So hi to one and all! smile

Talk sense or nonsense, I dont mind!
Or dont say anything at all.

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 smile.

whitewave Fri 14-Nov-14 20:35:58

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.

Ana Fri 14-Nov-14 20:31:24

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

whitewave Fri 14-Nov-14 20:27:10

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

Ana Fri 14-Nov-14 20:22:48

Lucky you.

soontobe Fri 14-Nov-14 20:16:55

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.

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.

Elegran Fri 14-Nov-14 20:08:35

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 ?

soontobe Fri 14-Nov-14 19:53:37

Dreaming of spelling words is puzzling to me.

Ana Fri 14-Nov-14 19:50:46

Must admit I'm rather puzzled too.

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

Soutra Fri 14-Nov-14 19:46:56

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

soontobe Fri 14-Nov-14 19:38:38

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

soontobe Fri 14-Nov-14 19:33:45

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

soontobe Fri 14-Nov-14 19:29:57

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!

rosequartz Fri 14-Nov-14 18:53:32

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.

gillybob Fri 14-Nov-14 11:36:32

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

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.

pompa Fri 14-Nov-14 11:14:51

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.

janerowena Fri 14-Nov-14 11:08:14

Yes, I meant cosines and tangents. I did think it was perhaps a bit late at night. grin

Does the red suit you? I am naturally a reddish blond, but I add a beige colour to tone it down. I went slightly redder once and DBH hated it, as he doesn't usually comment adversely I had to take him seriously. I would love to be brave enough, and to have a slightly darker skin, to carry off a good bright auburn.

whitewave Fri 14-Nov-14 11:06:25

Good to hear of your successful hair colour, I was reading somewhere that home colouring has improved enormously. Just off to do mother's shopping - it seems to have stopped raining so that is something.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 14-Nov-14 11:05:34

Sun has just come out here. So I will walk.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 14-Nov-14 11:04:41

What. Really red. Not just auburn? Wow!

I might do that. Going up town now so will look at colours. smile

gillybob Fri 14-Nov-14 10:59:37

Hello Time Wasters.

Thought I would pop in to announce that the hair dye was a great success and I am now officially a red head. Well at least until the white streaks appear anyway. smile

Its raining heavily here so I must make sure to have my brolly with me or I could end up with red dribbles running down my back.

rosequartz Fri 14-Nov-14 10:32:59

We had a little book full of sines, cosines, tangents, square roots etc at school. It went into the bin when I left.

Now I have files full of cousins, second cousins, seventh cousins once removed. More interesting, relatively speaking. They will probably go into the bin when I pop my clogs.

Elegran Thu 13-Nov-14 23:36:41

I think the cosine/cousin mis-spelling was joke on tangents/relations. More intellectual than the nuns on bicycles.

soontobe Thu 13-Nov-14 23:04:04

Have got Elegrans joke now too.

But must go to bed now.
