Who's reading gingersoul (407):

I like this concept: freecycling.

I give you something and you give me something in exchange. Free. Just because you happen to have what i need and i happen to have what you were looking for.

In my city years ago my feminist group opened The Time Bank. Since time is the most precious thing a woman can ask if she is a working parent, any woman of the association would give something to teh other in shape of time. One was offering  one hour of her time to babysit another woman's kids and in change this woman would have accompanied her somewhere or driven her or would have done grocery for her.

The possibility were really endless. I checked lately: the Time Bank is still on.

The concept is helping each other. Creating a network of people who doesn't ask money for their services and can have help without having to paid..

I love this idea.

So what would you want from another person?

An if a Scasters would ask you something what would you ask in change?

Right now i would like to have Kruu's apartment in Prague. She can have my home in Italy or something else from me. Kruu, just ask.....lol... 

Or i would like Moon's ability to draw Avatars......you too Moon can ask me something else in exchange......take it easy....lol...

Interested?

    oh I like this idea... I will have to come back when I think of something! :)
  • botoni said on Jul 31, 2007....
    I ve got a real hankering for Pickersplocks Thursday tiara. I can trade a used dishwasher still working but questionable and recently dead washing machine that would make a lovely living room ornament with a bit of ingenuity.
    On a serious note. There is an online freecycle system. Only posts allowed on it are items offered for free or seeking for free. Just enter your city and freecyle.ca....you ll find results in most cities throughout Canada and the USofA.
  • pickersplock said on Jul 31, 2007....
    I must think on this Botoni.  I know, I'll give you my tiara, if you'll enter the 53rd Annual Syracuse Ballroom Dancing Competition with, me as your partner.  I can see it now!  You and I, dancing together like Fred and Ginger...........NO, you can't wear your thong!
  • botoni said on Jul 31, 2007....
    Oh dear Pickers. You may want to reconsider. My dancing equals my singing. IT would be much like Ginger Rogers and Freddie Freeloader.
  • pickersplock said on Jul 31, 2007....
    You want the tiara, buster, you dance!
    Oh, that was fun nee!
  • gingersoul said on Jul 31, 2007....

    Mirror...you could have ask me some ideas......i would have wanted your kittie in exchange (so i can really name her Bella).....lol...

    Bottie.......i know you lost your heart for Picker's tiara....i think Pickers' exchange request is more than doable...come on...just let her guide....follow the music and go ..and the tiara wil be yours!

    Picker.....you are right....no dance, no tiara.......

    Psst: in case he agrees take a video. I dont want miss this one!

  • gingersoul said on Jul 31, 2007....
    Bot.....yes, i know about the online version.....great concept!
  • botoni said on Jul 31, 2007....
    Pickers and Botty are headed for fame! I can see the headlines. The Beauty and the bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbotty. The tiara shall be mine! I ve got my best sneakers polished already. uhhh.....who gets to flip the boa?
  • the_infernal_optimist said on Jul 31, 2007....
    Boa-flipping? I have to see this new act! :-D

    I think I want to hear Ed sing. ;-) I've no idea what I have to offer in return - voice/personality rendered as I see it synesthetically?

    I can also offer the loan of a cute but tantrum-y toddler and/or a rather hefty baby for a week, if anyone's interested. ;-) They make cute photo props and are instant conversation starters. :-D

  • hotaka said on Aug 01, 2007....
    That is tough because I can't think of anything I want... hmm... thinking...

    I got it! Anyone living in Australia, Iceland, South Africa, China, the U.K., the Western U.S., New Zealand, and uh... anywhere else except Japan, let me stay at your place for a week so I can roam about sightseeing and photographing and you can stay with me for a week in Japan. I might even take you around some places if my schedule allows.
  • destinydiva said on Aug 01, 2007....
    I'm with hotaka....  I think it would be good to trade homes for a week....anyone live in Indiana??  I live in a nice part of England!!  :-)

  • fearing said on Aug 01, 2007....
    I'll trade month somewhere like Paris, Prague, England, Japan and Skald's beautiful Iceland for a month in a small, southern town in the U.S.  It's great here.  I'll even give up a month of my work so you can go for me to a preschool and play with kids 3 hours a day.  Then come home, do a few chores, pick up kids from school, homework, play, dinner, and get the kids ready for bed.  The American dream.....
    Any takers?
  • pickersplock said on Aug 01, 2007....
    Destiny, I'll let you wear my Tuesday Tiara, if I can visit you in England.  We must pop in and visit Polar, of course.
  • Mamie said on Aug 01, 2007....
    okay, this is cool. I am usually pretty good at solving dilemmas...so if anyone has a prob. that they want to PM me, I will give it a good psych workover and see if we can shed some light on it. As for the receiving end...I will let the other person name their price...:))
  • kruuyai said on Aug 01, 2007....
    ginger:  It's a deal!  My apartment in Prague for yours in Italy.  Mine comes with two handsome pirates.  What does yours come with? ;-)
  • moonriver said on Aug 01, 2007....
    ginger -- i get the principle behind freecycling. there are many such formal and informal arrangements along this principle.

    i'm not sure though whether the idea is to suggest only those exchanges that are really doable, or to include even those that we can only fantasize about. (imo, the distinction is important... you know me... lol)

    something doable for me at this point: help you expand your computer skills (yes, including how to make avatars).

    what do i ask in exchange? .... ((thinks... and thinks... and thinks like a kid in a candy store)) give me 24 hrs to fantasize first, i didn't realize this was so hard...lol.

  • queenparanoia said on Aug 01, 2007....
    this is a great idea ginger!!! =) i'll come back later... acn't think of anything ti give yet... =)
  • Mamie said on Aug 01, 2007....
    Oh, thanks Friend, for reminding me that I forgot my request on the receiving end...I am looking for someone to pray for my nephew...he is really lost and on a weird path in his life...thanks in advance to whomever wants to play....
  • gingersoul said on Aug 01, 2007....

    Good morning to everybody!

    I knew the smarter ones would have jump on the wagon and figure out how to use this tool.....lol...

    KruuKruu.....we have only to define the terms.....two pirates, you said? Lovely. Mine comes with a cat (i knwo you love cats) named Bruce, a beach at exactly 50 steps, a coffee espresso machine, a lovely lady (my mom) who will cook for you deliciosu meals anytime you will say " I am hungry". You can even call her grandma. 

    Moon.....LOLOL....think, my dear Moon, think......;-).....endless possibilities.....

    Mamie ......problem solver? Ok, you will figure out how to fix everything in my life in order to move definetely in Italy and in exchange i will ask to my one of very religious friend to pray for you nephew. She is right now at Lourdes for a week of volunteering and spiritual meditation. Do you like the exchange?

    I am sorry for him and for you worried for him {{hugs}} 

    Hottie........i am pouting....you didnt ask for my country....:-(

    Too bad....i would have loved to give you a week there (after Kruu staying) to spend a week in Japan......too bad.....

  • gingersoul said on Aug 01, 2007....

    Infernal......lol......Ed singing? What a unique request...and Bottie flipping his boa......are you trying to do a comedy act?....

    Destiny...i am sorry....i dont live in Indiana and i dont even know anybody in Indiana. We wil pass your request around though....there must be a way...;-)

    Fearing.....nice swap....i bet Skald will be interested..she loves kids ....lets see what she thinks about it....

    Picker.....oh, you and your tiara....that sucker will make you travel around the world.....lol....

    Queen...hey, wait...i give you one of the best Italian pizza if you give one of your halo halo....you made me drooling only reading about it...deal? Or...do i have to add some cute Italian guy?......lol...

  • kruuyai said on Aug 01, 2007....
    ginger: Sounds absolutely delicious... but I'm not sure your mom would appreciate me calling her nonna.  I'm sure I'm older than you, and maybe closer to her age!  :)
  • MissMimi said on Aug 01, 2007....

    I think I would ask Botty to hold my hand during a conversation I need to have with the two people dearest to me in the whole world.  What can I give you, Botty?

    I spend a lot of time alone, and it's difficult for me to get out and about on my own.  I would ask any SC-er who would like to, to send me a PM every now and then just to say hello.  In return I will be your cheerleader, your friend, and a friendly voice here at SC.  I know this probably sounds dumb...

  • botoni said on Aug 01, 2007....
    MissMimi Love......Being with you and holding your hand for that particular conversation would be more than enough reward for me. Just remember that when you do have it I m there right beside you in spirit and feeling really priveledged.
  • queenparanoia said on Aug 01, 2007....
    deal!!!! =)
  • uniquely-ironic said on Aug 01, 2007....
    Oohhh!  Fun stuff!  Let me in on it.
     
    I would love some cheer leading and hand holding for the next few days while I finish off this crappy relationship and make a very scarey move.
     
    I'm not sure what I can offer in return.  I would be happy to offer my services as a prolific afghan maker.
  • botoni said on Aug 01, 2007....
    Where does one buy prolific to make afghans? Is it a common commodity? Are there special uses for prolific afghans? WE need more information unique. I m a good hand holder so I m up for that part.
  • gingersoul said on Aug 01, 2007....

    Kruu.....lol......my mom is used to be called gramdma by almost everybody...all my friends after a while start to call her nonna, not mentioning all their kids, even the two sales girls at her shop after few montsh asked her to be adopted by her...she will love you to call her nonna, i am sure...

    Then i think you need some homey time, my friend, somebody who can take care of you. Just a little bit. And then you will be able to roam the world again ...{hug}

    Mimi.....i am sending you a PM right now...and i just ask you to keep being the great Mimi that you are ...{{hugs}}.....

    Unique......afghan maker? uhmm...i am fascinated by Middle East...i would love to have one of them...in exchange i can give you my support and my suggestions....i have made quite a few scary moves in my life already ...or i might give you private Italian lessons...or the secret recipe of my mom's Xmas cookie.....you pick.....:-)  

    Queen......i knew it!!! :-D

  • gingersoul said on Aug 01, 2007....
    Bot..... i am with you in asking Unique more details about those afhgans ..:-)
  • kruuyai said on Aug 01, 2007....
    ginger:  I'm there already....
    Meanwhile, I'll tell Pegleg and Sinbad to heat up a pot of TLC for you, too!

  • buckrogers said on Aug 01, 2007....
    In legal parlance, giving and receiving is called quid pro quo.  Sharing equally makes you a decent human being.  Unfortunately, we live in a society where merit is given to self-serving jerks, using cut-throat tactics to make a profit.  It's nice to see people helping one another and becoming more civilized. 
  • gingersoul said on Aug 01, 2007....

    KruuKruu......perfect!...:{{hugs}}}...oh, and leave me a dictionary for translations...

    Buckrogers...thank you for stopping by and nice to meet you......yes, quid pro quo. This freecycling can be also referred as Do ut des....i give, that you might give... 

    And i couldn't agree more with you about the wrong values this society is based on.....so......dont you have anything to ask and to give?.... :-)

  • uniquely-ironic said on Aug 01, 2007....

    Bot and Ginger - Okay, up for swapping is a hand crocheted lap afghan approximately 50" in length.  It will take me a few days to make and mail, but it will provide hours of "cuddle on the couch" time.  I will let you pick the colors, since it is not made yet.

    In exchange I will need someone to tell me I'm not crazy and that I can do this living on my own thing.  Mostly moral support for a soon to be neurotic soulcaster.  I will need positive feedback to help rebuild my battered self confidence.

  • the_infernal_optimist said on Aug 01, 2007....
    Ginger, I guess it does sound like a comedy routine! :-D

    I thought of something else I can offer to anyone interested - I'm pretty Photoshop-savvy, so I could teach you several tricks for photo editing/retouching and for making "glitter," etc. for things like forum signatures.

    Gotta have mad skills to make the posters for the comedy act, you know! ;-)

  • Mamie said on Aug 01, 2007....
    ooooh, yay, the choices here are so gooooood! Yes, GS, I will help you figure out a way to get to Italy full time, need the details of why you think you can't soul sister!!
    LOVE the exchange of prayers at Lourdes....humbly, I thank you.
     
    I am free to lend a hand always, who needs a chat? I am ready!!
     
    @UI: I am gonna drop by for a visit...I have been known to prop people up when they need with all my strength...and will push you up with my hands AND feet if need be!!
    love to all, Mamie
    teehee, that was funny, I accidentally typed my real name...feel like I know you all...:))
  • kruuyai said on Aug 01, 2007....
    ginger:  ha ha... with these guys, you'll have more fun using body language!  :)  Enjoy.
  • skald said on Aug 01, 2007....
    Ginger you are wonderful. I like the time club.
    Now Kruu says you can have her apartment and two pirates. I will be looking for your answer to her. lol
  • Me-Myself&I said on Aug 01, 2007....

    What a great post...so cool! It reminded me of how old country doctors did. Heal the sick and get a basket of eggs in return...lol.

    To do that now a days is wonderful!

    DESTINY- want to come to the USA, i live in Indiana, be glad to exchange homes for a week. You may get the bunt end of the stick because i live in a small country town. **smile**

  • gingersoul said on Aug 01, 2007....

    Unique.......from what i have been reading about you, you strike me as a woman with a great personality, witty, generous, funny and upfront, with curiosity and honesty. You have all the cards to play this game of yours. I myself am playing alone and each day is a struggle. Self esteem is a frail thing and there are days in which i cant find any in myself. Those are the dark days. If you feel this is the time to change, then change. Its going to be damn hard and painful. But you will end up stronger...{{hugs}}.

    Infernal.... LOL...all the details are coming together... i see..... Ed singing, Bot strutting his stuff, a beautiful background that you will make. Can i suggest to contact Mirror for another comedy act?. She is absolutely hilarious....lol...

    Mamie......Mamie.....i am so glad to read you so often now....{hug}...thank you for accepting the exchange......:-)

    KruuKruu... ..uh uh....this exchange promises to turn in something really interesting now.........two pirates fond of body language? Girl, are you tempting me in Prague? Tell Pegleg and Sinbad i am coming!!...LOL...

    Skald....thank you, my Iceland lady......do you like my answer to Kruu? 

    Me-My.......i am glad you like it.....and i bet Destiny is going to jump on your offer as soon as she reads it......that would be great for her....

    I am imagining if we could REALLY go ahead and materialize all our good intentions....It could be the beginning of a new Soulcast movement ....:-) 

  • truthsayer said on Aug 01, 2007....
    Mamie, I am willing to pray for your nephew.  PM me.  I have plenty of problems you can work on ; )  And I won't be mad if you can't figure them out either : P 
     
    I need customers for two of my businesses ; )  Any takers? : )  I do free friendly spiritual things for people (ministry things, but some of them, the world would call by different names), and I also write, do public speaking, teach and do all sorts of communication consulting.  We are working towards having cabins on our 310 acres.  We need ideas and people to help around here...naturalists, etc.  Exchanges are great!  Thanks everyone.  Great post to see just before church tonight! 
     
    Seriously GingerSoul...I told them this at my church one week and everyone thought it was a great idea!  I haven't heard of any exchanges yet though : )
     
    Mamie:  I am going to church tonight, I don't know his name, but God does.
     
    Don't forget to PM me though, it really helps me get a feel for them and focus my prayers.
     
    Blessings to all. 
     
    Great post GingerSoul!!!
     
    Lovin' all of ya'

  • gingersoul said on Aug 01, 2007....

    Truth........if my friend Niki could read your comment she would simply look at me and say "Dont i always tell you that God's ways are endless?".

    I would then look at her and i would say "My friend, lets simply call it communion of moral values".

    She, knowing me, would give her serious look and say:

    "You will see it one day or another one and i will be there beside you and be happy for you".

    So, dear Truthsayer, this girl is amused by the fact you find her post meaningful enough as an inspiration for a sermon. I hope the concept will eventually reach your fellow church goers. 

    Thank you.

  • pickersplock said on Aug 01, 2007....
    I want to visit you too, Ginger!
  • gingersoul said on Aug 01, 2007....
    Picker......you can come anytime you want......and i would like to have your telescope for one night ....i miss watching the stars upclose.....:-) 
  • pickersplock said on Aug 01, 2007....

    Okay, but you'll have to put it back together.  The boys dismantled it recently.  They were trying to make a rocket or something.

  • gingersoul said on Aug 01, 2007....
    Girl, i have no idea how to put a telescope together...... ok, ok.....i will try....but dont get mad at me if i turn it in something else  ....:-)
  • mirrorimage said on Aug 01, 2007....
    Ginger, the kitten is yours without anyting in return! LOL I made cake and cupcakes with my boys today and left it on the counter to finish cooling and she licked the icing off the whole side of the cake!!! I knew it was her because my son wanted jungle green icing......ARGGGHHHH! :)
     
    I would like to be able to tell stories with the vivid details that make us feel like we are there experiencing it....like you. Would that be a fair trade? LOL
  • gingersoul said on Aug 01, 2007....

    Mirror....LOL..too funny...my Bella kittie is a naughty girl....lol..she likes the icing on the cake.....

    Thank you so much for the compliments.....{hugs}...a kittie for a story? Its more than fair...:-)

  • kruuyai said on Aug 01, 2007....
    ginger:  They're ready for you any time you want... just be sure to return them undamaged.  lol

    skald:  Something tells me you want to be next in line for that pirate fantasy vacation!  :)
  • jadestar said on Aug 02, 2007....

    I want wombat's sense of humour & botoni's.......not sure what I could give in return....................
  • moonriver said on Aug 02, 2007....
    ginger -- ok, my 24 hrs is almost up, and i'm done fantasizing anyway. here's something doable in exchange for my computer skills (including graphic and video aspects of it). i hope you're ready for this...

    allow me to be your bodyguard-driver-housekeeper for one year. right there where you are right now. hereabouts, we call it a "food-for-work" scheme. i know the equation is a bit lopsided, but hey, i think it's in your favor.

    pls sign on the dotted line if interested.

    ...............................................................................................
    PRINTED NAME AND SIGNATURE



    memyself -- there's an indigenous scheme that's similar to your "doc-will-cure-for-eggs" scheme. this one for example.

  • destinydiva said on Aug 02, 2007....
    mamie~ I might take you up on that.... pm my life to you ....I need sorting !!!  :-)
    pickers ~ your welcome anytime
    memy&I ~ you do.... wow! I could come over and you could mind the kids whilst I get to know trav :-)  and you of course xx what would you like in return? I'm only joking bout minding the kids...but I am excited that when I do make it to Indiana. we could maybe get together???
    ginger~ thank you :-) this is a great post :-)

    Destiny xx
  • Me-Myself&I said on Aug 02, 2007....
    Destiny-  I would show you the time of your life, show you how hillbilly, country folks get on down. We'd get a couple of 4 wheelers and a cooler filled with??? and off we go. End up at the river to watch the sun go down. Sounds good? Kids are welcome!!
  • destinydiva said on Aug 02, 2007....
    wow memy&I I cant wait...I'll make it there one day...I promise :-)

  • gingersoul said on Aug 02, 2007....

    KruuKruu....LOL..undamaged? Nahh...out of question......if they are part of the package i will dispose of them as i like....oh, poor, poor pirates....*wink*

    Skald.....between your fairies and Kruu's pirates we can make a new Disney's movie...lol....

    Jade...great minds think alike....:-D

    Moon..its already signed and mailed back to you. We have only to take care of the small details.....i think i am the one benefiting the most from this exchange........a warrior-poet-computer savvy-werewolf-asian monkey as my bodyguard-housekeeper?....I am in Paradise....lol....

  • gingersoul said on Aug 02, 2007....
    Destiny and MeMy.......it wouldn't be great if you two would make it real? I am rooting for you........Good luck!....:-)
  • kruuyai said on Aug 02, 2007....
    ginger:  LOL... I'll have to give Pegleg and Sinbad extra meals to fortify their strength before you get here.  Tonight, they're getting strawberries and Hungarian Merlot to put them in the right mood for your visit.  Let's just hope that they don't get so into each other that they forget you're there.  You'll have to dream up something special to get their attention.  :)
  • gingersoul said on Aug 02, 2007....

    KruuKruu....are you imply they are bixesual? Even more intriguing ......lol....I like you feeding them for me  ...strawberries and red wine, you are nicely paving the road, thank you.

    I dont think i will have any problem coming up with something to catch their attention......not at all...

    How do you say in Hungarian "Lets this party started?" ....:-D 

  • kruuyai said on Aug 02, 2007....
    ginger:  LOL... my dear, you have some reading to get caught up on!  Haha, I've been entertaining triangular shaped fantasies for weeks (until Jolly Roger came into view, then they became rectangular for a while, and then I just forgot about the two live-in pirates, and now I'm back to them again)! 

    But I'm sure you'll find a way to catch their attention.  BTW, Sinbad is awfully fond of kissing hands, and he's got the sweetest, softest lips.....  sigh, where is that boy?  Gotta go look for him.  :)
  • moonriver said on Aug 02, 2007....
    ginger -- whew, that was a quick deal... but don't forget, dearie, the devil is in the details... apart from wearing prada hahaha.

  • botoni said on Aug 02, 2007....
    Jadestar....You need to know that my sense of humor comes with a warning. People tend to retaliate.....lovely things like an office filled with pink floating feathers or a beautiful set of matching tie and socks....yellow and black ties with one yellow and one black sock. You can have my sense of humor!
    Kruu and Ginger.......When you get around to it both of you should see the movie I Now Prounounce You Larry and Harry. There is a very clear explianation in it about triangle...................hehehe.
  • kruuyai said on Aug 02, 2007....
    botoni:  Now there's a movie I'm sure I never would have heard about without your intervention, dear one!  :)  
  • gingersoul said on Aug 02, 2007....

    Moon.....duh....i couldn't let this offer expire...could I?....And i am perfecly aware about the danger of the details....there will lay our fun....:-D  

    KruKruu....so you set me up? It was a trap! You lady....Thank you very much....

    Well, as they say....."when the game turns though only the though ones play".

    I will succeed...and Bottie will help me ...will you, Bot?

    Botbabe......my daughter asked me to watch it...is it ok for a 12 y-o? 

  • truthsayer said on Aug 02, 2007....

    Hey GingerSoul:

    The church has been "trying" to remember how to do this since sometime after the first century!  It is called "sharing" and giving all that you have (fishes and loaves) so that everyone has what they need, and there will be left-overs to boot!

    You may not believe this, but I was just lead by the Holy Spirit to study this, again...this morning!  So, I have a scripture for you, if you are interested in where this freecycling is mentioned in the Bible:  Isaiah 58:6-12, especially for you : )

    I think I would like to meet your friend Niki : )  Thank you for listening to her, so that you could encourage me now : )  Yes, you and Niki are both right...God's ways are endless!  Thanks for reminding me when I needed it!

    Blessings and best wishes!

    truthsayer

  • kruuyai said on Aug 02, 2007....
    ginger:  I set you up?  Only for the experience of a lifetime!  You'll love these guys, and they'll love you!  I promise!  And Bottie will help you, indeed... he's been a'hankerin' to get after those two pirates for quite some time now.  :)  You may get your rectangular weekend after all.  
  • botoni said on Aug 02, 2007....
    kruu & ginger.....I d be most priveledged to assist with the project.
    ginger.....I personally would let a 12 year old watch that movie. There are a few racy bits in it and there are non frontal nudes. My kids would have been fine with it at 12 but everyone has a different opinion. I draw lines around blood and gore....none of that. It might raise some questions about sexuality but sometimes its good to have a mother/daughter chat about those things anyway.
  • gingersoul said on Aug 02, 2007....

    Truth.....my friend would love to meet you too, i am absolutely sure about this. You two would have long "holy" conversations.....once in a while pointing at my direction and shaking your head...lol..

    Thank you for your alwasy nice comments..i really appreciate them...:-)

    KruuKruu....rectangular week end?  Oh, wow...things in Prague are getting superhot......did you already provide Bottie with a physical descriptions of these two pirates?

    Bot...ok, i will let her watch it...i had a sense it was nothign bad for her.... and she and i have no problems in talking about sexuality...having her Italian cousin openly gay helped her understanding even better.....she is crazy about him.....i am with you about movies...i hate only violence and stupidity.....

    Mamie.....thank you again, my dear.....{hugs}

    SW.....this is going to be really interesting...so you and Infernal will have a karoke nite here on SC? ....who picks the first song? .....

    {ginger grabs a chair and a glass of wine}

    I am ready when you two are ready...lol...

  • the_infernal_optimist said on Aug 03, 2007....
    I was afraid of that, Ed.

    ginger: You might want a good set of earplugs for my part. Either that, or get realllllly drunk first. :-D

    Have I mentioned lately how GOOD it is to have you back? :)

    ~Infernal
  • gingersoul said on Aug 03, 2007....

    Infernal......LOL..i cant believe you are so bad as you say......come on....give yourself more credit......

    {ginger is passing some wine to infernal, just in case}

    I bet my place in the popular list that Ed-Troutsmacker doesn't even know how to follow the simplest tune...i must have to ask LJ...

    Thank you, my dear...its good to be back here...{hug}.

  • silverwhisper said on Aug 03, 2007....
    infernal: well....duh! :D

    GS: if someone took you up on that bet, you'd lose, my dear. :>

    ed
  • gingersoul said on Aug 03, 2007....

    SW.......oh no....really? But then......how would we know it? How could we hear your in tune singing voice?  Ok, i believe you....just because its Friday and i am really in a good mood.....;-)

    You got that, Infernal?

  • silverwhisper said on Aug 03, 2007....
    well, i might exchange phone numbers with infernal, in which case, you shall have to take her word for it. :>

    ed
  • gingersoul said on Aug 03, 2007....

    This is clever idea....but then...... why should i believe Infernal? What if the two of you sign a pact?

    Look in what kind of amletic maze we got into....lol....

    Are we discussing the fundamental of trust in SC here or your flexible uvula?....LOL...

     

  • silverwhisper said on Aug 03, 2007....
    why GS, what reason do you have to believe that my uvula is flexible?

    [looks innocent]

    ed
  • the_infernal_optimist said on Aug 03, 2007....
    ginger: I suppose if SC pressure were enough to sway him, you might convince Ed to videotape some random wall (since he'll never post his picture ;-)) whilst singing, and upload it via OneTrueMedia or even YouTube, though I cringe at the thought of how long that'd take with dial-up, even if it didn't get interrupted.

    You should believe Ed, ginger - I've no way to know (yet), but he could probably sing rings around most people. Call it a well-tuned hunch. ;-)

    Ed: That look isn't fooling anyone, you know. ;-)

    ~Infernal
  • the_infernal_optimist said on Aug 03, 2007....
    Gah, I didn't even hit the button twice. Silly SC.

  • silverwhisper said on Aug 03, 2007....
    infernal: why, i don't know what you mean by that, missy... :p

    ed
  • gingersoul said on Aug 03, 2007....

    But, dear Ed, that is exactly my point.

    I dont have any reason to believe your uvula is flexible....well, darn if this word isnt sexy.....uvula..doesn't remind you of vulva? Funny English word....lol...

    Back to singing..

    Infernal......oh no....he is not fooling anybody...him and his uvula......maybe its his trout that has a vulva..

    Ed.....do you happen to knwo if your trout is female or male?

  • silverwhisper said on Aug 04, 2007....
    OK, now i'm confuzzled. ?

    um...i don't know if my trout are male or female...

    [looks sheepish]

    ed
  • gingersoul said on Aug 04, 2007....
    Ed....well...give it a look...simple like that......:-D
  • silverwhisper said on Aug 04, 2007....
    that's OK, i'll just keep my attention focused on the fins. :p

    ed
  • kruuyai said on Aug 04, 2007....
    ginger:  I believe I did... and just for your edification... and bottie's... Pegleg was looking absolutely ravishing yesterday..  He came in in his bathrobe while I was getting my Turkish HC guest settled in, and he must have just dried off from his weekly bath, because he didn't have the bandana on his head, and his hair looked great.  I wanted to jump him right then and there.  And he was in such a jolly mood, I'll bet he would have been a lot of fun.  But, I had a guest, and one must behave oneself, musn't one?   I'll make sure no one pops in on you unexpectedly during your stay unless they're willing to join in the fun and games!  :)
  • gingersoul said on Aug 04, 2007....

    Ed......oh, but fins can be very distracting....;-)

    KruuKruu...damn, woman...its Saturday morning......a lazy one....my bed is still all messed up and i too have had a shower ....still dripping water here ....

    uhmm, Pegleg and i would look just great against my blue and white sheets......LOL....But i am a good friend and i will let you play with him until i arrive...

    Bandana? Oh, my......did i really  find my Hungarian Johnny Depp?  

    Bottie will have to take care of Sinbad...i dont think he is going to complain...:-D

  • kruuyai said on Aug 04, 2007....
    ginger:  Well, at least you've found your Czech Johnny Depp... although truth be told, Sinbad is more Deppish than Pegleg.  My suggestion... on arrival, get Pegleg into the tub and give him a good once over... you'll enjoy the weekend oh so much more, my dear.  Either that, or plan to arrive on Saturday night, when he's just had his weekly wash.  :)
  • botoni said on Aug 04, 2007....
    Kruu and Ginger.....I have a lovely steel brush for just such occasions.
  • kruuyai said on Aug 04, 2007....
    Ouch!
  • gingersoul said on Aug 04, 2007....

    KruuKruu......oh, then i keep Sinbad.....sorry Bottie....you know my weakness for that sucker...lol.....

    But now i am getting a little concerned about hygiene....once a week???

    Bottie.....i think we  will have to put your brush to work as soon as we arrive there.....we can swap boys in the tub...until they are squeaky clean ...:-D

  • kruuyai said on Aug 04, 2007....
    ginger:  Yeah, but he washes up real nice!  lol... that's why I said you should give him a good scrubbing on arrival. Of course, I'll get him as ready as possible before I leave for Italia.  You and bottie will have lots of fun in the tub with those two lil' pirate boys.  Hmm, I'm thinking about sticking around.  :)
  • gingersoul said on Aug 04, 2007....

    KruuKruu.......yes, stay...we are going to have so much "fun".....me and Bottie might need some translation after all....;-)

     

  • Bosun said on Aug 04, 2007....

    I sometimes traded favors in the Navy. But usually to sew buttons or rate patches on uniforms or tying lanyards I'd charge a buck or two.

  • kruuyai said on Aug 04, 2007....
    ginger:  It's going to be a PARTY!  You and bottie bring Gilligan along, too, okay?  I've always had a little crush on him.  :)
  • gingersoul said on Aug 04, 2007....

    Bosun......one buck to sew buttons....humm..its still doable...but it gives you honor that you also exchanged favors....i guess in a tight enviroment as the Navy the group dynamics were different.

    KruuKruu....again with Gilligan? I barely know that show.....why do we have to bring him along? Why did you have a crush on him, btw? 

  • kruuyai said on Aug 05, 2007....
    ginger: Haha... well, on second thought, I doubt if he'd fit in with this crew.... a regular sailor amongst pirates... nahh, just bring Captain Jack Sparrow, and I'll be happy.  I think I had a crush on him because he was just a shy guy... awkward with women... just like Jolly... lol.... hmmmmm, I think I've gotta work on changing my taste in men.  :)
  • kruuyai said on Aug 05, 2007....
    And, hey... at least I didn't mention David Spade!  :p
  • silverwhisper said on Aug 05, 2007....
    :D
  • gingersoul said on Aug 05, 2007....
    No, David Spade no!!!!!!
  • kruuyai said on Aug 05, 2007....
    LOL..... now, I really got you upset.  Just by mentioning the name!  Notice I said that I wasn't mentioning him?  We've got enough hotties between Pegleg, Sinbad, bottie and Captain Jack... I think we've got things pretty well covered, don't you?
  • botoni said on Aug 05, 2007....
    oh dear Kruu.....my ego just kicked in! How is it that bottie is the only lower case? Have I a different status?......hehehhe
  • kruuyai said on Aug 05, 2007....
    botoni:  No, my dear, you don't have a different status.  You put yourself in lower case, and I just followed your example.  :)
  • gingersoul said on Aug 05, 2007....

    KruuKruu....i got sweaty palms only thinking about all of them......oh, the things that we could do....so you are planning on staying. right?......I mean.....Roma is the Eternal City...it will be there anytime you want to visit...but those two pirates...

    i am checking my ticket online right now.......lol...

    Bottie......i bet you will "rise" your case as soon as we will be there....*wink*...ehehehe 

  • botoni said on Aug 05, 2007....
    Kruu......THAT explains it!......LOL
    Ginger......I ll definately consider examining the case!....hehehehe
  • kruuyai said on Aug 05, 2007....
    ginger:  Oh yeah, I'm staying!  I wouldn't miss this for the world!  Pegleg just served me up a beautiful little snack tray tonight complete with the French cheese that his mom dropped off this afternoon while I was home alone in my PJ's.  It was quite delectable.. That boy sure knows how to pamper me.  I'm sure he'll do the same for you!

    bBbotoni:  Damn, man... I can feel you rising to upper case even as I type!  ;-)
  • gingersoul said on Aug 05, 2007....

    KruuKruu...but i have read you are moving out.....this is horrible....how will you live without them (and the yummi chees)? How am i going to meet them now? I call for emergency meeting with Bot.....  

    JD......clean and unused soul? well....i am not the Devil....and compared to this offer there is nothing equally important i might give you...the trade would be too unbalanced.... :-)

  • gingersoul said on Aug 05, 2007....

     JD......i kinda like the ability to speak in tongues....would you give me also invisibility? But I can't pay off your debts. I got mine to take care of already....so ask me something else......and maybe we will make a deal...

  • kruuyai said on Aug 05, 2007....
    ginger:  That just means that you have to get here before September.  Either that, or help me do away with Ms. L.  ;-)
  • gingersoul said on Aug 06, 2007....
    Kruu......deal..:-)
  • kruuyai said on Aug 06, 2007....
    ginger:  LOL... so which is it?  Do you get here by September, or do you help me do away with Ms. L.?
