Q's/Clues !


Part 2 of 3 (cont)-Ruminations after Linda's Q175

posting:

(cont from part 1 of 3) (this is part 2 of 3)

I like how U can play your game Linda-

very smartgift -of sorts- to your friends in

Corfid; in my case, for all the things they have done for me by

just being here to play in the hardest of times
;

loss of Merry, current -sorry- seizures'

previous in past surgeries, even farther back , wayy back...most

of you guys heard portions of this in the past - so I apologize

for the premature eulogy lol, ut Linda has not heard I do not

believe, in so far as pertinent to my corfid vakue to my

recovery, and what leads as point-for-mentioning it - ultinately

the tiles to down-the=road from then to now remaining factors

that effect my "hosting", the patience for which you've all shown

as players I am indeed fortunate for and thank you. Linda it

started for me with a severely impaled leg in a

glacial/mountaineering accident, followed by impaired

..abilities.... related to day-by-day terrors and fearful in-home

nurses staff visits -(owwww!)then drastically more abilities lost

after a car -mountaineering accident with myriad subsequent

surgeries followed by several degenerative neurological, and

spinal-chord- and -structural, and then the car accident - same,

same, different, the longer-lasting nemessis with some left-overs

here and there apparent and germane to odd response-time

variation i.e."where's Steve; he's logged in and we show him by

his profile page as in Lyrics (inedible) - mostly, catching up

and the VERY fun writing of new clue's/Q's.



Ruminations on Lyrics heard versus per database eg Wayne's World

Lightfoot!:


Then,also memory blanks on my "hard-drive" in the brain-pan lol,

and the seizures, and general down time when each new iterative

surgery comes up and convalescing disabled down time - drool time

watching clock in teeth-splintering pain....my God Linda this

game has been a God-send of occupying my mind from dwelling on

terrors to me medically - and when it plays out - even if

tomorrow , I'll have had an extremely fortunate run -



Linda, if I may, don't take it personally if attention to your

thread peters out for awhile, or harsh comments made for-various-

sad reasons - worry not - the interest will "reset". or you will-

by reformatting the "themes" or what have you.... and keeping it

genuinely fun - is a challenege - I had the good fortune of a

very good friend , an -email pen-pal, also a corfid member, that

was such good input for me regarding how I was conducting myself

in games, loquacious posts elsewhere, etc. and then, somwhow - I

upset her without knowing how.... and lost a friend that helped

me "stay-the course" if say 4 example , un-beknown to me, I was

hypotheticaly acting bossy or smart-apple, and did not know it,

orr conversely, I worry too much, and at times things are FINE,

and I'm worried ppl are teetering on the edge of losing interest

- inevitable at some, I think, who knows ? It will die out, or

evolve perhaps outof my hands, in whatever the majority enjoy -

maybe yours too, along time from know, you've probably got a

long, fun, run with the present theme alone
, not to mention

re-invention !

Further Linda, as I try to regain my old sense of humour -hard on

several counts, ( eg last Saturday would have

been Merry and my 29th anniversary - on the 11th... and I totally

lost my sense of humour and got defensive, and missing my recent

pen-pal to point it out made it harder, oh well... .

Linda, you've; and other readers even more likely, have no doubt

had your fill and more of this belaboured and non-sequiter

thinking-out-loud for now....
but I wished to

communicate how subtly operating a thread to help ppl have fun

can be misunderstood, quite literally, in a day,and to not

let it upset you, 'cause- like in "Field of Dreams" - if you

build it, or subsequently modify it (lol) , and its a fun good

game by the nature of it, and it is ; they will....(the

players) by the thread's intrinsic nature - "they will come"

sequel-"(back)"

LOL lol LOL lol. WORRY NOT Oh ye who toileth by midnight oil,

that others may take their R&R and honour you with their

participation - I'll let it go there (Linda has been eyeing

possible exits fo 15 minues lol....)
-

this whole corfid group has patiently remained

friends with me through very trying times, and others I know have

gone thru far worse than I - and I am worried very much about one

extremely disabled friend on-line- I have not heard from

in over a month... funny how some start to seem like family.

Well, BTW - Linda, your thread is going great guns ! Congrats

hope U R enjoying it as host.
.


Now I'm even more interested in database versus 'listened too and

heard' by afficianados' heard lyrics, end of sentence Q

notwithstanding, best 2 not go there , accept for me not

differing anymore on a reply thats ambig, and the "heard end of a

verse" versus the "database

end
of verse surprises" - which , with common

sense - I'll accept more readily now like with what Char

found to be true on the 'Songs the Minstrel Sang' [/COLOR][/I]

and appurtenant lyrics: not 'cause

she's moderator, but because were I in her shoes, I'd feel

cheated if I KNEW the lyric was "x", and database said "y".

Then, you and I , and by format - perhaps moreso I, have to

exercise judgement in a few more apects, and consequentiqlly be

further subjected to more scrutiny for fairness in application of

"rules" equitably, coincidentally, and ironically in the

simultaneous midst of a paradigm shift to player-requested more

casual/less rules = more fun approach, becomes a logical paradox,

as the shift breeds less-equitable thought time given non-

rigorously to submissions by virtue of growing more lax for

everyone's enjoyment, only to answer to polite Q's, or ribbing a

little, which I am totally cool with , on "hey how come

you did "a" for him, and "b" response for her ? Foul ! Foul !

Judge ! lol...lol...

So I tighten up..only to see interest wane over 'too many rules"

lol..lol... a logic prof would have an absolute field-day with it

! Such is the game, and the solution lies in common sense as I

see it, there are no "'PAT" answers. These statements as I make

them, smack of truisms, and therefor allready are likely well-

thought and allready existing knowledge for you-, if not futher

than I, lol... and I am simply displaying a keen sense for the

obvious to you ! ...lol.... ooh well... I try too help !



It all begs the question...at least I can smile the whole time

over identifying in my mind which one of the "twelve most common

written logical fallacies" is the game presenting me with, and

having further oppurtunity to "sharpen the axe" in the requisite

logic and linear-convergant modes of thought for programming in

my line of work, then shift gears in applying the priciples of

exception for my intrinsically divergant mind (aka scatter-

brained in a predictable order within chaos..lol) that seves me

better in the analyses-end of my work, which often takes the form

of what is the new correct question to ask, to properly plan and

execute/flow-chart the project known "type" of answer allready

forgone in nature, but not real answerrequired......leading

to"what question in turn do I ask...." Its all a chess-game on a

board of "chinese puzzle-moving tiles/squares" a.k.a. a moving

target -but its fun plinkin' - for you two Linda ?

So, onward and away from preachin' without a collar ..lol... and

on to topical discussion - more fun , less no-sh88 qualities to

it ! And BTW - I am - no surprise - going to have to break up my

2nd half (this post) into another split further, lol... no

matter...therefor the talky-talk will have 2 whole posts back-to

-back, and the first post of what would have been 2 planned,

becomes the first of 3 - the actual game-play response will

remain post 1, and this will become posts 2 and 3 after I split

and edit ! blah-blah-blah lol..... If I engage in any more meta-

game talk about the talk-about the game...lol... I'll have 4

posts ....ohhh noooo Mr. Bill................so, 'tseeer:next a

real subject .

end of part 2 of 3 blabberty's , GAME CLUES WILL BE AFTER PART 3
