h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Cheers, Hypatia.

That sounds like a very long time.

As fast as the years are going by, it won't take long at all.

Not in hindsight, I'll give you that. It's hard to believe it's been 11 years since I signed up here. geez, I was still young then (well, comparatively).

Happy 11th from me also Bel and some more and !

I also want to wish you a happy 11th.

...and I have some positively luscious garden fresh of an unusual type that's rare in the market place since growers consider the strawberry pink flowers a distraction from the process of picking, though not very many of them yet...

Happy belated burpday Bel.

Happy Hootoo-day

I thank you all.

It's funny, I haven't eaten often this year, and now the season is nearly over.

Happy Hootoocersary, Bel!

That c should have been a v.

Now wouldn't it be nice if we could edit a post?

I understood perfectly what you meant. Thank you.

I too can't see as much of the world cup as I'd like - none

There's more to life than

The current 24 hour le Mans race for example

Or reading a good book.

Or saying happy hootooversary to a friend.

Thankee. Bob.

Reading is always a good option - saying happy hootooversary or watching le Mans or isn't

Well they are options. We could discuss whether or not they are good.

that's one way to look (wrongly) at it

I signed up for a book discussion forum the other week. It is an interesting experience. We all read the same book, divided into sections; then discuss these sections. The authors of the books take part, too. I haven't analyzed a book or speculated on the outcome since school -- more than 30 years ago.
