The French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre was sitting in a cafe when a waitress approached him: "Can I get you something to drink, Monsieur Sartre?"Sartre replied, "Yes, I`d like a cup of coffee with sugar, but no cream" .Nodding agreement, the waitress walked off to fill the order and Sartre returned to working. A few minutes later, however, the waitress returned and said, "I`m sorry, Monsieur Sartre, we are all out of cream -- how about with no milk?"

Hope today is slower. At least it isn't freezing rain and snow like it was yesterday. A few days of dry roads and it seems everyone forgets how to drive, then a bit of ice and snow and its bumper cars all day.

jubilant; joy, satisfaction, or triumph.

 

Been playing Skyrim again and after all the times I have played, the game finally let me play all the way through "Blood on the Ice" without crashing, glitching or being plain weird. I even saved the girl from the murderer because I have the quick shot perk for archery. Strange how something as meaningless as finishing a quest in a game can cause a smile on one's face.

Having taken a break from Skyim and all RPG's..am having much fun playing Rome Total War 2. Just finished a victorious battle with a neophyte Roman Legion Decimating ( to slaughter) four Carthaginian armies with minimal losses. I do enjoy near run things where the outcome is in doubt at the outset.

elision; dropping a sound or syllable in a word - as in saying lib-ary instead of library, fam-ly instead of family, etc.

Wandered through the thread and never realized how multifarious (having great diversity or variety) it was.

This thread is whatever we decide it is, it has long since ceased being laser focused but rather has an Omnifuntionality....(multilayer quality of purpose)
