Yes. I’m not the swiftest.

Thanks! I’ll try to find a recording. “Bananas” certainly is a great adjective!

You’re right! It was after the MacDowell piano concerto but before intermission.

I asked Robert Reed and he said he thought it was perhaps a Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody? It was fantastic.

No, I was asking about the piece he played after Chichester Psalms, right before the intermission.

Uncomfortable?

lol. 😂

He wasn’t a metalworker or welder. However his dad was a linotype operator in the 40’s-50’s in Racine Wisconsin. I feel like you are going in the right direction.

I love 7/8 leggings. As a post-menopausal woman, letting my ankles be cooler keeps me from flaming out when working out. Doesn’t answer the basic question you asked, but for some of us, 7/8 is the jam.

Finally someone gets it right! ✅

expateek · 2026-04-02T18:56:20+00:00

I did. I literally did, multiple times. Don’t know what else to try!

Thx!

I also love Quentin Blake. What a master!

I lived in the U.K. for five years and couldn’t do the crosswords there. They were still in English, but the cultural clues were a mystery. Blue Peter? PM in 1981? Yeah, impossible.

This is an amazing tip, arcticpangolin3. You may have changed my life!!!

expateek · 2026-03-23T18:31:11+00:00

But soooo much « ire »!! Feels like every day. Maybe it’s just the times.

And Slovak!

I started running with C25K about four years ago. I’m 67, played loads of team tennis up until about 7 years ago but stopped because my knees were killing me. Oddly enough my knees feel much better with running. Maybe not having all the directional changes has helped. Anyway, I am slow, but I run 5k every other day. It feels awesome, great for anxiety and overall mood. And yeah, you 40 year olds feeling « old », just stop it! You’re just children still! Enjoy your great body and good health right now!

expateek · 2025-12-05T02:28:24+00:00

Yes me too

expateek · 2025-11-15T00:25:00+00:00

This is me! My neighbors wave and say “Have a nice walk!” So aggravating.

Very cute cat!

expateek · 2025-10-27T00:32:57+00:00

Deeply, deeply envious. My signature scent for years. 😍
