Here and Now...What's Happening?

Paul is here now, ( I can see you, Paulie, peekabooo!!!!) and before Heyoka and PurpleLama can suck him into their plots of dualistic gender wars I say we appeal to Paul's higher nature and ask him nicely what would be the most sophisticated way to reduce a quote to it's relevant parts.
That might save him quite a bit of work in future, as well. A win-win for all.

I was out for a bit - had to do the grocery shopping and put the cold stuff away.

I don't know an easy way for most folks to reduce quotes to their relevant parts, without messing them up.

Well ... not that I can teach easily, anyway.

In the terms I would use, quoted material is in the form of nested [QUOTE]...[/QUOTE] bracketed text, and you have to preserve the nesting and the pairing of the opening [QUOTE] and closing [/QUOTE] brackets. If that makes sense to you - then cool - go for it .

I've scratched my head for almost a year now, wondering if there was someway to explain it in a straight forward way. I've not thought of a way.

Meanwhile I just fix up quotes as I read the forum.

Flasky has an old soul

I would not dream of saying otherwise! I was strictly referring to physical earth-year age! As is the case with my own seventeen year old daughter, often the youngest in years is the oldest soul around, otherwise they would not be drawn into groups like these.

I know you wasnt saying otherwise ya silly 'old' thang! I know what you mean tho 'bout the younger earth years guys around here. They never cease to amaze me with their posts and such. Im always humbled. x

I just hit the "reply with quote" an just delete the parts I don't want.

If you're replying to a "simple" post (one that doesn't already have quoted text), then that's the deal. Just don't remove the [QUOTE]...[/QUOTE] brackets surrounding the quote.

If you get tangled in a fifteen round boxing match on the forum, then the quoted material can get many layers deep, and simplifying it is the kind of work only a geek would love.

Now, now. Marianne and Tony, play nice!

But Sir........ Shestarted it!

I know, I saw. I would comment further, but we are outnumbered.

We have The Cow on our side I think. That should help to square things up. I say we go for it!!

Behind the bike shed after science class.........but I betya' Marianne doesn't show!

As long as y'all keep it off the thread, for I am afraid even bovine admins don't stand a chance when the women start banding together. We should drop the subject and back away, and live to fight another day.

Paul,
Thank you, kind sir. Here's cake and a glass of ice cold fresh, raw milk for you.

I don't quite know how to tell you this, PurpleLama and Heyoka_11 ... but I think I just switched sides.

A kind word and a tasty snack will get me almost every time .

I did! Second post from the top on page....

*more twilight zone theme music*

¤=[Post Update]=¤

I believe redundancy is our theme for today.

Well i also noticed page 33, beautiful poem there PurpleLama, but it didn't follow my reply?
AND just before posting i thought: I bet it will turn to 34 as i post..AND IT DID! But it seems many just posted as i was editing mine

Yup - that's the best way - unless you're some sort of nested bracket geek.

HEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!

NOBOD'S LISTENING..Suppose Saturn already srarted building these walls

Transiten,
I'm just now getting over Saturn squaring my sun.
With the right attitude Saturn is easy.
And he doesn't build walls, he builds rings.
Rings are good, especially if they have gems embedded in them.

Great ulli! Saturn builds Rings! How beautiful, he might bring me a mature partner maybe, actually in the short interpretation on my astrologyprogram that's the most positive interpretation i've seen so far! Saturn might bring a serious relationship into your life, perhaps even marriage

Have you read Liz Greene's "Saturn, a new outlook on an old devil".. should reread it...perhaps it's time to take up the astrology thread? Or maybe create some intrerest here?

That's ma girl, taking care of our bovine guests and at the same time stopping the war machine.
Chocolate and strawberry cake and fresh strawberry milkshake....and FHB (family hold back).

Sorry about that obscene cake picture...

Shocked me.

Thank you, m'lady! That was my intent.

Now I must go find some dark chocolate .... those yummy photos are too much!!

Junebug (holding the intent to allow no more Heyoka button-pushing) (well, very little anyway)

I am practicing trimming quotes, and demonstrating it was *me* who stopped the fight, not Paul. Not that I begrudge him at all his tasty snack and kind word, IMO the mods of this forum don't get nearly enough of those!

nice try PL.

Transiten, hope the chocolate settles well--I found dark chocolate baking chips in my cupboard. I did some heavy energy work this morning and they were just the thing for grounding again.

[transiten]

Transiten, a party would be so cool! Chocolate baking chips are like chocolate chips used in cookies and muffins ... or can be melted down and used to coat goodies with. Hershey's makes their 'special dark' chocolate into baking chips, a recent find for me.

I make something called buckeyes -- do you know what they are? They are little balls made of peanut butter, powdered sugar, and some other stuff, chilled and then dipped in chocolate, leaving a bit showing on the top. The chips have a little wax so they stay on without melting too much.

I can't eat peanut butter or peanuts, but I love to make them for other people to eat. They never last long.

Junebug we're having chicken soup tomorrow! I roasted a chicken yesterday, currying the leftovers tonight and boiling the rest up for soup tomorrow. Yep Im really getting mileage out of that chicken-sign of the times for us lol. And being in Wales there will be leeks in mine.

Lisa, we're on the same wavelength... doing the same thing except I bought one of the rotisserie chickens to start, then made chicken pot pie, and today soup. It's great to get all that mileage out of a single purchase.

I planted leeks 3 years ago, and they wintered over beautifully. They were harvestable most of the year. I happen to have some store bought leeks now so they will be in my soup as well, which I'll start in about an hour.

Do you make potato and leek soup?

Posted by Lisab (here)
This thread must be chicken soup for the soul.

It is, for sure.

Love,
Junebug

Just a quick fly by to let you know I saw my Aunt; her face lit up when I walked into the intensive care unit. It was was so heartening to see her eyes smiling big, I didn't even notice all the bottles, tubes, needles and bags on/in/around her at first.

And the absolute best thing: She's improve SO much from the couple of days before!!!

Thank you for your good thoughts, awesome Villagers! Even if you don't know her, all your good intentions has pooled in with others sent her way...it's doing something magical! I've told her about you sending her healing-- she was incredibly, incredibly touched.

I joked that tomorrow I'm going to come back with a stack of sticky labels with positive words written on them (in the style of Dr, Emoto), and will paste them up on all her IV bottles.

(Of course, that's not possible, being the ICU... but once she gets into a normal room-- it's going to look like a protest rally in there, with positive words pasted everywhere the eye can see!)

So, thank you again, all!
Here's toasting a glass of Slivovitch to my Aunt's health, and to everyone who's sent good thoughts. Heck, let's make that a toast for wellbeing of every single being in this universe, why not?

Zivili!

(Cheers/To your health and happiness)

[Lisab]

Zivili! Ruby thats such good news.

Yes Junebug we do have leek and potatoe soup its called Kawl here in Wales. They make it in the pubs when the rugby is on and being as Wales are doing well in the rugby at the moment Im guessing theres alot of kawl being eaten in the pubs lately.x

[Marianne]

Ruby! So happy about your auntie! Haha, I can picture her room when you've fixed it up. Here's to her continuing improving health!

I just finished the second healing session for my friend. Whooo, the room is so full of light and love right now. I'm hoping it has made a difference.

Love to all,
Junebug
