Jamaica...wow, what a trip that was...when you tried to make it with that goat because you were so high on Jamaican Brick weed I thought I'd die laughing...those Jamaicans love their weed, don't they? It's weed, weed, weed, all day long with those people!!!
People like to think they are doing good things for others. It is unfortunate that others usually just think they are intruding.
Intruding on other people's lives is one of the most abhorrent things. Now, chatting nicely with a drink, why not?
Not enough sleep must be the cause of so many of our problems.
Problems arise when one doesn't have enough sleep, indeed. Like forgetting the second sentence.
(Okay Francis, you win! I tried to edit my post as soon as I had accidently hit the Submit instead of the Preview button, but you had already jumped in. I guess the message I posted prior to that one applies - as does your reply!)
Sentences like mine are only intended to keep talking. Send the next one.
One should not spit the dummy, of course, but frustration does set in every now and then. Just what is the prize for turning it into a race?
Race day at Royal Ascot brings the ladies out in their finery, especially in some remarkable hats. Apparently no limit exists on the imagination in the trade of millinery.
Millinery designs range from the sublime to the ridiculous. What a shame the fashions of the moment tend to suit the latter.
Latter-Day Saints can be a real nuisance, especially when they come to the door when you're making the tea. If religion has its place, which I doubt at times, it's not on my doorstep.
"Doorstep must be scrubbed every day" my Granny used to say. Mine is lucky to be swept once a week!
Week ending, Friday, market day here, town heaving with summer visitors.
Visitors, especially unannounced ones, can be a trial as well as a blessing. And don't the Chinese say that guests, like fish, start to stink after three days?
Days, even years ago I would have agreed, but my aunt told me it was a Jewish expression. I find that all my hosts have heard of it, so it must be a universal truth.
Truth will out, they say. But we have a legal profession dedicated to the opposing view.
View of the legal profession that is highly cynical, McT. I am assured by my legal eagle son that truth should be the aim of all reputable lawyers. In France with the non-adversarial system, truth by a consensual approach appears to be what they are after.
revivin' this conversational thread
Thead after thread after thread; that's the weaving game. Handloom weavers had a hard life they say, but rioted (it's a long story) when power looms were introduced.
I would imagine they rioted because they saw in the power loom an absence of wages and thus food which they linked in their minds with a slow and painful death. And a hard life was better than that.
Like Mick McGachy (?) once said- "They'll have you on a bowl of rice a day if you let 'em get away with this. (Waves paper on which are managers conditions for an agreement).
And like the weavers-he was wrong. They are trying to cram cream puffs down your gob faster than you can eat them now.
