That means don't jump down on the tracks.
I also like "mind the gap" when a subway train comes in.

Good to hear thanks,
I had a chance to buy into an apartment building years ago in Destin and didn't do it. (Wish I had, could have bought in for about 125k, I would have had to borrow some at that time to do it but it was a larger complex at the time.)(I actually lived in Radcliff, Ky at the time.)
We will want a ranch style home with some yard but are open. (Thinking something around 2k SF. with an attached garage, open to changes considering other amenities.) I doubt we would do the condo route in any event but that works for many. Thanks again! (My son lives in Gainesville but that is about out.)
Edit; I just looked up the area. I am thinking Tampa is about as far south as we'd like. In thinking about our likes too I am thinking on the Atlantic side nearer Jacksonville may be more to our liking. (Thinking the Atlantic fishing may be better. I have fished the gulf side a lot too and would have no issue with that (Warmer water.), just thinking out loud.)

Yep. That's where Jamie & Murtaugh Frazier went.
Took a 3 hour nap and now I'm good to go. Not going anywhere. Gonna do dishes and maybe a load of laundry. Feels like a movie day.
Yeah, those foreign words can trip you up. When I was stuck in puritanical Saudi Arabia for a few months and every image of an attractive woman was banned -- while the local women wore black frocks head to toe -- I was suddenly excited to spot a magazine called BIMBO.
I also like "mind the gap" when a subway train comes in.
Alas, it was imported from Italy, where BIMBO means infant, and when I opened it up it was just a bunch of photos of little babies frolicking around -- cute, but not what I'd hoped for.
Old humor from Will Rogers:

No I don't, but it was real close to Crestwood, I remember crossing railroad tracks in Crestwood.
I know what You mean Ben!
Florida is a very diverse state and it is 900 miles from Pensacola to Key West. Most people prefer the Gulf for fishing and beaches. But no matter where you live you are only at most 60 miles from the coast.
A county not far from where you son lives was named the best "retirement" areas in Florida and that is Citrus County. A famous baseball player made it his retirement home because he was an avid fisherman. He name was Ted Williams. The county has about 140,000 people and a very relaxed lifestyle. I posted a sample of a 2,000 SF home on about 1 acre of land for your reference.

We don't take the word of a fisherman. Geeze your credibility went out the window! 🤣
I lived 15 years in Jacksonville in two shifts. 1976-1984 and 1992-2000. Jacksonville is a good destination, just make sure that you purchase a house that is as close to being termite proof as possible. Our house that we bought in 1992 was in Hidden Hills Country Club. It was brand new and a wonderful place. Everything was fine until 1993 when the termites swarmed in the master bath. They had to drill the house every year until I left. Thank goodness I bought a termite bond.
Now they build houses out of form block and fill with concrete, so the termite has to get to the roof before they find food. Plus after Hurricane Andrew Florida's building codes have really been improved. Just make sure that the house is up to the new codes.
Hit balls at the range yesterday. didn't over do it. Just hit some 3/4 wedges. the back came through with flying colors. First of the week, I will hit some longer irons and try to work my way up to the Driver by the end of next week, if everything keeps going well.
Gotcha. I know Crestwood pretty well
btw afternoon D
Hope all are well
Trying to post more but a little lost on the conversations right now lol
I don’t have an air fryer or an instapot
Have heard great things about both
I do a lot of baking and roasting
basketball was too difficult this year. Hoping to see some serious change.
here’s a question: would you rather let Gonzaga have an undefeated season (albeit with an asterisk) or have UCLA win #12?
ummmm...that’s all I got right now
HA, I used to be in the bug business in Kentucky....
My favorite is....the Gorger.........he has the license from the queen to irrigate your crops from wells located on the property.......his only job is to mind the irrigation systems.....or how in the hell did they come up with hasty pudding for a damn dinner roll..........
Indeed. One thing to remember is Brits are normally just as amused with our takes on the English language as we are about theirs. I always loved their usage of "torch" for common "flashlight" while we think of some caveman holding a burning stick.
I tried baking when I first built my wood oven out back........I was quickly turning into a 500lb man so I decided to give up baking........although\...........I did throw together a nice pineapple upside down cake in my cast iron bundt pan......last week.......
We would go to the Car Boot......folks just sell stuff out of the back of their car like a flea market......If I was going to move......it would be to England..........
If you are thinking the Atlantic side, I would look at the St. Augustine area.
Man awf, I have my homemade biscuits down now. My last batch was where I wanted them. We don't eat a lot of bread. I DO love home made biscuits like my Aunt Mildred used to make before I entered the service. She could have those in the oven in less than ten minutes and they were to die for. I never will forget them.
Mine are no where near hers and never will be but my oldest daughter stated she liked them now and even my wife ate one. I am going to make some more in a couple days and add some shredded sharp cheddar cheese. I have gained a couple pounds in the last few weeks but we have been out to eat a lot lately.
My Darling and I are going to the Commissary on Ft. Belvoir. My Grandson's birthday is this Saturday and my Darling wants to buy some more Beef ribs...
My hope is that Gonzaga dispatches UCLA, and Baylor takes down the Zags in the final game.
Easy. I will be a Gonzaga fan big time.
My grand daughter was born in St. Augustine. My son was full time Florida guard at the time.
That is, nearly, the best-case scenario for me also.
Or better still Houston takes down the Zags. That way Kansas’ wins over the years against Baylor do not have as much importance.
Houston has never won shit. . . . of course the Zags have never won shit either!
Ditto. Go Zags! Hope Baylor wins it all, but Gonzaga plays at a different level.
Send some of that this way Bert. We are still in the midst of the yellow clouds of smoke from the bazillion pine trees. Need a hard rain for a bit to knock it down.
The Zags. They have a juggernaut this year in a deep and talented team. Impressive display of passing, cutting, moving with and without the ball and shooting. If form holds Baylor is the only one that could threaten them because of their guards. No problem with them going undefeated. It’s time.
You know........I was reading something a while back about biscuits........the type of flour makes all the difference in the world.......for years the director made biscuits every morning......we didn't buy much loaf bread.....it ain't hard to get out of bed if your smelling fresh biscuits in the oven and a pan of bacon.......I will ascertain and report the flour info........they said it was the reason you couldn't find a nice fluffy biscuit up north.......they don't have the same flour that is available in the south......
I posted this in reply to catsfaninsc.....I don't know what happened........
My father in law was an old mountain man.......he had grown up so poor that he said they admired the "dirt poor" people.......he had home remedies for almost everything.......I have terrible allergies......I have been sneezing for two weeks already......he recommended putting a bowl full of quartered onions on the night stand next to my bed.......it clears my head up and allows me to get some sleep.......otherwise I am stuffed up and unable to breath.........my buddy in Dallas suffered from the cedar pollen twice a year.....the onions helped him......I despise the smell of stale onions........but you get used to it very quickly.........

During my trips to England, I also noted they used "rubbish" quite often. Scots and Welsh, not so much. "Taking the piss" means make fun of something. "Wanker" is really funny too, especially when they use it in a conversation.
Love the mountains best.
White Lily Flour is one. It's available in the North now....but many people don't know the difference. They think flour is flour. The staple store out in the country owned by the Amish lady I've mentioned before....she carries all kinds of flour. Other than King Arthur...you don't know the brand....she even repackages the KA but puts their name on the label. I asked her once about White Lily....she had never heard of it....but she knows all things regarding flour.
I'm fine with anyone winning it all other than UCLA.
I saw the Celtic weave and saw an eagles nest. I see your view too! Thanks.
Perfect!
Welcome!
Good news!
Cock-a-doodle do!If you guys do not mind, I will probably start jumping in from time-to-time.
I don't follow the sports side hardly at all anymore, and the Political Thread, well, you know how it is.
I like to read those threads, but I do not interact very much there.
You guys seem more my speed these days.
Welcome!
Rivals!
Hawking! Humming birds do this alot when pursuing insect prey. Dragonflies. Ambush works.
Larson is fun stuff.
I didn't bother to fill out a bracket. 1st Time that ever happen in or out. Felt Cal made an error during the chaos. Kneeling is viewed as servitude. The team lost community support. Not all but enough to tip the canoe.
. . . . your seat is assured. First table left of the Jungle!

Had not heard of that one awf. Sometimes the old remedies are the best. Tried and true. I have no problems myself with allergies. It is more of an inconvenience than anything else. Everything has a yellow tinge to it until a hard rain or time passes. The house, car, clothes, etc. Wash the car, it’s yellow 20 minutes later etc. The clouds of it with a small breeze look like smoke in the air. Just Mother Nature at work doing her thing. I feel for those that do have problems though, must be a pain in the butt this time of year.
My parents honeymooned in St. Augustine, April 1956.
Here is the article that I read.......it comes down to soft flour and hard flour........I am like Lester and Earl.....You'll bake right with Martha White.....
My daughter lived in New Market when they first went to England......the the three oldest boys went to an English school in the village......I would walk them to school and back every day......I picked them up one day and the two older boys were talking about bitches and bastards.........turns out those folks over there use those words quite extensively.....I got them straightened out.......they were like 7 & 10 yrs old......they were just repeating what they had heard......how about "getting buggered"......or have a "cracken" good day...........My last trip over I located some like minded musicians to get together with.....we would get together in a pub on Sunday afternoons........they only time I fully understood everything they were saying was when they was singing the bluegrass songs..........something else.......people flip the finger in the US.......over there they pinch their thumb and fore finger together.........it represents fulling an arrow back and releasing it......they use it quite a bit........you flip them the birds and it's, "thanks mate".....................Some of the best memories in my life are from my times over there and a couple of the worst..............
Do u get treatments for the allergies? I sneeze a lot from allergies, usually multiple times/day. And I do get stopped up many nights. That given, they are way lessened by the shots I've been taking every two weeks for almost 50 years. At the least they've stopped my multi-sinus infections/yr & the dizziness those used to cause. I was on antibiotics a lot. There were times I couldn't walk down a hall without leaning on the walls (Yes, I get drunk & it may have seemed like that at 10 in the morning, but I wasn't.).
Chutney ferrets were big when I was there.
