You should see me ride it with the wind in my hair 😃

@helenS Wooo hooo :)

@hippyjoe1955
Ah! He never got the memo!
That's what happens when we don't read our emails! 🤭

@swirlie Yeah it was pretty funny. Of course it was funny when we were pulling into Surrey the snow started to fall and suddenly there was a traffic jam at the bottom of a small hill. No one there had snow tires on their car and they couldn't climb the hill. I'm from Alberta so I had snow tires on my 4 X 4 pickup. I wonder how long they waited for the snow to melt before they got to the top of the hill. I didn't hang around to find out.

@hippyjoe1955
Oh, that is just way too funny! I remember a while back when Victoria got hit with a storm and the city came to a standstill with 4 inches of snow that had fallen! They had no snow plows, so road graders were ferried from the mainland over to Victoria to grade the snow off the main roadways! I wonder how that worked out!

@Musicman I have heard it many times while growing up, but has been decades since I heard it last, it's about our true worth and value, even when others think we're not worthy. Just recently a Strad violin sold for just under $12million...

@NativePortlander1970 That is so cool. My violin has the Stratovarious markings, but I have been told by non professionals that there is absolutely no way it can be real. So who knows 🤷‍♂

@Musicman A lot of violin makers liked to imitate the markings, my late ex fiancee's younger son played and had a unique sound, his violin was last appraised to be worth $17,000 and has Strad markings as well. The interesting thing is that there are numerous violins the Stradivarius factory made, in the hundreds, but the valuable ones are the instruments he personally crafted.

@Steph34 just the iphone x my hub has the 16 pro max because he thinks he has to have every newest phone ever 🙄 but i don't like paying top dollar for a new phone 😤🙄😏 i wish i could eliminate some of the stalker-ware and ai off of it but i'm not techie enough 😬

@YoMomma I am so sorry to read that! Glad that your hubs has gotten you a new phone! You sound so pleased with it.

@Fishy fish is not a thing. fish is a who 😝

@4meAndyou They act like they are scared of anything but greens and celery.

@cherokeepatti Obviously just not used to it.

@cherokeepatti I have to get into the shower, so my cleaning lady doesn't get soaked trying to clean it tomorrow. Talk later!

@scorpiolovedeep I am intrigued. I have not seen or heard of that. What does it do?

Example:

If a child presses the palm into the needles, you would see the 3D version of their palm, once the it is slowly retrieved.

I will try to get a photo for you when I get home, I am at work now.

@ArishMell

@scorpiolovedeep Oh, I see! Thank you!

The image gives an optical illusion that the pin-board is perforated, like a sieve.

Now you've explained it, I think I have seen small versions of them.

@seaglass ear buds?

@Steph34 No, actual headphones. I hate earbuds

@helenS

Fortunately or unfortunately, I haven't had a drink in about 8 years. I do try to pair a good cigar with a good cup of coffee though.

@calicuz Oh yes, coffee and cigars go together well too! ☕
