ap: Your dictionaries are wonderful and something to look forward to each day. Having to wait 'till Monday is almost too much. Don't miscontrue silence to be disinterest, the definitions speak for themselves. What could anyone possibly add?

Should Beehive be barred from access to this site?

Is his conduct such that the police should be summoned?

I have just seen this site and came across that last post by Ian from Boston. It intrigued me to the point where I just had to have a look and see what transpired on this site to lead to such a post. Fortunately the relevant posts were not too far away in archives. I only saw a few posts from More...

Excellent post, gave me a lot to think about.

Rosemary:
I hope you don't mind my moving your question to the next page. It seems to have fallen behind.

Ok questions for all to ponder
Are you afraid of getting old?
And, would you prefer to live in the retirement home or live with young people?
Maybe can add
what are you More...

Ian & James
I do not think that you have all the information of posts that have been deleted or things that have happened on the site over a long period of time, unless you are on here 24/7.
Gath, as he said has not wanted to do this but has little choice.
There are rules on the site to More...

Jeb
thank you for re listing the last topic I posted.
I am not afraid of getting older but everything just gets a little harder to do and takes longer to achieve.
I would prefer to stay independent for as long as possible but I think a parents revenge is to have the kids look after you in More...

I hope you don't mind me copying your list jeb on the cant's and can's etc.

Cant's:
Run up Covent Garden tube steps (193) like I did with my friends way back when without oxygen, I know I tried it with my daughter two weeks ago, I won't tell you how far I got but 999 (911) was on my More...

One more:
To continue to pratise Zippo lighter tricks with my brother in the dead of the night, when working together, until I don't set fire to my hands.. because he wants to be proud of me..

and the elastoplasts are'nt working...

I find it just as intriguing that James has just found this site and this particular page...sorry James if you are a genuine poster, but it is hard to 'trust' certain posts given what has transpired and that greg still continues to visit this site.

Cant's (can't's?)
1. eat a 2 litre tub of ice cream and not throw up.
2. remember
3. can't remember what I can't do except that there is something to be said for good bladder control...
4.do what André is trying to do with a zippo...

can
1. do more now than I ever did before and have the freedom to do it without detractors.

...even if it means I get 3rd degree burns on my hands with a zippo.

Interesting question posed by Rosemary....but too late for me perhaps, yet I can give you my perspective!!!! I'm already old...almost 71, and we are only promised 3 score and ten(70)in the bible. If one believes that, I'm living on borrowed time as my mom use to put it. What can't I do now that I More...

My comment lacked that I perfer to live amongst people of all ages rather than just one age. I enjoy reminiscing with those who shared my era, and I enjoy learning new things from young folks, thus extending my interest, and I like to think that perhaps my past experiences may be able to lighten More...

hi there .....hows things going??need some form of membership to log in i presume!!will chk it later..first thing first..
.block, n. (1) (shortened from mental block) A sort of organic stoprule or safety valve that prevents people from going crazy when they consider thought experiments More...

Yes, Ap, you'll need 'some form of membership' to post here soon, I suspect. Of course, the word 'membership' is decidely incorrect. 'Subscriber' is more accurate. Members have a voice in the operation of an organization (which we do not have and are not entitled to, except as consumers choosing to More...

yes Ian,we've come a long way..from just the sudoku to this level..and nothing comes free we all know that pretty well....and the fittest survive!!afterall who has the gold makes the rule..isnt it??

I will never believe that, ap, having taken out some very large, very rich opponents/competitors (both in business and in politics) with only energy and dedication.

I am reminded of a conversation between two generals during the Vietnam war. One said, 'How is some little guy with an AK-47 More...

C
carnap, n. (1) A formally defined symbol, operator, special bit of notation.
'His prose is peppered with carnaps' or 'the argument will proceed more efficiently if we introduce a few carnaps'.
car-nap n. (2) Loss of consciousness while being taken for a ride.
chisholm, v. To make More...

sure Ian..but what kinda energy and how much dedication?to fight what??as you've observed its owners/administrators private enterprise stuff..if you wanna stay,follow the rules, if not just quit..thats it..the msg is loud and clear..every click generates a revenue irrespective of its nature,whether its for or against,so either way the master has the last laugh!!

ap keep the words coming, wonderful lists... hope you come in the chatroom soon x

Only if she joins Bertie is she able to enter the chat room with the elite.

morning to everybody..
'd'
.derek, n. A philosophical skyhook, purportedly capable of transporting one to the 'standpoint of the universe'.
'The only way to raise yourself up to the point where you can understand how it can be good to do bad, and rational to be irrational, is to take a More...

I'm enjoying your lexicon as well. But I am curious...why post them here, in the Forum?

no specific reason Ian...it started like this..Jeb was talking abt how he swapped his major from philosophy to business and Bill came out with a light hearted incidence pertaining to same subject
and there was a long gap after that..no posts..so thought i will just fill the page with some philosophical stuff...and ofcourse not serious..so here iam with it...just that..
cheers

er you want me to shift this to the general page?does it look a bit inappropriate here,in this debate page??
ok folks tell me plz if i can continue here or shud i have to move to general page..there i raised a question!

Not at all, ap. I was just curious. I just thought it might be something else that motivated you.

AP
you post it where ever you want to, this is where your discussion began with jeb so here is quite appropriate.

E

.ew, v. To work in an impenetrable medium.
'He spent his whole life ewing an idealistic line.'

F

.frege, n. (only in the idiom, to beg the frege) To acknowledge the inconsistency of one's More...
