TIME PLEASE

This phrase unleashes lots of memories from my childhood.This was a common phrase used by "US" kids to take a break from the ongoing play scene.Let me explain...Suppose we are busy playing "HIDE AND SEEK",and someone is thirsty, so that person comes out of the hiding place shouts "TIME PLEASE" runs up to the house and comes and hides again in the new hiding place,the seeker cannot declare him "OUT".The game dosen't stop at time please,it continues as usual,only the person who shouts "TIME PLEASE" is allowed to excuse himself/herself from the game for sometime to join back later.
  • Mom calling  us back home in middle of the game..
    • Rescuer:TIME PLEASE.
  • Thirsty in middle of the game?                                
    • Rescuer:TIME PLEASE.
  • Need to rush to the bathroom? 
    • Rescuer:TIME PLEASE
The reasons to shout "TIME PLEASE" were numerous and endless and varied diffrently from person to person.Though they acted as life saviours most of the times yet "TIME PLEASE" had its own disadvantage.The game never stopped on saying "TIME PLEASE" so lots of time we used to return back from our break and find that the game is over :( :(..


Each game had a set numbers of these "TIME PLEASE" that every individual was allowed,which were decided before the game started, so that the person who is the "seeker" doesn't have to put up with many time pleases :).


These "TIME PLEASE" were a must in all our games not just hide and seek.At an age where kids din't even know what technology was,came up with this "TIME PLEASE" which acted as "Pause" for us.


So one might ask why this "TIME PLEASE" description in the middle of a smoothly running "Record a week" ,the reason being me.I need to say "TIME PLEASE " right now, not because I am tired or something .I am having fun but,a small glitch.My system does not register camera.So I have to wait till hubby dear finishes his work on his laptop,to upload pics on the BLOG.


I had 2 choices either to post all my entries without pics and add pics later OR wait for the week-end and post all my entries with the pics.I have opted for the second one.I am very much recording all that I want to write/remember and taking pics too :) .


You can expect lots of posts over the weekend,till then TIME PLEASE :).
