Will Once - somewhere and back again
Cosmic resonance. Discussed our class rules with the five year olds today.
They boiled it down to Be Kind and Do Our Best.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
The wisdom of children!I wish more adults had the same outlook.
I count myself lucky that most adults I spend time with do have that outlook. :)
That is lucky.My day job brings me into contact with politics where it sometimes seems that the polar opposite happens.
Mind the gap - vegan drivers and alpha males with something to prove about the contents of their underpants.http://willonce.wordpress.com/about/b...
If only life was so easy for you men.
We can dream ... and dread the moment when my wife and my Mum read that blog.
You think we don't know about the shortcuts, but we do, we just let you get away with them.
LOL! I think that's very true. My wife did sound a little sheepish when she told me over the phone that the only washing machine setting I really needed to know was synthetics at 30 degrees. I think she would have been much happier if it had stayed as an arcane mystery that only she knew about.
Mind you, I was glad when she told me about not mixing dark clothes with light ones. That is one "shades of grey" moment that I am glad to have avoided.
Apparently, Italian woollen garments that have cashmere on the label should be washed by hand and on no account be washed at forty degrees with a pile of jeans and t-shirts and male underwear.I did discover how children's jumpers are made though.
Actually you don't need an iron. Chose your clothes carefully and you can dress out of the tumble drier ;-)And never, ever put stuff back in the right place after washing up.
I don't have an iron.

I have lamb leg steak in the fridge for dinner tonight. Yum!
You don't need an iron? Hey that gives me an idea...
When people couldn't afford irons they would fold clothes and put them under their mattress. My grandfather used to do that.
They used to teach army recruits to do it at one time, kept the creases in
Today's blog is about the secret of humour, by way of a good conversation, relationship, book ...A kind of bogtf - buy one get three free.

The league of super-villains, nemeses and Number Ones would like to make a complainthttp://willonce.wordpress.com/2014/08...
Im liking this blog :-)
And I am liking comments like that! Many thanks.
Yeah, I'm glad I mentioned opening a blog to him.He's good.

Pre-Madonna!Love it!
Almost as good as loving the smell of your boyfriend's colon.
PattiI hereby give notice that I will wait a decent amount of time then shamelessly steal "boyfriend's colon"! That's brilliant. I nearly fell off my chair.
Today's offering is a bit more experimental. It's a piece of internet trolling set as a Shakespeare play.

And if you don't like the words there's a beautiful song to listen to.
The Kindle is doomed. Discuss.http://willonce.wordpress.com/2014/08...
All together now ...
Oh no, it isn't!
Oh yes, it is!
Carrying on my goal of one post per day, today's is about the age of mistrust:http://willonce.wordpress.com/2014/08...
Glad you liked it. Today Ug is munching on a woolly mammoth sandwich and contemplating the pros and cons of agricultural revolution.http://willonce.wordpress.com/2014/08...
Sheesh.How about a happy blog for a change?
;)
Aw, Will. You're really quite delightful, you know.You've certainly made me smile.
Thank you!
I'll smother a couple rashers of bacon in maple syrup in your honour later. :D
So now I have an excuse for looking ;~)
The only excuse you need is that Will writes a terrific blog Davidmelad.
Yes, but which one? The "I can't help it. It's in my nature" puppy dog excuse?
Or the "I was just checking to see if you were having a wardrobe malfunction" excuse?
Mind you, I did once try the patented "does my bum look big in this?" excuse. That's when you say to your dearly beloved that you only look at other ladys' behinds so that when she asks "does my bum look big in this?" you have a baseline against which to measure.
No, that one never worked for me either.
The best I have come up with is a mutual deal with the Mem. She is perfectly free to ogle George Clooney and Colin Firth as Mr Darcy in return for me admiring the lead singer of the Bangles.
Oh, THAT sort of excuse!Dave usually sez he wasn't looking, he was lost in thought about something.
Complete bullshit, of course. ;)

Thanks Patti my thoughts exactly.
Will loved today's blog, but a nudge just doesn't work with some people. My best friend always asks for advice,and then does does what she wants. We then have to step in and help her out.
Even if I asked her 'what century we are in?' She would say 'is this a trick question?'
Patti (baconater) wrote: "Oh, THAT sort of excuse!"
I thought you were sharper than that, Patti.
I think David and I both knew what sort of excuse we were talking about! ;-)A bit of male telepathy - the nearest we come to intuition, common sense or the ability to multitask. It's not much, but it's just about all we have got.
Bookworm - you are absolutely right about people who can't take a nudge. The sad thing is that when we know someone like that we can stop trying to help them because it just doesn't get through.
