Visited from outer space? I hardly think so- but there are people who believe differently, or as I should perhaps more properly say, otherwise.

Otherwise we will have to go visiting the outer planets in a Hitchhikers' Guide odyssey. No, better that we wait until they come and see us on our Lonely Planet.

Planet Hollywood? I think I'd rather go to that soul food place in Brighton.

Brighton is where my goddaughter is going to university. She has been a prison officer for the past two years, which I think is remarkable.

Remarakble how easy it is be misunderstood in cyber-space. You never know how people are going to take something, even that which you perceive to be completely innocuous. It can be rather disconcerting when you are misinterpreted, don't you think?

Think positively, that's the ticket. It's easy to be misunderstood, and a bit disconcerting when it happens, I agree.

Agree with that, McTag. It's also not so important if you are misunderstood in cyberspace because you can choose never to talk to that person again, which is kind of difficult if it's your father-in-law or your next-door neighbour.

"Neighbour" - is that how you spell it there across the pond? Speaking of which, we just got a new one across the street. Hubby says I must stay away because he's cute!

Cute neighbours are a bonus. I was pleasantly surprised by a cute but dangerous-looking young neighbour with bald head and earring and tanktop helped me carry my bags to the car - a true pussycat!

Pussycat, pussycat, I've got flowers
And lots of hours to spend with you....
So sang Tom Jones in a really really stupid song which frankly I've never liked. Lots of ladies would like Tom Jones as a neighbour though- and how else would you spell it?

Spell it: neighbor, here in the states. Such a funny quirk is spelling!

Spelling is many an intelligent person's downfall. Apparently dyslexia is due to a smoothed-out sulcus on the brain surface which in preliterate societies was of very little importance, merely making certain colours less distinguishable.

Distinguishable is an adjective I'd use to describe the cry of the bittern. There is nothing else like it on God's green earth.

Earthlink says that it provides anti-popup software, yet we are getting popups every 5 min that say something terminal is happening to our hard disk.
How can this be allowed to happen?

Happen to you? Do you have a pop-up blocker? If you do, it should be doing the trick.

Trick is, to remember what we were talking about. Sometimes I forget.

Forget to look at your pm's McTag? I wrote to you yesterday suggesting lunch today but you appear not to have received it.

It's much too late for lunch now. I'm guessing you're either 'Sleepless in Totnes' or abed. (It's about 8 pm here, & I think you're 5 hrs. (?) ahead.

Ahead of eastern or central? I'm in eastern. I can't keep it all straight either. I lived in Japan for a bit and could never remember what time it was in Atlanta, where my family lives. What's worse is that they don't have daylight savings time over there either. I could never get it right.

I think jet lag is one of the strangest phenomena a person can experience without some kind of mind-altering drug.

I think mind-altering drugs beat the hell out of jetlag. (no matter what time you think it is)
