  1. I don't know how you did the drive Dog. I had less than half the distance and I am beat.

    As to the second bottle of Maderiera it was some time before you fell asleep on the ground outside of your tent.

    Getting old? I think that happened while you wern't looking ...I know that is what happened with me.

  2. The travel plans that were made and all that I needed to do was confirm the time of departure. ...I was wrong.

    A project I had been working on was nearly done. ...Carelessness and iced tea said otherwise.

    Had to send a package in the mail ...got to the post office as they were locking the door.

    The car was parked. ...the emergency break was not on. The car ended up across the parking lot with its rear wheels in the grass. Not enough speed for the front wheels to go over the curb also. Thank heavens there was no car behind me and I wasn't parked in the street ...no damage! Whew.

    I am glad it is another day.

  3. I hear Nick ...errr Nicholas (I hear he can get violent when you call him Nick) is a quiet man, a bit ...abrasive with one heck of a temper but in the photo he has such a smile ...was he drunk?

  4. Very good images, Cheeky me dear. I think one was miss captioned. It is of 'Dogge, Matty Bottles and Lily. It was captioned 'Dogge, Nick and a cleaned shaven Matty Bottles. FYI, if I'm wrong, feel free to slap me. ;)

    Animal

    Can I slap him?!
  5. It will likely surprise some that I to agree.

    I agree that posting in a dialect is difficult on the reader and often too much work to bother reading. I have posted many times using my Irish "dialect". It can't be read in silence, this is likely because I spell it as I speak it. I know it takes work to read it because it takes work to write it! lol I have stopped that practice save for a few sentences here and there ...and when I do it these days I often include a translation. lol

    For all my past transgressions I beg forgiveness. B) In the future I vow to use it only in quotes and keep it out of the narration.

    As to my spoken dialect the Irish often turns towards Scottish because the many conversations I have had with Callenish in the past but I have been told I do a good job of it. Towards the end of a 3 month semester in England (many years back) I was accused of affecting an American accent. lol The English dialect had taken root. My Issue with using a dialect at an event is holding it. I must beguin to practice "turning" it on and off or just keep it even in the after hours of the event not just when needed.

    I also vow to find a better spell checker.

  6. Wow. What a shame.

    Makes it vividly clear why those who sale on the Kalmar Nykle are required to know where ALL the fire extinguishers are and why we regularly have fire drills, hourly boat checks and have emergency assignments even when she is in maintenance there is crew aboard and all procedures are followed.

    Bows head with Dorian and others.

  7. The length could be to keep it down so that it doesn't tuck into the petticoat by accident? It could also be simply a fashion statement, how it lays, where it draws attention to and from. Could be that the longer jackets and mantuas were simply too long and got in the way.

    I could go on speculating but I am guessing that like me you would like actual answers hu? lol

  8. Welcome!

    I was in P-town for a few days just last year! Roomed just down the peer from the museum on the Kalmar Nykel. You must have been out of town at the time.

    Well have a look around, this place is a museum of sorts full of all sorts of information about old relics ...like me. lol
