Ask the woman who's boxed and can't reply to your threads

[severe delays]

So if anyone has a burning issue which they feel they need my input on but has foolishly posted it somewhere other than the box here's your chance to amend your ways.

ETA: I may post my replies to your threads here. You'll have to sort out where those belong yourselves.

[Uthrecht]

Why are you such an unrepentant Box-delver?

[severe delays]

Because I've never done anything boxworthy. Plus I'm in and out cooking so I'm not really experiencing the full horror of the box.

[mlerose]

What's your favorite color?

[severe delays]

Ummm. I never really understand questions like that. There are no absolutes in my preferences, possibly because I'm synaesthetic. Though I do really enjoy shades of green and purples.

[mlerose]

What form does your synaesthesia take?

[OAOW]

You've raised under the gun with AK and some numpty has re-raised you all in behind. Do you call?

[severe delays]

You know, you might want to check your laws regarding drug use if you *know* that's definitely going on. In the UK the owner of the property may also be considered liable for prosecution if they knowingly allow others to consume illegal drugs on the premises. It might be worth checking out if your landlord really wants to get rid of her.

Besides that, what's to stop the landlord actually remodelling for a couple of weeks? A quick clean and paint job won't break the budget and is reasonable for new tenants moving in.

[mlerose]

Did you mean to post that here?

Grapheme-colour i.e. coloured letters, numbers, words etc. And music and sounds have form that's not just hearing but it's hard to explain. Sort of like a cross between moving and visual texture.

I'd put my thumbs up in order to go and read the rules without getting shot.

Yes, see the second part of my OP.

[severe delays]

wring, I'm glad you went with my choice of thai. But you really should get snookie educated in yummy indian food. Oh, and I totally didn't get your pun.

[mlerose]

Ah, interesting. I've got a very slight form of number-gender, sometimes with color. It doesn't affect my daily life in the least.

[severe delays]

Oh, and solfy, that's an interesting question but I believe if you couldn't get Dave for passing bad cheques you could still go for his Mamma. That may actually be for the best because I bet he minds his Mamma* even if he is a dirtbag.




*i.e. is scared of her.

You know, I never get how people would think it would have any negative effect on our lives. It's a slightly different way of perceiving things, not a mental illness. I'm not having a go at you, it just annoys me that people automatically assume that something they do not have and that's associated with the mind is a bad thing. Even when I tell them about all the euphoria associated with it they still think it's a thing we'd rather be without. Dumb flat people.

What did you do to get boxed? Or is Fenris out of his cage again?

For someone with but 83 posts you have a good grasp of how things work around here.

[dynamitedave]

Well, he normally makes a song and dance about it before he starts.

So this time, instead of wasting time howling, he's sulking about pouncing without warning? Very ..... wolfish

I post like I've got to pay for them

[severe delays]

Thanks wring.

dynamitedave it's ok. Giraffe boxed him for his shenanigans so now he can only box people who post in the box. You should be quite safe....oh....

I'm not sure. They've been convicted partners in crime, but it looks like he started it. Or at least got caught earlier.

I bet she'd still be furious if he brought down more convictions on her head.

Great idea for a thread! Just think if everyone did it!

It would only be slightly more confusing than it is now. But might make for some interesting threads.

You know, I watched 'Horton hears a Hoo' yesterday for the first time and mentally cast you as the kangaroo. Then I found there was a giraffe and did likewise. After that I just mentally added lots of raffers to the film. It was an utter hoot and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I heartily recommend it as a viewing option.

[severe delays]

Hah! He can't talk now. Stymied by his own counting.

Did you report it missing?

[severe delays]

It was.

If you love it, set it free. It came back ergo SD loves me!

He's supposedly in rehab, btw. The landlords need people who pay rent. Crazy couple does that. The crazy is within acceptable to them norms.

[severe delays]

Well we can only hope that the new tenants are nice....OMG we can vet them!

Wait til they move in and then post a note through their door with this URL on and one of the advertising slogans we came up with. Natural curiosity will oblige them to try to work out what the hell this mysterious note is all about and we can see if they are crazy or not before you have to interact with them in real life.

[Kismet68]

I'm liking this idea, but am woefully lazy when it comes to real life shenanigans. Where's that stalker when I need him/her/it?

[Kismet68]

I just realized I'm posting in the box!

Hey!!

I'm a little Roo. Like Rudy*, but not stuck in the pouch.

*that's the one you meant, right?

Nah, you were the big one. It hurt my sides to watch you back-and-forthing with Hajario Vlad the bird.

The thing is, really expensive ones don't fit people with unusually shaped feet. Mine are fairly normal but a little wider than is average. I can generally find plenty to fit me but two places I will never go are really cheap and really expensive. IME neither properly cater for wider fittings.

[Romola]

See, I have long skinny feet, so they sort of work for me. Those Ballys were the best ever though and they are not cheap but definitely not at the high end.

[severe delays]

Even if they were donated by Chinese people....

[Uthrecht]

The feet?

[severe delays]

The shoes. Long story involving a partially misheard conversation and no actual Chinese people (that I am aware of).
