Again here

Funny thing here. We have no south Sherbrooke, just east, west and north. Confusing but true!

[fishinghat]

here again

 

"The township Tay Valley was incorporated on January 1, 1998 by amalgamating the former townships of Bathurst, South Sherbrooke and North Burgess. It was originally known as the township of Bathurst Burgess Sherbrooke, but adopted the name of Tay Valley on July 30, 2002."        Wiki

 

So actually there was a South Sherbrooke before 2002.

again informed

 

 

Wow, I'm learning all sorts of stuff here!  Thanks, guys!!!

[gail]

Informed wrongly

Now now Fisherman, South Sherbrooke is or was in the province of Ontario. This is different.

The Sherbrooke I live in, is in the province of Quebec.

When I say no south, I mean no one lives in the south of Sherbrooke, you either live in the west, the east or north.

Confusion is our friend, it's OK, I know nothing from the states either.

wrongly described


She is often wrongly described as an aloof intellectual, but she is really a serene and sublime thinker of dreams. For example, she wondered what would happen to the Arms Industry if it learned we are all one.

described fully

 

Now Now Now Gail

You said;
 

"We have no south Sherbrooke, just east, west and north. Confusing but true!"

 When you said 'we' I thought you meant Canada.

 

Anyway tou are right. Women are always right!! 'sigh"

[gail]

Fully understand

Good night all!

[TryinginFL]

Understand confusion

 

 

[gail]

Confusion always

Good morning, brain asleep at thismoment!

[TryinginFL]

always, forever

 

 

I seem to be confused always and forever!  

[gail]

Forever young

Just got back from the woods, mushroom hunting.

Found a bunch of chanterelles(flake variety). And others that need to be identified. It can be very confusing.

[TryinginFL]

young people

 

 

Sounds wonderful, Gail  -  I love mushrooms! (No woods around here)

 

And Congratulations on going by yourself!  Are you going for coffee and cookies?

[gail]

People talk

Liz, let me eat it first and if I am still alive tomorrow, come and have some.

My friend is in Montreal taking a week end course on the inner child or something like that.

I feel as though my life was given back to me in the last week. Love to go by myself. Wanted to go back this afternoon but I am too tired.
And that's fine, there is always tomorrow! Thank you God.

[TryinginFL]

Talk loudly

 

 

I'm so happy that the past week has been good for you, Gail!

 

Whatever you are doing, keep it up!

[gail]

Loudly said

The only thing that I changed was switching from one sugar substitute to Stevia. The rest could be a matter of anything. I am grateful.

If all that shit was in connection with artificial sweeteners, I will bite my head off. Been using them for decades or centuries!

[thismoment]

said a

 

Gail, you said a lot: You said you strived to improve your life-- which boosts your sense of dignity. And you said you felt gratitude for that rise in your spirit-- then your body rewarded that growth with the upwelling of endorphins, the body's natural high!

 

It's what it's all about!

[gail]

A bit

TM, I guess a bit of that also, endorphins. I could not have done it last year, well, I did, but with great anxiety.

Liz, you did not miss anything with my chanterelles, they had a wee bitter taste. Through them over the balcony for animals to eat them.

[TryinginFL]

bit off

 

 

She bit off more than she could chew!  Sorry about the mushrooms, Gail - hope the little creatures liked them!

 

Wouldn't it be a kick if your problems were actually caused by an artificial sweetener??

[gail]

Off guard

A kick you say? Hum!!!!!! A kick in the ass is what I would give myself.

Enough of me, how is it going with you? Is the appetite back?

[TryinginFL]

guard house

 

 

Yes, appetite is somewhat better, but I still can't eat much at one time.  I tend to snack throughout the day and have an early dinner.  I must confess, though, that I could be eating cleaner!   At least I haven't gained any weight back!

[gail]

House bound

No weight gain, great. Same here, for the moment.

I eat clean till supper, not much of an appetite.

And after supper, cravings set in. Chips, sour cream and onion variety. Can't resist most of the time. And a yogurt before bed.

[TryinginFL]

bound hands

 

 

When she woke up she discovered her bound hands.  What happened?

[thismoment]

hands saying


it may not always be so; and i say
that if your lips, which i have loved, should touch
another's, and your dear strong fingers clutch
his heart, as mine in time not far away;
if on another's face your sweet hair lay
in such a silence as i know, or such
great writhing words as, uttering overmuch,
stand helplessly before the spirit at bay;

if this should be, i say if this should be—
you of my heart, send me a little word;
that i may go unto him, and take his hands,
saying, Accept all happiness from me.
Then shall i turn my face, and hear one bird
sing terribly afar in the lost lands.

Saying hello

Thismoment, do you know these poems by heart?
And, out if curiosity, are you by any chance a poet yourself?

Intriguing Thismoment♥

[TryinginFL]

Hello there!

 

 

It made me sad to see that poem - not only was it beautiful, but it was TM's 2500 mark.

 

You will be so missed TM and we look forward to your occasional stopping by.

[gail]

There, under

I was right there, under the steaming sun when it happened.

Hi Liz! Steaming hot and humid here, shaved my head to on quart of an inch this morning.

[TryinginFL]

under where?

 

 

Hi Gail!

 

Hot and steamy here as well but had some rain late this afternoon - was looking for the rainbow but couldn't find it!

 

My hair is not much longer than yours!

[gail]

Where to?

Hey Liz, we are alone here today! Let's go wild, no one to watch us.

Short hair, not short enough, i could go bald. The heat in that thick hair is unbearable. 104 Fahrenheit for the next 3 days, humidex included. No rain.

Found 4 hazelnuts yesterday, so, sitting at my table with plyers, I opened them. The last one had a funny taste, swallowed it and what do I see in the shell? A yucky white thing moving its way on the table, almost through up, swallowed a cookie real fast! All kinds of things are happening recently. That was disgusting!

[TryinginFL]

to dinner

 

 

Oh, yuck!  If I had seen that white thing I would have thrown up!   Thankfully there was only one!

 

I am surprised that it is so hot there!  It is almost worse than here, but we do get a lot of rain this time of year.  Is also hurricane season, but nothing out there so far.  Is it normal for it to be so hot there?

 

Yep, it sure is quiet here today!

[gail]

Dinner later

Forgot to say it was gluey, like something coming out of your nose, love details. Fisherman must have a recipe for that also, I am almost sure!

We have a few periods of three to five days in a row like that every year. What's next? Welcome guests!
