RE: NON-POSTERS~Come Out of The Woodwork, Part 3

No, he isn't.

Occasionally your missives are entertaining but sometimes your choice of targets is questionable.

Pick on the dickheads and I'll most likely back you, leave the good ones alone

RE: What Kind Of Christmas Cookies Are You Making This Year

You're welcome Larry

It's good to see you again, you are a true gentleman and your threads are refreshing

RE: Have a guess ...something we learn from a young age????

I remember years ago getting fed up with regular heavy rainfall, my back garden would flood and the dog couldn't get out for a pee

No more.

Anyway another thing that came to mind (apologies for the thread hijack) is that my Brit Mum always made fruit mince pies for Christmas, even though no one liked them

I'll be whipping up a batch later

RE: What Kind Of Christmas Cookies Are You Making This Year

*sends a care package to Larry with a couple of slices of Christmas fruitcake

RE: What Kind Of Christmas Cookies Are You Making This Year

Clever idea turning gingerbread men upside-down to make reindeer faces

I'm not sure cookies are a thing here at Christmas-time but my fruitcake turned out great!

It has a can of crushed pineapple in the mixture, along with the usual dried fruits, which makes it moist and yummy

RE: The Best (( TOPIC )) in the World

Goodnight Jono

RE: The Best (( TOPIC )) in the World

Goodnight Secret, rest well

RE: The Best (( TOPIC )) in the World

Sorry Secret, when I said 'as you do', I meant in terms of those in power kowtowing to heads of state as is expected of them

I hope I didn't offend you, and I completely agree with your statement about choosing what appears to be the lesser of two evils when it comes to the polling booth

RE: The Best (( TOPIC )) in the World

Sorry Jono, bad choice of words .. I should have said 'relevant'

I made the mistake of watching Prince Andrew's diabolical interview re his association with Epstein, I had to turn it off, it was beyond cringe-worthy

RE: The Best (( TOPIC )) in the World

Hey Jono

I guess these topics are meaningful for you as you live on the same landmass as Americans

Here however, there's mention of Trump's latest antics on the news but I've yet to hear his name mentioned in everyday conversation or any remote interest in him or US politics in general.

RE: The Best (( TOPIC )) in the World

Anything but Trump

RE: Have a guess ...something we learn from a young age????

And yes, the sun every day is an angry orange orb in a yellowy grey sky, blue skies feel like a distant memory. ..

RE: Have a guess ...something we learn from a young age????

I can't remember the last time it rained

The entire country is basically in drought, we have red dust blowing in here from the parched interior with ash and blackened leaves raining down from fires, it's a state of emergency for many.

Over 700 homes have been lost, wildlife decimated and no relief in sight.

I read yesterday that Canadian firefighters are being flown in to relieve our exhausted crews who have been battling these fires for several weeks, bless them

RE: Have a guess ...something we learn from a young age????

It can get pretty chilly in the winter here Bruce but no snow as I live in a coastal region

Nasty bushfires up and down the Eastern seaboard at the present time

RE: Have a guess ...something we learn from a young age????

It appears my Mum missed that memo also oops

RE: Have a guess ...something we learn from a young age????

Mum also said, on very cold mornings after toasting myself by the fire, not to put my coat on until I was ready to depart otherwise I would not appreciate it

You can take the girl out of Britain but you can't take Britain out of the girl, even after all these years

RE: Have a guess ...something we learn from a young age????

Something else to add to my list

One thing Mum said that has always resonated with me is that when someone pays you a compliment, just say Thank you

No negative self-appraisal or other blah blah, just Thank you

RE: What made you laugh today?

The Daily Chuckle thread, there's always something to raise a giggle on there

RE: Have a guess ...something we learn from a young age????

I was born in England and my dear Mum also endorsed this idea even when we moved to Australia

Also not to warm my feet near the fire as I would get chillblains and not to sit on concrete as I would get piles (haemorrhoids)

Needless to say, I still follow her advice to this day

RE: Christmas Music

Nice thread Bear!

I'm off to bake a Christmas cake

RE: "So You think You want to be a Farmer, Huh?

Do farmers name their livestock Larry

I guess it depends on the size of the herd?

RE: Daily Chuckle ...

You're killing me

RE: "So You think You want to be a Farmer, Huh?

I'm gonna call the black and white one Jackie as I'm not sure if it's a boy or a girl

The fact that it's wearing earrings means nothing in these gender-fluid times after all

RE: Daily Chuckle ...

RE: "So You think You want to be a Farmer, Huh?

'Calf friend', how cute

I'd be a hopeless farmer

RE: "So You think You want to be a Farmer, Huh?

So sorry to hear this Larry but we know you did your best and she's no longer suffering

RE: Have a guess ...something we learn from a young age????

Kindness

RE: Have a guess ...something we learn from a young age????

Love and respect for animals

RE: "So You think You want to be a Farmer, Huh?

I could never be a farmer but hats off to those such as yourself Larry who have the knowledge, expertise and compassion to assist our animal friends when they are experiencing these awful situations

I hope that dear girl recovers very soon.

RE: Are Younger Women Attracted to Older Men?

Lol I doubt Larry noticed Red

He's a bit busy right now
