I would wager that none of you here could add something different to something I already have. But if I'm wrong and you think you can, just let me know when you are sure of it. | ||

Of course, if you know why you can't add that something different, tell me what it is | ||

You have everything? If I add, to your something, 'the property of lacking the temple of Solomon'? | ||

Posted on Sunday, November 19, 2006 - 9:01 am: You have everything? no If I add, to your something, 'the property of lacking the temple of Solomon'? no, the analogy which I think you're referring to doesn't fit my 'something' | ||

Or if I first add 'Nothing' to your something. Then I can add anything to it, since now 'it has nothing' and hence it lacks everything. But then on the other hand, if 'nothing' is a thing which can be added to something, then of course 'everything' contains the thing 'nothing' right from the beginning. But how can everything contain nothing? | ||

Perhaps your something is 'sameness' or 'similarity' or something like that. | ||

In your last answer, do you mean nope or simply no? | ||

In your last answer, do you mean nope or simply no? nope is just a friendly no, not to be confused with yope that is a combined nope/friendly and yes/definitely | ||

Is your something 'an unshakably good temper'? Is your something 'persisting stubbornness in believing that nothing can be added to your something'? Is your something something tangible? | ||

Does the difficulty to add something different have to do with: 1) that those things which perhaps would be different aren't possible to add? 2) that most or all things do not add something different to it? adding: does this mean: to include something in your something? or to put something together with your something? or just to compare it with your something? | ||

Is it common for people to have the 'something' which you have? or to have the same kind of 'something'? | ||

Does the difficulty to add something different have to do with: 1) that those things which perhaps would be different aren't possible to add? it's not impossible to add to it 2) that most or all things do not add something different to it? remember that it's a specific something that I have, so what gets added to it must fit the right criteria adding: does this mean: to include something in your something? yes or to put something together with your something? no or just to compare it with your something? no Is it common for people to have the 'something' which you have? yes. it's reasonably common or to have the same kind of 'something'? more people have been able to add to my something than actually have the same something themselves | ||

Hi Lynne is it a collection of somethings? anything to do with miniature things? can you smell it? hear it? by saying that we couldn't add to it do you mean that it is very unlikely we would be able to think of something that could be added? or that we are unlikely to own something that could be added? or that we are unlikely to be able to get hold of something that could be added? or that we would be unlikely to be able to make something that can be added? is our lack of knowledge a factor here? our lack of imagination? can you add something to it? does one need a certain skill to add something? | ||

Different countries visitors come from? Yes! ******* SPOILER ******* Can you add to my list? I have (at the time of writing) 57 countries represented in just 5 days. But if you can add another flag then I'd be very pleased. I'm like a kid collecting stamps, except that those visitors came without any artificial prompting from me. My site has been around for nearly 10 years and it comes up high in search engine rankings without me submitting it or whatever people do. I have loads of relevant links - artificial link farms can harm your ranking BTW. In fact, the 'incidental' section on Christmas which is there, draws more visitors from other countries than anything else. | ||

Nah, just the Irish flag for southern Ireland, otherwise we're all lumped together I've had to take the whole thing down because they upgraded the whole thing and it now uses Flash animation which freezes the browser. I was all set to start paying next week after my trial period was up, but the original version is no longer available for purchase. It really annoys me how everything has to be upgraded. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. | ||

Update - I've put it back on, but without the flags on every page. They're just on one page, but you can click through to it from any page. So if you do come from a country that's not already listed please click through to my site and add your flag! |
