A question, a call to action.

[Bitterfly]

In the living-room, a big window, and the only thing I can see in it is myself, sitting at my computer, because it's dark outside.

Nice thread!

Nice question, I grew mint and parsley and I often make delicious spicy chutney.

Something I might have never known otherwise

Do you make any other preserves?

[MattG]

My apartment is a one-window affair. The view is pretty much pitch black at this point (here in Sweden it's 1am), but the first thing I can see is a set of window 'candle' lights in a house near my apartment block. In this house lives a really cool cat, who my girlfriend and I have christened 'Butt Cat', as he/she has a tendency to stroll up to us, get rubbed and petted (we are cat freaks), before turning around, taking a few steps and then raising its tail, giving us a view which explains the name.

I actually haven't seen Butt Cat in weeks; seems to hibernate for the winter. I'm going back home to Ireland for Christmas in a week though, so I really hope I meet him/her again soon.

Love it! Thanks for the answer!

When you get home to Ireland I hope you'll remember this thread and tell us what's out your window there.

[MattG]

I have been tempted to but I have managed to keep myself in check so far. Now the thought of doing that will be with me all day

At least a feather or a tissue or something. Were it me I think I'd be tempted to dangle a spider on a string or something that might elicit a scream

Nice thread!

Which begs the question, what do you see in your reflection?

[Bitterfly]

Ah, you've changed your nickname, haven't you?

And, hum, I see... a monster!!
No, I see a dark-haired shape, actually.

A nice board admin helped me with that. I stopped liking the one I was using over a year ago. My new one I'm rather stuck with, online and off.

Now, regarding your answer to my query, you've done a fancy little step and shuffle. Do you waltz too?

[pussnboots]

Looking out my livingroom sliders and watching the snow come down. Its so quiet outside right now.

Now that is an idea!!

I prefer cancan, but never in front my computer. In Toulouse-Lautrec bars, you know, with volutes of smoke and vapours of cheap alcohol rising up and blurring everything.

Now I can see mirrors in the reflection, those that are on the wall. It's another window, still in the same room. And yes, I like reflections, but not because I can see myself in them but because I like the redoubling effect.

It might just be a challenge conversing with you

So how do you feel about smoky bars in general? How about smokers? We'll get to the whiskey later

[Bitterfly]

Bring on the cigarettes! I'm afraid I'll probably kick the bucket before I kick the habit.

But I think you're swerving off your subject. Windows, remember, not bars. That said, I actually have bars on my windows (and no, I'm not in prison).

Not swerving at all. You've made an assumption that the windows I was really looking into were made of wood and glass. I'd say I've seen much through the eyes of all who responded.

I'm not a smoker (anymore) but I like smokers in general.

Didn't do the spider thing (I have a problem with spiders) but did throw (not to hard) a toy mouse that I have on my desk. Well I really should have taken a pitcure it was chaos. I will just mention that Darrin and Mark screamed the loudest and Darrin even ended up standing on his desk. Needless to say I will be eatting lunch on my own tomorrow. You are a bad influence

[Snowqueen]

Are you reffering to the chutney? Well I don't make any other preserves.

So you have a new name, I like it.
