I love this weather..warms up to around 20 C during the day and nice cool nights for sleeping. The best of both worlds. It isn't any country for girliemen thou.

7C is still shorts weather for me.

Thought you claimed to be from upstate New York.......or am I confusing you with Wayne?

"Must be Wayne. I have spent a lot of time in New York (NYC, Hudson
Valley and Endicott/Binghampton area) but only on temporary
assignments.
I am from DC, Maryland and Florida."


Hope you don't take offence when I refer to 'southern boys'
I'm talking about Justine, Ditzy Dan, Johnny and the guy with the Palm Sisters.


Offense.



"Offence" is the prevalent way of spelling that word in English-speaking
countries outside of the disUnited States, dummy.


How is an American suppose to know that?
Sometimes I forget that foreigners post here.


As you are ignorant of language and usage, perhaps you shouldn't comment
on those topics.


Perhsps if you minded your own business, folks wouldn't rub your
nose in the dirt. Eh tubby?



*You* asked a question about language and usage, a subject about which
you frequently have demonstrated ignorance. You also are delusional; I
care not a whit about what you right-wing dirtbags here think you are
rubbing.

I'm glad you don't mind if we trash you. Wouldn't want to hurt
your feelings :-)



It matters not to me whether you righties live or die.

How very humanitarian of you!

I'm sure there are a fair number of "righties" who feel the same about
you.

I give you credit however for helping to keep this group active.

My mother was a Republican, though she left the party during the Reagan
Administration. I did volunteer work for a GOP congressman in the 1960
campaign, making phone calls and driving voters to the polls. I came of
age politically in 1968 when I decided the Dems were much more to my
liking than the Repubs, though I did admire Nixon's intelligence and
Ford's decency.

Actually, you do care. It's the hard working, tax paying,
patriotic Americans that take up the slack for you slackers and
hangers on who bull**** your way through life. And lose some
weight fat boy or the taxpayers will end up paying for
preventable fat related medical expenses on your behalf.



Maybe some Gas-X tablets will help you relieve that pressure that is
troubling you.


How do you plan to deal with your bloat? Perhaps it's you who's
full of gas. Or maybe it's just plain old blubber. Whatever it
is, you look disgusting.
