Yessss!

Homey old folks dispensing reminiscence, pleasantries and bromides from the comfort of the rocking chair on the porch? No way in HAY-ul! :lol:

Most of us are just as edgy and full of 'tude now as we were when we were younger - maybe even more so. (Lookin' at you, Lau.

And also at myself. :oops:

)

Lau's point is well-taken, though. In our rush to celebrate our uniqueness and feel good about ourselves, we must not leave behind our ability to evaluate rationally and think critically - which, after all, is our greatest strength.

I'm bringin' the marshmallows! Cain't drink coffee no more, go for the sugar buzz instead. :bounce:

Hello. Rocking Chair on Porch sounds good... while sucking down about my third Mint Julep prior to chasing the poor, unawares mailman around the block a few times. :wink:

On constructive criticism.

It's really not worth the effort.

:wink: :lol:

Count me in. I would adore sleeping in a refrigerator box. Can we have a camp fire too?

Andandand we can sing "Kumbaya" from each box, and we say good night to each other just like on the Waltons, like "Good Night, Johnboy," "Good night, Mary Ellen," "Good night, Grampa"...

And make S'mores, and roast hot dogs (do vegidogs stay on the stick very well?), and make sure our boxes sit in a rational pattern...

Actually, it would be fun.

Hi Asplanet. It is Smelena, my daughter who mt WP members in London when returning from a trip to Portugal. It was the highlight of her trip. She met Lau on one day and about half a dozen younger ones on another day.

Rjaye, Helen is vegetarian.

My husband, on the other hand, has eaten bullock sausages, crocodile. ... just went brain dead! ... anyway lots of stuff.

For Lau and Deacon Blues I'm sure we can find something that's greasy. They seem to share a liking for such cuisine!

Helen's boys eat sausages and meat pies. Helen is self sufficient in fruit - but she is the only one who eats it with third son.

So post your likes and dislikes before you come!

I saw a Great Blue Heron on a near by river yesterday. Two things strange about that. One, it's the earliest I've ever seen one here by almost 4 weeks. Second, it shouldn't be on the river but still up in the highland swamps, where they gather before coming to the streams.

I suspect the first Maple sap run started yesterday as it hit about 70 degrees F. It doesn't have to get near that high, just above freezing and best when it goes below 32 again at night. The first run is always the best as you get the really good grade AA fancy syrup. That's the stuff you pay a small fortune for if you can find it at all. Not going to do it this year, it can be pretty messy boiling it down in the house. It's not to early for the sap run, however, some years are earlier. What has been odd is figuring out just exactly when it's doing the first run. Mostly you just tap the trees and wait, but yesterday was a sure bet. Most years you can tell when it's doing it but this is the first in a good while when the first run was a "yes it is". The normal run, which comes after the first is a no brainer. Hell it's still going and you have to keep the ants out of the buckets. Yeah, I still do it the old fashioned way, most don't anymore.

Been mind numbing lately, sometimes it's the only way to cope. But thought I'd check in and say hi.

SNARK!! *poof*

Hi Robyn, thanks for the welcome and the suggestion I have an Anzac biscuit. The last time I had one was 25 years ago and have been deprived since then.

Quoting Rjaye:

Oh, yes. An Aspie camping trip. That would be something to write home about.

Or ... an Aspie dig. Led by Postpaleo and Swamp Blossom. Opals?

Seriously, I and my family are thinking about a vacation where we can dig for stones. Those black opals are fantastic. But since we are in PA, we could settle for garnet mining. And, does anyone know what a "star stone" is. There supposed to be prevalent in Delaware County.

Camping in boxes and marshmallows in Australia? Count me in. The point of campfires is melting marshmallows. Of course I take ten obsessive minutes per marshmallow to get it evenly tanned over the entire surface. Yummmm.
But asplanet, I want you to plan one in kiwi land. I have wanted to go to New Zealand for decades!! !!

And how about one in Arizona? We have a lovely sunset if you can get out into the country here.

And the desert here is really colorful.

And we could start a campfire and share all sorts of ghost stories.
