kbobam Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Any way you approach it, the drones look like a total blast! You mentioned a 'job site' of yours earlier. As your attorney, I'll be disappointed in you if this necessary business equipment isn't appropriately 'written-off'. ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted March 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 What do you call the Noughties? Just read this in an Irish article: "mid-Noughties". Found it aesthetically pleasing. I now officially call them the Noughties too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbobam Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Every time I put twenty bucks of gas into the tank, right about at 19.65 the numbers on the pump start looking like dates. And even though that's when the pump slows down as it finishes, I'm always struck by how quickly those numbers go by. ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hipocritter Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Never a dull moment here in the valley. Fritzy located this trapped Possum on our early morning walk. A little more distance will help us all. We'll move this guy a ways down the lane. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarab Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 i'm glad you relocated the possum. poor little opportunistic creatures. I can't believe the "don't-start-crossing-the-road" gene hasn't evolved itself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Glad you responded to this post. I'd temporarily lost track of it and had wanted to ask Lloyd and/or other critter-knowledgeable people what the 'deal' was with possums. I think it was mentioned here once that 'fora' might be the proper snobby plural of 'forum'. (I have no idea who the jerk was that mentioned it!) Wonder if 'possa' might be okay.

ann Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Long ago, when I lived in south Florida, we had a possum that used to come in the house through the cat door, trot through the living room, dining room, and kitchen, and settle down in front of the kibble bowl for a while. We didn't know this, however, until one night I was sitting up late -- it was about 3 am -- watching an old Sherlock Holms movie on TV, accompanied by one of our 3 cats. And the possum came in, trotted past both of us -- all of our hair immediately fluffed itself up -- and started crunching in the kitchen. Me and the cat both sat there frozen until he finished and trotted out. It was obviously routine for him. That was the last night the cat flap, as we called it, was ever operable. I like possum - possi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 What? You didn't think that was super-cool? I was going for a Latin subjective plural, but I looked into it a little further and it seems like possum is American English derived from an Indian (Native American) word. So the 'proper English' for the plural is 'more than one possum'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbobam Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Separate from my being silly, I really enjoyed the possum story. Felt like I was actually there. It must have been one of those mind-blowing moments you never forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco005 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I Googled crazy inventions from the 1920s looking for background shots and this came up. It's some sort of enhanced hearing mechanism from the 40's, the title of the photo was "before radar 1940s" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
