Language, my dear, language.

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (13009) • Ireland 18h

Isn’t English weird? The past of teach is taught, but the past of preach is preached, but not praught, as you might think it ought to be. And I just came across another linguistic oddity. The white powder descended from the sky...

LooeyVille Yes indeed our language is fraught with peril.

My 100 Favorite Charted Pop Songs: Take It to the Limit

Four Walls @FourWalls (67977) • United States 22h

At least this is a good counterbalance to that country song I just posted. If you’re wondering (or even if you aren’t), we’re at songs #77 on the alphabetical lists of my favorite charted songs. Here’s one that...

Dinner 11/19/24

Jim Bauer @porwest (90645) • United States 20 Nov

We were a bit overdue for a spaghetti night, so I made up a batch, and it was as delicious as ever with plenty leftover. The only change I made was that I had half a box of regular spaghetti noodles and half a box of fettucine...

LooeyVille I'm more of a "grazer" who snacks rather than eats dinner. I had some protein chips and some protein bars.

Second Hand Clothes

Always smiling @allknowing (136356) • India 20 Nov

How I wish there were second hand clothes shops around here. The clothes that I want to get rid of have no demand even giving them away as those who need clothes will not wear the type of clothes I wear. Clothese these days do...

LooeyVille There are plenty of charity second-hand stores here. I wouldn't think that people in need of affordable clothing would be picky about fashion. Is there a church you could donate them to?

Oh Christmas Tree.

rakski @rakski (122874) • Philippines 19 Nov

As you all know, we celebrate Christmas early here. So I like to share the Christmas decorations I saw last night at a hotel lobby in Makati. It was so grand and lively, the Christmas spirit is really here.

No Nonsense November.

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (13009) • Ireland 19 Nov

Today’s date, the twentieth of November, issues forth with a sober and serious tone when said aloud, don’t you think? There’s certainly nothing twinkly about it, in fact if dates were occupations this one would be a bank manager...

LooeyVille Then perhaps I chose the wrong date to frolic and have fun at the horse track seeing as this is such a serious date.

A last post about our train trip

Judy Evans @JudyEv (339930) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Nov

Our train ride last Saturday went as far as Etmilyn, eight kilometres from Dwellingup. Etmilyn was a watering point for the steam trains. Lights on the sides of the carriage illuminated the forest through which we travelled. At...

So, is any body preparing any special dishes for Thanksgiving?

snowy @snowy22315 (180660) • United States 19 Nov

I was just telling Julia, I think I am going to make a pineapple casserole to take along.. It is a Southern dish involving pineapple, cheddar cheese and Ritz crackers. I have always wanted to make it, and they say it is delicious....

LooeyVille I've not heard of that dish before. Sounds good. We go to our brother-in-law's but they don't ask us to bring anything.

Binge Watching; Castle

Dena Miller @Dena91 (16636) • United States 19 Nov

Yesterday I noticed that on our Roku channel they had moved Castle from our saved list to the now showing part. So, we began to binge watch it. The show aired from 2009 to 2016 on ABC. It stared Nathan Fillion as millionaire...

Beautiful Day

Jim Bauer @porwest (90645) • United States 19 Nov

I have to say, this weather so far this fall has been more than welcome, having to barely keep the heat turned on, and having several days when I can open the windows and just let the fresh air in. Today is a day like that with...

LooeyVille We play a game every year to see how long we can go before turning the furnace on. Our goal is always Thanksgiving. I'm confident we'll make it. We haven't had a/c or furnace on in 3 months. Fantastic utility bills.
