How did we get to the page turn?

I think an example of sarcasm would be for someone to use the word 'disirregardless' right about now.

No Mo, spring arrived, but it has yet to leave. Very cold for late May, with frost warnings the last two nights and lows of around 2. The tulips *and other reminders of spring and summer) are in full bloom DISIRREGARDLESS!

Irregardless of dissing others shall we move on?

Greg, our winters always seem long but yours.. . . I love Canada but I wouldn't be able to exit the house for most of the year.

Jamie, you cannot retire until you find #3.....

Who says today's kids aren't smart? Well, some of them are!
At a high school in Texas a group of students played a prank on the school.
They let three goats loose in the school.
Before they let them go they painted numbers on the sides of the goats: 1, 2 and 4.
Local school administrators spent most of the day looking for #3.

But where else can you get such great ice wine Mo?

mAen all!

While I prefer a sunny day with blue skies, this photo does capture the subtle beauty of a gray day.

Love the goat story, Greg.
A healthy prank.

Now there's a word the origin of which it would be nice to know - prank. I may have to go for a quick google

I once said to a friend on this site that I thought the difference between irony and sarcasm was that irony cuts across ideas, whereas sarcasm merely cuts. That about says it for me.

Disregardless, of the topic of the moment, it is now going on 2 PM and still no news. Darn it.

I am off to see my doc, hopefully there will be news when we return.

The photo intrigues me because of the darkness of the beach. That is either from the low sunlight or/and (I suspect) from black volcanic sand.
Even if that isn't one, jet black beaches of volcanic ash are wonderful.

I have been lurking. Love the story Greg!

You've been to the northern beaches of Bali, Rayray?

They are often quite devoid of tourists too!

Amazing as they are tourists disregard them in favour of white or golden sand. Rather like jewellery, gold, platinum and silver are prefered to japanned black and Jet

Mo (from one of your earlier posts) do you know how to make ginger beer? This is something I'd like to learn.

a footprint in sand
be it black, white or golden
will only survive
till the tide turns the ocean

Glinda I will do a little search for you for the recipe.
When I was a kid you would be given a 'mother' plant. This would be in a jar and would be half of someones ginger beer yeast base. You would then feed it with ground ginger and sugar each day for several days. I remember my mother adding More...

Thanks! I found a company that will sell a kit, but you have to keep purchasing the ginger extract from them. I was hoping to figure out a way to make it using my own flavor base.

Gannie-Mo: Yes I have been to Bali and seen the beaches there, but the most spectacuar ones I've seen were in Iceland.

OSTRICHES WITH SELF-INFLICTED BLINDESS

To humans once it seemed quite clear -
that the earth was flat and not a sphere.

We thought the heavens moved round the earth -
and not the sun - that provoked mirth.

When a central sun he did suggest -
Galileo was locked in More...

Glinda, check the receipe in this link:

Mo: Is this similar to your Mum's receipe?

CG: like the #3 and also ice wine!
Glinda: well worded distinction

Yes CG that is as near as I can remember.
Glinda try that one. Only difference my mum would have used fresh yeast.

HI all! Apologies to everyone except Kathy for the glitch in yesterday's riddle from braingle.com. Nothing to do with yours truly! What word was it you mis-typed Kathy in your post?

Mo were you one of the Famous Five ginger beer drinkers?

She loves to see me suffer!
The word would be Id's, Fiona.
My little fingers were still shaking from trying to write out your stupid riddle.

or from imagining them slowly wringing my neck...!

Good evening. If anyone is interested in black sandy beaches I have photographs of Icelandic beaches on my flikr link on my page. They were taken by my son a few years ago now. Some are quite beautiful.

I would love a copy of 'Poplollies and Bellibones : a celebration of lost Words' by Susan Kelz Sterling. Does anyone have this? It is on my list of 'must haves' before I pop off.

André there is one for sale on eBay I've put the item number in a private message to you

André, there are lots of copies available through Amazon. I sent you a link in a private message.

If you find 'Poplolies & Belliboness' perhaps you could start a 'Lost Word For the Day' post! I for one, would love it!

the book looks interesting André and grass-hopper's suggestion is good - I mean where on earth else would you be able to use these words but here!

Well let us start here - what exactly is Bellibones?

While I was attempting to research Bellibones I came across 'Hufty-Tufty' but I think we could do without too many of them on this site!
