Thank you!
And Good Evening, Owl! :)

Cool! Crow you're almost there! :)

I've been playing this, aside from a few breaks, for something like 10 to 12 hours. I've lost count.
I just got through with a level that I'm pretty sure took roughly 500 tries to beat.
My back, shoulders, arms and hands are trying to lock up.
I've barely slept in two and a half days.
I can feel my brain gradually turning to mush inside my skull.

This is fun. ;)

Yep, they're about 17 and they're quite a handful, mostly because they're so full of themselves. :P Though I think younger children might actually be more difficult for me, I don't have a lot of experience with them ... But of course I would prefer a bunch of 12 year olds. :P I call them my kids because I am kind of attached to them, but some of them are technically adults already.

Good evening, lovely people of Fred!

I hope you are all having a lovely day so far, or at least an okay day?

*hugs and waves*

Good evening. =)

How's your night going?

*tired hugs and waves*

-rejuvenating chocolate milkshake waves back- =)

Hope everything went well for you today.

Yeah milkshake :D
Well, nothing too bad today. Most presentations were quite ok. And my poster presentation is on Wednesday so until then I should be able to have a relaxed time ;-)

Good evening.

My evening has been lovely, thank you. Health wise not so much, but nothing I will let ruin things.

How are you this lovely day?

*big energising hug, but not enough to stop you getting some sleep*

Doing all right here. Having fun playing a game while eating some licorice. Could be worse. -laughs-
That's good, at least. Have a pleasant time, be all rested and ready when it's time for your presentation. =)

That is good to hear. Are you playing anything fun?

Regular black liquorice, or the coloured ones that are not really liquorice? Do you have liquorice root sticks in the US? I like chewing on those, they look like sticks, but give off a really nice sweet liquorice taste without all the extra sugar.

Not at the moment, no. It's the extras that make the experience right now. -laughs-

The super-synthetic, artificial color, artificial flavor, feels like edible plastic as you eat them kind of licorice. ;)

Haven't seen those before, so probably not.

That sounds like lots of fun. :-)

I did not realise that the English and US English spellings are different for liquorice/licorice until now. Do you prefer the coloured variety over the original black liquorice?

The liquorice roots sticks are not the most popular, so I can understand you not having seen them, or maybe you did and just never noticed, they do just look like sticks after all. But they can be hard to find here, so I would imagine they would also be in the US, except for a few stores that deal with natural food like that. They are not to everyones tastes, but I have always liked them.

I've seen them before in natural food stores. You'd probably be hard-pressed to find them anywhere else, though.
