Someone starts a thread and before you know it, the subject takes a nose-dive, completely off-course. Then it turns into a conversation between two or more members about something else entirely. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to respond here with an entirely different subject. You can talk about your cucumber garden, your pet hyena, the weather, what's on TV, likes-dislikes, etc. Better yet, have a conversation with one or more of the other members about things you want to talk about which have nothing to do with the original post. You can rest assured that it will be read. Remember, the one who changes the subject the furthest WINS.

A lot of work makes for a "good" tired. smile2

Tires that have good tread make for good stops.

I'm not keen on mountain climbing!

$I\'m okay$

The sunset was spectacular tonight.

Tonight is a long way off.

morning coffee

It's too cold to be outside!

Summer has hi jacked Spring in Australia and it's too nice to stay inside..

Tomorrow is going to be just right here in Philly, with a high of about 68 (F).

by lorry p Tue Oct 20, 2015 6:00 pm

It rained quite heavy over night and I can hear the garden breathing a sigh of relief.

What part of OZ are you in, Lorry?

by lorry p Wed Oct 21, 2015 6:10 am

The bottom of Australia Tater. Victoria is a lovely place to live. (-:
I really am "down under" lol

by Tater Salad Wed Oct 21, 2015 6:17 am

Are you very far from Melbourne?

by lorry p Wed Oct 21, 2015 6:19 am

About 2.5 hours approx.. depending on traffic.. lol
You know Melbourne Tater?

by Tater Salad Wed Oct 21, 2015 6:27 am

Just what I know from reading about it. I know it's in Victoria, and Australia's second largest city, with about 4.3 million people, I believe, and quite a cosmopolitan city, from my understanding. Of course, it doesn't have one of the world's most famous opera houses, like OZ's largest city...

by lorry p Wed Oct 21, 2015 6:31 am

Melbourne is a huge city.. far too big for this country girl. I don't like going there and am always glad to go home. I live close to the Otway Ranges.. tree ferns, beaches, rainforrests.. just beautiful countryside living.

by Tater Salad Wed Oct 21, 2015 6:57 am

Sounds wonderful. Philly is plenty big enough for me, with 1.5 million in the city limits, and maybe 6 million in the metro area. I'm on the far edge of the city, so I'm closer to a lot of the suburbs and quiet areas than I am to center city.

by lorry p Wed Oct 21, 2015 7:08 am

In the part of Victoria I live, there is approx. 15, 000 population and if you include the surrounding area, there would be approx. another 15,000.... Five minutes drive from where I live, takes you into the countryside.. and I live in a very rural area. Melbourne's population on the other hand is just short of 4 million people. It is supposedly the most liveable city in the world.. but not for me.

by Breezey Breezey Wed Oct 21, 2015 7:53 am

You two stayed ON topic long enough for me to learn some things!

I'm waiting for the sunrise. Coffee in hand. smile2

by lorry p Wed Oct 21, 2015 7:54 am

What did you learn Breezey while waiting for the sun to rise?

by Breezey Breezey Wed Oct 21, 2015 8:16 am

the sun came up...going outside! happy

by lorry p Wed Oct 21, 2015 8:18 am

Getting late.. going to bed... Enjoy your day Yafooey group smiley

Well it's official; the Cubs will once again NOT win the World Series this year. The Back to the Future prediction was WRONG!

Michael J. Fox is a legend

by Breezey Breezey Thu Oct 22, 2015 7:06 am

My first thought was "what's that got to do with anything?!" and then... oh yeah...right. lol

by lorry p Thu Oct 22, 2015 7:15 am

What if it was "Back to the past" instead?

by Breezey Breezey Thu Oct 22, 2015 8:36 am

What's the price of tea in China?

by Tater Salad Thu Oct 22, 2015 6:34 pm

The price of tea in China is approximately equal to the cost of coffee in Ecuador.

by lorry p Thu Oct 22, 2015 6:54 pm

Soaking paper in black tea makes paper look very old.

by Tater Salad Fri Oct 23, 2015 2:30 am

And what else do you know about forging antiquated documents? laughing ass off

by lorry p Fri Oct 23, 2015 8:15 am

You are on to me now Tater... lol.. All the tea in China can not make me disclose that one.. ha ha ha.

by Tater Salad Sat Oct 24, 2015 3:55 am

How much tea is there in China?

by lorry p Sat Oct 24, 2015 8:06 am

I have never been to China, but I have been to Perth. They had a lot of tea there.

by Breezey Breezey Sat Oct 24, 2015 9:20 am

squirrels and chipmunks love black walnuts! Do you ever share with the wild creatures?

by Tater Salad Sat Oct 24, 2015 6:41 pm

One of the scariest noises is the sound of a black walnut falling out of a tree from 80 feet above your head at 1 o'clock in the morning.

by lorry p Sat Oct 24, 2015 6:45 pm

The sounds and sights of the country are breathtaking.

by Tater Salad Sat Oct 24, 2015 6:52 pm

Except when you think you're being attacked!

by lorry p Sat Oct 24, 2015 7:10 pm

The only bears in the Aussie countryside are Koala bears.

by Tater Salad Sat Oct 24, 2015 7:21 pm

Koala bears are the cutest little things, but they aren't really bears, are they? Aren't they actually marsupials? Should this post be in the questions only thread?

by lorry p Sat Oct 24, 2015 7:25 pm

Strictly speaking probably.. lol.

Koala's have a lot to bear, considering that their homes are being destroyed by the logging that is being done in their habitat.

by Tater Salad Sat Oct 24, 2015 7:37 pm

At the risk of remaining on-topic, I wasn't aware that there were many large forests in Oz.
I always pictured mainly grasslands and the great outback!

by lorry p Sat Oct 24, 2015 7:59 pm

Risky business was a good movie. Tom Cruise was last sighted in his underwear in the many forests in Australia before he went outback and got lost a Uluru. (Ayers Rock) whilst being chased by a wild bull in the vast grasslands.

by Breezey Breezey Sat Oct 24, 2015 8:16 pm

What a mixed up mess!

by lorry p Sat Oct 24, 2015 10:41 pm

Tom Cruise was a mess after the wild bull got to him.. so was his white underwear he wore in the movie... lol

by Tater Salad Sun Oct 25, 2015 4:33 am

"Tom Cruise was last sighted in his underwear in the many forests in Australia before he went outback and got lost a Uluru."

I must have missed that part. Was that where he met Nicole Kidman?

by lorry p Sun Oct 25, 2015 7:51 am

Nicole Kidman would have been better off meeting the wild bull.

by Tater Salad Sun Oct 25, 2015 8:03 am

His other 2 wives would have as well!

by lorry p Sun Oct 25, 2015 8:06 am

Bette Midler was in the movie.. First Wives Club.. and that's no bull.

by Breezey Breezey Sun Oct 25, 2015 8:09 am

It's morning, daylight is arriving and coffee is good! smile2

by lorry p Sun Oct 25, 2015 8:13 am

It's nightime.. Sleep is essential, but such a waste of time that you never get back. australia flag

by Tater Salad Sun Oct 25, 2015 8:19 am

Sleep, perchance to dream...or something like that.
