I think you should go see a shrink I think you are cracking up either that or call all the kings horses and all the kings men...

Ok, I will be the rotten egg and say change the subject...

Water you all want to discuss next. Don't freeze me out or I will boil over and get steamed, No I don't want to poach on anyone else's territory

I will be a little deviled and egg you on and see who goes off the boil first.

are you all eggagerating again or are you trying to eggonerate you selves.

My favourite is something I see every day at work.

I work in a ware house, receiving clothing and this is what I see on the Plastic bags the clothing comes in. "This bag is not a toy made in China"

Well I'll be floored

Not really mind you we did have a few good laughs. Mostly it was stopping people from using unauthorized fires mostly candles and camp stoves. I actually caught one couple trying to cook there bacon sausage and eggs on a little sterno camp stove. Had to tell them it was against the sites policy, furthermore it isn't wise cooking meat in amongst one of the largest collection of vegans to gather together. I think the last part was probably what decided them to put it all away. I did go and check to make sure and passed it along so the others could keep there eyes out for it as well.

Yes the Summer solstice is celebrated on the evening of the 20th thru sunrise on the 21st of June at Stonehenge. I have been to two of them, no not to celebrate it but to work. I assisted a guy I know who had a contract to provide fire prevention during the celebration. It is a wild time down there I can tell you the sights I've seen would have you rolling on the floor with laughter and shaking your head in wonder. It is the only time in the year that the public is allowed to actually go within the stone circle. Try to imagine 15 to 20 thousand people within a 2-3 acre site Most of them are reasonable if a little wild but you get some who go to cause mayhem. I've seen little kids as young as three and four and elderly couples in there 80's. There is no standard of dress I've seen full druid robes to men and women running around in there underwear, underwear that didn't leave anything to the imagination.

I go through mothers day every two weeks. I pay this mother and that mother and all the other mothers and never have any left for me...

OK probably in bad taste but that's me.

LOL my wife always gets me for that one. she will ask a question and I will say yes or what ever you like. It is normally a question that doesn't require a yes answer but a direct statement for an answer.

Frenchie it is good to see you back on we have missed you.

My mother uses that statement Ori, well one like it "If you need something done right ask a woman" I tried it once I asked my wife she told me to do it myself as she was busy LOL

Actually Frenchie I hear you, I am one who is irritated by that word, that and of all things actually and I over use that one myself.

I'm sorry Ori but that is the way all things go, we are forced to learn the proper uses of the tenses. Unfortunately it seems our current crop of intellectuals find it to difficult to do things as they should be done. Welcome to the future

So who is up for a good laugh ? Go on you tube search Sausage party and watch the trailer for the movie. No don't worry it is not that type of trailer it is funny.

LOL if you are living in an area where you get little rain the any rain can be either a pleasure or a nightmare. I remember when I was Stationed in San Antonio Texas they didn't get rain that often, but when it did rain it was torrential. You always found two types of people. Those who reveled in it and those who feared it. I was one who ran outside when it started raining I loved it.

HRH, Yes the British were leaning towards the south it was the Cotton and indigo the were after but once the Blockade came into effect they had to find a new source of Cotton and indigo. The cotton the got from the Colonies in India and the Indigo I believe they got from the Bahamas or maybe it was the Congo I am not sure which.

Groovy, I want to see the battle sites, but what I miss most where I come from happens in the Fall, or as the English say Autumn. The changing of the leaves, it starts in Main and travels south as the season progresses. There is nothing more spectacular and awe inspiring in my eyes anyway

It seems no matter how old your children get they are always willing to pass on those things you would rather avoid. Such as Illness, and Illness, and more Illness. Got to love those kids, LOL.

Yes a negative will attract a positive but repel a negative and visa a versa.

Groovy, you have the Tennessee hills and the mountains all free to see. You have sites that are fairly nearby I would love to visit. I use to study the American Civil war and would love to visit all the battle sites. From the battle in the wilderness to bull run to Gettysburg all hold an interest to me. I would love to also visit the Little big horn and walk the trail of tears. To feel the history not just know it. Yes I have visited many sites here in England but it never seems to be the same as it is in your own country.
