Let's Play III -- Keep One, Change One

[color=darkred]Type two words that go together.
For example:
sunny day
The next person has to choose one of those words to keep and add his/her own word to make a new reasonable pair.

Using the example ‘sunny day’, the next poster can choose ‘sunny’ or ‘day
So the next poster chooses ‘day’ and might write
hard day
The next poster would now have the choice of combining a new word with either ‘hard’ or ‘day’.

I’m sick as a dog. It’s 35C outside all normal people are out - and I got some viral infection, I can’t sleep, can’t eat even can’t blow my blocked nose. I have an awful headache, my temperature is lower than necessary, and generally life sucks … You’re my only company for this weekend …

  1. as nutty as a fruit cake

What do you mean, Bagheera? That we are not normal ?!
My husband is at work and I am at home, alone.
Sorry you are being sick.
…and boy, you surely sound glad to have us as a company!!

:slight_smile:

Hope I am not messing up your rules there, Beeesneees.

You’re great, not just normal. And I’m extremely glad, I really am. :slight_smile:

  1. passion fruit

Ladies, don’t despair! Your present situation cannot be worse than mine. I was bed-ridden with jaundice for most part of the past twelve months. Even though I’ve recovered completely, my mom still doesn’t allow me to enjoy the normal luxuries of life – like eating junk food, going on trips with my friends, etc. To add on to that, the grad school application season has started, and I’ve been writing personal statements, SOPs, letters of motivation, etc. continuously. I can’t even hang out with my friends :frowning:
This site is nice though. I can visit it whenever I feel exhausted after writing those stupid essays.

And yeah, my mom mollycoddles me as if I’m the still like the infant in your profile pic.

Well, I guess we are still children to our parents no matter how old we are.

Glad to know that you are still a 22 year old baby… To that matter everyone on this forum are cute babies learning English and some of them teaching …:slight_smile:
