The Coffee House

They keep canceling i hope they plan on giving me my money back.

Your chances are FAT and SLIM.

I took a semester class at a community college some years ago. Half the classes were cancelled, and I was royally miffed. It was after the semester had ended I found out the some of my classmates received a refund, but I asked "too late" to receive a refund.

ROYALLY!!!!

And I'm STILL mad!

Begs the question too... if they keep canceling, how is he going to have time to build his robot in the remaining classes? I think i will give them a call.

Remember the farm with the guinea pig barn.

I couldn't possibly forget - I think about it all the time. Some want to retire to Florida? I want to retire to a farm and be around animals all day long

Netflix "We just bought a zoo" or maybe "I just bought a zoo".

@ Nancy- Most of my recipes come from the back yard. I start with the entre from the store then check the yard to see what's available and then mix stuff up for flavoring. Right now I have a boatload of oranges, lemons and a few limes ... so I'm marinating stuff in that and then I chop and add herbs. With the cod I wanted some more earthy so it stuck with basil and rosemary. Other stuff cilantro, or sage, I have a ton of thyme, mint, tarragon, verbena, lemon balm, lemongrass, oregano, peppers, so I just select what I think may taste good. I don't think cooking with wine adds many calories as the heat burns off the alcohol. Don't use olive oil with high heat (400F+), it changes into a carcinogen. For high heat cooking I use grapeseed oil, colorless and tasteless.

Hold on there a bit City Girl!!! Everybody loves the country when the visit. That's cause the visit for a few days as someones guest and then leave.

Country is heat and dust and snow where the winters get down to forty below
And the works is hard and the pay sure low and it ain't all roses being country.
So hang in there folks don't do nothin' foolish now
You got yourself a nice high paying job, air conditioned offices.
Yea you got movie theaters right on down the street there.
You got yourself a city park too, now that's country,
and there you don't have to worry about no rattle snakes biting you on your leg,
Or no abominable snowman coming down and tearing off your head or nothing like that there.

Just keep in mind them things don't feed themselves, milk themselves, saddle or break themselves, nor bring you the eggs in a basket, on the bacon on a plate and all of God's green earth is their toilet. They don't clean their toilet either. Home to them is where they pooped last or dropped the last egg and they sure as all get out love to wander around and see new things and poop in new places if they get the chance to get away. Especially if it is outside the fence, barn, corral or pen. They dearly love to play hide and seek by the highway at 3:00 a.m.

Me? A city girl???

Not even close. Closest movie theater is about 6 miles away but there are chickens running around yards of houses within walking distance. I grew up playing in the woods and helping my father split wood.

And the job means I am making more money but it would still be a gross overstatement to consider me "high paid."

And don't forget - I'm the "freak" who loves winter.

So just relax with the lecture about the country.

Ahh, so quiet around here today without the kid. He's at the grandparents' for the day. Nice and peaceful around here.

The short answer is; he can't. I hope they can work in enough class time for him to get it all done. Maybe suggest another session at no extra cost.

I had chickens and rabbits when I was a kid. My dad had cows, although I didn't help with the milking. I actually miss the smell of chicken manure. We get a whiff of it now and then here in town when the wind is coming from the direction of the closest poultry farm.

So I just noticed Bribius's badge............ Poster of the Month!! What's that all about?! Most posts? Most interesting? Is it a numbers thing?! What did I miss?!

Oh, and congrats! I guess?! Surely it's a good thing? Unless it's just a sheer numbers thing. Then, you just get a meh from me.

Is it me, February or this forum got really exceedingly boring dull? I think we urgently need some holy war about some pointless image or something. Can someone stir it up please? Throw some **** at the fan? Start a thread about paedophile photogs talking images other peoples' kids? Moronic street shooters with consideration for others privacy? Canon being ****? 85 mm being too short for a portrait? Another thread about d750? People, do something, do not let us rot in mutual appreciation. Photography is fun after all. Guys, this forum is seriously underperforming atm.

'kay. You go first. Then, when you get banned, we'll get some excitement going talking about you.

OK then. This is window shopping London style.

They're doing more prescribed burns out here at the refuge. Hmmmm...... I wonder what a long exposure with the Lee Big Stopper (Black Ice) would look like?! Parking and setting up now lol!!

Sashbar, how long did you wait until that particular group of people walked by the window? Because I could interpret that shot as "culture clash".

Unfortunately we're too far south. They're getting pummeled up north.
