Don't let the old man in. Not today.

Luke, may that happen to you on your next walk along the promenade, and may you not be as taken aback as the fella was, but dance along laugh

cheers

Don't let the old man in. Not today.

MiMi yay ain't nobody old until he lets the old man in. You like 'em old enough to be unshockable, young enough at heart to shock you in return .... grin

RE: A blast from the past

Wow Ooby you must have been here a while I don't recognize any of those names and I thought I was something of a fixture!

Chat, if people are only here for dating, um .... why are you? laugh

Don't let the old man in. Not today.

Viking, why is it the 'old woman' sounds like everyone's mother-in-law uh oh

But the old woman scolds you and gets you up on your feet and doing things and anyway too late you already read the blog rolling on the floor laughing

How are you, poppet, we don't see you often these days?

Don't let the old man in. Not today.

Harbal, I'm not surprised, he has to be careful of the company he keeps rolling on the floor laughing

I never want to hear another 'oh I can't' from you though, after that boast. You probably can - if you don't let the old man hold you back laugh

RE: Hodgepodge

What - me worry? It does look oddly familiar laugh is Mad magazine still going? I loved it as a kid

RE: "WONDERING MAN"..("NAMES")..(3)

Almost every cricket fan will remember hearing about cricket commentator Brian Johnston announcing “The Bowler’s Holding, the Batsman’s Willey”.

RE: What color....

Clear varnish for me, but if I am really feeling jazzy, silver-tipped.

I like stick-on falsies for fun occasions, the whackier the better, but they don't like me and keep jumping ship, I rarely get back home with a full set. sigh

Taken for granted

Bogart, you have a knack sometimes of seeing more than I did and you are completely right. Oh man I probably have more apologies to make.

Thanks! bouquet

Taken for granted

I'm feeling the biggest retrospective heel on earth and you're being nice to me uh oh

Go be nice to someone who deserves it! (and THANKS even so)

Talking to ourselves

Fay, makes sense to me, especially on a team project.

I don't personally care how she runs her business correspondence, though, it just grates me when the same attitude tips over into family mumbling

Talking to ourselves

Molly, that used to bug me too, multiple requests. I usually changed the heading when I was replying so I knew which one I was replying to and didn't have a total email thread so enormous it eventually slowed the whole computer down laugh

There are some colleagues cursed the other way, they'd be 'thanks for (a)' (well, sometimes they said thanks) 'you didn't reply yet about (b) or (c)' even though I had already said I'd reply to those separately ...

Do not miss those days at ALL. Now I get about 1 business email a week and leap on it with happy cries of money money money YAY laugh

Talking to ourselves

LM, glad to know I'm not the only one laugh out of curiosity, do you find that there are more people around that don't respond, but do what you asked?

Every time someone has a whinge at her someone else, usually more senior, will jump in and support her, so she's not about to change. I did wonder if it was becoming a trend, the tutoring college I teach for send out dozens a day (deletedeletedeletedeleterecurring) and never expect a reply.

Talking to ourselves

LaFonda and Red, the point is more that she simply doesn't see it as bad manners, she's not ignoring them, she did what was asked. No need to reply.

I have said more than once that I am old-fashioned, and I expect a response scold and she probably tells people her mum is soooo Stone Age. (DD stands for darling daughter) She does reply if she feels she has something to add to the conversation but otherwise I should understand that my message was received, appreciated, understood and she's not going to reply for the sake of replying.

There are many bloggers doing exactly the same, of course. Some don't respond at all, some cherrypick part of what you said and ignore the rest, and some reply at boring length (I know, I know, bite me) roll eyes She'd say it proved her point.

Talking to ourselves

Badly, oh that is a whole blog on its own. And a problem on its own. We should probably all lock our blogs when we are done with them because otherwise if someone comments on an older blog, there you are, on the horns of a dilemma. Respond to the comment someone has taken the trouble to make? Ignore if because otherwise it looks like you're commenting on your own blog to jump it up? uh oh

Eish.

Talking to ourselves

Hey, Robrt wave

I didn't really mean to include mails on CS laugh I don't feel I need to reply to a message which is obviously one-size-fits-all but when I do get messages that show someone actually read my profile, I do reply. Very unmodern of me, eh? They usually don't bother to reply. And even when they do, there are some wowzer strange people out there uh oh I was talking more about responding to colleagues, family, friends, that sort of real life stuff. But keep on truckin' babe, keep on truckin' your ship is coming in and at a guess she will be nothing at all like your usual type!

peace

RE: My opinion on opinions

I simply can't work out how you manage to stay single, Jim.

RE: ICC Cricket

Hansie, Hansie, do miss you.

RE: My opinion on opinions

Badly, may I say on this blog I'm afraid to go into yours and nothing could make me open that link? JMO. grin

RE: My opinion on opinions

Everyone is entitled to my opinion. grin

if you were born a boy or a girl, what are you now ...

But it is because some, at least, parents, will react exactly as you did, DR, that I can see why the vicar would have clashed with the school. People are entitled to their opinions at a distance, but this kind of debate happening all round the school, "my mom thinks you are wrong" "my dad says man up and accept it" cannot be helping. Maybe the vicar hoped to head off reactions by explaining the full circumstances and probably they are convincing, but eish, what an upheaval for this kid to be going through anyway without doing it in a full glare of publicity.

It might have been better to simply move to another area and let "Victoria" start at the new school as a girl without all the hoopla.

RE: Raw talent beyond boundaries

I worked for a while with the mother of a girl trained to do music therapy for autistic children, and where possible teach them to play the piano. I've long since lost touch with them but can imagine how they felt, watching this. Her daughter said that watching a severely autistic child reacting to music, sometimes the first joyous reaction of their lives, was indescribable.

RE: I presume that few would know better lol

Hmmm - I'm not always sure of the advice that's thrown around. After all if walking was THAT good for us, postmen would live forever.

I was advised by a cynic to put cats on the covers of my books. Only two of the covers had a cat and those two have both outsold the rest of the series by, between them, nearly three thousand copies, so I tried a cat on the last of the series. Third time wasn't the charm frustrated

RE: Too Soon?

Bring some guacamole back for me grin

I don't even like climbing hills. You could not pay me to try that mountain.wow

RE: Its raining ,,,,

Rain in the heart? comfort

Rain outside? hug

The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain but when it falls around here it buckets it down wow

The book I'm reading is American and keeps doing flashbacks to Botswana, ridiculous that I am reading in bed, in Spain, feeling at home, then alien, then at home, then alien

laugh

if you were born a boy or a girl, what are you now ...

Len, yup, adults switching back and forth, or staying ambiguous, makes picking someone up in a bar look a very risky business too ...

laugh

if you were born a boy or a girl, what are you now ...

Viking, rolling on the floor laughing now don't sit on the fence here haha

As for parents saying you can be anything you want ... well, it seems now you can grin

if you were born a boy or a girl, what are you now ...

Red, oh yeah I'd hate to be growing up now and either forced to rock a doll or be counselled for wanting to tear around with the lads. Up to reading this story I had been thinking girls had way fewer restrictions than when I was a kid - girls routinely play football and rugby, for example, unthinkable back when mammoths roamed the earth!

Do like your gym pics, go you!

And I'm NOT saying, before anyone jumps on me, that I think kids are being forced into gender slots. But if schools are watching anxiously for kids suffering from gender anxieties, there must be conversations with teachers and parents and school counsellors happening that were undreamed of in the past.

if you were born a boy or a girl, what are you now ...

Chesney, hey, I think you'd be a good brother to have if there was defending to be done grin Wish you'd mentioned what age she was when she knew she should have been a he?

RE: Circular Alliances in CS Blogland

I'm alright Jack grin but can think of a few right off the bat disproving both sides of your theory laugh
