Food for thought

Nick R Thomas @asfarasiknow (3340) • Bournemouth, England 14 Aug 17

I was in my local Lidl supermarket recently (I'm not proud of that but I needed some shopping). Three police officers came in, well, actually it was two police officers and a PCSO. For anyone outside the UK, this stands for...

Gus Kilthau @asfarasiknow - Brother Nick - One time I, too, was in a supermarket, buying some Samosas. I paid for them at the checkout counter and asked for a receipt. The clerk gave me a printed receipt that detailed how to bake a loaf if brown bread. ...

Wuzzit Challenge Number One

Marsha @MarshaMusselman (38865) • Midland, Michigan 4 Nov 16

Since I've started distorting my photos recently someone asked if I would join in and do a Wuzzit. At the time I didn't think so, but recently I took a photo and manipulated it a bit. Can anyone guess what it is? Whether I do...

Wish Us Luck Here In Florida

Susan @HazySue (39268) • Gouverneur, New York 8 Sep 17

The last report we saw here about the path of Irma looks like they feel it may be going right up the middle of Florida and from Florida through Georgia and onto to the Carolinas. Irma seems to be a category 4 hurricane at this...

My Photography - Under one of the bridges

CaseyL @CaseyRoss9966 (4056) • United States 3 Jan 17

This is a photo of the underside of one of the bridges. The hiking trail goes under the bridge so I was like why not take a picture of it. I love all of the bridges on the Parkway. It leads to two separate hiking trails. One goes...

I know there is a beware of dog signs, but, what if there was a beware of cat sign?

Hanni Harel @Hannihar (130213) • Israel 21 Aug 17

What do you think people would think if those that have cats put up a sign saying beware of ferocious cat? Do you think people would try and enter just to see if it were true or shake their heads and laugh and just walk past the...

Gus Kilthau @Hannihar - Ms Hanni - One time I saw a sign on a merchant's door, "Warning - Guard Cat on duty." One of the more amusing warning signs I saw back in the day was "Warning - Trespassers will be violated." Commonly seen is a sign that says "Guarded at all...

Just sharing

Always smiling @allknowing (137908) • India 16 Aug 17

I had to click this photo as it was, so to say, beckoning me. The alamanda is at its best in the rainy season. My morning strolls in the garden draws me to them. I have them all over the garden and this one is near the gate...

Can you think of phrases that can easily be misinterpreted?

The Horse @TheHorse (220356) • Walnut Creek, California 11 Aug 17

I just responded to a post by @DianneN in which I used the phrase "turns me off." That got me thinking back to hippy days. "Turns me on" (or off) could have sexual implications ("oh, man, that dress turns me on") but it didn't...

Gus Kilthau Howdy "Horse" - Sure enough, I can think of a phrase that might be misinterpreted... "Hippo Potus." ( an overweight president of the USA with an overly large mouth." ) -Gus-

It’s longer but it’s shorter

Judy Evans @JudyEv (342277) • Rockingham, Australia 10 Aug 17

You’d think someone would have made a mistake saying this but actually it can make sense. When we’re trying to decide where to go while we’re travelling in France, we’ll put the name of a town into the GPS and she’ll chug away for...

Gus Kilthau @JudyEv - Ms Judy - The road in your photograph looks to be a wee bit on the scary side of things - but scenic enough to ride on during a vacation trip such as the one you guys are making at the moment. Have fun. -Gus-

Feeling A Little Yucky Today

Sandy @velvet53 (22533) • Palisade, Colorado 7 Aug 17

How many of you ever dreamt of going up in a space shuttle with the astraunots?

Hanni Harel @Hannihar (130213) • Israel 7 Aug 17

I never wanted to ride in one to those. It looked cool how they would float around. Just watching it was fun. I never wanted to go see the moon. I felt bad for the ones that did not make it back to earth. We had one of our own...

A subtle discrimination

ingrid @ridingbet (66854) • Philippines 7 Aug 17

Have you witnessed a subtle discrimination? I have. This morning, 2 newly-hired nurses came to the ward accompanied by the nurse III supervisor, who was the former clinical coordinator of our college of nursing. Ms. LC, the nurse...

Gus Kilthau @ridingbet - Ms Ingrid - I can imagine the reaction those nurses would have had if I were there in front of them, trying to talk in Tagalog... I am still trying to learn how to do just that. Note: they would be laughing at me even to today... -Gus-

Whimsical figures in Vensac, France

Judy Evans @JudyEv (342277) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Aug 17

We brought our motor-home from Ireland to France on the ferry on the 21st June and within a few weeks we’d come across these attractive models which were arranged in front of the mairie (town hall) of the village of Vensac. Again...
