)
Now THAT’S a Rebel song! :mrgreen:

“Orange Crush” is Agent Orange. You did know that, yes? :???:

I will often fall asleep with a red head and wake up with a different red head and a blond. :cool:

Amen to THAT! :grin:
The only time we saw her wear the
school girl skirt was for Bad Grammar video :mrgreen:

It’s the dawn of a new day,
and I’ll say the prayer of yesterday…
Please let today have a new lesson from Marina
I do so love to learn about word and phrase origins.
Amen
(it makes my morning coffee taste better) :mrgreen:

Amen

Nope. Orange Crush is a soda pop.
Agent Orange is a herbicide with neurological
effects (so it IS a super-secret code!)
Why would he be singing about agent orange?
That’s what rebels sing about?? :roll:
“And the times, they are a changin’”

Did you really mean blond or should that be blonde?
Or did you mean a beer?

Follow me, don’t follow me
I’ve got my spine, I’ve got my orange crush
Collar me, don’t collar me
I’ve got my spine, I’ve got my orange crush
We are agents of the free
I’ve had my fun and now it’s time to
Serve your conscience overseas (over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me

High on the booze
In a tent
Paved with blood,
Nine-inch howl,
Brave the night,
Chopper comin’ in, you hope.

most of the lyrics. Stipe’s dad served in ‘Nam. Stipe also wrote “Body Count” about ‘Nam.

My spell checker red-lines blonde, but says blond is okay. :???: It does the same with grey (bad) and gray (good). I dunno which is worse, the English language or spell-checkers. :roll:

Huh, funny. :lol: Spell checker says dunno is ok, WTF? :roll:
.
.
Oh, and no beer, yet. This is my weekend, so that means I’m “day shift” today and tomorrow. Gotta wait ’till this evening to crack on open.

For the life of me I can not find the real definition of the word [Chode/Chobe]. I’ve read everything from it being an imp, to an unfortunately small part of the anatomy, to a different part of the anatomy, and god knows what else. I dont even know if its spelled with a B or a D so you’re my last resort! Please don’t “fail” me HotForWords!

power naps. Im a believer, too

How Do You Sleep

Homework :cool:
Sometimes after I eat a big meal I’ll fall asleep. I also can fall asleep with the TV on, but not when a comedy is on! :grin: I love that angel [costume] :!:

You have a hyperlink with your name, but I can’t get it to go anywhere. :???:

I didn’t see this mentioned by anyone yet, so I thought I’d share what I’ve learned about REM :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

REM is essential for memory consolidation. It is thought that the rapid firing of neurons in the dream state, enhances long term long term potentiation (LTP), which is the foundation of memory (the more you use a neuronal connection, the stronger the connection becomes).

Also, if you have rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD), then you’ll act like Marina’s friend, Bizkit :shock:

I conclude that you have a gay/gey spell-checker. :lol:
(WTF Mine won’t even accept “spellchecker”.)
These automatons are fine for dumb folks but are dumber than we smart folks.

If you like to check out how your heart is ticking just pot on a Gramin forerunner and get a sleep. At hte morning just look at the heart rate :cool:

Best regards

MatsRG

I know how you do that!
Check your Twitter direct messages. :grin:

Good morning internet world…my sleep was good too. :smile: …work, is here :eek: be good all, thanks

If some German shoe company is following me on twitter, should I block it? Can someone harm me by following me? How did a German shoe company find me, anyhow? :???:

Regarding your previous post about spelling blonde, I noticed the same issue. I believe Teacher said something about this, as it is spelled differently in America as opposed to Great Britain. Wouldn’t the e on the end imply a long sounding o?

There is an interesting twist to the story surrounding the controversy at a recent beauty pageant, wherein a contestant has been villified for understanding the meaning of the word [marriage], by gay activist Perez Hilton, and others. Hot For Words must investigate! Parallel to the investigation of this word, the word [union] should also be sourced to it’s origin, to serve that gay people may better understand the meanings of words, and learn tolerance, when people resist their wanton attempts to distort word meanings, to better put forward a political agenda. This story clearly serves as an example of why the word “gay” is used to describe stupid people and ideas.
My intention in this request is to open a frank, and friendly, discussion that may lead to better understanding by those who cannot accept the meanings of words as they are defined.

Hears for the EAR… :wink: Chumbawamba – Tubthumping…another sleep AId :smile:

My god! Neuro sleep? I don’t think I buy in to this at all, one company all nwith drinks to make you speed up slow down and…. even be better at having sex!!!! I don’t think so somehow.. Increased blood flow? My god, that can kill some people..

Choad, is an alternate spelling I’ve seen used.
I knew a guy we would call Choadus, although, I don’t know why.
Choaby (sp?), is actually a word of a different meaning altogether, and is similar to the word copescetic.”Everything is choaby” is often used by surfers to describe when the waves are right to catch long rides.
Kowabunga, dude! :mrgreen:

Wot? Me not pick bone! Me make nice-nice! :mrgreen:

Dear HotForWords,

I just got back from vacation in Wendover! The first time in months and months that I slept on a bed! I slept for only 5 hours or so.

For me getting to sleep is usually a very troublesome ordeal.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYEM68HIm0Y

Your Student,
ThoughtOnFire

Maybe someone should open up a forum for discussing the word “gay” and how it is used today. Wait a minute! :idea: I think that has already been done… hold on…

♪♩♬ :roll: ♪♩♬

{Somebody digs around the forums section. Hmm… Here? Uh, mebbe here? Damn, I had it just a while ago. Finds something interesting. Picks it up, blows the dust off.}

AHA! GOT IT! Sorry, I got excited. Here it is. :grin:

Uh, hold on. Try this.

:oops: What I get for being a smart ass.

LOL! “Don’t you kids have your own room?” :mrgreen:
I remember hearing that as a little one.
For some reason, I remember trying to breath in the same rythym as my Dad, to get to sleep.
And THEN, he’d change rythym, and I’d be wide awake!
Biil Cosby calls it “chain stoking” :mrgreen:

The only thing I can think is that I set up a site on YT a long time ago, but never did anything with. could that be it?

check out your HFW profile. When I Rclick on your link, the url is “n/a” when it should have the url you want us to visit. I am guessing you don’t have an address (maybe an old/obsolete/incorrect?) entered.

WOT now? Everybody talking about sleep?

GET BACK TO WORK YOU LAZY BUNCH OF PETS’N STUDENTS!! Life ain’t some piece of cake I tell ya it’s true. :shock:

And TA’s too. :shock:

Copious amounts of alcohol can help. :mrgreen:
Time wounds all heels, and darkness

There is someone for everyone, even
if you need a mining hat and a rock pick
to find them. :grin:
Take heart in knowing that you are
never alone, even when you feel crummy.

Gay forum? Yeah, tried that, but it didn’t capture the interest of those who were asking for the word’s origin.
While the disccussions were enlightening, to some degree, no new understandings resulted.
Same old, same old….

THis is pretty neat and it WORKS! no cheating :!:

1) Pick a number from 1-10
2) Multiply by 2
3) add 5
4) Multiply by 50
5) If you’ve had your birthday this year add 1759, if NOT add 1758
6) subtract the 4 digit year you were born

You should have 3 digit number left. The first is your original number, the next 2 are your age. Pretty slick, huh?! :mrgreen:

Alternatively, you could try a mix of 2x500ml cans of Red Bull, 2 beers of your choice and 1x250ml shot of Vodka, and see how you sleep after that. :smile:

I dont have a site. I have my poems & songs on my hard drive, but thats it. Its all in me noggin! :wink:

Its interesting that p. hilton can call her a bitch with no repercussions, what if she called him a fag or something else demeaning? It seems that the people who bitch the most about intolerance are the most intolerant! :mad:

Where’s THIS one? Wisconsin? :mrgreen:
I wonder if that’s the native American-indian
name, or the Engilsh translation from the French translation – LOL!

Another thing worthy of notice is this:
Who has to ask for a frank, and friendly discussion about it?
ME! Go figger…..!
Is it unfair to suggest that I am the reasonable one here, only because I am not gay??
The girl they picked on gave other answers that show
she is (in my opinion) dumb as a rock. She is the
perfect person for gay activists to victimize, where
I am not anyone they even care to debate, logically.

The responses here are already starting to show the need for a discussion, which by all rights, ought to begin with a lesson from Marina, around which to focus.

Just posted a poem on the ‘poetry forum’. Let me know what you think. Now, where is Buzzword? you two are the only ones that (I think) wont laugh at me :!: Well, maybe Cha-Cha :twisted:

Here, Cha Cha. Some gay words.

How were we able to drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What did we do when we unchained the earth from the sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving now? Away from all suns? Are we not perpetually falling? Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there any up or down left? Are we not straying as through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space? Has it not become older? Is it not more and more night coming on all the time? Must not lanterns be lit in the morning?

Hi, HotForWords and everybody else!

I’m interested in the origin of [quiz].

The long term studies for additives used in Red Bull, and products like this, are incomplete – or nonexistent.
Only Gatorade is shown to be safe over long periods of usage. Neuro-sportique contains metals known to cause liver damage in long term use, for example (chromium, manganese, selenium, copper, etc.).
The safest drink they offer is Neuro-aqua (water!).
Since only a penny of the cost is for the water, how much are they getting for the fancy bottle, and marketing costs?
The claims made only benefit you if you are susceptible to the placebo effect, and the added caffeine!

I posted a poem in ‘poetry forum’ when u get a chance. My peops only ones to see so I’m wondering what intellectuals think :?: :!:

History lesson time! Marina should enjoy the life story of [Sequoyah] who created the only American Indian written language, I believe.

You are correct in wondering about the origin of the word, as it must have been written phonetically per the listener’s ear and language. It has always amazed me how the original communications transpired. I am jealous of multilingual abilities.

:wink: ;horse! :cool:

What are you building out of wood today, Oh Philosopher? :grin:

Growing up, my neighbors were German immigrants, who were ashamed of their country for that hideous crime. They showed me what it means to be an American, by the boundless love they had for our country. I learned to take a stand for what is right, from lessons they learned in being silent.
When I was in Germany (I lived there a couple years), I saw the ovens. I am not ashamed to be an American, so long as it remains the land of the free and the home of the brave.

I just put the door on a cedar lined, walnut antique armoire I salvaged (in pieces) and restored.
The wood veneers have beautiful figures…
The figures in the wood, on the side facing my bed, look like large, well formed women’s breasts – totally awesome!
One original panel, and the original door was missing, so I had to create ‘em from scratch. I had to search awhile to get stock from the same period. The match is perfect…
The original walnut finish was royal purple, the cedar was anil blue; but I’m leaving it natural.
I’ve had offers of $8-12 G’s (w/o the door) as it sits but, I won’t sell it. I plan to “buzz bomb” it with 17 coats of laquer finish, which takes time. When complete, it’ll have a piano finish and be worth around $34 G’s (insured value).
Not bad, for something I saved from being garbage…

Yardbirds – Train Kept A Rollin’ (1966 with Jeff Beck )

coincidence :?: :!: I was born, raised, and live now right outside of the nasty nati.

I found neurosleep on google: http://www.neurobrands.com; looks pretty slick.

heh heh! I lived in Forestville, down the hill from Salem on Beechmont Ave. between Stanley and Voll Rds. (I went to Anderson HS).
Started boyscout troop 511 at St. Tim’s,
Explorer post at Lunken Airport.
Graduated CTC in ’82
Eden Park, the zoo, Montgomery Inn riverhouse…
Ever been to The Edge? All places I’d hang out…
Where are you?

Sounds like you lived on the good side(at least,thats the way we thought of it). Born in Mt Healthy. Went to Finneytown to see how the other half lived, then to the West side. Western Hills H.S., Price Hill. Used to hang in Lincoln Hts. and Over-the-Rhine but didnt go across 75 too much. Ya’ll rich folk see the holes in our knees and run us back across the Mill Creek. I guess you know where that 14 in my name comes from? and no not K. Anderson. 4256

Sorry. During my stroll down memory lane I didn’t answer your question. I live right outside of Brookville, IN. 7 miles from the lake. 5 miles from the state line

Your link is busted – goes to the HFW Error 404 page.
The site is the same as Marina’s dream link (above).

whoops..

You’re right. I worked for Huish detergent(huge :!: LOok on bottom of your detergent bottle, if there is a H in a circle, they made it) and we would do a changeover from a name brand to an off-brand and the only thing they would change is the bottle. Hell, sometimes just the label.

I lived on Queen City Ave, by Boudinot, across from St. Francis/St. George, when I was married, so I know Western Hills, too.
I used to fish Brooksville lake!
Spent some summer days at Gobbler’s Knob over by y’all. I guess you like the boat races? :mrgreen:

I did some time working P&G’s “green line”, developing process and packaging machines.
I know OTR, Findlay Market, Union Terminal, et al.

OMFG! Do we know each other? :?: I lived @ the corner of Queen City/Ferguson from 82-85. Did you live by Dater and West hi or heading toward Harrison Ave/white castles? Used to go to the ‘shroom festival every year up at the knob :mrgreen: and had some of the best times I’ll never remember :twisted: ! Hears a good one: Brookville had there 200th anniversary last year and somehow got NightRanger to do the gig. Never seen ‘em so I check it out. Main st. blocked off, parade, the whole schlemiel. They’re encore is Sister Christian and right during the middle of it, an official bum-rushes the stage waving his arms. The music stops and the guy steps to the mike and says,” Could Timmy Browns kin come up here right now. He got hit by a truck down the road and ya’ll need to get down there!” You should have seen the look on Jack Blades face :lol: ! He repeated it again with more emphasis now that he had everybodys attention and then wandered off the stage. Well, to there credit;they pretty much picked up where they left off but it just didn’t have the same pop! :mrgreen:

Sure did. Reminded me of one of the counters of a local establishment called “Tabu”. Ladies seem to love the place…

Nightranger
My address was in the 3100 block of Queen City Ave. from ’80-88, and I bought the Carrol house on Carrol Ave.in ’89.
I was one of the organizers of the Clermont Co. Jam Festivals held in ’74-75 (local bands played three days on Labor Day weekend). Hey Market Riot started in my basement. Goshorn Bros. are old friends (Cincinnati Pure Prairie League). No doubt, we trod the same dirt! :mrgreen:

Greetings mrsrabbit,

If you wish to use it in reference to the first letter of the alphabet, as in “The letter A,” call it by its LONG sound: “ei.” When including it as a word (the article “a,” as in “I saw a cat”), it is generally accepted to employ a schwa-like sound, similar to “uh” or “ah” instead. This is the convention because it is faster and requires less tongue involvement. In some instances, one will hear the article pronounced as “ei” when the singularity of the noun which follows it is the specific concept to be stressed, as in “I’m not talking about a (uh) pack of dogs, just a (ei) dog.” In my view, these cases are fairly rare.

But generally, it’s a very short word, so it tends to be used in the way that’s easiest to pronounce during rapid speech. In other words, it gets pronounced lower and further back in the mouth when used in a sentence such as “A (uh) cat walked across the street.” But the long “A” sound would be used to refer to the alphabetical name designation if the cat were to walk across State Highway A1A (ei-one-ei), for example. Does that make any sense?

As a former linguistics student and a native speaker of American English, that’s my impression. I hope it helps answer your question.

Saw ‘Little Feat’ down at Riverbend when they got back together with the singer from PPL. He used cincy landmarks instead of memphis’s during ‘Dixie Chicken’. The crowd went nuts.Great show

It’s an African reference to a spirit (or multiple spirits) of the dead, particularly when a living person has invited it or them to cause trouble for others who are still alive (this is usually seen as an evil sorcery-type interaction). Pretty sure it derives from the Khoi-San language group, but I could be wrong about that. There are one helluva lot of language groups found on the African continent.

Reading a great book, watching late night T.V. on the couch or checking out my fantasy instructor online (the one & only Lady Marina, of course!). As long as my two feline kids, Pandora and Vik are crashing along w/ me — I ‘m good-to-go!

I played backyard football (actually, we called the game “Kill-the-man-with-the-ball” – LOL!) with George Clooney, when we were kids. Tara Patrick (aka Carmen Electra) used to hang out and dance at parties my band played in Blue Ash, Sharonville, back in ’88 (she was smokin‘ hot at 16…).
Not so much like that going on these days. I moved to Florida for the weather (and the fishing).
I miss Cincy, from time to time. I miss seeing my old friends. Frank and Robin Wood were playmates..
I built an illegal transmitter that bled all over the AM bandwidth (when I was 13).
We did a couple broadcasts together – called it WEED, Radio Free Forestville! Basically played album cuts and made up ersatz commercials, on the fly. I kept it up on my own until the FCC tracked me down! LOL! I almost got seriously busted, and Frank? He got his Dad to let him start a little show for a few hours on Sunday nights called “Jelly Pudding”. Basically, the same format we came up with while playing around. Does 102.7 FM WEBN still play the good music? Brute Force Cybernetics got it’s start on AM. “We create a need, and then fill it”. “Tree Frog Beer – it tastes like hell, but it gets you there, faster”. Man oh man, those were the days… :mrgreen:

We call it kill the man, too. I moved down south in ’93 and ‘EBN rocked. Eddie Fingers & Robin on The Dawn Patrol. The Fireworks. When I moved back 3 years ago there format was more of that chunky new metal sound. Korn. Tool. Not so much classic rock. Also, Gary Burbank (remember that crazy fucker :?: ) was retiring at 700 WLW and Eddie took his slot. I still have them in pre-set but dont listen often. Remember ‘Dr. Drivethru’? ‘I’d like a vasectomy’. ‘Hole #3, please’ ‘AHHHGHHH!!!’ :shock:

:lol: :roll: :razz: [ted-ious]; strangeling word…hear is some sleepy music…Gregorian Chant – “Dies Irae”…This is a rendition of the famous 13th century Latin Catholic hymn, “Dies Irae” (or, “Day of Wrath,” about the Second Coming of Christ and Judgment Day). This rendition is off the 1994 CD, “Ego sum Ressurectio,” and is difficult to find. happy Nugent

I got my start doing the pyro at Riverfest. My first job was doing the fountains of falling stars (waterfall) off the L&N bridge. I still do freelance for Zambelli down here. One year, for the kite fly in, I built a Marconi kite, and it was the only one that flew! It was a unique design, tailless, twin diamonds with a rudder.
I ran it up where it caught the breeze, once it was above the bridge deck, and it just hung out, tacking in the breeze. I made it using clear plastic, Put the logo on it in mylar, it just looked like the letters WEBN flying. I got $100 for it!

Great bass lick at start of that song

I just read it one time, so far. After the initial reading, I was very touched. I wish more people had a personal investment in this, as yours was made so plainly clear. I have had the honor of meeting three different survivors, and I was moved greatly by them all. Each story was absolutely unique, yet tragically the same.

I have been a poet. I am not willing to expose myself so openly. I still fear making myself so vulnerable. Thank you for sharing such beauty and horror.

Your name is blue, so you must have tried to link your name to something… :???:

hello marina,
This is jhon from it email I misspelled my name it’s jackson, can u get back to me about the topic I discussed in the email? Also I would like to request a word, [discombobulated] thanks!!!!

If you mean by this that sleepiness and laziness are two different things, you are right. I don’t think there is any correlation between them. :smile:

“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.”
– Marcus Aurelius (121-180)

If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.
– Bertrand Russell

and a contemporary example of what happens when we choose which parts of history to believe and which to ignore. Just as we can do by quoting from sacred texts, we can justify anything if we use only those ideas which support our wishes and neglect those ideas that may be uncomfortable to us. :cry:

read and left a comment. good work beevee14. nice example of words used in the context of poetry. best contribution to that forum.

go to the top of the page, click on administration, upper left hand corner, see profile, click, middle of page see where it says website, this is where you would enter in a website, such as youtube, twitter, myspace, facebook, whatever… you would place the sites url such as http://www.hotforwords.com in that space and save it, then by clicking on your name here in the comments one would be taken to that site. have you figured out how to get an avatar?

This can be explained by the fact that instincts deal with feelings. Neither of them are logical or related to reason. Some say dangerous is the man who has rationalized his emotions. Others say dangerous is the man who has not rationalized his emotions.

A balanced person won’t need a whole lot of proofs to believe in something and accept it as a valid and plausible assumption, but won’t really believe in or accept something fuzzy without any proofs. Unbalanced individuals will never believe anything they don’t like, or will believe everything they like.

A lot of people believe that the ongoing long-term effects of agent orange were and still are seriously downplayed by our media due to manipulation of network news by corporate members of the military-industrial complex. That’s why someone would sing a song about agent orange.

This is also the basis for the success of con jobs.

I’m trying to be, but it is hard sometimes.

:cool: One man’s rubbish is another’s treasure.
Hope you keep it and get many years enjoyment from it.

All lies and jests …

I was just at the VA yesterday, got my incoming orientation (as a precaution in case Obama monkeys with it later – now I’m on the list, I can’t be denied).
They openly acknowledge 11 known maladies associated with agent orange, and offer testing and treatment.
I don’t see how REM lyrics clearly show a connection to this issue; but, you seem to think it does, so I won’t argue the point with you. :mrgreen:

Absolutely, enjoying it. :mrgreen:
It has been sitting for the last five years waiting for me to to put the finishing touches to it. I had got it to the point where it was looking good, and was using it with a tempo plywood door I had rigged. Finding 150 year old walnut center cut and fiddleback veneer stock was tricky. I uncovered a source in Vermont via a mutual friend, and traded some Duncan Phyfe furniture bits I saved. I also have a couple matching mahogany “pie crust” lamp tables I restored, from the same period. I restored them to the original royal purple, laquer finish and they look great, along with the armoire.
If you watch any Antique Road Shoew video, you’ll understand why the details are so important.
I’ve only seen one other armoire like it in a museum as a stand alone piece, worth $115 G’s five years ago (all original). Even with the proper repairs, a lot of value ties to the finish. I had to totally strip it down; I found it in pieces, in a dumpster, standing in 18″ of water, so it was a challenge to restore (damn, I’m good!).

Bear, that’s pure Bull!

Many people think that happiness is in the hands of others and surrounding circumstances.

If the weather weren’t so dreary today, I’d be happier.
If my boss weren’t such a pain, I’d be happy.
Once my financial situation improves, I’ll be happy.

But you don’t have to wait for things to change before you can be happy.
Happiness is more in our own hands than we realize. Happiness is as much a decision as it is an emotion.
You can decide to be happy! It’s in your hands!

Here are some quotations about happiness to give you food for thought.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
- Dalai Lama

“I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace.”
- Dalai Lama

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
- Albert Schweitzer

Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
- Albert Schweitzer

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.
- Denis Waitley

Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt

The perfection of wisdom, and the end of true philosophy is to proportion our wants to our possessions, our ambitions to our capacities, we will then be a happy and a virtuous people.
- Mark Twain

Happiness is a Swedish sunset — it is there for all, but most of us look the other way and lose it.
- Mark Twain

Happiness is when, what you think, what you say, and what you do, are in harmony.
- Mohandas K. Gandhi

Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
- Nathaniel Hawthorne

Happiness is not so much in having as sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
- Norman MacEwan

Growth itself contains the germ of happiness.
- Pearl S. Buck

There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life — happiness, freedom, and peace of mind — are always attained by giving them to someone else.
- Peyton Conway March

To fill the hour — that is happiness.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is, the only place they ever needed to search was within.
- Ramona L. Anderson

There is no duty we so underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world.
- Robert Louis Stevenson

If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden. He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under the radiator.
- W. Beran Wolfe

If you want to be happy for an hour, take a nap;
if you want to be happy for a day, go fishing;
if you want to be happy for a week, take a vacation;
if you want to be happy for a month, get married;
if you want to be happy for a year, inherit a fortune;
if you want to be happy for the rest of your life, help other people.
- Chinese Proverb

Being happy and trying to make others happy is a concious decision I make every day when I wake up. (I don’t always acheive that and sometimes my efforts are misunderstood, but that is my aim.)
However,

as Mark Twain also said, “Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.”

so I’ll conclude with another Chinese Proverb

“Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I’ll understand.”

so if you don’t believe me, involve yourself by trying some of the above advice.
Try this – decide who is the person you least like and find it hardest to get along with, and resolve to be pleasant to them and make them happy for thirty days.
And if you forget and relapse into conflict, start over at day one for another thirty days.

You have clearly found one of the secrets to happiness. :cool: See my response to Smokey Bear.

Hey Marina, did you see the number of people that commented on your title for the above video on YT? I think I counted something like 14 comments about the title, “Sleep with me“. There are probably a lot more comments that didn’t specifically use the word “title” and my guess that there are at least 140 people or more that had the same thoughts about the title, but just didn’t make a comment about it. Love it. :grin:

:shock: Dear HotForWords,

Please tell me the origin of the word “hypnosis.”

I dont know if that song is about nam but the reason they call it agent orange is because it had an orange stripe arond the drum when it arrived in country.

Another good song that is obliquely related to nam is ‘The Rooster’ by Alice in Chains. Their guiterists’ (forgot his name) dad was there.

‘got my pills ‘gainst mosquito death,
my buddies breathin’ his dyin breath’

Rooster – Alice in Chains :mrgreen:

Hello, will you please investigate the word [duck-bill] for me?
I never caught on from what or from where it comes from.
Thank you. :roll:

Meditation helps, as with exersise however insomnia is a real pain for me. The last six months I have taken various precriptions which seem to make me more hypa! Keeping busy too helps the hours go by. Even boring ole TV can’t send me under, reading I get too involved and have to know whats going to happen. Music is great but that’s the problem, I love music so become more alert. Have also tried to count sheep, but end up having imaginary conversations with them!(pretty clever, some of them too!) – Would love to reach REM when able to sleep for long enough, as missing my dreams.

“I could fall to sleep almost any where…” but, not the same as “sleep with me”~~~$~~~Quote
“The instinct of nearly all societies is to lock up anybody who is truly free. First, society begins by trying to beat you up. If this fails, they try to poison you. If this fails too, they finish by loading honors on your head.” – Jean Cocteau 1889-1963…Golden Earrings – Sound Of The Screaming Day …good morning and [listen]

Well-rested, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed makes for a [sanguine] lesson and means you must’ve had some hardcore REM cycling going on the night before, Marina.

Typically when I awake most refreshed, it is after having driven myself into utter exhaustion the day before. However, that’s not my favorite way to fall asleep; I won’t so honest as to unsheath that information.

But I can fill-in nos. 2-5 on my list of favorite ways to fall asleep:

5. With the XBOX controller in my hands.
4. After a complete physical day: early morning jog, noonish 2-and-a-half-hours with the weights—Shower; Lunch—a set or two of tennis if possible, if not, shooting some hoops or, for the nostalgic sake of HS football, running sprints & steps—Steam Room; Shower; Snack & Smoothie—decrompressing a bit in the massage-ready seat of the M on my zip home, before an evening bike ride with my little girl, who, once she’s asleep, and after another shower, I begin devouringly chomping through all sorts of food, then, I collapse in the California King, which sounds kinda gay actually.
3. In the hammock under the trees on top of the mountain at the family mountain house in Blowing Rock, and if it’s Summertime, then complete with a Ketel & Cranberry (my favorite chick drink), usually sometimes.
2. In the recliner watching just enough baseball to induce a nice nap.
1. _________

Aside from this, my observation is that there is no set number of hours I need to sleep in order to feel more refreshed in the morning. Sometimes if I get 7 or 8, I wake up totally sluggish, regardless of the day before’s events, and other times if I wake up after 5 or 6 I feel ready to spring out of bed, regardless of the day before’s events; [vice versa]. I think it almost has to do with when in your sleep-cycle you are awakened.

Dude! I grew up in Boone. I’m in Granite Falls, now, and I still get up to Boone every couple of weeks or so. Let me know where your at (either here, leave a YT message, Tweet me…) and I’ll buy ya a cool one at Woodland’s. :cool:

This girl was set up by the people whom support the issue of gay marriage, the question was political in nature and they are fuming and upset that she didn’t give the answer they expected. The question as presented was clearly inappropriate for the situation and was a clear attack upon her christian values. She was in a situation that there was no good answer she could have given. I agree with Me Lika Do The Cha Cha She was the
perfect person for gay activists to victimize.

Believe it or not, I really liked her answer. First of all, she said that people can choose their own partner “same sex or opposite sex” and she was happy to be in a country that lets you choose. Then she said that it was her personal belief that a married couple should be a man and and a woman, and that she felt that was the way it should be. I did not hear her say anything anti-gay at all. She, technically, supported the legislation that allows same-sex marriage, but said that was not her own belief. She never said that anyone should prevent same-sex marriages. Good for her for giving an answer that she knew would draw some fire. Ask the lady what she believes, then chastise her for stating her belief? People looking for something to bitch about. I’m actually surprised she did not draw more fire from the right for not saying flat-out that gay marriage was wrong.

Good for her. :cool:

Iheartquotes took my original quote and RTed it all over the internet on Twitter.

{Che goes in attic to rummage through old trunk in search of more original quotes}

Oh forgot, here is the quote:

"The only difference between eccentric and crazy is the amount of money you have."

I usually have no problem sleeping unless the neighbors are thumping the sub-woofer. If I can’t sleep, I read. Does it every time. In fact, that was one of the hardest parts of attending college: all the reading assignments put me to sleep immediately. I found that if I was inundated with reading assignments, I could even fall into a deep sleep after drinking coffee if I tried to rush through them without taking any breaks. The only position I could rely on to keep me awake if I needed to read for hours was to stand upright.

Happy Earthday! :mrgreen:
Founded by Ira Einhorn, the Unicorn killer,
who murdered his girlfriend, stuffed her body
in a trunk, and kept her rotting corpse
in a closet for 18 monthes from 1977-79.
Sleep well! :grin:

The trick to that is as simple as reading aloud. :mrgreen:
By verbalizing, as you read, you engage areas of
your brain involved in hearing (and reasoning).
Not only will you stay awake, you will learn faster,
and discover falacies and errors embedded in the
material. You’ll be amazed how much stuff you will

Not to be pesonal or funny, but do you have ADD? Things that stimulate non-ADD people (coffee, ritalin, aderol), make ADD people calm or sleepy. It has to do with the firing of the synapses.

I want to request the word [ hornswoggled ].

Thanks, Chacha. This is excellent advice, and although it slows the reading rate significantly, this was often my strategy during those rare times when I could be alone. But I found this option unworkable in a shared living environment, plus, it’s all over. I am SO done with school, at least for the time being. The only reading I do now is either here or in the Help Wanted ads! :sad:

I dont know what happened there. Its supposed to read “trying to keep”. Posted another thingee in the poetry forum.

Check poetry forum when you get a chance

One thing that worked for me, and it seems bass ackwards, but if I read faster, then I am able to concentrate more, read at a faster rate (of course), and most importantly stay awake. It takes practice, but I force myself to read really fast. It’s similar to driving fast; I am forced to concentrate much more if I am driving 85 than if I am driving 50. It is also physically tiring. I can only handle about 45 minutes at a time, then I take a break for about 10 minutes.

It works for me. :roll:

Well, BV14, as you can probably tell by my gravatar, I done gone went and fired all my synapses quite awhile ago. Had to. They were all trying to gang up on me and remember some pretty little girl from Pawpaw Park who plumb up and broke what was left o’ my heart! Hmmm. That sounds like a lyric…

Thanks, B.

As a sophomore I took a speed-reading course figuring it would help me get through the millions of pages I had to read in a shorter time. In fact, I was able to read quite a bit faster when it was over, but the faster I read, the less I comprehended. I had to strike a balance where the speed and comprehension were more evenly matched. Eventually I developed a habit of setting my watch to sound at 40-minute intervals, and would spend 5 minutes walking, then go back feeling a bit refreshed. A couple of the tricks I learned from speed-reading really did help improve my speed without sacrificing too much detail.

Slow? No, you’re not reading to children – read fast!
As far as shared environment, I’ve had people eyeball
me like I was crazy as I verbalize while inventing a
new process. Fuck ‘em! I know I’m not crazy, and
they’re the same people who want to ask me how to
do things, later, when they see me fly through work.
I always ask them how much money they have to pay
me for the answers, and they stare at me like gaping
fish. “I don’t believe you won’t give me the answer!”
My view is that if you want me to do your work for you,
pay me! Education is not free.
I stopped reading ads, months ago. There is no job
market (in Florida). I only kept an eye on that for
a source of leading economic indication.
I am being offered 4x the money I made, to take on
new projects. I won’t do it. Any incentive is gone.
The taxes I’d have to pay, with all the stress involved
in detailing these projects, isn’t worth it.
Why should I expose myself to individuals who want
to steal my proprietary ideas, again? Not all of the
tricks I know are that hard, but what made me successful
was I know how to keep secrets that are strictly kept
between myself, the end user – and no one else.
Why build a labyrinth to protect the end user, if you
give everyone a map of the place? My encryptions
are like trying to crack Rubik’s cube, without an algorithm.
Once you know how, it’s easy – which is
what you want as an end user.
If you are on Unemployment Compensation, consider
yourself fortunate. I’ve had to help quite a few folks
whose benefits are over, and they still have no work.

Dear Marina aka HotForWords,

When I watch your videos, my heart fills with hyperbole. You have a way with words that the Queen of the British Commonwealth should give you her Royal Coach. The sheer beauty you possess is enough to make all the Captain’s of all the seas adjust their sails to come see you and your wind swept hair at the edge of the shore. The knowledge you share is like a rare pearl rolling off your tongue into a pool of liquid gold… ooooh! my heart aches for more! MORE! MORE!!

Please bless upon us another wonderful video lesson
from Marina, who we dearly love and cherish.
May her lesson teach us patience, ’cause we need some!
Although we would like a new lesson with every new day,

The word New Zealand

hi marina!!
i would like to request the word : [Schmool ] , i heard it on this song called Cool Schmool from Bratmobile, my native language is spanish so im not familiarized with the expression!!!
thanks!!!!

Thank you for your kind words originalistrick,
I am just now voting on my iPhone in the car – parked :grin:

I had to send several emails to the site
so I am glad that it is now working.

I would like to request the word [dance]

I would like to request the word [exotic]

I would like to request the word [Quantum]

Dang it, I’m missing you, Marina!

Marina,

Just saw your Twitpic with the Woz. How cool is that. Hope you’re having a good time. You really look amazing!

And I’m sorry I whined.

Always.

I requested this word earlier in the semester, but since it is almost over I would like to request it again. My professor loves your site and I would like to request the word of his graduate class I am taking this semester… who knows he may give me extra credit for getting you to define this word’s origin. The word is [cadastre]. Again, please hurry we have two weeks.

Thanks1

If I ever learn to play my guitar :roll: , I would love to do something with that. Good one. :cool:

Where did you get the name Frecklington? :lol:

I think I’m still blocked (no exlax jokes please) I don’t think my votes are counting & the gap is widening… aaarrrggghhh.
How ya doing otherwise, you hard workin’ beast of burden?

Given recent events. How about the word [PIRATE] ??? :D

From the article :mrgreen:
(Jim Frecklington designed and built the Royal Coach)

The Woz was REALLY cool.. he’s is so down to earth and a REALLY nice guy! I’m more excited about meeting him than anyone I’ve met in a while!

Today was crazy… I have a Russian reporter interviewing me for the whole week, then I had a business meeting at the Beverly Hills Hotel where wince was served! Then back to the reporter then off to do an interview and met The Woz.. who was really the coolest person ever!

Excuses, excuses…

Intransitive verbs are served at the Beverly Hills Hotel? I have always wondered… what does a place like that charge for say… 8 oz. of wince? :lol: :shock: :roll: Just havin’ fun!

Did your interview go well?

I didn’t know who Steve Wozniak WOZ *cringe* so I watched a video.

He’s like a infectiously enthusiastic bear :smile: Wish I had him as a mentor.

:mrgreen: That’s satisfyingly awesome you met The Woz!
Could have used a jetpack to get around with :!: vroooommmm!!!

lol! give the woman a break. She tweeters most fabulous :shock: !

LOL, are those actually your feet in the picture Marina??

Good Morning, Marina.
Here is something for you and all your students, to help you all have a Happy Day.

:cool: Congratulations !! :cool:

I have a word for you that a lot of people probably don’t even know exists. [cunnilingus] I believe it’s spelled correctly. Goodluck

ALTERNATE DREAM SEQUENCE:

SCENE: A young woman is 12,000 miles away from home in a foreign land.

She is highly educated in a field that is of little interest and NO notariety…

She takes a job caring for children and contemplates her future.

One day…a friend sends her an Email, and she has an inspiration…

Using only the tools she has to hand – her intellect, her confidence in self, and an idea – with no money – she sets out to do something no one has ever done before…

She gains a fast following, and soon millions of people from all over the planet are gathering to her and following her work.

Within two years, her worldwide popularity has grown to the point where almost unlimited possibilities exist for her, and the future seems paved with Gold…

FADE

On second thought:

NAWWW…forget that idea…too fantastic for most sensibilities…can’t be done…no one would ever believe it.

You’d have to be a real [Dreamer]….

I believe most of the fellas have a pretty good idea! :mrgreen: Myself? :?: I don’t know, but I just got a brand new kick-starter for my tongue :twisted:

I know what you mean. This is one of the few that I have, in my mind; exactly how I want to be musically. Guitar over-dubs, arpeggio at first, then standard chord progression. I even have a choir at the end on the last 2 line fade-out! Ahhh, now to just win the lottery. Hey, I could add that to my bucket list :!:
1) Learn something about music so I know what the hell I’m talking about!
2) Pay somebody enough to 8-track that s%#t! :mrgreen:

♫♫I was playin with a girl in the Paw-Paw park,

What, or who, is Woz?

Hello hotfor_hotforwords,
“The Woz” as he is belovedly known is Steve Wozniak, who along with Steve Jobs founded Apple.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Wozniak

Also, if you are into technology and it’s history, check out the movie “Pirates of Silicon Valley” Excellent movie, and as the the Woz says, “that’s how it really was”.

he’s hot :razz:

:oops: ..a sickel or sickle…

Hey Marina! I saw JamesatWar’s Bad Grammar video and became an instant fan. No, not only because of the extremely short skirt, but also because simple, lazy grammatical mistakes drive me crazy.

Your/you’re, there/their/they’re, “alot”… Argh!

Anyway, I was hoping you could help me with my name. I made up the name [vyskol] years ago. And only after, through searching Google (Who hasn’t “Googled” their own name? Hmm, what do you think about that word?), did I find out that it actually exists elsewhere. Apparently, it’s Russian for… something. I have no idea. I don’t know anybody who speaks Russian.

But now, I not only “know” someone who speak and teaches Russian, but she’s also a philologist!

So please help me out. Not necessarily a video… Even a simple reply here or email would be awesome.

Thanks!
[vyskol]

Roflmfao!! My friend, you are truly ill.

While these guys are dreaming about you Marina, I’m going to make them all jealous! I met a woman at the beach yesterday who looks (and speaks) almost exactly like you. We chatted about yoga. She’s from the Ukraine and was very sweet. I’m sure your fans would rather meet you, but this girl runs a close 2nd.

so i was sitting in front of the tv eating leftovers when i got an idea for a word request. what is the origin of the phrase [cold turkey] and what does addiction have to do with last night’s dinner?

Firefox seems to the reason why I can’t log in… Works fine first time in opera :evil: :cry:

I found you! :smile:

Thats exactly how I found her. :razz:

Yes! Electric house is pretty coolio. Not sure if you like or heard any of their tunes but, Orbital are awesome, ‘insides’ album is tops for me, Out there somewhere pt2 as with The girl with the sun in her hair, are super fun when the moment takes you. They are playing live later on this year, will be a rocking night to remember as they always put on an amazing show……

You’re right! Thanks for pointing that out! Must have happened during the cut and paste. :oops: All better now. :mrgreen:

Instructions for lingual kick-start:

1. Open jaw and lips

2. Extend tongue forward and outward

3. Invoke the ancient mystical Aztec incantation: “Atlatl”

4. Repeat until climax

It refers to being covered with goose bumps, which are the result of the extreme chills and fever opiate addicts experience when they are taken off the drug. Smokers also use it to describe quitting smoking without using any patches, gum, medications, etc.

That was simply great, Bob-THANKS!

How do I like to fall asleep? With my woman in my arms after a fulfilling session of lovemaking. That was easy to answer…

As for this lesson, I will have to say it was a little lacking due to the word choice. REM sleep just had it’s acronym explained, and that was about it. Didn’t really give Marina much of a chance to display her philological knowledge, nor did the origin of the term ‘REM sleep’ get delved into much. I guess it was good for a short and sweet lesson, but I ended up finding it a bit superficial and undynamic. The dream sequence was pretty enjoyable, as were all the other aspects of Marina’s presentation, but the actual lesson was a little wanting in my eyes. Maybe I just need to sleep on it… :grin:

Peace, Errin : )

It sounds so surreal, certainly no one would believe it!
:D

I would like to request the phrase [Blow Smoke] or [Blowing Smoke].

I often find examples of this taking place .. but I would like to know its origin.

I love to sleep with the aircon on waaay high and being covered with pillows and blankets :mrgreen:

I would like to request the word [tickle]

pain or pleasure?

Marina,

I just found a Share This service. I thought you might be able to add the icon to your videos so that viewers can share your videos with their friends.

:wink:

Umm, more philological meat please…

Congratulations to Marina, for achieving such a high place on the miss YouTube top 20, made by the whatthebuckshow.
You can check that out —> over here.

Bob I received a message from Evan:

Hello Captain Jack,
“Bob” said something about needing some more puns. In my absence, will you forward these to him? He’ll know what to do with them.

End of message.

Does “Atlatl” translate into “Motarboat” in English?

Hey, I would like to request the word [pilfer]. What is the origin and why do only old people use this word? Thanks :mrgreen:

I would like to request the word [hypnosis]

I would like the word [marriage]

Okay. There’s something you need to understand here, but it involves science, so you’ll have to conduct an experiment of your own or it won’t mean a thing.

Procedure: Go look in the mirror. Now say “motorboat.” Say it fast and say it slowly. Can you see your tongue at any time? No, I didn’t think so.

Hypothesis: A magic word is magic. It doesn’t require translation. There’s a reason why it’s a magic word. She’ll get the (massage) er, uh, message. Just take a deep breath, hold out your tongue and say “atlatl” 25 times without any pauses.

Observation: MMMMMmmmmagic!

Discussion: No way! Gentlemen don’t discuss such things.

Conclusion: I rest my case.

Here’s what happened when that story was made into a video for Marina’s Birthday :mrgreen:

Some clarity on the word [union], too

referencing marina’s tweets. debate seems to refer to a civilized discussion. however its origin is down and dirty.

When will your Kerwin Show interview be available on the internet? I looked at his web-site and could find no clue. I’ll be sending the show an email asking the same question!

Neuro drinks ~ with their unique euro designed caps may also serve as a handy foot massage roller for giant feet :wink:

Whenever I want to block out the world and it’s distractions I just watch a bunch of HotForWord vids :idea:

Marina, Are those your feet? :???:

{It looks like your smelling them} :mrgreen:

I came across that a few days ago…you guys really did a good job with that!

And what a nice tribute and Birthday Gift…

I didnt go to a mirror but I did mouth “atlatl” a few times and I understand that could be wonderful technique! :wink: “Motorboat” refers more to the sound that you make during the ,ugh, act :!: :shock: But I think I dont need to tell an old pro that novice trick.

Have fun :cool:

I agree. When I saw the lesson title, I thought, “Either you have heard of the term Rapid Eye Movement or you haven’t. There can’t be much more to it than that.” This one is really a history lesson. Nothing wrong with a history lesson, but it doesn’t fit the theme. She might need a nudge and a bit o’ prodding.

Errin, you handle the nudging, and I’ll get my prod out. :mrgreen:

WOW I LOVE THAT VIDEO!!!!! but marina? how come it didnt show your soles in the video? just the cover? WOW THAT WAS GREAT MARINA! YOU HAVE THE PERFECT SOLES!

WOW that cover got me really excited! Your soles are really nice marina. you should use them more in your vids! :mrgreen:

 
Hey ilikesexytime, you aren’t giving up
making a request for the origin of [sole] or [soul] are you?
Oh darn, I just did it for you. :grin:

I learned about REM sleep in 6th grade. What an exciting word…..zzzzzzzzz :neutral:

I think she made the video whilst she had that cold recently – it turned her upside down – her nose was running and her feet were smelling. :roll:

Thanks for passing that over, Jack.
Since I’m not allowed to fly hellas any more, it was just what I needed.

Can some of you try and improve the ratings on my susan boyle is fake video please?

She had serious competition, originalistrick!
She didn’t expect to win it anyway… :-)
But meaningless is right, because even if she did win, it would still be Bucky’s top, and nothing official. So no harm done.

I just woke up from REM sleep, and I jumped on my phone and gave a call to apologize that I couldn’t come to the date, because the elephant door is stuck, and my elephant is stuck outside.
How embarrassing! :D

Hi Marina, this is a very good word [initial]. I am looking for the origin of the contractual meaning of this word. You must initial every page in a contract to verify that it is in order etc.

Best regard

MatsRG

I’ve been playing that free browser game Civony at http://www.civony.com/ all week that I hardly got any sleep. It’s kind of like Sid Meyer’s Civilization in a way, but only set in medieval times. It’s very time consuming and it still has a few bugs in it (it sometimes freezes up and takes 5-10 minutes to log back in after refreshing page).
I managed to build up my prestige enough to become a member of a friendly alliance, who are ranked in the top 40. And I even teleported my 2 cities in the same state where most of my allies are at.

Thank you. :smile: The video was awesome! I haven’t heard that song in ages! You made me want to get up and play air guitar! :cool:

Is that right?

YES! haha thank you. MARINA PLEASE DO THE WORD [SOLE] as in the soles of your beautiful feet! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

It’s true, I… uh, I mean, yes, it is.

Well, since there is no new lesson, I guess I will have to fall back on the weather for a topic of discussion. We tied the all-time (well, since they started keeping records, anyway) temp. for the date the other day and Modesto beat it by 5°. It got up to 90°F Wed., but Thur. it dropped down to the 70s, which was perfect for working outdoors. The sun would pop out and then go back behind the clouds for some relief. It sprinkled a bit last night, but it’s drying out with a stiff breeze and the sun is burning off the overcast. It should be 80°F, so it won’t be too bad at all.

For any of you that did not get into deep REM last night, read the above paragraph three times.

I never understood the fascination with feet, especially when there is a nice set of gollywobblers to play with. :?:

Please intitial your signature to verify that you are signing. Then sign next to your initials to verify that you have initialed. :shock:

Not without a link. We are really lazy around here.

PS: I had a short dream last night where M was wearing only a sheet and I was giving her a body rub. The point was that somehow the sheet provided a kind of psychological insulation that made the rubbing acceptable; had there been no sheet, it would have been unseemly. I wonder if there have been any studies done on this, and if not, what the hell is wrong with people? :mrgreen:

Maybe it was just wishful thinking.

Ju must be yoking! No sheet?

I fall asleep on my left side dreaming about LA

Marina,
I would like to request the word [Hurray] and the phrase [Hip Hip Hurray].

Spacibo.

:mrgreen: I have tried to sleep with my eyes open,but it never works-or does it? If I am asleep,I don’t know if my eyes are open or closed. I’m so confused!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL, I’m pretty sure Marina pasted those feet into the picture from somewhere else!

Aww, I know. It really meant nothing from the git-go. I’m just saying look at who (what?) finished ahead of her. Come on.
I’m just outrageously biased anyway. But seriously, and objectively, since I’ve become a member of The Family, I have yet to see one of these “contests” in which she truly shouldn’t have been at the top.

I think I’m in love with you! marry me please? If not, can you please tell me about the word [defenestrate]?

OK, I compared the feet from the thumbnail and her feet in one of her videos, and now I think they are actually her feet.

I have no idea why I felt compelled to prove that! lol

radio lab is a great radio show, they did a show exploring the subject of sleep. really interesting stuff, give it a listen. brought to by n p r… national public radio.

Have you ever been in an area so dark, you didnt know if your eyes were open :?: Wierd :shock:

“what the hell is wrong with people?”

People are just wrong! :D
Nice imagination though, did you ever realize that you’re dreaming in your sleep? When I dream about flying, I sometimes realize that I’m dreaming, because I often associate the two occurrences.
And if you manage to stay asleep after your realization, then the fun may start. Imagination is the limit! But keep it simple, or you risk drifting into a nightmare. :-)

Dreaming is one of the most personal experiences you can have, because it’s the only time you’re really alone with yourself. I think that in the future, we will take mind numbing holidays, in our sleep.
The perfect way to positively charge yourself during the night, for the day to come.
So if someone will tell you to dream on, you could reply: I will, thank you. :D

Sleepy Time a song sang…George Harrison performing “Bangladesh” during the concert for Bangladesh at 1971, Madison Square Garden. MAGIC! My friend :smile:

I second that ,bianjiewen :lol: :cool:

:mrgreen: Yeah!! Every night when I am driving in my car. Maybe I’ve crossed over into the twilight zone!! He-he!!

perhaps to prove that marina has a soul.

:idea: WOW :razz:

request a phrase for my girlfriend, Alexandra and me, [Whoa Nellie]

No way. those HAVE TO BE HER FEET!

I would like to request the phrase:

[thinly veiled crusade]

Alternatively:

[thinly veiled threat]

What is the significance of a crusade or threat being thinly veiled?

It means hidden in an ineffective way. Someone hidden behind a thin veil would be easily recognized.

It’s a command to a horse. The question is whose horse was named Nellie?

You mean sole. :lol:

I think it was originally [hurrah], but I have seen variations of spellings from the past. It must have started somewhere and M could investigate that.

If you fall asleep on your right side, do you dream of San Diego? :smile:

Thanks for the reply. I am aware of that. But, something about the phrase makes it seem even more sinister. As if a “thinly veiled crusade” or a “thinly veiled threat” was even worse than just a “normal” crusade or threat. But, you would think that something that was thinly veiled would actually be better (because less threatening) than a crusade or threat that was well-hidden. I don’t know why I have the sense that the phrase “thinly veiled” makes these things even worse — maybe I am wrong about that. What is the point of saying that a threat is thinly veiled? Is it to insult someone who has tried to hide their motives, but failed miserably?

Perhaps realizing you are dreaming is a defense mechanism to keep one from feeling too uncomfortable with the situation. It always wakes me up. Maybe the realization is just the first stage of awaking, such that it would not be possible to realize it and continue to dream.

Hello Hot For Words, I would like to request the word [spelunking] and the word [gross]. The first seems to be made up. The second has a negative connotation. Why?

Apparently you only remember a dream if you are awoken whilst you are in REM. You may have several periods of REM during a night’s sleep, but you only remember the last one and then only if you awake before descending into deep sleep again.
Could the feeling of realisation that you are dreaming be a signal that you have had enough sleep and it is time to wake up?

Realisation

OMG Marina, I love that little bit o’ moosik in the video, it reminds me of doing something naughty :oops:

Oh how I love you. UR videos are so :cool:

Depends if his head is pointing East or West. If not SAN it must be SFO.

Here is a link to my sexy woman Susan Boyle Video… People are rating it madly so any help would be sexy..

Here IT is

Like Gorby

@ dabeyta

Gross is an excellant word. How could something mean ‘incredibly ugly’ :roll: , and also ’144 of something’? Its to early for this! Now I got a headache. HEEELP!

Sleep with Me… If I went to bed with you I’d never get any sleep! Lately it’s with my blankey. But, personally I’d rather have you singing me to sleep. Also spelunking is cave exploring. hmmmmm…. So, anyways SWEET DREAMS!

I like this new style of video…. But I still miss the old style… and the lesson everyday….

[myggo] guess there are some people coming up with a generation g movement already, and they have it up on myggo.net.

yup i’m still all about the generation g thingy, but they do have something pretty interesting up.

I’d like to request the phrase [a go-between]

I would like to request [manscaping] because I don’t know if I’m doing it right.

:smile: your thingy link thing ain’t working…never heard of [manscaping]? 0r [womanscaping]….How about [scalping], like bounty(settlers) or fashion for {sport Worship} praise their lord :roll: :twisted: :eek: and by the way

~~~have a good Day ~~slothrop856~~and every Day too~~~

:lol:

I would like to request [pirates] and suitable replacement terms as this one is dated and abused, as in Gilbert and Sullivan’s the Pirates of Penzance (listen to Modern Major General here).

It’s definitely worth exploring….
I wonder if anyone else had a Realisation dream. :idea:
Maybe I should write a tutorial? :-)

Alright, I’m not a big fan of the sexual ones, perhaps because there are too many (you already did D*nkey Punch), but my favorites are [tea bagging], [rusty trombone], and [strawberry shortcake], though of course you could investigate the regular ones like [b*ow job] and [missionary position], though they are certainly not terribly interesting as word phrases.

:smile: It is primarily intended to fulfill the needs of Buddhists who may be less traditional, but nevertheless enthusiastic. Additionally, links to issues in mental health :roll: cool******

Editing my poindexter video right now.. hopefully it will be in a few hours!

:smile: [few] is that 3, or more than two? :lol: Soul LUCKY***!***[luck]

Yeah, I know a few guys like that. Their stories are hilarious. Can’t get enough of them feet! :twisted: I love womens bodies but their feet dont do it for me. I mean, just look at Marinas feet at the top of the page! :shock: Pretty nasty :?: and those are MARINAS :mrgreen: Can you imagine someone who doesn’t take such good care of themselves!

WOO!!

It’s 9PM now, I will film tomorrow..

YES!!! My mum just found my armani top!! woo

If you have to ask, then your probably not :lol:

Good luck, hotforwords!
:wink:

Conversation I had with “Smarterchild” A robot that kids can talk to… It has a planner, but although it is targeted toward childeren displays ads for debt management and…. weight loss

James says: Fuck

- SmarterChild :
Ah yes. If I’m not mistaken, Shakespeare first said that.

James says:
who the hell do you think you are???? HotForWords?

SmarterChild says:
I’m SmarterChild! I’m a smart computer that you can chat with about all kinds of things.

Type “home” to see what I can do.

James says:
well obviously you are not that smart if you think Shakespesre coined the word “fuck”

SmarterChild says:
That’s quite a grave insult.

James says:
see, you can’t have a proper conversation. You are probably high on meth and crack,. so I bid you good day

SmarterChild says:
I can’t understand what you’re saying…

James says:
Well, that just proves my point then doesn’t it

SmarterChild says:
I don’t understand this fully enough to say anything smart about it…

James says:

then don’t say anything at all

SmarterChild says:
OK. Don’t get frustrated…

Miss Bly’s perhaps? :lol:

Dance these steps, to help pass the time …
TIME WARP :wink:

Caracoles, I reckon one thing is sure. This is one hell of a lucky bottle of neuro sleep!

Gross is originally from the German for “big.” We also get the word “grow” from this origin, the German verb “grossir.” I think this would make an excellent lesson if it isn’t one already.

As to the negative connotation, my German teacher Mrs. Duerr said it can be the opposite of delicate and refined, so think of it as meaning big and clumsy or raw and unrefined also. Finally, there are some things I can think of that are fairly disgusting the larger they get in size. Know what I mean? Okay that’s just gross…

WORD REQUEST: [ valise ]

My friend said he was at his girlfriend’s place licking her valise. I said, “What?”… He said he had to because there was strawberry jam on it! :roll: :shock:

Generation G gotcha jumpin’?

Word request [billody]

Im not sure i wrote it correctly. It was a term used by James May in Top gear when he goes to Finland to lern to drive like Mika Hakkinen.

This is the video in which it can be heard… (he uses it at about 8:27 of the clip)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy8LJx71_9o

:)

Just to pass the time…

20 Questions

As long as he uses dental dam… :mrgreen:

I have also seen [huzzah] and it seems like the same thing. :???:

I said I fall asleep dreaming about LA because here in Eastern Europe California is
being related only with Hollywood and LA (when I was younger)
When I finished highschool I wanred to emigrate to US in CA LA but things changed and now everithing is allright right here
Now we’ll have in several years Euro curency and my bussiness will work better and better
But as reflex some habits you can not change and that is why I am still dreming about LA
Now that I am older I konw that LA is not such a great US city, but still you
can make a dream about those lands (even if now they are more like United Villages :lol:)

I think that is the point. A thinly veiled threat is obviously a threat, and the threat-giver felt it was not even worth the effort to conceal it.

With a crusade, this is something most people feel should be hidden from public view, because many people in the public do not like someone being targeted; alot of people like to root for the underdog. If the crusade is thinly veiled, the crusader most likely feels comfortable enough to launch an obvious attack, with only the slightest of justification.

You’re not waiting for me are you? I got bogged down with my Poindexter video!

Madoff [bilk]ed even poor people of their hard-earned savings.

Wonderful; come to Hollywood; I’ll sponsor. Ciao, James

I agree. Self

It’s similar to “Speak softly and carry a big stick;” the threat is so obvious and ominous that a veil won’t obscure it.

Yes…. I only have today left before I am out of time….. Next week I am away..

:shock: Even “back-woods” Americans dream that way…an ode too of sluts :oops: :twisted: …have a great day inco :smile:

“grossir” would be french. not german. german verbs always end in -en.

“groß” does not have a negative connotation over here. on the contrary. it’s sometimes used to describe something good, cool.

btw, “duerr” means “meager” and the like.

Thanks, Alex…. Yeah, I mix them up. Heck, it was 25 years ago. I always knew it was a mistake to study French just a few years later. I blame it all on a woman I met in Quebec who was way too nice to me. Guess I should have completed the process and moved to Europe for awhile just to solidify either the French or the German language in my mind.

yeah, well, how about a vacation? just don’t visit all those castles and shit. americans seem to have an affinity to do just that. never understood why. it’s all just bricks and stones and stuff.

Thanks; that was very helpful, and that was along the same lines of what I was thinking…However, there is still a geography issue at hand, which I will have to take into my own hands and ask around. Where are you from?

I grew up in the USA near Pittsburgh. It’s in southwestern Pennsylvania which is located in the upper reaches of the Ohio River Valley. Where are you?

Thanks, Bob.

These are helpful words to bear in mind.

thanks for all that geographical information, but frankly, if I didn’t know where Pittsburgh or Pennsylvania were the words “Ohio River Valley” would be completely meaningless.
I’m south of the border…not Tijuana tho. In the small and unknown town of Mexico City. Right now with a swine-flu curfew

Bienvenidos!

Yes, I included not only city and state names but a physical geographic location as well, just in case the river valley would help to make the area easier to find on the map. I’ve never been to Mexico City but I understand that the mountains surrounding it are beautiful.

Sorry about the flu outbreak. The news stories show that almost everyone wears a surgical mask when they are out in public places. I hope you are in good health, and that you and the people close to you are safe from infection.

thanks for the well-wishing; nobody i know is actually down with anything so i’m not worried. everybody wears those masks because they’re being ridiculous, frankly. but yeah the country is at a standstill, with classes cancelled till next wednesday and movie theaters and the like closed down…i’m pretty bored.

I heard hurray may actually be Mongolian in origin. It is still a Mongolian word I am told. Maybe Hot for Words can confirm.

Marina asks

Do you sleep in pajamas (sic) or in the buff?

Having read this piece by Mark Twain, I wonder if we shouldn’t all copy Abby, from the TV series NCIS, and sleep in a coffin. :grin:

You’re kidding, right? Bill Oddie (of which this gentlemen resembles, is a TV presenter/Bird Watching enthusiast) from Britain.

Of course, Bill Oddie’s can often be seen in the wild, looking at birds and driving vehicles…..

Marina, Can you please do a video on the word: MARSHMELLOW
It is firm and pillowy and sweet and you have a great desire to put it in your mouth…
Thanks, Marina….

ILufMarina

Beautiful, sweet, lovely; original, professional. Encourage, keep-up the good work. James

and i also wonder if you googled some of that

I have a favorite way to fall asleep! I prepare for the next morning by
grouping all the things I will need like my wallet, glasses and cash, etc.
Do any of my regular routines like those, and do a final check of emails
and websites to see if anything hasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss- unh where am I?!

No, elahie, I didn’t google it. I’m too lazy for that! :lol:

I studied anthropology in college. I took one class in linguistics where we studied many language groups and heard some examples of different language types from all different locations on earth, and another class about the structure of cultural groups of all different sizes from all different locations around the world, including their spiritual belief systems. Plus, I had to learn a lot of other similar stuff in other anthropology classes, too.

The San culture of Namibia and Botswana did receive special attention as isolated hunter-gatherer groups living under unique conditions. But I’m not sure where I heard this word. I know something about it but I can’t remember exactly where I ran across the information.

I agree with your idea and think [OBEAH] would be a great word for Marina to do a lesson on! Thanks for suggesting it. See you around the campus.

lets see you define the word [transvestite].. this should be a blast..

enjoy

[verdant]

cure snoring naturally…

Here are the details of a little known completely natural snoring cure… that has helped thousands of people and their partners get a good night’s sleep…

REM sleep is globaly 3x – 4x during the night ;-)

We wake up during the REM sleep mostly! :-((((

Dear Teacher,

I woke up the other night, I recalled the dream.

I passed away. I went to the two gates in the clouds.

I saw you standing at the cloud to the left.

I figured should go to the right. I decided to go with you!

I was the right decision! Love, Jimmy. Jimj122345

Dear Teacher,

I forgot to mention. If I went to the right in my REM Dream, They would not let my dog in!

(VERY STRICK RULES) T. Zone! jimj122345

Marina, you remind me of a blond Russian chimpanzee that thoroughly discredits our nationality with your sluttiness that you pretend to pass for classiness, unsuccessfully.

Disgusting and low! And it speaks volumes about American culture that buys into this disingenuous semi-pornographic deception.

Marina, I would like to request the word [racism] since it easily the most abused word in America today. It used to mean the belief that one race of humans was superior to another. But today, it is thrown around irresponsibly like cheap candy in any discussion regarding politics rendering it almost devoid of meaning. What is its proper origin and use? And, who really is misusing the word [racist], or [racism] today?

Thank you for your consideration. Have a beautiful weekend.

Respectfully,

KevinB

REM sleep’s becoming one of my favorite.
