Are there house re-do shows? More than you can shake a stick at, it would seem!
It would seem perhaps superfluous to mention this, but I enjoy these exchanges on A2K. It's very nice to be able to chat across the world through this wonderful medium.
Medium?! That reminds me of a joke about a short seer who was on the lam. The headline read: Small Medium At Large....!
Large depends, as do many adjectives, on the items surrounding it. Once it meant an encompassing size, or usually did, but now we are subject to the added variations of x-large, 1X, 2X, 3X, aren't we?
We change a lot of words through time; it's amazing. Nice, for example, used to mean fussy.
Fussy, I have always liked that word. I also like the word 'fussbudget'.
Fussbudget? I've never heard of that word; does it mean something that fusses?
Fusses are caused by people who are fussbudgets; I can think of one immediately. When I first moved up here and was staying at my friend's house for about ten days, I tried to help out by doing much of the cooking; her husband would sweep up right away if something was dropped on the floor, and I do mean right away.
Right away cleaning like that is a definite sign of a fussbudget! Speaking of which, we (my family and I) spent a lovely evening with neighbors across the street who just happen to play in our city's symphony. It was their daughter's fourth birthday and much fun was had by all.
(p.s. What reminded me to mention that was that the husband is the principle violinist AND a fussbudget though very sweet.)
All the world's a stage, and it gives you splinters in your foot. Jim came to my party on Saturday, and amazingly when asked was able to play, on the piano, the Great Gate of Kiev from Moussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" from memory, when requested, but not by me; the person who asked was Lawrence.
Lawrence requested and Jim obliged. I am jealous of anyone who can play the piano. I have attempted to learn and failed several times. = (
Times change, Dev, and so can you. You need practice; yet, a busy world restricts this, does it not?
Not just practice, unfortunately drom-. Would you believe I've tried on more than four different occasions to take lessons. I always get tripped up playing with two hands! I can play one-handed! I know the piano, I'm just "piano-impaired"!
I think that for me it has something to do with growing up having played the flute first. There - ten fingers make one note, but with the piano ten fingers make TEN notes making it too much for me to handle!
Handle of the piano is a difficult thing to get, I agree. Wouldn't it be good to be able to learn instruments easily, when young?
Dogs can get these tick on them that are so vicious, that they can kill your loved pet within 24 HOURS.
psst! Welcome, locote! In this thread, start your post with the last word(s) of the previous post.
Young is the best time to start an instrument or any discipline I suppose. Then again, there is something to be said for proving the old adage "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" wrong!
(*Man, that's wicked info, locote. Are they native to Australia? I've never heard of such ticks.)
(What about ticks?)
Wrong it is. Shakespeare, for instance, prove that you can learn as you age, with the neatness of his very last play.
Play is very good for you. As the proverb so wisely says, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Boy Oh boy, was Jack dull. He was too laddish, but harboured a secret love for kooky US supreme court judges.
Judges in Britain have been in the news lately, for very unsavoury reasons. Judge not that ye be not judged, as the good book warns us
