The one-syllable thread

Got up early this morn to take care of one of my rats. I heard him wheeze a few times in the last few days, so he gets meds twice a day for 2 weeks now. Rats get this quite a lot so I’m used to it, but it’s still a bit of a pain. I’m on the couch now with all four rats while they play. My wife is still in bed, but she should be up soon.

Very calm here. The dog has found a deer bone; he’s glad. The cats go in and out and in; they don’t like the snow on the soil. Soon I’ll stand up and go bring more wood in the house for the stove. It’s very warm next to the wood stove; the chairs next to the stove please the cats.

You and @Spiderman, please stay after class. :grin:

Whoops! I read that post three times and still got that wrong.

I got up not too late. Did some desk work. Played card games with wife, sons, and quite nice niece and her fine spouse, whom we all like, and who came to see us from a state down south. Took nap. At night, had a nice meal out with chum. Fine steak; good drinks. Then I went to a drug store and bought some things for which I had a need. One of the things was a tube of soft white stuff to keep my teeth clean - the brand is Crest.

Back at home, I checked out the Dope, and this thread, which is new to me. I like it a lot. Off to bed now. Good night!

Why are people skipping things like articles and nominative pronouns? If you want a five-star rating, make your entry sound like normal written English (albeit with one-syllable words), not cave-man chatter.

“Went to store, bought milk.” Weak.

“I went to the store, and I bought some milk.” Bravo.

I have thought the same thing. And done so myself. The “Your day in three words” thread is for that tone. Not so much here.

Howw! Man with pale face talk like child. So dumb.

I am well. Great! Its nice out so I am at peace.

I slept like crap once more last night. It’s been like this for at least a week, the jet lag is just that hard to get rid of, ya know? That’s when I got back from a place in the far east part of the world. Well, the far east place. The name? You know you’ve heard of it. I’ll give you a hint; that’s all I can do, as their name is too long for this thread. The hint:

They eat a lot of rice.

Shit, I guess that’s not much help.

Want another hint? Here ya go:

They like to eat raw fish, too. A lot. Get it? That’s a thing they are well-known for.

My wife and I like to go there, but our flesh and bones pay a big price each time we do. First-world problem, I guess.

I have failed you all with this one word. Damn!

I give blood. I am terrified. I faint when I see blood.

I do it anyway, despite my fear. One day that life-saving pint of blood may be mine. And it might save my children.

I donate stem cells and bone marrow. I am so scared, but really, it is not that big a deal.

But, shit, I am scared.

I think this might be in the wrong thread.

You are right

Single syllables. Sorry!

You boofed the rules of this thread, but let’s not stress on that.

I used to give blood, back in the day, when I was a young dude full of vim. Then a few years back, my doc told me, “your spleen is trying to kill you. It eats your red blood cells. We’ll have to cut it out of you.” So cut it out they did. I’m fine now, but the doc said no to more gifts of blood.

Also, when I was the most sick with low red blood cell count, they had to give me some blood. It could be that it was yours! Thanks!

No, no - this is not the word you want.

I have come to see my son, but soon I leave. I will take a plane to go back home. I can’t wait to see my cats. A friend took care of them while I was gone.

Shoot!

At any rate…I will go to my girl child’s house in a few hours to make sure her cats have all they need to drink. Then I’ll go to my house to make sure I get all I need to drink! Food will be what we still have from the feast day.

I’m still sick. Grrr. Not as bad as last night, though, and I’m off work. I’ll chill for most of the day, then at night I’ll drive north to meet up with old friends who I see each year – but first I’ll warn them of the germs, just in case they want me to stay home. (Which would make me sad, but I’d get it.) Dumb cold!!

You failed with two words…oops! :slight_smile:

Oops. I think. :wink:


As to me …
My hot best friend is hours late; miss her lots. Her work last night was real bad so here on Fri she sleeps more than on most of her days. My car is at the shop for paint tweaks. Lyft brought me home after a stop for a huge meal. The day out there is blah and gray but warm.

So here I sit with you folks for yaks. Sigh.

“Failed” has one syll to me…do you say “fail led”? :slight_smile:
