How many times do you go on to Litnet per day, on average of course?

[Pendragon]

Twice

How many different threads do you monitor?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

Probably four of the Games threads. I'm trying to work up the noyve (yes, I said noyve, as I are a New Yorker) to set my toe in the water on the more serious literature threads, as I am a full-on knuckle-dragger compared to some of you people.

How many movie directors can you name?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

A lot fewer than you can name composers.

How many poops do you give when some witless dullard says "I'm offended!" by something you say?

[Pendragon]

None. I like to play the Eagle's hit song "Get Over It!"

How many people do you suppose were offended by my answer?

[tonywalt]

No one. In fact it's just the 3 of us pining away the days on the games forum. Something for the Eulogy: he spent hours surfing litnet, making posts, looking around - not lost, but something we cannot find words for. His friends......

[Tyrion Cheddar]

His friends couldn't be arsed to attend his funeral as they were busy being precocious on litnet.

How many Dornishmen does it take to shoe a horse?

[bounty]

i read 9, one to do the shoeing and 8 to lift up the horse.

how many books are you reading right now?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

One, since I've begun disciplining myself to read one at a time, finish it, and then move on. The book is "The Book Thief," and it is breaking my heart so painfully I'm not sure I'll be able to finish it.

How many games of Dungeons & Dragons did you and your high school friends play on a Friday or a Saturday night, because none of you had girlfriends or a date or an invitation to a cool party, so you sat there eating cheese doodles and arguing over the rules of D&D--not knowing, as it happened, that you were paving the way for World of Warcraft--and then, tired and mad at your friend for being a biased dungeon master who shouldn't have let your other friend get away with having his dragon swallow you and poop you out, you went home, pulled out that one copy of Penthouse you had squirreled away between the mattress and the box spring, and "used it" for the umpteenth time.

[tonywalt]

Quite a few.

How many miles are on your car? (kilometres?)

[Pendragon]

I have turned over the 100,000 miles on my truck, but she still runs well and is in good condition for being about 15 years old!

How many vehicles of any type do you own?

[bounty]

2---my car, a Subaru outback (~183000) which I got this past year when the frame on my old Volvo wagon (~230000) got too bad to fix, and an old Suzuki 550 that ive not ridden in too many years (and three bicycles---road bike, touring bike, mtn bike).

how many miles in the most you've ridden on a bike in one day?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

Maybe 12?

What's the maximum number of homicides you would commit before considering switching to decaf?

[bounty]

I don't drink coffee if that's the implication, but I do have tea daily, one big whoppin' cup in the morning and nary a homicidal thought is related to its consumption. smiles...

how many of the brady bunch actors/actresses can you name?

[papayahed]

Robert Reed, Florence Henderson, Eve Plumb......damn.....Greg was just on a reality show and for the life of me I can't remember his real name.


How many numbers of pi do you know?

[bounty]

greg is barry Williams, smiles...about a month ago at a yard sale I picked up Maureen McCormick (Marcia Marcia Marcia!) biography...

alas---just 3.14...so only two decimals places.

going backwards from Obama, how many US presidents can you name?

[papayahed]

Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagen, Carter, Ford, Nixon.....Johnson....Kennedy...I had to look up the rest but of course Eisenhower, Truman, Roosevelt. duh!

(Yes! Barry Williams. And Peter was on a show also, can't remember his name either)


How many steps is it from your couch to your refrigerator?

[bounty]

peter was Christopher knight---partially I remember that because he was married to a playboy centerfold for a while and they had their own reality tv show.

small house (more or less cabin in the woods), so just 6 to be able to open the door...

how many books by Charles dickens can you name?

[papayahed]

7 - Pickwick papers, a christmas carol, great expectations, oliver twist, hard times, nicholas nickleby, little dorrit... I know I'm forgetting something big..

How many US football teams can you name?

[bounty]

david copperfield, and a tale of two cities! smiles...

if you mean the nfl, all 32 of them (can you trust me?), even though I don't pay a whole lot of attention. a handful of years ago before some of the moves, rearranging and expansions, I could have placed them all in their conferences too.

how many hours in a car before it starts to feel like you want to get out?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

Forty minutes. And y'all forgot Bleak House and Martin Chuzzlewit.

How many times have you been on a date and had to break wind so badly you thought your colon would pop?

[papayahed]

That's before I felt comfortable breaking wind in front of said date correct? In that case probably ~5.

How many Arnold Schwarzenegger movies can you name?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

Pumping Iron, Terminator, Conan, Kindergarten Cop, Twins, Red Sonja, Commando, and the one where he got pregnant, whatever that was called. Oh, yeah, Junior. How'd I do? :-0

[papayahed]

How many grapes can you fit in your mouth at one time?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

Wouldn't you like to know. :-0 Uh...7? I have a container of seedless grapes right next to me, and am estimating based on their size.

How many times have you bought new underwear at the store because all your other pairs were dirty?

[bounty]

zero...

how many times is the most you have seen a particular movie?

[Pendragon]

Probably a dozen times, the Dark Knight series.

How many of the superhero live action movies have you seen these past 10 years?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

Gods, I can think of the Dark Knight series and the 2007 Superman with Brandon Routh which I loved but no one else did. Oh, I did see the Ironman movies--would that I'd stopped after the first one--and the first Avengers. I guess that's eight.

How many times, after getting all dressed up and going out to either a business or social event, have you splashed water on your trousers when washing your hands in the men's room, and worried that others will think it's pee?

[bounty]

I don't have a comprehensive memory on that account, but I have vague memories of it happening at least a few times. am going to guess 3.

how many hours of sleep at night is too little?

[Pendragon]

less than four

How many consecutive days have you stayed awake?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

Up to five. A lifelong insomniac, in my early thirties I went through a horrendous period in which I'd be up for several days straight before finally collapsing, only to have the cycle repeat itself.

How many drugs did you try or use in your youth before forswearing the whole damn thing?

[bounty]

[papayahed]

kim, khloe, kris, khamomile, kalomine,

How many pairs of shoes is too many?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

If one more pair requires an additional suitcase and the accompanying delay at TSA, that's too many.

How many meals of tuna salad would you be willing to eat, foregoing more interesting meals in an effort to lose weight? (I ask because if I eat one more...)

[bounty]

I think variety is the spice of life, but also, our wills should be able to overcome all sorts of adversity, including tuna salad challenges. so, ad infinitum (or ad nauseum?) would be my answer.

but that said tyrion--it should be relatively easy to swap out a tuna salad for something very equivalent.

papayahed, good one, but you forgot kake, kandy and soda pop! laughs...

how many pounds would you like to (should?) lose?

[papayahed]

50

How many boxes of cereal are in your cupboard?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

How many containers of butter, margarine or I Can't Believe I'm Eating This **** do you go through per year?

[bounty]

maybe 2-3 16 oz packages. I could get by with 0-1 pretty easily.

how many prescription medications do you take?

[tonywalt]

1

Same question

[Tyrion Cheddar]

Not as many as I'd like. I hear oxy's awesome.

How many times have you smoked something not necessarily legal when you were in high school but possibly legal now in your state and listened to Dark Side of the Moon?

[bounty]

ah tyrion, you got me again---not a once, and the same for pink Floyd's the wall too...

how many musical artists haven't you seen in concert but whom youd like to?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

oh, god, bounty, as a musician and lifelong music devotee, were I to start listing them we'd still be here when fresh cucumbers fermented into pickles.

And what do you mean not once? Getting high, putting on a pair of Koss headphones, lying back on the bed and drifting off to Dark Side is a spiritual rite of passage. I'm beginning to suspect ye of 'aving communist sympathies...

How many times this year have you expected to drift right off to sleep but found yourself filled with boundless energy when you'd like to be dreaming of native girls walking on white sand beaches?

[bounty]

laughs...nope, im a conservative leaning libertarian type...and dark side of the moon was during my high school days and it got plenty of play time, just sans pharmacopeia...

what instruments do you play tyrion?

by the way, being a lover of music, have you read bel canto?

thankfully, I think zero to that question too....my time for dedicated reading is right before sleep so that, combined with a fair amount of physical activity and careful caffeine consumption, does a pretty good job of cueing my brain to sleep.

how many x-men can you name?

[North Star]

Dr X, Beast, Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, Gambit, Iceman, Cyclops, Angel. That's nine.

How many Pre-Raphaelites can you name?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

Well, since I don't know anyone named Raphael, none.

How many minutes/hours can you go without peeing after drinking a pot of tea?

[Troyia]

Depends on the weather, alcohol intake and friends who might make you laugh :D Maybe 24h.

How many seconds can you abstain from thinking?

[Pendragon]

None. You cannot stop thinking. Even asleep your mind is active. You cease to think when you cease to live!

How many books are on your bedside table at the moment?

[bounty]

my sleeping arrangements preclude a bedside table, so zero. plus, whatever book im reading at present, I move it around with me throughout the day. have it sitting right here with me at the moment actually...

how many actors/actresses' are there whose movies you would watch more or less because that person was in it?

[North Star]

my sleeping arrangements preclude a bedside table, so zero. plus, whatever book im reading at present, I move it around with me throughout the day. have it sitting right here with me at the moment actually...

how many actors/actresses' are there whose movies you would watch more or less because that person was in it?
Maria Falconetti, Tatsuya Nakadai, Toshiro Mifune, Jack Nicholson, Anthony Hopkins, Ingrid Bergman, Max von Sydow, Robin Williams, Meryl Streep (although I draw the line this side of Mamma Mia!, no matter how much I may like Abba), Philip Seymour Hoffman, Emma Thompson, Morgan Freeman, Idris Elba, Ralph Fiennes, Natalie Portman, Michael Gambon, Ian McKellen, Alec Guinness, Robert De Niro, and Patrick Stewart.

How many directors are there whose movies you would watch more or less just because they directed the movie?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

I'd have done better with this question when I was young and used to keep us with directors. And have hair. Let's see...Probably no more than a few now, though in part that may be due to age, because I've found that nowadays I don't automatically watch movies the way I did in my youth.

How many times in your life are you reasonable sure you saw something paranormal? And no, I don't mean your mother-in-law.

[Pendragon]

Perhaps five times I have seen things I can't explain. Paranormal? Maybe...

How many time have you refused to believe something that was later proven to be correct--and still refused to believe it?

[bounty]

that's a good question, and probably hints to an aspect of "stubbornness" that might not be all that desirable...but for me, its probably an unanswerable question, something I haven't really kept track of throughout my life.

~how many ounces in your morning cup of whatever?

[tonywalt]

7 ounces coffee

How many days of vacation do you have remaining this year? (And if you don't work: How many days will you go away on travel?)

[bounty]

was hoping someone else would answer that but in an effort to keep the thread moving...

im in a peculiar life situation that leads me to answer "n/a" to the first part, and zero for the last part.

no im not in prison!

how many pages to go in the book you are presently in? (and some comment on the remaining pages please)

[Tyrion Cheddar]

Well, since I'm listening to "The Martian" in audiobook form, I don't know how many pages, but I have about two-thirds of the book remaining. And it's OK, bounty, we would never judge you for being in prison. I read the police report and fully understand how frustrating a trip to the DMV can be.

How many licks does it take to get the center of a Tootsie roll pop?

[bounty]

laughs...speaking of the dmv---the local mechanics telling me 3k to fix my car to make it pass nys inspection. so im not too happy with the state at the moment.

i think i asked that question some time ago...3 if we are to believe the wise owl.

whats going to happen in the rest of the martian story?

how many non-fiction books have you read in the past year? (and feel invited to say the titles)

[Tyrion Cheddar]

I think three, which would include two Ray Kurzweil books and a Michio Kaku book.

No idea what's going to happen in the rest of "The Martian" because I gave up on it. A very clever idea for a story and so well-researched, but the writing is rather mechanical and since I can more or less guess how it turns out (but don't tell me if you know) and will probably see the movie, I bid it farewell.

How many layers of blankets, comforters, etc. do you sleep under in winter?

[bounty]

two---my usual is one sleeping bag and one quilt but this season though ive been going with two quilts. they are both really big too and can be doubled up for three or four layers if i want. i keep the door to my bedroom closed and so the temperature in the room is probably high 50s. long sleeves and pj bottoms, plus i sleep with a hat in the winter too.

how many miles in a "good hike?"

[Tyrion Cheddar]

bounty, the visual of your pj bottoms was more information than I ever needed. ;-) On the other hand, the hat visual gave me a real giggle. I pictured a fedora. ;-)

A good hike, for me, is from my refrigerator back to my bedroom, where I collapse on the bed in front of this very screen. In my youth I did plenty of hiking and saw some glorious country, but nowadays I'd rather lie comfortably back and watch it glorious high definition. That way I can sip tea and make popcorn. :-0

How many types of tea or coffee do you have in your kitchen?

[bounty]

laughs...while I wouldnt go so far as to say the pj bottoms are dashing, especially sans fedora, they are quintessentially "woodsy"---the classic red and black squares you might see on a lumberjack's working shirt.

the "hat" is usually a light felt-type simple version of a balaclava. military issue actually, ive had it, and a sister to it, for 34 yrs.

0 coffee, ~15 kinds/flavors of tea, though usually there's more. over the past few years ive made a point of saying tea would be a great Christmas present, so id often have about 20-30.

how many tv shows/programs do you kinda sorta make a point of watching regularly?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

<facepalm> bounty, what did I just tell you about too much information? Am I going to have to stop this car? I don't want to hear about the red and black squares on your jammies, any more than I want to hear about your Superman underpants. And any guy who wears a balaclava while he sleeps spends his weekends out "on maneuvers" with his militia buddies, prints his own currency, and likes his friends to call him "the Colonel."

I would say I watch maybe four shows that are broadcast weekly, though I sometimes don't watch them till the season is over so I can marathon view them, and then perhaps five or six of the dramas on Netflix or Amazon, each of which amounts to about two days' viewing since whole seasons are released at once (which I love) and I marathon them as well.

How many times a year do you become inebriated to any degree, either intentionally or not?

[bounty]

laughs...yeah but you like woodsy, I mean we're talking right out of the Duluth trading company or hugh jackman in wolverine...

despite the balaclava, no militias, officer monikers or underground mints here...

im a teetotaler so zero days of inebriation for me.

how many days do you typically go between drinking any soda pop?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

I never drink soda pop so the number of days is as many as I've had or will be fortunate enough to have yet. And I'm a teetotaler myself, so no inebriation for me, either.

The Duluth Trading Company...I'm going to have to look them up. ;-) And re: Wolverine, do you shave with the steel claws?

How many bands/singers who've been making their music for less than ten years do you listen to?

[bounty]

heck, I eschew shaving almost as much as I eschew alcohol...so no need for the claws in that regard...smiles...

probably too many to know and its constantly changing---whenever I get exposed to a new song I like, i'll hunt up a collection of songs by the person/group and end up becoming at least a nominal fan. ive recently gotten turned on to lorde, the pretty reckless, zella day, the civil wars, and the steeldrivers just to name a handful...

how many chick flick chick lit movies/books have you seen/read?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

The Notebook is the only chick flick that comes to mind at the moment. Years ago I used to like a writer named Jeanette Winterson who, from what I understand, is a real gonad-smashing feminist [expletive deleted]. Popular with certain women, apparently.

I do the same thing when I hear a song I like, I investigate the artist and often become a fan. Mostly I stumble across new artists on YouTube, it's great for that. I ended up liking Lorde, too, for a number of reasons, but have been wondering if, whenever she releases her follow-up album, she'll be big still, or will turn out to have been a flash in the pan. We shall see.

How many caches of food, weapons, etc. do you have buried in secret locations in the woods for when you have to bug out due to Planet X returning and causing worldwide zombie-ism?

[bounty]

alas, zero. though the thought of building and having a sort of survival oasis is appealing on a variety of levels, science fiction notwithstanding.

I had a friend who tried keeping a 6 month supply of food in her house but she didn't keep up with rotating the food, and as she has a persnickety aversion to eating foods past their "expiration" date, I ended up with quite a bit of it.

how many days might go by without reading before you felt something was amiss?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

Previously, as in a few years ago, could have been quite a few, because I went through a period where I didn't read much due to very poor concentration. Then the golden age of audiobooks came along, and the advent of smartphones and the wireless world, and now I'm back into it, though I listen rather than read. And the answer is not more than a few.

How many times a week do you force yourself to eat a meal you really don't enjoy because it is good for you and doesn't contain what is bad for you?

[bounty]

boy, we gotta get someone else to join in on this thread...

all food is good for us in some capacity and very little doesn't contain anything that isn't bad for us, but in the spirit of the question, zero, mostly because I enjoy practically everything, including things that are "good for me."

how many times in a row can you hear a favorite song before you want to turn it off?

[Pendragon]

Perhaps a dozen. After that it gets old as I know it by heart.

How many DVD's do you own, approximately?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

Only a few, rare ones. The rest I gave away or threw away when streaming and download became viable.

bounty, what do you mean we need to get some more people in here? I've though that before, in the sense that it would be more fun, but you sounded exasperated.

How many times have you come so close to punching someone that you felt a wave of gratitude later to whatever held you back, as you're relieved to not now be facing a lawsuit or some other serious damage to your life?

[bounty]

oh no...not exasperated at all...strictly from a "more fun/participation/variety" perspective...there was some other thread where it was just tailor and I for posts on end and I had said pretty much the same thing, although probably with a successful hint of good humor...

[Tyrion Cheddar]

OK, mon, all's cool in the kingdom, bounty, my old son, but how do we go about recruiting for this forum? I'm not wearing that red dress again, if that's where your mind was going.

And for my specialist subject...How many redundant tools (the other kind of tool) do you have in your home, i.e. multiple hammers, screwdrivers, etc.

[Pendragon]

Dozens. But you must understand I had three small children losing daddy's tools all the time and I had to replace them, and then they would turn up again. My kids are now learning for themselves about the value of tools, as two are married; my daughter has two kids, and my youngest is 24 and has been out on his own (by choice) since he was 19 or 20.

How many children would you say is enough, already?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

Since I have no children and have never been married, my answer is coming from a different vantage than most people my age. For myself, of course, the answer is no kids, for personal reasons. Growing up, I sort of inferred that three, the number in my family, was the "right" number. I can't quite explain it, mostly I think it had to do with the nature of society at the time and socio-economic reasons. Over the years, through further observation, I learned that many people who had a fourth child regretted it, realizing or feeling that they should have stopped at three. Nowadays, again due to societal and economic reasons, I'm thinking two is a good number. Both of my sibs have two, and I've seen the advantages of stopping there and focusing all available parental time and resources on those two. Obviously, your question has as many answers as there are adults in the world.

How many times have you, as a man, after a certain age or number of years of frustration with this dumb old world, secretly wished you could have the kind of power, advantage and control vis-a-vis women that men in ancient times had? Come on, lads, be honest. ;-)

[Pendragon]

Unnumbered times.

How many times have you wished that Governments were unnecessary?

[bounty]

without getting into my social/political persuasion, isnt that roughly akin to asking how many times you wished for a sunny day, or for something to happen this way as opposed to that way? its not something to keep track of, but rather, to count as best as a "necessary evil"...

I don't drink it any more but I loved it when I was a kid---how many ounces of egg nog is "too many?"

[papayahed]

2 ounces

How many peanust butter and jelly sandwiches can you eat in a sitting?

[Pendragon]

Depends on how much bread, jelly, and peanut butter I have!

How many books do you read per week?

[bounty]

boy that really varies depending on the thickness of the book. I read everyday but sometimes I could get through zero in a week, or 1-2. so im going to go with 0 minimum, 2 tops.

right now im dragging through looking backwards, and enjoying flyboys.

how many hours for a movie is just about right?

[papayahed]

Somewhere around 2 hours.

How many George Clooney movies can you name?

[bounty]

hmm, one of the batman movies and those two oceans movies, 11 and 12 (havent seen either) is it? so sorta three.

i think im more interested in kate beckinsale and Jessica biel. laughs...

oh, and if im really hungry, and its really cheap soft white bread, i could easily do 4 pbj's, 5 if i pushed it and had stuff to drink too.

how many friends phone numbers do you remember from when you were little?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

That's an interesting one, and the answer is none.

How many rolls of toilet paper do you have in storage?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

That's an interesting one, and the answer is none.

How many rolls of toilet paper do you have in storage?

[papayahed]

9 rolls. I buy the giant economy packs.

How many books are you reading at the moment?

[bounty]

sometimes in two, sometimes just in one. I go back and forth. last night I finished flyboys, while im still drudging through looking backward, the novelty of which has long since worn out and im skipping sections like crazy.

so, was 2, now 1, and I probably wont start another until I finish looking backward, which by the way I don't recommend to anyone for pleasure reading. if you are interested in social/political philosophy, that's another story.

nfl playoffs are starting, how many games will you watch between now and inclusive of the superbowl?

[North Star]

None.

How many sports do you follow?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

Zip. Zilch. Also known as none. Spectator sports and me are like distant relatives who, per force, see each other occasionally at family gatherings, but don't know each other from Adam and neither of us could be arsed to show up at the other one's funeral. Unless there's money in the will.

Chef Boyardee is famous, among other things, for its little meatballs, the ones found in the various spaghetti type products and ravioli variants. You love them and you know you do. In your lifetime, how many would you estimate you've eaten?

[North Star]

"Zip. Zilch. Also known as none."

How many times do you cook (instead of just microwaving TV-dinners) food in a week?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

Darn, you caught me. The answer is once, most likely. There's only one dish I know how to make. Mostly I'm a conspicuous bachelor, as far as cooking goes, and at fifty-one am still waiting for a woman to take care of me. Doesn't like like she's showing up, darned equal rights.

How many times, while eating in a Chinese restaurant and feasting on Moo Shu, have you run out of plum sauce while smearing it on one of the pancakes and asked the waiter for more?

[papayahed]

A big giant zero.


How many times have you had food poisoning?

[bounty]

none that im aware of and im thinking I could do an all you can eat Chinese buffet sometime in the near future and really enjoy that!

how many pounds of Chinese buffet could you eat?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

Are we talking about the food or some girls from Shanghai? <drum roll, bow> OK, OK, I don't measure my food by weight, but I guess two pounds?

How many minutes generally pass after a Chinese meal before you feel hungry again?

[swathisharan]

How many sweaters do you have ?

[Tyrion Cheddar]

I'd say three sweaters, Swathisharan, but don't ye like my question about Chinese food? I feel neglected and need a cuddle.

[bounty]

i like the Chinese food question (so warm fuzzy there) and I think in my own life, its an observable phenomenon.

id say, depending on the amount of food we're talking, anywhere from 40 minutes to two hours.

how many toppings on a pizza are just about right?

How many slices of pizza can you eat in one sitting?

Darn, son, you had to go there. ;-) I gave up pizza last spring or thereabouts as part of my war against my belly, and it made a noticeable difference fairly quickly. Before that I used to power down those large DiGiorno's frozen jobs with the cheese stuffed crust two or three times a week. Point being, I can eat me some pizza. ;-) If we're talking a standard size pie from a pizzeria, I would say three slices.

I have just now returned from Buenos Aires which is a beautiful city. I should love to visit Portugal and Spain, Lendo. The problem for us on the other side of the Atlantic is that travelling to Europe is very expensive.

How many books do you intend to read this year?

[bounty]

ive only finished one so far, unbroken by laura Hillenbrand (great book) but im partway through 3 others. tom jones by henry fielding (its about 800 pages and very dense), the signers of the declaration (of independence) and Frederick douglass' narrative of the life of Frederick douglass, an American slave.

I might have finished leonard koppett's a thinking fans guide to baseball in 2017 but for sure I started it in 2016, so it doesn't wholly count.

no set amount, but a day very rarely ever goes by when I don't read; so as soon as one book is finished, the next one starts. the amount will be contingent on whether they are easy fascinating reads (like unbroken) or large, difficult ones like tom jones (it seems like all the sentences are a minimum of five lines long!)

how many pages in the book youre presently reading?

[Danik 2016]

From all these books I´ve only read Tom Jones and that a long time ago. What I remember about the book today, is that there is a kind of sumary of content at the beginning of each chapter. I am not a great fan of Fielding but I find his irreverence refreshing in comparison to his contemporaneous peer, the moralist Richardson.
Haven´t started reading jet.

two pieces of toast is standard fare, with a big whoppin' cup of tea!

okay danik--time for redemption....how many pages in the book youre presently reading? smiles...

[Danik 2016]

I think one of the reason I´m not reading a specific book is that I have to finish an essay about several plays.
But I´ll have to reread some of the plays, and I promise to post about it.:lol:
