 TLD, how do you survive there?The 'no-see-um' is a fascinating name; I had forgotten it. Turns out we have 40 subspecies of those in Denmark; I remember meeting representatives from all 40 of them  one miserable summer- but none of them were as hostile as the one Rhode Island black fly that confronted me. I think we need not to talk too much about these insects - yes, I know, I began myself  Welcome davwhite5xq7 We hope you have brought your insect net for this trek   |

Good morning.
----------------------------------------LM - I did tell Dave about the impromptu trek, left it up to him to join. I've retreated to SC since we're in a challenge otherwise you know I would've stayed full term.
One drop raises the sea.

TLD, how do you survive there?You don't see a lot of them unless you are by water or in the forest especially the rain forest where it is always very moist. Because of the climate in western Washington we have these insects but not in huge populations.  |

Une amie m'a partagé une image que je trouve géniale, comment ne pas la montrer au Base Camp ?
-------------------------------------------------- A friend shared an image that I think is great, how not to show it at Base Camp?  Legend : "They still venerate us?"

You don't see a lot of them unless you are by water or in the forest especially the rain forest where it is always very moist. Because of the climate in western Washington we have these insects but not in huge populations. That’s more or less like in Denmark, TLD. The worst time here is early summer at twilight time when the dew forms and you want to sit outside and enjoy your meal – especially if you choose to locate yourself near a pond and/or growths of bushes. Your temperate rainforests would be the perfect breeding ground for insects of all kinds All that dampness. ***** It’s a wonderful picture, stefada. That’s exactly what that beautiful modern cat would say to the ancient Egyptian one. Exactly. Thank you for sharing.  C'est une photo merveilleuse, stefada. C'est exactement ce que ce beau chat moderne dirait à l'ancien égyptien. Exactement. Merci pour le partage.  Good Morning Base Campers!  Minnesota trek acpartsman went home to SeriousCrunchers to pull for sujo1’s numerous treks, and at the same time davwhite5xq7 arrived. Thank you for coming, dave and thank you for having been here, acpartsman As to when the trek is over? I don't know. For me it will not be over until I hear how Bearcat is doing. If you need to go doing other business, it's fine. I have ordered the moose badge  for BladeD Yodap@BC TLD acpartsman davwhite5xq7 little mermaid and the honorary one for Bearcat. I hope he’s all right, but evidently he has not wanted/been able to check in with Minnesota Crunchers so far. If three more Base Campers – novice or experienced – join, I can get a quantity discount on the badges  General chit-chat Not much. Yesterday Upstairs Yvonne and I celebrated our robust friendship which survived my snapping with a dinner at our Daytona Beach and this morning I had the chairman of our condo association for coffee which I had planned for October  - much input for my capacity but one step forward.- that spotted cat is so beautiful, stefada .... |

Je vois la modération de ErikaT, et je m'excuse ! Je voulais juste partager quelque chose que j'ai trouvé marrant.
----------- I see the moderation of ErikaT, and I'm sorry! I just wanted to share something that I found funny. Je n'ai pas du tout voulu être vulgaire, juste, c'était ça la traduction. Ni plus ni moins. ---------- I did not want to be vulgar at all, just, that was the translation. No more no less. |

It WAS funny, stefada, really
----------------------------------------It's just that the within limits in Europe - where just about anything goes - are off limits in the USA at times for good and for bad. I can think of American books - for instance 'The Living and the Dead' - that would have the page count reduced drastically if it had been through the Forum washer. I can think of American films with hardly any dialogue had they been cleaned up to Forum standards. I'll try to make the speech of that lovely little spotted cat cleaner: 'I defaecate in a box ....' I believe even astronauts have these bodily functions ... C'était drôle, stefada, vraiment C'est juste que les limites intérieures en Europe - où à peu près tout se passe - sont parfois interdites aux États-Unis trop bon et trop mauvais. Je peux penser à des livres - par exemple 'The Living and the Dead' qui réduiraient drastiquement le nombre de pages si cela avait été le cas avec le forum. Je peux penser aux films américains avec peu de dialogue s'il avait été nettoyé selon les standards du Forum. Je vais essayer de faire le discours de ce charmant petit chat tacheté: 'Je défèque dans une boîte ...' Je crois que même les astronautes ont ces fonctions corporelles ...  Good Morning Base Campers! Minnesota trek tanner2 living in Minnesota has joined us - seriously - from SeriousCruncherswhere he had fired up a lot of equipment to help sujo1 to a royal standing in all of the challenges he has signed his team up for. Thank you little brother  - looks like this is the day to use all both of my cute smileys The list of who are/have been crunching for Bearcat: acpartsman BladeD davwhite5xq7 little mermaid tanner2 TLD yodap@BC - we just need two more Base Campers to crunch one WU each for Bearcat for us to have the discounted price for the badges ...... Would that be you  joining us today? - or that little spotted tiger EDIT: pronomen in singularum 'it' changed to 'they' an 'of' injected where it was missing [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at May 5, 2018 8:34:24 AM] |
