Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness...a gypsy song

Welcome All. a new day, a new thead...a new place to play.

Pretty lillies!! I get to be the line leader behind you, Moon?

I think Trina's among the missing today. JJs locked herself in the bathroom.

Dave, don't like no sodacokepop, but probably drink too much coffee. My daughter is into those vitamin water drinks - I tell her "read the label, they're mostly sugar".

I found some Halloween pictures:

(I didn't do this, someone else did)

SmileyJ any time the mood strikes ya, YOU can be the leader.....equal opportunity gypsies.....grin

Coffee is good! Rich in magnesium, more antioxidants than orange juice! (Another cup please!)

High fructose corn syrup is the culprit behind many of the health issues in the Country today.

Hey Venice have your checked your computer shop for ink refill kits? They can make printing more affordable, if you don't mind doing the work.
Fold a legal envelope in half, cut on the fold; now you have two efficient seed containers.

Get back to ya in a minute Dave....getting that next cup o' coffee....grin

A pumpkin barfing! Very creative!

I'll share that info with a coworker. We're the coffeeholics.

That was interesting Moon. I never heard of him before. Sent the link to my home computer.

Anyone who plays an 8 string guitar with that skill is worth a look in my book....grin

I bought one of those refill kits and had problems with it. I tried to get a cartridge refill at 2 different Walgreens. They had problems with my cartridge. Now I just try to be trifty with my printing.

By the way, I drink Caffeine Free Diet Coke. I know that isn't good either! But I drink about one a day and the rest of the time I drink lots of water.

Moon, pretty pretty color of lily!

Smiley, your pumpkin isn't smiling!! lol

An eight string guitar! Who are you talking about Jean? Is that a Mandolin?

Click on the link above, Dave.

Venice, in your printer setup (or maybe preferences, depending on your printer) you can usually set it to fast draft instead of normal. It prints well, you can't tell the difference, but saves ink.

Moon, Jack was left handed, but would flip his guitar around and play right handed. Said it was easier, he could pick up anyone's guitar and play. Dave, are you a lefty?

I am amazed at the number of lefties that do that.....Jimi Hendrix played his upside down cuz he was left-handed.


Charlie Hunter plays 8 string guitar Dave....he is really good.

Smiley, the settings I have are: automatic, quick print, normal, better, best.

So which one would you suggest?

I would try the quick print. Like I said, on our printer anyways, you can't tell the difference, but it saves some ink.

Quick Print to save ink, Venice.

Never heard of Charlie Hunter; impressive!

Yes I am a lefty, although I was forced to play a guitar & swing a baseball bat right handed when I was a kid.

It was set on automatic so I changed it to quick print. My printer isn't all that great even on that other setting. I will let you know if I see any difference. Thanks.

Gotta run for a bit. Catch you guys later....Dave, hope you enjoy Charlie Hunter's music

Here is a link for Hallowe'en.....cackling kiddo

You might have to do that every time, Venice. Ours is an HP, yours might not have to be done that way.

Do you follow baseball now Dave? Favorite team?

I cut with a scissors right handed. In school they would say "lefties raise your hands" and give us left handed scissors, which only folded the paper. Frustrating.

I've learned to use the number pad on the keyboard at work, now I can't do it any other way.

I usually watch the playoffs, when the teams are actually trying hard to win. I vote for the winning team!

I was trained to do most things right handed as a kid, but it never stuck; I remained left handed, and am told I'm "hard-headed".
My little brother was born a lefty too, and was trained like I was; now he is ambidextrous.

Smiley, you are right! I can't see a difference. And I looked after I printed and did a couple of things, and it still is set the same. I will check it every so often to make sure it is on that setting. It really didn't seem to print any quicker. Is it suppose to be quicker?

I think it's just supposed to be a quick look-see, to make sure everything is the way you want it before it sucks the life out of your cartridges.

Whatever!!!

I was required to sit on my left hand.....NUNS.....seriously messed with my left-right parity.....I will point to the right, but say left....have discovered the hand knows what the mouth doesn't....LOL

that's really messing with someone's head, Moon.

Here is the Yellow Parasol Mushroom, fully opened.

I am glad we saw it before it opened. Cool!!

Yup....and I am not even Catholic....grin...heard all about the sinister left....real joke when I took Latin and found out they were saying left left.....

My oldest son is left handed and GSJordan holds his pencil and fork like a lefty, just with his right hand.....

Moon, didn't get the joke!

I do that still today! Point left and say "turn right". My left hand is the right hand!

Sinister is the Latin word for left.....the sinister left is actually....left left.

Guess that must mean that our brains don't know what our hands are doing, or we don't know our left hand from our right....lol.....I prefer to say my right hand has no idea what the left hand is up to.....grin

good afternoon everybody! I went seed hunting this morning...found some good seeds and found some neat stuff that I don't know what is and I found a house i want to buy and I met with the real estate agent about it... so here are my pics from today

Here are some single hollyhocks I gathered plenty of seeds but don't ask me which ones are what color!

some red dianthus I got a few seeds from it but not many

Hey Jean, being left handed means you're creative minded, rather than calculative.

a different marigold than mine I thing its cute....got plenty of seeds

Found ya's Again!

LOL, what a big bummer, missed the louow..(forgive that spalling Dave)lol,
Well any wow, you sure can play quite the number of instruments!

Love that one of you smiling big! Looks like you were having a ball.

Your DD is so pretty, JJ. How does she like Marching band?
...Well I can add a Saxaphonist! My DD played for 8 years!
She's Kind of like Trina, plays all kinds of instruments
My lil guy plays Violin and Breenie, plays, Clarinet as well...
Me...I just watch cuz, i can barely hum a tune...

lol, believe or not, I am a lefty tooo, grew up in the right handed world.

OH my gosh thats the same mushroom from yesterday?? It opened really quick! and istn't it vibrant.

Loved all the bands you mentioned, some I know and some have no clue, but sound like lots of fun.

Hahaha, crazy picture of the sick pumpkin!

Trina, excellent job on cut way back on smokes...clapping hands for ya.
...sorry about that issue from yesterday...hope it all clears up.

Geesh, Kacey hope you had a good nights sleep, what do you do that your schedual flectuates like that?

Waiving a hardy hello to all...still learning everyones name, lol.
Oh yeah, i'd think using toilet paper for a costume is quite crafty!!
