[...] February: Strangest thing said at the Mardi Gras Ball by Colleen to Mara, who was dressed in a suit for her Mardi Gras King election campaign: “Neckties are so phallic.” [...]

let’s see, what was I on about? It made sense at the time I think.

I wrote a 16-sonnet series. a sonnet is a tie. therefore I’m wearing 16 ties.

a tie is phallic therefore I’m wearing 16 phalluses.

16 pointies sticking out is kinda daunting like shark teeth.

this crossed with a sign at the dentist: use it or lose it. don’t use your teeth right, you lose them.

considered then if you use them a lot, do you get a new set. if you use it a lot you get more.

what if by using your phallus a lot you grew more. that’d be like shark teeth rows continually growing new ones.

that may end up being every bit as surrreal.

Ah…surrealism in the blogging world! Well, sharks are phallic…and ties…and sonnets with 16 lines? My best guess.

Ties are phallic, I thought that was a given. @Pearl “I’m a funny looking beasty since i just write 16 of them. Sort of like rotating forward phallic shark teeth?” Huh?

Stephen Colbert rocks my world. And your number 13 – is G-spot on in my opinion.

>And yes, ties ARE phallic. And a sonnet is like wearing a tie.
Interesting Mara. I’d agree on the first. I’m a funny looking beasty since i just write 16 of them. Sort of like rotating forward phallic shark teeth?

Gotta love Steve Colbert.
No computer might aid my writing for sure. More sailing, less puttering. I’ve had 2 weeks off of my routine of a morning of pencil only. For the worst I fear. All one can do is try and see.
Yes, short energies. It’d be maddening if getting mad didn’t leech away energies faster. Seems unsolvable sometimes. Laughing is a good use tho.

It is the insert key that is the culprit, Colleen. And yes, ties ARE phallic. And a sonnet is like wearing a tie.

I agree with you about the hand written letters, and I try not to let the tea party thing ruin tea for me.

I’m so tired of the way the health care thing is getting messed with.
Enjoy your Thursday!

Okay. Funny, that uploaded to youtube worked fine before. I do think my hands slip too easily while typing, like Sky suggested, and that I inadvertently start the option for chewing previous words as I type. When it happens I reboot and that takes care of it (the slow route).

Re: computer issues, it does sound like a security thing.
Try this: in your Internet Explorer, go to tools, Internet Options, Privacy, Sites, and then scroll down your “managed websites” and see if youtube has been blocked. If it has, remove it from the list.
Not sure about the other issue with Word.
I don’t think that I will ever go to a tea party again.

to #11 – the “chewing up letters as i type thing” has happened to me while using my email client, and i held down shift and control or alt and control (sorry can’t remember which, but play with it and see which works) and typed once. it stopped. hubby told me the fix, and it worked. that manuever undid whatever key i had pressed in error which started the ball rolling! he is sleeping now or i would ask. something similar happened in the past when i was typing – it seems i had inadvertently hit the delete key without knowing. i pressed the delete key, and it stopped. try both fixes and see what happens. good luck.
sorry have no idea about the uploading to you tube unless it has something to do with the settings regarding the security of the site on your PC. check out your security settings. this is just a WILD GUESS on my part. remind me and i will ask hubby for his suggestions if you don’t resolve it (he is a microsoft manager and is usually very successful in resolution.) my comments are moderated, so just leave me a comment which i won’t publish and include your email address and i will be happy to try to help.
about the tea parties – it has ruined it for all of us who don’t agree with the insanity.
