Happy birthday, I hope that it was amazing!!


It was, thank you.
Ok, I thought this may have been a little specific, so...


She (Titanic) had four but one was for show while Lucy (Lusitania) had four that were good.
(RMS Queen)Mary has three and (RMS Queen)Elizabeth had two but poor (MS Queen)Victoria only has one.

Get it now?

Gillian, You have to come and visit us over here!
One of the things I find most irritating is when remakes are made of TV shows or movies which were particularly good because of the era in which they were produced and the actors who populated them and made those characters their own.
The recent Dad's Army movie was a case in point.

That said, a good remake of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea could be worthwhile.

Let's get to work on these badge numbers, so we can get back to reading and writing, and growing our little writing community.

This is what I'm trying to do.


So was I.
Computer.
Less waste, easier to correct errors and faster.

So, in the same vein...

Digital photography or film photography?
As a child my all time favourites were the Gerry Anderson shows:
Thunderbirds
Captain Scarlet
Secret Service
UFO

And:
Bewitched
I Dream of Genie

And then, as I grew older:
On the Buses
Last of the Summer Wine
The Sweeney
Hill street blues
The Prisoner

And now there are so many good shows:
Babylon Berlin
The Tunnel
The Bridge
The Good Wife
The Good Doctor
Wolf Creek
A Discovery of Witches
Constantine
Black sails
Vikings
Curse of Oak Island
Forged in Fire

And so on...


Wow!! Thank you so much, everyone! I had a wonderful day, thank you and now you have all made it perfect.

My list isn't long...

England
Wales
Scotland
(Obviously)
Germany
Cyprus
France
Netherlands
Switzerland
Austria
Italy
Belgium and...

The Falkland Islands.

I would love to visit Norway.

I appreciate the artwork but not on flesh. I call them 'skin graffiti'

Oml AMZ ..this made me laugh ..my dad thinks the same thing ..so what does his daughters do ..yes, three out four of us went and got tattoo while the sons have none 😂😂😂😂😂😂 too funny

Teaching or Learning


My son has many. Again, the artwork is good but I hate them.

I can't choose as both are important. We should never stop learning and what we learn we should pass on.


Being taught or learning from experience?
Brain.

She had four but one was for show while Lucy had four that were good.
Mary has three and Elizabeth had two but poor Victoria only has one.
I use Buds for convenience such as when listening to my work on 'text to speech' but for pure listening pleasure and relaxation, 'over the ear' is by far my preferred choice.

Watching movies on TV: Surround sound or just TV speakers?
Unequivocally NO tattoos. I appreciate the artwork but not on flesh. I call them 'skin graffiti'.

Physical artworks or digital artworks?

Every member, from the crotchety old man in the corner to the dude at the head of the parade with pom-poms, is entitled to an opinion. As I've explained to a couple of members, it isn't the opinion expressed so much as the manner in which it is presented. Be respectful. Be flexible. Be open-minded and consider all sides of an issue.

There are many ways on SS that an author is lauded and/or recognized for achievement. Ratings, views, RR's, EC's, front cover listings and badges. All of which are subjective. At this point, it's the best we got and tweaking of the processes are currently being considered.

Larryf's well-intentioned post was spot on. These things we are currently discussing should be elements of SS that makes being a member more relevant. We should be more supportive and trumpet the victories of each other rather than assuming that just because one author got a piece of pie means there is none left for anybody else.

Gypsy and Ping are right. We are a community, generously supported by Nicola. Let's not waste the opportunity being offered here and encourage new members, mentor those who want help, and celebrate the endeavors of our friends.

ps. and I'll try not being the crotchety old man in the corner.


Hear, Hear, Larry. Well said.
As a shift worker, any but having days off during the week is great as towns and supermarkets are quieter.

Christmas in winter or summer?
Quote by gypsy

I am not going to lose sleep over it, nor will it hinder or help me with the stories I am struggling to write. It should not be an issue for you or anyone else, either.



Bit harsh, don't you think?
You were at the end of the line,
But now you've finished your time.
I think that it's mighty fine,
Being here at the end of the line.
