Random Thoughts Part 5: Time to Split Again

[WWGD]

Good suggestion !

This reminds me of the quizzes we had in English class on learning the meaning of a word and using it in a sentence. What is, e.g., truancy, use it in a grammatically-correct sentence : " I don't know the meaning of the word 'truancy' " , or: "The English professor asked us to write a sentence using the word 'truancy'" . Maybe this is how Lewis Carroll got started ( probably with much wittier comments, though)

And people can ask you: does my dog bite ?You answer: you mean my cat my dog or my dog my cat? (This is the best I can do after 12+ consecutive hours of work together with a speech on anti-birthdays)

That again ? I mistook my cat your dog with your cat my dog. You seem to mean so.

Bingo! And not just his name-o : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bingo_(folk_song)

Oh no, my mind got sucked in. Now that hurts me so bad.

That is the usual reaction to my (failed) joke attempts, by those who are not quick-enough to avoid me when they see me approaching them.

I would want to learn in this mental game who imagined most. I think only I did. People are old and so experienced with great critical thinking skills. (I mean I am younger and prettier anyway[/size] )

Lame joke. Catmandu, Catastrophe, Category.
However, Catmandu should actually be spelled Kathmandu.

Lol! That's good! When it comes to understanding jokes, not being a native speaker can cause real problems :-)

I have no idea, because "cats" in your sense may mean something opposite in mine. I am a little confused when people mention cats and dogs. Perhaps I need a big dog kitty which I will probably name Mixerio.

Lol I meant a real furry 4-legged cat .i said it because they are so independent and it is often said that they own you and they let you use their furniture etc.
Anyway, it would be funny if it meant a woman!

Current temperature in Moscow: 5 F

 

[Sophia]

If 5F is - 15C as I just googled that's quite warm for usual Russian winter.

What area in the world has the average temperature of 2-12 deg Celsius in winter, 14-20 in spring, 22-27 in summer, and 10-15 in fall ? I would want to live there.

Speaking of cats:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/29/cat-people-dog-people-intelligence_n_5412245.html

Cat owners have been demonstrated to be more intelligent than dog owners.

When my cat read that, he said, "Don't get a big head. Cat owners have still not been demonstrated to be more intelligent than cats."

That looks pretty much like average temperature here. :-) but sometimes we have slightly above 30 in summer and - 5 during the day in winter. The were years when we had - 15C in day temperature but those years are gone now that we have global warming :-(

Speaking of winter weather, it looks like a Big Ol Snow Storm is headed for the east coast this weekend. We've haven't gotten any for the last few years so it will be nice to have a BOSS or two pass through this winter.

Wonder if the missions that work in the South Pole use refrigerators to store their food, or if they just leave their food out somewhere.

Where on the east coast? No snow for a few years?

DC area. Boston got slammed last year but we barely got any.

They could use fridges to protect their food from totally freezing outside

Yeah, DC is pretty far south. I grew up in NH, and a winter without snow was unheard of. Then, though, I found out the winters as close as NYC were very much milder than ours. Keep going south and you end up in Florida.

Talking about storing food during winter, I had some time living in the north of Japan (Hokkaido) where I used to leave my covered ready-made fish or chicken outside my window the whole snowy night such that I could save some pennies for not having to use the fridge. I guess some people might have done the same.

I prefer dogs. But I don't like chihuahua .

The Chinese people work them selves to death, and their working conditions are far below the west, it is no wonder.

Closest to that I have done is leaving food out of the fridge during cold nights (I use a heavy blanket to keep me warm).

P.S: Anyone else having trouble finding the scroll bar for this page?

Me. the scroll bar is the same colour as page background

Any one following Robot Wars, to me it is a spectacle of mechanical mayhem with a touch of mechanical innovation.

Only option I can think of is using the up, down arrow keys for now.
