One cruncher suggested I
'start my own "inflicting" thread and see how many people stay' I'm not quite sure what that implies, but why not try?  - maybe I get as much attention here as in my "Where are you from?" thread  May I start by apologising for whatever unpleasant I may have inflicted on any cruncher since March 20, 2011? Please allow me to make up for it by wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Dejlig er Jorden - a Christmas song which is used in all of Scandinavia  |

Just a old Norwegian stopping to say hi.
----------------------------------------If I made some krumkake I would leave some for everyone, but my stone is lost.  |

You spoke Norwegian. As a last resort I turned to statistics.
I looked up Burnsville and looked for Norwegians. It came up with a whopping 13-14% - almost one out of eight! I looked up Danes just to compare, and they were just a little over 1%. We Danes love Norway. We think they are kind of our little brother. The events in Oslo and in Utøya hit us in solar plexus. Alexandra Jardvall, a Swedish musician and singer in our support group made this: Vi kommer aldri ge upp - We Shall Never Give up - and writes: My Way of Trying to give some comfort. Sorry, the following is in Swedish. (which Google Translate remedied) You feel so helpless in a tragedy like this. The only thing we can do is be there and support in the way we can. This is my way. I think of you and I cry with you!  Welcome Little Brother  I'm a baking disaster and a fool at it and giving you any of my homemade bricks would certainly be an infliction. - but I found you a glitzy, shiny granite stone, so please start kneading |

little mermaid -
----------------------------------------I don't know what prompted you to start this thread, but I assure you that you are always very welcome to post in the USMC thread anytime. I find your posts to be very creative, imaginative, enthusiastic and delightfully entertaining - you are truly an Ace Cruncher. As I'm not verbose, I may not always reply, having only 136 forum posts since 2004 (average less than 20 posts per year). . |

To clear things up about the triggering of this post - the suggestion of:
'start my own "inflicting" thread and see how many people stay' was part of an exchange this morning in my pet team which turned out unexpectedly as a small miracle while I was constructing this very New Thread. What began to build up like thunder clouds in the horizon became a delightful summers day I did not take the comment too badly, but tried to put a humouristic twist to it - because there might very well be some truth to it: I might just have inflicted on more people than I imagine with my unstoppable verbosity I very much subscribe to this poem by a Danish renaissance man: Piet Hein - and architect, designer, poet and much more with a well developed sense of æsthetics as well as ethics - altho I think the word "Talking" should be replaced by "Taking":  |

Hearing from fellow crunches that are a positive influence is always welcomed! The heck with poo-poo'res...
---------------------------------------- Just another Norwegian responding... Take it with a 5lb bag of salt  |

@ Afterburners: I want no misunderstandings, please
sldbcamping and I started out on a strange footing this morning my time - his night. It could have developed in the wrong direction - it didn't - on the contrary We became brothers in sorrow in no time .... It just goes to show that you should always be twice as polite as you need to be - because everybody is fighting some kind of battle of his own ... ha! one more little brother - one lost his baking stone, but the other one has a 5 lb bag of salt salt or not: Hej Lillebror! @ ski1939: Thank you for your very kind words  I try my best because to me crunching means something more in addition to the numbers. Some make cross stitching, I think this may be my creative outlet - I love the Internet, Google and YouTube - and I plan to get a life  @ bearcat: I do go (but don't think I posted) to Minnesota Crunchers quite often. I like to read the bright posts there in the freshness of the Minnesota deep freeze. I would like to be part of the get together you're planning and I wish your back will get better soon, bearcat |
