The Lounge 2

You mean the UK does not stock walnuts Jessica. I expect if we export them to Germany we'd most probably also do to the UK with the new trade deal between our two nations. How about almonds which are also very healthy?
Oh yes we have walnuts and almonds, I actually meant is your nitrate free bacon available here? I remember you mentioning it before, along with the ham.
 
How much tho is Putin bluff. He is the one making all the threats and warnings. Do the West actually take his chest beating seriously. I dont think so Jessica.
He's not taken seriously, however we are on alert. Anyway, my country will defend against any hostilities, I'm sure we are well equipped to defend our shores!๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง
 
Is everyone here tuned into the Black Friday sales?

They've started early in Perth this year so I went to the "Good Guys" and splurged on a new tablet and stick broom. I've three quarters set both up already being familiar with those things.
The techology is roaring ahead still so I stick to brands and operating systems I know.

These sales are terrific and worth a splurge now and then.

I am - for the first time. Yet no special offers seen so far. Want to buy the tax software for next year (dealing with this year) and two small compressors for my sons in law.
"I've three quarters set both up"? Could you explain this as I'm not familiar.

I'm not sure when they start here, I'll certainly be looking for a bargain though if I haven't missed out! ๐Ÿ˜€

Black Friday sales seem to happen in many western counties now Jessica. I think it came from the US and was supposed to be a one day big sale. Bigger than Christmas some say?
However, keeping an eye on it, I saw the sales here start early and go on about a week. Just google 'black friday sales near me'. Something like that. As a rough guess I got about a third off the listed prices, which may have been inflated weeks before? Our supermarkets in Oz are rife with such deceit but I did get some good deals. Not so much deceit in the IT n household appliances shops it seems to me. ๐Ÿค”.

I wall mounted the recharging system for my new low slung cordless floor vacuum today and all's honky dory. 'Drill baby drill' channelling Trump. Blooming Lithium batteries are all about my home now, and occassionally I forget to stop them charging. Heaps of cheap ones over here are exploding often causing home fires and worse. ๐Ÿ˜ฒ ... even in my car.

Thinking of Christmas gifts โ˜ƒ๏ธ for my 2 grandchildren๐Ÿงšโ€โ™€๏ธ one must be ๐Ÿงšโ€โ™‚๏ธ cautious re batteries ๐Ÿ”ฅ. Fair enough.๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿš’๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿš’

I once kissed the Blaney stone Jessica. ๐ŸŽ‰
I could talk the spines off a hedgehog. ๐Ÿฆ”

Sometimes I like to express some emotion by an icon rather than words. Not always. I feel an icon can often express better and more succinctly than words. And even be deliberately ambiguous. ๐Ÿ˜ฏ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜‰

When teaching I loved drawing pictures with lots of colours on my black and white boards. I taught the "kinkiness" of the graphs of polynomial functions with slender, smooth and colourful curves, for contrast to other powered polynomials, of course. Go Pollys. For my Seniors I explained with a deliberate straight face the more powerful a polynomial function, the more kinkiness it could have and all the possible roots it could have. I expected and ignored the sniggers and chuckles that followed but knew the general rule had sunken in, even snippets in year books.. ๐Ÿ˜‰
They were shocked to attention the day I told them I was going to teach them all about "Sets". ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜„

Language and communication is more than just words. It takes many forms and styles. Body and facial expressions, the visual in many ways, the voice including its tone, eye contact, ... like even the way one dresses and appears, .... smell, ... status, ... gold chains, .. MAGA hat, ...๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ˜จ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฐ

More importantly, I keep in touch regularly with my two east state wonderful daughters by Messenger with many an icon.๐Ÿฅฐ and funnie.
