"but the mental image of a man of indeterminate age standing on the roof pontificating about prepositions WITHOUT a bathrobe on just popped into my head!!"I love it! Debbie you're just priceless! How well you described NE! Now if we can just add the virtual image of the moon to that visual, it would be purrrrrrrrfect!!!
I love you guys (and gals). Virtual friendships, and real friends. Maureen I'm honoured to be your only Malaysian friend. Deb and NE, I love the way you look out for me when I'm MIA - which I have been of late due to upheavals at work :(
If this was Facebook I would have been able to share with all of you in this group a virtual toast: To the guys and gals of Language and Grammar @ Goodreads - long may you pontificate!
heehee

great toast/post
have things settled at work?

Moe, sadly, no. May be out of a job soon, which I suppose is better than working under someone of questionable integrity. Choices, choices. Ah well, this too shall pass...

Autumn has arrived here with a bump....almost overnight. Within the space of a few days we have gone from overnight temps of 13*C and daytime highs of 21 or so, to 1 - 14. The trees turned overnight and are now sporting their autumn tones, and the gutters are full of leaves. There is even a dusting of icing sugar on the ranges this morning!
u what's u?
deb it's u thread how can we say anything about u that u can't delete and throw us off for? :)
and hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha
on a political system that supposedly has no impact on my life halfway around the world

Random thought...popped into me head whilst brushing my teeth! I am a 'feeder'. I feed my body (preferably avocados and smoked salmon), my skin (moisturisers), my brain (books), my soul (music)...and my cat (Dine Liver and Bacon).
Mod
Ooh, that reminds me...I read a very funny poem...I'll put it in the appropriate thread.
Moe, Deb, thanks for your kind words re job. You're so right, it's better to be jobless for a time. In fact, it'll be a nice change. Feeling good about it now.

I have been a long time fan of Sound of Music! Break a leg!
I have confidence in sunshine,
I have confidence in rain.
I have confidence that spring will come again!
Besides, which you see
I have confidence in me.
&
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into Springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad.

Happy Mother's Day to you, Debbie, and to all the other Mothers in a different time zone (that is, who have a jump on us). Here it's Mother's Day Eve, only 7:15 p.m. in fact. It's the number one day for long distance phone calls in America, according to Ma (get it?) Bell. No surprise there. Forget your mother at your own risk. I'll ring mine up after my trail run. "Pant, pant, Happy Mother's Day, Mom, pant, pant, trouser..."
yes happy mother's day deb
my rotten fink kids will probably forget to call me too
my youngest hasn't sent me pics of the baby in 6 months! (my mother did though)
but i remember 2 mom's days ago, they arrived at my door, my youngest son with the first vase of flowers he'd bought for me himself, the other with some picked ones and pistachio ice cream i think and the daughter called from "A" school in virginia
my mom and sister got nicely drunk on cheap red wine
my 15 year old foster daughter called us all nuts but was happy to have a family around and we took pictures first of everybodies feet, then their hands, then their noses, including the dogs
it's a strange and hilarious bunch of pics
but one of the nicest mom's day memories ever for me
this year ahhh...i'll call my mom, my step-mother, talk to my sister,
and my daughter and i are planning a nice lunch
and the two grandkids i live with and i are going to sneak over to the commissary next door and get their mom something a little later

Julie Christie did a version of the "Sound of Music"? Stage version, maybe? Or is that just another name for Julie Andrews? I'm all confus-ed NE!

In the midst of performances now and I am building theatrical superstitions daily...the show will bomb unless we four nuns practice a particular harmony just before curtain up, I say a quick Hail Mary (indoctrination!) and I am wearing my lucky garter under the habit!!! One of the most amusing things for me (as a newbie to all this) is the discovery that most of the artistic temperament on display comes from the stage crew and the sound techies!!!
I second . . . and third . . . and fourth the missing of moe. I feel like one of the founding fathers of L&G has . . . oh, I can't even come up with the words to express it :(
I am so glad you are enjoying your performances Debbie! Theater is something one can never fully explain to someone who hasn't been part of it in some form or another. I did a lot of high school productions & am considering getting into the local community group here. Maybe when my son is a little bit older . . .

Maybe that's why I went into college teaching. A lecture is performance.

I took liberties with the script during the two performances in front of the school. The liberties were funnier than Crane, if not quite as classic.

Huge bills (food, power), wet towels on floor, heaters left on all night, strange young ladies phoning and visiting, mates just walking in without knocking, nothing where you left it.......hmmmm.
