  1. That's why I'm a reader and not a writer.
  2. This was the line I was referring to - the words of a bodyguard. “Just doing my job. The boss said to protect you at any cost. That includes defenestration.”
  3. Mac and iPad user here, I didn't realize that feature was unique to the brand. Having said that, pasting the word into google is my method of choice - more options to research that way. I know I've come across some other cool words wish I could remember one of them. Oh wait, I do: defenestration. Defenestration is a word for the act of throwing something or someone out of a window. Yes, there's actually a word for that. Fenestra is the Latin word for window.
  4. Doths protest too much, does he. You’re not the only one. Truth tellers, we are.
  5. It’s not hard to look up things, just saying.... Bonus is, learning something new.

    Why I Write

    As long as a good tale is being told, I don’t mind grammar not being quite right. It’s the story not the syntax that enriches the reader, right?
  7. So natch, I just had to google that (so susceptible to dangling carrots I am - good thing I’m not a cat ) and what I found was quite interesting...
  8. Yep, and aiming to win first prize.
  9. The forecasted windstorm has started. The trees are being whipped around and I can hear it booming, too. Take care coming home tonight @Mikiesboy.
  10. Damn, Thorn, that was funny. You should be a writer...
  11. Is Tesla happy having the flat all to herself (meaning no pup)?
  12. I’m not an author, but after coming across this word (okay, so I look up a lot of things I come across in my readings) I just have to share it even if what we read here are electronic words.
  13. Got some reading to do. Have a good night everyone... @Wayne Gray nice to meet you, btw.
  14. Noted. Speaking of No Name products, No Name cheddar (mild in the club pack) is excellent. No more processed cheese slices for me.
  15. The description intrigued me, so I’ve added it to my To Read list.
  16. Yep, steamed broccoli with a just a bit of salt and pepper is divine.
  17. Never had canned ones. My mind’s eye is giving me the side eye just thinking about doing that. Not sure why, since I have never tried them. And well, you know my history of refusing to try brussels sprouts, and um, other things, and how I feel about them now that I finally did...
  18. Hi Mike. I agree, 56 notifications is a lot.
  19. No jello, but I had three mandarin oranges for dessert. One of them was quite tart, let me tell you.
  20. I googled these. You can buy them in the UK and on Amazon.com. The exchange rate from Canadian to American dollars is pretty high right now, so I won’t be trying them anytime soon.

    Out

    What a lovely vision your encounter was. Made me smile, tim. Made me smile...
  22. Just remembered Loblaws has a lot of bulk bins, I should check them out because I need almonds...
  23. I’ve had that yogurt and it was delicious. The graham cracker bit sounds good, too.
