Well, in my old age, the three selling points on cars are 'gas mileage', 'warranty" and "safety features'.

I'm all about not putting more money in. And there are some very reasonably priced new cars, these days, if you ain't fancy.

Hey, Sas and Varna.

***Varnafindë*** · 04-23-2008, 10:17 AM

Hey, sis!

Your old age? Is it close to mine?

Hard to say.

A recent influx of quarrelsome Noldari has made all discussion of age difficult.

I tend to side with Aslan on this one. "All times are soon to me. "

***Varnafindë*** · 04-23-2008, 11:34 AM

Has there been discussion of age? I haven't been to all recent threads since I joined - and I haven't read everything in the Teacup since I joined either. Sometimes it moves too fast for me.

quarrelsome Noldari

How is this? I've seen discussions, but no quarrels.

Hey, Sis and Varna! Well, I started my english miderm today. >.< But he good news is I found out that I got all a-pluses on my science and history midterm! ^_^ Yay!

**Mari** · 04-23-2008, 12:33 PM

Way to go Sas! But I thought you were home schooled. Do you get grades then?
Or did I just misunderstand big time?

Today I learned how to tap beer. Can I get someone any? I also still have peach cider and the usual tea on offer

The last sane person · 04-23-2008, 12:33 PM

*grins* Yer an old fart, that much is true Sis!

But we love you all the same, and dont think for a moment that your seniority will ever make me stop tackling, glomping, hugging and my dipsmackery cease!

*quickly raises hand, to bravely volunteer for Mari's Beer tapping skills*

***Varnafindë*** · 04-23-2008, 12:45 PM

That's great, Sas!

And tea for me, please.

**Mari** · 04-23-2008, 01:15 PM

*taps a nearly perfect beer for Sane and pours a perfect cup of tea for Varna*
Here you go!

My hands still smell like latex gloves. Yuck. I think I'm gonna go wash them again... AFTER I tackle Sane... *makes ready for a nice dive in Sane's direction, but waits till she has put her near perfectly tapped beer down*

The weather is really spooky here by the way. >_<

sisterandcousinandaunt · 04-23-2008, 01:16 PM

*sits down with tea, as well*

Do you have to take standardized tests, Sas? We don't, here.

**Mari** · 04-23-2008, 01:19 PM

Sis! Too bad you have tea in your hands...

I guess I'll have to tackle you later then.

I'll go sit by the fire then to wait and warm up. *shivers*

Cold there, honey? It's nice here...I need to get my onions in.

**Mari** · 04-23-2008, 01:27 PM

It was great weather, but now I have a thunderstorm over my head with a lot of rain. AND my uniform consisted of a t-shirt... which wasn't very nice in the rain.
What kind of onions are you planting Sis? Red ones, forest onions, ordinary? (Yes, I translated the Dutch names, so I have no idea if it makes sense in English

)

Just meaning I'm not sure whether I am speaking to a person several thousand years old, or a new poster. Lines have gotten kind of blurred.

I guess. I just had to take these tests 'cause of the curriculem. >.< And yes Mari. I still get graded like everyone else. ^_^

Well...I'm planting some red ones, I already have 'walking onions'. I might have other types...my enthusiasm tends to lead me into a vast array of bags with misc garden items, which I sort through when I tire of tripping over them, or the planets align correctly.

For example, I will be planting whatever potatoes I have that sprouted before being eaten. I used to order fancy types (and will never be rid of the blue ones) but just planting the leftovers works just as well for me.

sisterandcousinandaunt · 04-23-2008, 01:34 PM

Sorry about the spelling...it seems to be worse than usual, today. I spelled 'well" as "wekk", for example. Perhaps it's naptime.

**Mari** · 04-23-2008, 01:38 PM

Blue... potatoes...? Now that sounds like a story!

But planting what you eat does make sense. I like forest onions (the very small and thin ones) because they are easy to put into a meal meant for one. And I like the taste

Do you have carrots? That cake you gave me yesterday, was it from your garden? (I know I know, mind the time of year Mari, bla bla, but it is virtual anyhow)

Sas, I asked because Tfan said something about not having been graded before.

EDIT: Sis, if spelling where a good reason to go take a nap, I would sleep almost 24/7

HINT: use firefox instead of internet explorer and install a dictionary as an add-on. Works great for me!

The last sane person · 04-23-2008, 01:43 PM

*in a blur of motion, Sane puts down her beer and launches her pre-emptive strike and Mari, tackling her to the floor*

Hehe, nice beer tapping skills! Mari, you want to help me set up our Brewpub?

*gets off Mari and helps her up, then launches on Sis*

The Sasquatch of Fangorn · 04-23-2008, 01:44 PM

*pours an energy drink* I need a boost. *drinks and starts bouncing off the walls again *
