I think horses running is one of most beautiful things, and racing can be that too....ive read bunch of horse books and horse racing books and enjoyed them all. so I say

aye, but with the caveat of that some of it is saddening and can even be cruel.

by the way, if you guys want to watch a great horse movie, give dream horse a shot. I have lost track of how many times I have watched the last race scene in it...over and over and over. its awesome!

Enough sleep ?

[Danik 2016]

Big, big ay!

Warm meals?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye... Mostly warm meals... Cold 30g protein drink as a supplement when I miss a meal otherwise... lately snacks of string cheese or bananas or mandarins (or a combination of same) serve as a meal. I reached my weight goal at the end of the year and have lost an additional 5 lbs (2.27 kg) in January just with judicious eating and exercise. Planning on some fried chxn tonight - a guilty pleasure on occasion :)

Watching game shows ?

Soft drinks?

Same question ?

[Danik 2016]

Nay.

Fireworks?

[tailor STATELY]

Nay... I remember when I was a boy in Seattle hearing about people losing fingers with firecrackers/M80's that stuck with me... I've written at least 1-poem about the rocket variety, but I've never really fully embraced them. In one poem I was more mesmerized by some hippies blowing smoke into bubbles at a Stockton, CA venue during the 1967 4th of July spectacle:



fireworks 1967

crackers and squibs sport as children delight
down by the river this 4th july night

hippies laud the summer of love nearby
blowing smoke into soap bubbles on high

cannonades take charge launching to great heights
then blossoms and spinners emerge like sprites

the finale commands the heavens blaze!


crosettes and willows
vie with strobes, bees, and whistles

fish dart a'glitter

11/29/2017

Sushi ?

[Danik 2016]

I don't like them either!

Aye!

[bounty]

herbs danik? you mean no ketchup on your French fries??

books with bittersweet endings?

[Danik 2016]

Of course not, Bounty. Do you want me to spoil my French fries? Ketchup, if ever, only on hot dog and rose sauce

A doubtfull aye. It depends very much on the ending.

War novels?

[Danik 2016]

Nay.What the heck ...?

http://www.online-literature.com/forums/forum.php

Celebrating Tree Day ?

[tailor STATELY]

Watch it sometime Bounty... it's a bit slow sometimes but there is a lot of hilarity in it... seen it many times :)

The best war novel I've read is "The Northwest Passage"... a grim read in spots but I enjoyed it... the movie adaptation was decent but nowhere as good as the book. "Battlefield Earth" was good 'cept the movie was terrible. Have reread both many times :)

Arbor Day... Aye :)

Nature walks ?

[bounty]

its on my broader "to watch" list tailor, but it might be awhile, there so many other good things. have actually been meaning to tell you im enjoying old episodes of lost in space.

danik have you ever seen the abbott and Costello bit about mustard on hot dogs?

if that just means walking out in nature tailor, major aye.

books using stream of consciousness as a method?

[Danik 2016]

The best war movie I ever saw is The Bridge over River Kwai.

No, I haven't, Bounty.
I love nature walks, but the nearest to nature I have close to my building is Parque Augusta. I guess that both of you only have to open the door to step into nature.
Aye, if it's well written.

Sprays against insects?

[tailor STATELY]

Nay. I will use mosquito repellent with DEET during mosquito season on my skin though.

Sun tan oil/spray ?

[Danik 2016]

Nay. Have to use sun bloquer

Shals in Winter?

[tailor STATELY]

Nay (shawls)... just a warm jacket... or stay inside :)

Fasting ?

[Danik 2016]

Nay..

Lake on your terrain?

[tailor STATELY]

Nay... 2-seasonal ponds... they disappear in high summer until the rains come.

Library in walking distance ?

[Danik 2016]

A big aye. Biblioteca Mario de Andrade, one of the biggest of Brazil at 5 minutes distance.

Same question?

[tailor STATELY]

Cool ! :)

Nay... about 7 miles (11.27 km) away... our library (Georgetown Library, El Dorado County, CA) would prolly fit in your library's foyer, lol.

Overdue library books ?

[Danik 2016]

Nay. Currently I lend books from digital libraries like archive.org and as I am a very slow reader I take care to renew them in time.

Have food in store for very snowy days?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye... ramen noodles and canned goods, some pasta... usually have plenty of eggs - down to my last 3 eggs due to prices. Need to stock up on a few items, but no snow in the forecast... https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=weather+95633&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 Thankfully we've had no snow this winter... I think Bounty is hogging it all :)

Fish & chips ?

[Danik 2016]

Got a lot of rain though.

Nay.I know that Fish & Chips is an English classic but here we usually eat them separately. Chips go with almost any food, with rice and beans which is our classic. Friday is the official no meat day, inheritance of Portuguese fasting habits. So people often eat fish on Friday, but not only on this day.

Sleeping longer on Sunday?

[tailor STATELY]

Yep... Flood and wind advisories today through tomorrow.

Sunday... nay, choir practice starts at 9am... I'll rarely get more than 5-hours sleep before that... but I will generally nap from 1pm to 4:30pm after church.

Yoga ?

[Danik 2016]

Aye. Went to yoga practice during several years.

Swimming?

[tailor STATELY]

nay... when I was younger aye... haven't been in a pool/lake/ocean in years. My favorite pools were indoor/outdoor pools - 1-in Seattle at/near Green Lake and 1-at the Santa Clara Marriott :) Nowadays I would just float on my back blissfully if I found a calm warm pool (not likely).

Same question ?

[Danik 2016]

Not currently though having a swimming pool near by. But swimming there is linked with hidrogymnastics which my doctor forbade.

Listening to music programmed by Alexa?

[tailor STATELY]

AYE... Alexa knows my tastes after all these years: latest songs streaming (some of my favorites): Wooden Ships by Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Miracles by Jefferson Starship, More Than a Feeling by Boston... one song by your favorite Joan Baez about Bob Dylan, Diamonds and Rust, I believe, Today by Jefferson Airplane (played just a moment ago)... waxing nostalgic this stormy day contemplating a poem due Thursday re: Storm

Stormy days ?

[Danik 2016]

Nay. Rain is necessary but the storms in SP have become too destructive: entire quarters of the city are flooded, water entering the houses of people and destroying everything, people carried away by the flood, fire brigade having to rescue whole families including pets with inflated rubber boats.

afternoon snack?

[bounty]

its not the version I was looking for danik, so its not as good as I was hoping, but its not bad and still might be worth seeing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G21baJ-z6ts

hmm---im retired, so I eat whenever. even when I was working, I would pretty much eat whenever. even when I work now I eat whenever. so in principle, I say aye, but specifically for me, mostly n/a.

smiles...

movies that change significant things from their book version?

[tailor STATELY]

Re: storms... so sad to hear. Flooding and rock/land slides are a hazard here at this time, but not to the extent you paint.

Aye: Snack throughout the day... mostly healthy stuff

Nay re: changes

My poem is coming along... using some of what I posted above in the latest draft :)

Singing along with the music you play ?

[Danik 2016]

Lol, Bounty, can't say I understood every word but the discussion about the mustard was very animated.
Taylor, good lack with your poem, I suppose the meeting is tomorrow.

If I like a book I expect the movie version to be faithful to it or present a very creative adaptation.
Aye to singing along with a music that is playing.

Doing some activities on specific days of the week?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye... tonight Bible study, Monday Empty Nesters' FHE, Sunday Choir practice & Sacrament & Sunday School, 1st & 3rd Thursdays (Thursdays at Two) Poetry Group, 1st Thursday of Month Chess club near home, Every Friday Chess club in Placerville... any sunny day in Winter (like today :) ) wood splitting, twice a week clean our church bldg...

Same question ?

[Danik 2016]

Lol! Empty Nester FHE!

Aye. Currently my schedule is very simple: meals three times a day, soapy and news in the evening every day except on Sunday, fitness Tuesdays and Thursdays at noon, phoning on Sunday afternoons. The rest of the time I organize according to activities.

Wearing hats, caps or equivalents?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye... I'll wear a baseball cap when working outdoors in summer... but that's about it.

Disco ?

[bounty]

youre making me wonder if there are translated versions of abbott and Costello in brazil danik. or at least with subtitles. they do all sorts of schticks in their movies. some have to do with word play and almost all of them have to do with Costello's naivete.

disco as a music genre tailor---I say aye, usually pleasant and takes you right back to the 70s, which for me were high school days. I I I im stayin' alivvvvvvvvvve….

books with longggggggggggggg chapters?

[Danik 2016]

re: isn't disco also a place to go dancing?
Nay, not today.When I was young l loved those extensive Dickens novels. Toda I prefer shorter books with shorter chapters.

Books/movies wih dystopian plots ?

[bounty]

hah! great timing, im reading the third book in the maze runner series, the death cure. I love that genre.

so that's a good next question:

Nay. Perhaps sometimes Guaraná.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guaran%C3%A1_(soft_drink)

[bounty]

I don't have one but if I were a regular beach goer I think id say "aye" for sure.

earlier tailor you asked a question about lost in space---yes, the original. apart from a crush on judy, I love the nostalgia, and although the writing is kinda bad, the stories are great. one thing im enjoying is the memory jogging. I can directly recollect very little from the series but once I see the episode im able to say "oh, this happens next" or "oh, I remember that!"

this one might be a no-brainer, but, books with recurring characters?

[tailor STATELY]

Ah, nostalgia. Not too long ago I watched an old episode... felt ambiguous.

Nay.

Recycle ?

[Danik 2016]

Books with recurring characters. It depends how characters and story are developed

A big aye to recycling!

Memory games?

[tailor STATELY]

Nay... unless chess is a memory game... which it sometimes is, lol :)

Giving books as a gift ?

[Danik 2016]

Aye, used to a lot. Today most people I know aren't interested in books.

Buying Cds?

[tailor STATELY]

Nay... streaming all the way.

Pickled foods ?

[Danik 2016]

Aye.

Potato maionese?

[tailor STATELY]

Mmmm... looks yummy. Aye :) https://www.easyanddelish.com/brazilian-potato-salad/

Steak & kidney pie ? (one of my Mother's dishes that I loved as a child... https://www.thespruceeats.com/ultimate-steak-and-kidney-pie-recipe-435671 :) )

[Danik 2016]

Thanks for the link, tailor. Just one issue: we normally use lemon juice, not lime!

Kidney pie is a favorite dish in Dicken's novels so I had to try it the one time I went to England. I wasn't so impressed by the taste, but it was an interesting experience. :)

Organizing the monthly bills?

[tailor STATELY]

I must try and make the steak and kidney pie myself some day... and I'll remember to use lemon instead :)

Aye... much tumult and change due to a very costly repair on my 2018 Ford Escape (electronic steering)... nearly broke me, but managing.

Shopping on Amazon ?

[bounty]

I would say reluctant aye to amazon. id rather buy local, but sometimes things local cost twice as much. at the same time though, I think amazon's gone a long way towards destroying local brick and mortar stores and the local economy.

tv mini-series that are inspired by books?

[Danik 2016]

Aye.
As to Amazon I liked shopping books there , when the site began. I remember my first parcel with the brand new novel carefully wrapped up. But the site grew to much.

Books that might render good movies?

PS- Oh, that's annoying, tailor.This kind of repair uses to be very expensive and one hopes it lasts.

[tailor STATELY]

Car: Hoping

Aye

Salt on watermelon ?

[Danik 2016]

Naaay!

Watermelon juice with cinnamon?

[tailor STATELY]

Me either...

Haven't tried it but sounds promising... aye

Greek cuisine ?

[bounty]

i think aye in general to any countries cultural cuisine. viva la difference!

tailor im reminded to ask if you were able to find cranberry ginger ale at Christmastime?

writing with lots of multiple compound sentences?

[Danik 2016]

Know very very little about Greek cuisine, but aye as most things Greek .
Like stifado though:https://www.themediterraneandish.com/stifado-greek-beef-stew/
But the Brazilian stifado I know is very different, like a more seasoned vegetable lasanha.
Arab food?


Lol,Bounty, we posted simultaneously.

It depends on the text.

[tailor STATELY]

Cranberry ginger ale - dang, forgot to look.

Nay. Don't believe I've tried Arabian cuisine; that which is depicted in old movies doesn't embolden me.

Aye. Sentences: sure, whatever gets one to writing :)

Reading in a cafe ?

[Danik 2016]

Maybe that inspires:https://thehintofrosemary.com/arabic-cooking-at-home/

Ayyyyee!


Listening to street music on the street?

[tailor STATELY]

The Arab cuisine you directed me to looks yummy. I haven't seen lamb very much in stores, but the chxn dishes sound great :)

Nay. I don't take much opportunity to listen to music outdoors. We do have music during a small seasonal Saturday craft/farmer's market type fair thing that I've attended once in Garden Valley in the 34 years I've lived here.

Canned soups ?

[Danik 2016]

I believe the lamb can easily be substituted for chicken or other kind of meat in the kafta for example. Some Arab dishes are very popular here in São Paulo, because there are many descendants of Arab countries. Cheese or meat Sfihas on finds at every fast food.

A moderate aye. I prefer fresh soups.

Fairs?

[tailor STATELY]

Sfihas look easy to make: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sfiha :) Don't think I've seen them at 7/11.

Aye... just don't attend many. I went to our last county fair to see a karate presentation my 16 yr old grandson participated in.

Renaissance type fairs ?

[Danik 2016]

Yes they are. The flat bread can be found in the supermarket or similar stores? The traditional topping is minced meat but one can use almost any kind of topping one can imagine: melted cheese, palm hearts or other kind of vegetables, minced chicken and sweet versions with apple or banana with cinnamon, berries, Nutella.

Àye. But do they still exist?

Watching Oscar winning movies?

[tailor STATELY]

One coming about 30 miles (50 km) from home later this year: https://www.folsomfaire.com/

Usually catch one or two on the telly each year :)

Doing Family History/genealogy ?

[Danik 2016]

Two 2025 winners I recommend:
The trailer hasn´t been updated yet but the movie won the best international film Oscar:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDunV808Yf4

and, of course, Flow, consecrated now as best animation movie:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgZccxuj2RY&t=87s

Nay. Have though, a cousin, who is involved with that.

Watching music shows on telly?

[tailor STATELY]

Movie looks promising... definitely looking for Flow :)

Aye. Watched the last 5 or so shows in a singing competition program last season, but that's about it.

Game shows on the telly ?

[Danik 2016]

Nay.

Buying things you need in the internet?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye

Same question ?

[Danik 2016]

Nay. Used to until this hacking of Credit cards started.

Having luck bringing keepsakes at home?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye, though few and far between.

String cheese ?

[bounty]

can you put a "cranberry ginger ale" sticky note on your fridge for this christmas tailor?

love love love string cheese, especially good with mustard. I think we did this one before. I have a memory of posting a clip from ant man where hank Pym jokingly offers him some. I think the repeat must mean you like it!

reading in bed?
