    Oh please tell me you don't speak like you wrote Yuge.  I might have the answer to your question but I can't get past the pronunciation.  I'll look it up only if you promise me you will pronounce your "H" as it was intended.  Think of pushing air from the back of your throat.
    Have you ever seen the Sound of Music?
    Let's start from the very beginning

    Thanks Twinkle! :)  I was hoping a few of us would appreciate a good, happy, memory. 
    Hugs and Loves! :) :)

    Pardon me for that, Merlin.  I was channeling my inner  Trump.  The icy tentacles of stupidity thrust themselves straight-up my back-side, clamped down on my brain stem with a death grip, and circumvented the flow of blood to my nut. All I could think of was "Yuge", "Bigly", and "I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will have Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words."  I say this with the utmost conviction as most flat earthers are Trumpladytes.


    "Have you ever seen the Sound of Music?"
    To me, the "Sound Of Music" is a life hack!!!

    I have watched it so many times that I cannot even count. Julie Andrews is my spirit vagina.lol.
    If you had any idea how many times I saw that film and numerous stage events.  My favorite was a Rocky Horror Picture Show- movie showing where people got up, sang and enacted moments of the movie (Many in costume). It was a blast and I was so roasted!  lol

    Oh-da-Lay-eeeee!  Oh-da-Lay-EEEEE!  Oh-da-LAY-EEEEEEE...
    Lay-De-Oh-a-Lay-De-Oh-a-Lay-PHEW!!
    I would have to say the Sound of Music IS my favorite musical.  But, I struggle with that because the original West Side Story is also.  Very different musicals but still a fight between "gangs," to put it bluntly.
    I wanted to be Julie Andrews for many reasons.  We watched this muscial EVERY year that I can remember it being aired on TV.  My parents have the soundtrack, on Album, and we used to play it and dance around the house.  
    I still love this movie and inspired to see if it is on Netflix to watch it again, tonight. 
    Torture for Don, I'm sure, but it will be good for him.  He's used to it by now! A little pat of culture now and again does him good.  Big Giggles!  Thanks Goat!  :) :)

    Oh no! the ice sheets are melting.  We are all going to be flung off into space when that happens.  All the poor fish who will be swimming in the ocean one minute and the next be in space.  Do you think because of evolution, humans will no longer need oxygen to survive in the future?

    Someone on this thread has been flung into outer space long ago.  And never came back.  Hellllloooooooo?  Anybody out there?

    And before I get REPORTED?  This is not attacking anybody.  This is CHIDING a nice friend with total love.  

    And this is one of my favorite songs.  I took the time because like Hallmark cards, I cared to send the very best.

    4  -  3   -  TWOOOO, ONE  Earth below us.  Drifting falling  Floating weightless....falling falling.....

    Hmmm, Interesting thought. 

     I'm so glad you brought up evolution!  Have you ever heard of the "Phone Bone"?
    Apparently horns’ are growing on young people’s skulls.  Scientists are blaming the use of cell phones. 
    Biomechanic research is suggesting that people are developing hornlike spikes at the back of their skulls — bone spurs caused by the forward tilt of the head, which shifts weight from the spine to the muscles at the back of the head, causing bone growth in the connecting tendons and ligaments. The weight transfer that causes the buildup can be compared to the way the skin thickens into a callus as a response to pressure or abrasion.  Soon,(if not already)  people will be born with "Phone Bones".
    Here, check it out...

    I don't know how you feel about this, but I'm excited about the prospect of having another bone in my body

    The code that cannot be broken?  I have learned a thing. If you compliment those that are trying to goad?  It is way more of a thrill.  


    And those that I really compliment know the difference. For instance, you KNOW that I think you are great.  Others?  Have thinner skin and will put us in the jail on here.

    Bro, If the earth were round, we'd all be flung off into space. Since it's flat, everything just falls down so there is no need for gravity, silly
    This also helps explain the numerous extinction events on earth
