Huge misunderstanding! Your tree only meant to give you a hug and underestimated its own strength. The doc looked in both ears to compare them. Ears differ very strongly in everyone, like fingerprints, therefore there's no general rule for what is normal. To get an idea of what your ears usually loo...

We just had a rather violent hailstorm Rainy, windy and barely 5⁰C. The forcast says mild frost for the next 3 nights. My poor peas and radishes! Last Sunday we had 27⁰C - themps dropped by 22⁰ within 24 hours.

there's one! Quick, Garry, hand me the big scoop net!

That's how I greet all my old male friends now. "Tally ho, Old Bean. Still able to get it up, eh?" Sounds very Wodehousian :D My buddy's concert yesterday was wonderful! The room had funny acoustics, though. I found the sound very fuzzy and dull but my cell phone a meter further down reco...

but at least no puddles either
(which reminds me of a tongue twister my sis had to learn when studying English: "what'll I do?" cackled the muddled duck and huddled bedraggled out of the puddle.)

Ah! I had no idea we were only a few weeks apart Happy unbirthday!

Oh, I didn't know that she died. Poor Ghost . :( actually, you did. Ghost was Emma. I first met her on Keith Cobb's board in 2000 or 2001. There and on ExIsle she used a different name again: Nonny. It took me years to realize Emma was an old friend under a different name; and she didn't recognize ...

just learned that yesterday was siblings day. I had no idea there was such a day. On the other hand, in a universe that even contains a national buttered bread day it doesn't really come as a surprise. I herewith declare international chocolate cookie day opened! (unless there already is one, which ...

it appears to be search day! I misplaced my favourite umbrella and already thought I lost it when I discovered it hanging on a picture hook in the living room. I must have been very absentminded to put it there. :blush: :no: Might try to get my boss to accept it as proof that I urgently need a vacat...

no liposuction!

Welcome to the board :) I think you'll like it here. Interesting to learn about your nick. A board member who died less than a year ago went by the name ghost on TrekBBS. Was that by any chance the board you registered? I use the name huggle on most boards. It goes back to a Dutch friend, Santaman, ...

I am not sure what happened to the phantom smilies and how they turned up in the first place. There are international smilie codes, for example used by cell phones, and somehow they displayed on the board, too. We seem to have lost them with the last upgrade. However, the board is 3 versions behind ...

happy unicorn day! The desert dust is really a nuissance. Windows, cars, laundry, everything is covered by a thin orange/pink layer. Snow, too, and there it gets problematic: the dust heats up in the sun and makes glaciers melt faster. On the plus side, we're getting the most colourful sunsets and d...

Surely none of us could count as wicked! Must be the ecclipse or some other cosmic phenomenon.

No guests atm - seems like everyone is asleep.
