Love it!



Your wife lets you have a dating profile?



"Wherever they go"? Being where the wife goes or where the dead people go? Because, I've never encountered someone who see dead people go any decent distance. Their appearance seem to be quite localised. So, this is an interesting twist!
My wife gave me two choices in life. Fidelity or death. So far so good in that respect.


The member's wife sees them wherever she goes. To her they are mainly just background noise.

Wow... things move fast in this thread. I've not read nor posted much in the forums today and there's 3+ pages of posts to read in here alone I have some catching up to do...

In the mean-time... A very slightly sad day for me - but only slightly...

For over a year now, Monty - one of our neighbours' cats - has spent most of his waking hours in our garden, relaxing in the flower-beds, chasing birds and leaves, and "managing the population" of our mice. He's also got to know Boo Boo, my own rescue cat who frequently goes in the garden attended, wearing a harness and long leash. Initially, Boo Boo didn't like him, but they gradually became friends of a sort. Then, a few months ago, Monty's brother - Jones - finally overcame his shyness and began visiting us daily, usually to eat Boo's left-overs from breakfast, lunch or dinner, and to enjoy a stroke and an occasional cuddle. Again, with some reluctance on Boo's behalf, they had become friends of a sort.

Well, yesterday there was a big van going to and from our neighbours' home... and now, the curtains are all shut, there's no car in the drive-way, no lights on in the house tonight, and no sign of Monty or Jones since yesterday afternoon. I'm not 100% certain, since we never knew those particular neighbours well enough to chat other than at the annual summer fair, but I feel sure they've moved away. And whenever Boo went out today, he sat by the garden gate for a few minutes, looking through it to see if his friends were nearby. In all honesty, my folks and I have been doing the same thing.

If our neighbours have indeed moved, we all of us shall miss both Monty and Jones. Lovely cats, both of them. Really lovely

Not that I ever paid any of the flat earth stuff any attention; it just occurred to me from that picture, how do the flat earthers explain day and night cycles?

Paddle.

Canoes are the only boats I care for.

Very interesting. I wonder if they have routines, jobs and the like, or if they just stand around.

They've either moved or that was the assassination cleanup crew.

Read through these posts and it should be clear how I got confused. I may not be good at math, and sometimes my comprehension may leave a bit to be desired, but I think it is clear that Dave lead me astray but his post, the first quoted here.

Dave said:

I'd reckon Mark is 12 kms into his 100 km ride........about now......

.........just guessing

Dave
Pretty sure "kms" is kilometers, and 100 doesn't look like 160.

So when Mark related his journey, my response was thus.

QuoteOriginally posted by Racer X 69 Quote
Um, let's see.

80+40+40=160.

I thought you said it was a 100km ride?
So then I went back through the thread, and sure enough, Mark said he was going to be riding 160kms.

So I made yet another post, feeling like a dope.

QuoteOriginally posted by Racer X 69 Quote
Um, I just re-read your original post, Mark.

And of course there could have been only one conclusion to be drawn from Dave's misleading comment.

QuoteOriginally posted by Racer X 69 Quote
Dave must have been sampling some hooch when he said 100km.


So, never mind, eh?

But Dave wasn't finished.

QuoteOriginally posted by dbs Quote
Hi Racer

Funny they use the metric system why think its not 100 kms ..?

Coffee lose I ............


Dave
I think it is because he works the graveyard shift, and is sleep deprived. I worked the graveyard shift once, and I know that getting adequate sleep is near impossible, and once one gains a sizable sleep deficit, well, all I can say is there aren't any drugs or alcohol that will produce the state of euphoria that lack of sleep does.


QuoteOriginally posted by MarkJerling Quote
Metric system. 100 miles = 160km.
Yes, Mark, even with my poor math skills, I know that much.

QuoteOriginally posted by tim60 Quote
He became so unwell through the journey his capacity for doing mental arithmetic was impaired.
Mark's math was flawless.

This all started with Dave.



QuoteOriginally posted by CharLac Quote
He has a hard time doing math(s) when he is dehydrated

Mark is a math whiz, man. A math whiz I say.

You youngun.


Dave?

Not so much.
