Hey there!

Do I get a second cookie for using a second form of "squid" in my story?

TRRDEDEAN aka Dave

Ting flounced onto her bed with a dramatic sigh then said, Father is so annoying.

Why, because you were talking back to Mother? Her sister didnt look up from stuffed squid she carefully draped over her shoulder.

Hey! Ting said and stomped across the room. Who said you could play with my squid?

Baki shrugged. You weren't playing with it.

I wasnt here and I have never given you permission to play with my squiddish. Give it back.

Her sister leaned further back so Ting snatched the toy from her sister and tossed the stuffed squid beside her pillow.

Crying over the fact that 'squiddish' showed up, also the stuffed squid in general! Beautiful. ;) I'll have to get baking on these cookies for the TGIO and all the lovely squid excerpts! <3

You've already seen my squid...but i'll post if i do it again...because Harley DID take left overs home...or maybe one of Harley's left overs fell on under her work desk and the cleaning lady misses it...so...coming back to work after a long weekend going "oh GOD what is that PUTRID smell"

Below is my squid excerpt, where the cat explain the difference between a sentient being and a sapient being. (No cookie needed, Dinosmores better)

Let me explain it like this, said the cat. Take an ordinary squid for example. It has consciousness. It is aware it is a live. It can feel pain and hunger, but the squid doesnt have rational thought that guides its decision making. The squids decision are primarily driven by instinct. This makes the squid only a sentient being. Now if we enhance this squids mental capacity and give it the ability of rational thought and it begins to use appropriate judgement to guide its decision making, the squid has now become a sapient being.

Nano just needs to add like buttons to their posts! LOL!

Here it is... as promised Friday night. ENJOY (typos and all....)

The woman looked puzzled, Alys nodded towards the rolled meat sticks on the platter. The woman followed her gaze. Oh, they are a mix of whatever the cook has left - scraps from the butchering. They mince it up and press it out and then roll it. Alys couldnt believe what she was actually hearing.

Who knew they make tenth century hotdogs, she said under breath diving into the bowl of stewed pears in front of her.
They are actually pretty delicious, My lady. You should try one,
Alys chewed and thought a moment, then just smiled at her. Is there bread to go with it? Maybe Ill give it a go later. She glanced at the sugared roasted squid legs that the server had just placed on the table in front of the king.

Me, a squid without appropriate judgement and decision making, a sentient being.

Love it! And hope you loved the Dinosmores!

It was all I'd hoped and dreamed. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Thanks.

What about that project with a fish name?

Squid? The preliminary trial was a success, but the design work is being moved to China. I left that project so JJ could continue to oversee it.

I always love seeing the way you use it. Bravo!

Haha, perfect! And the hot dogs to boot!
