A thread just to say hi!

I've still got my 4 and five figure log table books somewhere along with my slide rule.
I still regularly use trig to calculate angular problems, but it is much easier with a calculator or online.

Well its not exactly pillar box jingl but wouldn't say it was auburn either. More kind of red squirrelly.

I always dye my own hair. Cheap as chips and hair always lovely and soft afterwards. Mind you I have had some colour "d ee z arse ters" (darling) but its so easy just to find another colour and start again.

janer why do you colour your hair if it's reddish blonde? 'I should be so lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky'

A young actor was asked on the tv this morning what Pythagoras's theorum was - he looked nonplussed, but he was caught on the hop!
I think he is in a series which includes the character Pythagoras.

cosine/cousin, more than I can manage to understand!

Hi pompa.
I do have some old maths books somewhere, and geog, eng, etc.
I do read them occasionally for a laugh.
I have a job application somewhere too. It is a lot worse than I remember. I wasnt so hot back then at some things as I thought!

Glad the hair dyeing went well.
Am trying to picture your disasters.

henetha, I have been puzzling about what you wrote.
I should imagine you quite enjoy language to do that?
And crosswords?

I am puzzled about why you are puzzling- or have I missed something?

Must admit I'm rather puzzled too.

Perhaps I've become rather cynical in my old(er) age...

Dreaming of spelling words is puzzling to me.

Dreams are only relevant to the dreamer, they are of things that interest that person, or memories from their past or worries for the future.

What do you dream about, soontobe ?

Dreams aren't always logical, are they?

I often dream that I'm trying to get somewhere but I'm thwarted at every turn and then get really worried about being late. It's very common to have anxiety dreams.

My dreams are things that sort of could happen.
Everyday things with a bit of a silly or unusual twist.

One memorable one was of me in a bus with my mil.
The bus went into town, and entered a hotel. We went up the stairs, and down another set of stairs in the bus. And came out a different door.

Another one.
A village I know had a village fete. But the stall were not just in the village hall. There were stalls along most of the streets.

That sort of thing.

I dont think that I ever dream worry dreams. Or scary ones.

Lucky you.

What does it mean when you dream that you are naked? I sometimes have that dream.

It means that you have a secret fear of the 'inner you' being exposed, whitewave!
(Or so I've read...)

Oh, not sure what my inner me is, will I know it when it is exposed?! Great to think I have a secret self though, thought I was quite ordinary.

I think really it's just another anxiety-type dream, whitewave, and going out and suddenly realising you've got no clothes on is a common one .

I always dream a complete jumble Elegran I always think of a "dream" being a computer program getting all mixed up and spewing out a mixup . That would kind of sum up my dreams. People from way way way in the past mixed up with the present in totally odd situations..... A kind of strawberry fields.....

I always seem to be trying to find a loo in my dreams. No mystery there. Sometimes it's even worse - trying to find a loo AND nude!

soontobe I make my hair more beige because in electric light I have often been asked if I have coloured my hair pink, or orange. Also, I now have a white streak about an inch across just above my fringe to the right, and am starting to get a few strays dotted elsewhere, and as I have a pale skin ( makeup or dove lotion sorts that out usually) I look truly dreadful in the morning.

There's a photo of me now on my profile. I think the beige is just starting to wear off in it and the orange strawberry about to make a break for it.

Yup, you can even see the Bride of Frankenstein stripe if you look carefully!

Noah told the animals to go forth and multiply.
The snakes said 'we can't, we're adders!'
So he built them log tables!

In my dreams I'm often naked .... trying to get from A to B without anyone noticing!

Seems we're all anxious

Oh how I hated those. Along with slide rules.

And me!

I am suffering today after a bit of a do in Glasgow yesterday - I think it must be affecting my ability to comprehend this thread - please tell me it's the hangover and nothing else? I feel I am lost in a parallel universe
