Crikey, just googled that too! :blush: what can I say, we are a passionate bunch!

John, I had to Google what you meant by cactus. In Scotland we usually just say a variety of rude words. I think of cacti as being prickly, tough and able to live a long time in harsh, dusty, dry environments. I suspect your nurses and doctors think you are a bit prickly, your humour through...

You are probably best to speak to your pharmacist if you are juggling a lot of medication and are unsure. Medicine is their area of expertise, not the docs. The docs shouldn't have left it to you to work out the timings for all the different medication. Some medications you can't take...

Sorry to hear that John. Wishing you a quick recovery. Listen to your docs, I hear most of the time they know what they are talking about!

Yikes, glad you are okay.

I've not had chocolate for months so a bar of chocolate is top of the list, a couple of jigsaws and a couple of books (for the dark cold nights of winter) and a weekend Christmas break in Belfast.

My husband would be wearing the pans if he bought them for my Christmas. If cooking was a hobby rather than a chore ..... hmmmm... nope, he'd stil be wearing them! Actually, he'd be using them, he cooks more than I do.

Hope you both get over it soon.

I didn't change mine either.

The way it's going these days with pensions etc we might need that certificate when we are 85!

Hi, there's a thread on POTN from a guy trying to remember a photographer's name who he saw on YouTube. He's not giving much info to go on but can one of the POTN members suggest Sam Abell to him. He worked for national geographic and did a talk about 7/8 years ago on YouTube. Might be him.

I can't even recall all the ones I currently own!

Just remember your knitting!

I've got one similar to this. Brought it over from Bratislava. It's great fun. I love Scooters. Ovi, you are better off starting with a normal/manual bike rather than an electric one and just build up your stamina. If you cycle often it shouldn't take you long. Cycling or any exercise is...

With the limited time we have available for this trip we've decided to fly in/out of Denver instead so we can have more time to visit Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. Mount St Helens etc are sadly going to have to wait until 2024.

Hi I’m seeking your travel advice for a trip we are planning from Seattle to Jackson Hole in September 2023. We only have about 16 days for the trip and would be flying in from the UK. Yellowstone and the Grand Teton national Parks are the main draw but from the UK its much, much cheaper to...

That is sad news. Sorry for your loss.

Lovely to hear from you again Bill, you are always in our hearts so never think you are forgotten. So glad you are still lurking.

Impressive, but they did know how to make a lot of cool shaped cars in the 60s.

LOL I have smaller dreams. I bought my dream car last year, a Smart Fortwo Coupe 1.0 Passion. Definitely no racing in it, unless the passenger gets out and pushes! That does look nice though.

Wow. I don’t have any tradition that I can think of. They must be good though or they wouldn’t be drawing you back. Do you ever get the opportunity to get into the cars? Have you tried racing yourself?

Good to know. I can’t imagine these days being in such a large crowd. Will you be going this year?

In Scotland, due to the Covid restrictions, I am not allowed to leave my own county, never mind the country. In fact I need a really good excuse just to leave the house. I was supposed to be doing a road trip from Denver to Seattle this year but it’s unlikely the Scottish Government will lift...

That looks good. I can’t remember why but I had been reading about the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series thinking those crazy Americans were racing huge RVs around a track but was disappointed that it was just pick up trucks. Not that I don’t like pick up trucks but racing with RVs or while...

Be kind to yourself Tim and do what you feel is right. But remember on this forum we also like fun, out of focus, what on Earth was he thinking when he pointed his camera at that, mundane, quirky, cats, dogs and tractors type of photographs too. Ones that are technically bloody brilliant...

I'm so sorry for your loss Tim. My heart and thoughts are with you. I can only imagine how you might be feeling just now, and even then I'm sure I'm not even close. Just know that if you ever need friends to talk to, we're here for you. You are not alone.

Let it snow ...

Buying shoes or slippers on the internet is a bit of an adventure! I don’t envy you the challenge. It’s a bit like a lucky dip! My mum asked me to buy her a pair of “baffies” on Monday but we are still in lockdown in Scotland so I had to resort to finding a pair on Amazon. She normally takes...

I think most (not all) use the "like" on this forum simply to acknowledge the post. Sometimes I find myself looking for a "I really quite like this but it's not quite a winner" option - you know like a bronze cup or a silver cup.

I’m glad you explained that ... I was thinking maybe you didn’t use the word phone in the US!

Might just be an antique shop! I’m predominantly mobile.

Of course, if u are feeling really creative and have the right tools at home you can make your own. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Puzzle%3famp=1

We have three in the cupboard in our spare room apparently. Of course I’d have to tidy up that spare room to find them. We have an old Nintendo Wii in that room too. Might dig that out. It used to be fun.

I’ve not had one made before but just googled to see if u can get 1000 piece puzzles made for you from photographs in the UK. You can from a few online companies. So I guess you can in the US. I’ve not done a jigsaw puzzle in years, I mean seriously YEARS. Not sure if we have any hiding in...

Good to see you back Dean, take care.

I’m always in for a challenge so count me in.

I'm super excited, Kiki's Delivery Service is first on my list to watch!

Thanks for posting an update Sue.

I’m super excited about this. Not sure if this is for global Netflix users but in the UK we are in for a treat ... Studio Ghibli on Netflix: 'It's like a Japanese Disney'

I currently pay for both Flickr and Smugmug. I had planned to move all my pictures over to Smugmug and ditch Flickr altogether but over a year has passed and I still have both. I think the reason is part because I'm too busy (lazy) to sort out my files and part because I am nostalgic about the...

Words fail me Sue, just keep yourself safe x

To answer your question, no. But that sounds like an amazing opportunity. Congratulations!

Yikes, sorry to hear about your lens. Glad you are okay though!

I always get my amazon deliveries sent to the nearest amazon lockers for me to pick up. I’ve not had any problems with the packaging to date. Was your lens from amazon or from their market place? If they are not processed and packaged by amazon I can understand why their packaging might not...

This puts me in mind of a conversation I once had with someone about absolutes. He asked me if I believed there were such a thing as absolutes in life. After much thought, I said there were no absolutes but, of course, as soon as I said this I realised that I’d just made one. So, what I’m...

I wonder if any of our younger selves would recognise the people we have become today. Life’s experiences and challenges make us change in so many ways that I some times wonder who it is that’s looking back at me in the mirror. Hang in there. We might not physically be with you, but we are...

I’ve suffered a type of fatigue once in my life time. One day I was fit and healthy, the next I was beyond exhausted. Overcoming the urge to lie down took real effort. It was like gravity was fighting with me. I felt completely drained and my blood pumping through my body just felt fuzzy...

That’s great news. What exercise regime have they given you to aid your recovery?

You’ll be signed up for the half marathon before you know it. It’s amazing how quickly the body heals.
