I have a thing about sound that muffles or eliminates the top frequencies - like those old cassette tapes when they were copied too many times....

[moe]

Do you remember the 8 tracks?

[westgrandboulevard]

I remember, but never used them.

[144man]

Are they the same as what we called cartridges? No one I knew used them.

[moe]

Yes. Was looking at an old car not long ago. Lo and behold there was an 8 track player. And it still worked!!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Was the sound quality of 8 tracks/cartridges better than the cassette tapes?

[moe]

No, never.

[westgrandboulevard]

Ah! Glad I never tried them, then....

[moe]

Lucky you, westgrand!

[westgrandboulevard]

Funny how we never really know our luck in anything, until we look back and then realise it in hindsight- or someone else brings it to our attention.

Just too busy at the time, I guess...!

[moe]

Sometimes things happen for a reason, westgrand.........and you benefitted from it!!

[westgrandboulevard]

I'd rather do something and get the benefit.

Not doing something, and therefore suffering no loss by default [[but no chance of benefit either) seems negative to me, somehow....

[moe]

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good, westgrand.........

[westgrandboulevard]

True! Luck is all around us, and in plentiful supply, yet doesn't exist until we recognise it.

Strange thing, perception.

[moe]

Quite right..........

[westgrandboulevard]

I remain, perceptively yours....

[144man]

I can't remember which golfer said, "It's funny, but the more I practise the luckier I get".

[westgrandboulevard]

Whoever it was, they got a hole in one....

[moe]

And a free drink at the 19th hole!!!

[westgrandboulevard]

I feel like a camel.

[moe]

As long as you don't spit like one, westgrand!

[westgrandboulevard]

When I do it, I'm elegant

[moe]

It's the only way to be..........

[westgrandboulevard]

I be what I be. Just sometimes, people ain't be buyin'....

[144man]

If you get a hole in one, don't you have to buy everyone a drink rather than get a free one?

[westgrandboulevard]

It depends on how the occasion is perceived, and by whom.

If it's your birthday, some will celebrate by buying you a drink. And some expect you to celebrate it by buying THEM one. Cheapskates!

[moe]

If you get a hole in one here, westgrand, you buy the round!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Then, unless I'm being paid to play, I'm not playing.....

[moe]

So a spectator you shall be......

[westgrandboulevard]

A reporter I shall be......

[moe]

A reporter who shall imbibe on the sidelines.....

[westgrandboulevard]

Sidelines generally suits me fine. Imagine a cat sat on a wall, observing the world as it turns. That's me.....

[moe]

Well, then you should have your milk as you sit watching...........meow

[westgrandboulevard]

Thank you moe, but water only, if you please. Milk often not so good for we pussy cats....

[144man]

...but a little bit makes a nice occasional treat.

[moe]

Just like a piece of pie, cookie, cake, etc...............

[westgrandboulevard]

As milk can sometimes upset the digestion of feline pussy cats, then pie,cookie and cake would do exceptionally well as a treat, please - speaking just for this particular human form of pussy cat, of course.

And especially if any are made at home.

Do we have any home bakers here?

[moe]

Cookies anyone?

[westgrandboulevard]

Sounds good to me! Assuming you have yours with coffee, what's your favourite recipe?

[moe]

Where do you want me to start? Lemon bars, 7 layer bars?

[westgrandboulevard]

Lemon bars would do it for me! Recipe please, or internet reference - and hurry.....

7 layer bars? Operator - information please.....?

[moe]

Those lemon bars were my father's favorite!!! I must look for the recipe!!

7layer bars have a layer of graham cracker with melted butter, coconut, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, Eagle Brand condensed milk, nuts. Simple!

[westgrandboulevard]

Yes, look! And I'll look forward to that lemon bar recipe.

Will think about those 7 layer bars. They sound l-o-a-d-e-d. Coconut sounds good. Presumably there's a reason for using condensed milk....

[144man]

Banoffee Pie also uses condensed milk.

[westgrandboulevard]

Then that lemon bar recipe becomes ever more attractive......

PS. Your mail box is full........

[moe]

Again?? Very popular!!

[144man]

Somebody needs to explain to me how putting messages into folders works.

[westgrandboulevard]

I think that may also include me.

Here on SDF, I think we're only made aware when we're advised by email that our mailbox is full, because someone has attempted to send us a personal message Otherwise, it seems we just have to monitor the totals......

[moe]

Well well, it seems some of our friends here are VERY popular!!! I just keep track.

[westgrandboulevard]

Well Moe, speaking for myself,I couldn't say I do such a lot of personal messaging, and certainly am not one for networking, although I much appreciate the SDF 'friends' I do have.

It's just that I don't immediately delete the messages, and I also keep copies of the 'sent' ones, so the maximum of 50 can be reached steadily over a period of time.
