Workled, I thought, was rather a nice one. Although I had to read it a few times before I was sure you meant work-led (at least I think you do) rather than workle -workled. Which is also good.Anna MRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801478271766064478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-52118249254343399642007-03-29T00:59:00.000-05:002007-03-29T00:59:00.000-05:00Susan: Sorry for the misunderstanding, and thanks ...Susan: Sorry for the misunderstanding, and thanks very much for the encouragement.

It's the best tool you need. I look forward to you - and i know you will - firing up a dream. :-)Suzan Abrams, email: suzanabrams@live.co.ukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818807164881810296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-21009651532728434582007-03-28T23:23:00.000-05:002007-03-28T23:23:00.000-05:00Susan: Much thanks.

Oh, maybe you mean the word count, which sputtered to a stall a while back. I'm really anxious to get back to work on it.<BR/><BR/>Ms. B: Glad you like workled. And don't fret: I'll get back to London one of these days, just not in May.<BR/><BR/>TSP: I've written down "globbled," and will try to use the words next time I feel that way. I'll let you know if it sticks for me.<BR/><BR/>HWDNS: Nope. You're really early for the next contest. Now enough of your wit.<BR/><BR/>HinSF: True, I am eager to finish my Dayworking so that I can actually work much longer hours on my own project for no money. Perverse, when you think about it like that.<BR/><BR/>RTS: You are brilliant. <BR/><BR/>Chris: It never ceases to amaze me that Canada has a west coast. That never would have occurred to me. Seriously, though, I'm thinking that I'll probably just stick to the U.S. if I travel at all. Still have to see how the money shakes out.The Moon Toppleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12717446064777879248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-85312096891787767382007-03-28T15:23:00.000-05:002007-03-28T15:23:00.000-05:00London is over rated.

At least the cost of living (or visiting) is cheaper. <BR/><BR/>But then I can also highly recommend Ireland as well. The Republic of Irleand is on the Euro so the dollar goes a bit further. I just loved Ireland, such warm friendly people and my travels there resulted in many a great story. <BR/><BR/>Canada is nice too. You could go to the West Coast and visit my home of Vancouver. So many places to see, so little time. Too bad it all takes money. Canada would probably be your cheapest bet though with the exchange.

But you may as well unworkle over there too so that you feel altogether less workly. I have used that incorrectly, haven't I? I do like it though.<BR/><BR/>Another competition?

Keep us posted on possibles.<BR/><BR/>"Workled" to me connotes something along the lines of "worked to death." Brain death (or a remarkable simulation) is one of the symptoms. <BR/><BR/>Funny how we can spend hours without even a food or sleep break "working" on our own projects which do not even feel like work.heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-33065616255427500702007-03-28T09:40:00.000-05:002007-03-28T09:40:00.000-05:00Ms Baroque's disappointment is shared.
