Fun stuff -- word related or not, ramblings, junk, whatever.

How does the local ads work? Does it collect my location & then send me targeted ads? So how is that created? Does someone somewhere actually direct specific ads toward specific locations? Then those are mixed in with the non-specific location ads?

Do people in other countries see the the same thing? Hmm ...

That thing is HUGE. Shudder.

Living in a rural area of Hawai'i with three indoor-outdoor cats, I have learned never to stumble off to the bathroom at night without turning on a light to see where I'm putting my bare feet. There might be a "gift" carefully arranged on my bedroom rug that I could step on. It's almost always an expired rat, but occasionally a gecko or a coqui frog. (Fortunately it's virtually never birds, as the cats only hunt at night.)

Last night they were playing with an inch-and-half long cockroach. No way was I going to sleep while that thing was scurrying around my bedroom. As soon as the cats had batted it around enough that it had slowed to a crawl, I took it out with lemon cleaner.

Ah, the sweet release of a lemon-scented death.

Played a board and happened to see "representativenesses" and was pleased that I also entered all the smaller parts and related words, finishing just as the time ran out. And reviewed the board afterwards to discover that I'd missed the "un" prefix in plain sight. If you get that board where I have the record for the longest/best word, please don't screw it up as I did.

The other day I was looking out of my kitchen window and spotted something new to the neighborhood. The toddler of our new neighbors was riding her little push bike wearing nothing but a motorcycle helmet. I laughed so hard I almost fell down. There's a girl with some fashion sense.

Hi I am new

I hope you enjoy the game and the conversation. Some of the players here are really, really good. Don't let that discourage you.

When I was a kid, there was something called "Tom Swifties"…. .

And if you want to talk about the kids or the volume of weeds in your yard or the heat and humidity, this is the place. And don't forget the bugs.

I don't understand your examples, but I LOVE the name of this discussion!

I'm sitting here at 4am playing Wordtwist and a centipede the size of a small cat just ran right under my feet. I swear to god my heart stopped for a few seconds, I'm like "what the hell was that"......ran it down and mashed it good........

Can I just say ewww ... yes, summer (aka known as super warm spring), the time of the year you squish icky bugs with your bare hands (always just after washing them) or in this case feet!

worried that squirrels were eating up all the birdseed so we set up a camera ...

All animals will eat the birdseed, not just bears, deer love it too.

Earlier this month, I spotted this trundling across the carpet., giving me 3 choices:

1. Move.
2. Burn the house down.
3. Capture it or I'd never sleep again.

Caught it with a sticky trap.

Eeeek - I have some of those sticky traps ... they're great for crickets! Yet OMG ... that's a wasp on steroids!

We've had an ad on the radio for some time, in children's voices, recommending Michael's Grandma.....or...as it turns out...Saint Michael's Grammar (School)....

Nueromol (apparently a hybrid painkiller) ads....invariably invoke the response.."well...you're a moll too ! "

There's a candidate named Coleman in the upcoming local election whose yard signs have the letter "l" printed in blue while the rest of the name is in red. I keep reading the signs as "Co-lemon" for some reason.

Cat had his tongue?

Sadly, we have a 4am fox, it drives Moose (the dog) crazy....

why did the fox stop talking, embarassed, after spilling too many secrets?
