The Coffee House

5 hours until Buzz and I leave for Maine.

There is still some color up there! Spotty but nice if today's rain storm doesn't knock it all down. Today I was downtown and it was like a snowstorm of yellow leaves.

Drop it, please. Thank you.

I second that motion. There must be something better to argue about.

Chocolate or Vanilla? Red or White? NY or LA? Football or Soccer?
French vanilla, red, bay-bay! NY all the time, and American football. :icon_cheers:

Portrait or landscape, that's a toughie. More subjective.
 
On a more serious note though, I think @SquarePeg still wants a Silver X-T3 :D

I forgot to vote:
Chocolate syrup on vanilla ice cream
Red
NY
Meh - Ice Hockey and the Scottish Heptathlon.

I accomplished what I took of for so I'm heading out with the camera to try and capture some more alphabet. I downloaded all of my Flickr images and deleted a bunch, putting me just above 900. I'll adjust some more, later.
 
Blue Bell Great Divide for ice cream.
DSLR rather than Mirrorless.
Have no opinion on Red or White.
5 hours and a few today.
Sister and I are in Houston to attempt to get a duplicate title. Waiting for our ticket number to be called.

Vanilla with chocolate chips.
Red tonight, white as I might.
LA - there in December.
Watch Football on TV, go to a Soccer match.
Keeping my Flickr Pro for now.
Saw Bohemian Rhapsody last night and liked it.

I deleted a bunch of junk out of my Flickr but later, started to reconsider using it as my back-up storage. $50/year is not that steep. I've been debating canceling Amazon Prime as it enables my shopping addiction and we rarely use it for videos anymore. We have Graboid and Netflix... I was hesitating on canceling because I have photos on there but I can move them to Flickr... Need to see what we're going to drop and if it's worth it to keep Flickr. It is certainly the easiest option as I upload most of my photos there right now and I have icloud and an external drive...

Going to see Bohemian Rhapsody tomorrow - glad to know it was good. I'd see if just for the mood and the music...
 
I was thinking earlier on, we all pay a fortune for our cameras then some might moan about $50 per year so I think once my Flickr builds back up I will get the Pro.
 
IMO my friend Gary did overreact.

BUT the topic raises some very interesting philosophical question I think about a lot:

Is it really the good deed or is the intention more important?

Where is the line between encouraging nice behaviour and invasion of privacy?

Is it possible to come to terms with neighbours who do not want to?

Up to which point should you act yourself and when should you better call the police?

All these decisions constitute your personality much more than your behaviour IMO

Frank eagerly waiting for your opinion (drop Halloween topic)
 
Got the title (wasn't much chance it would be a problem but there was a chance)
Had 3 Taco Bell soft tacos.
We shopped at Wal-Mart in Porter.
Sister is inside Popeyes getting dinner.

I have been away for a while and came back as I saw on my Paypal that I still support this site. So a pictorial greeting from Germany:

current form of my planned house. I managed to buy parts of the neighbouring lot and can now build 600sqm living space to rent out instead of 300sqm only. Building lots are scarce in the center of our growing city.

I grew up in the country where the neighbors were far and few between. Then for over 30 years in the city where the neighbors were obnoxiously close. We built our retirement home in the country, almost a mile off the road. All we see are woods and mountains. We have a lot of neighbors (just not close) who are much nicer/caring/helpful than any of those we had in the city. Maybe it was the confining nature of the city (you're forced to be close), or maybe it's the fact that neighbors actually have to exert the effort to see one another. In any case we know and socialize with people from our little valley, and in town we hardly knew the people on our street.
 
I'll take vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce (lite/no sugar these days), or chocolate chip, or chocolate (smallish portions - little dishes!).

And there is no sport besides hockey. Or maybe curling, that's on tonight.
 
Yeah it's different in a city (at least where I worked) and different in different neighborhoods (I used to see families who didn't take their kids trick or treating because it wasn't that safe in their neighborhoods with drug dealers, etc. and now there are more community events). Neighbors that act like idiots probably just will; but even if a neighbor is nice enough, every neighbor isn't necessarily going to be involved in every community event (and they don't have to be). If noise/partying gets too loud, too disruptive, it's probably best to call and let the police handle it. If someone is being obnoxious or drunk or both, you never know how they might respond in a situation and proably better to not put yourself at risk.

I don`t need curling, my hair is too curly any way :bouncingsmileys:
