Taro? Experiences?

[WetWork]

Will do! Still too cold here to put them out so it may be a while.

[brokensword]

It looks much nicer in reality...probably

that's okay, Gemma; we here all know you're operating in unreality most of the time anyhow, so no need to drag us into 'reality' just for a taro's sake!!! We LIKE your lil fantasy world, don'tcha know!!

heh

I decided I'm gonna take this as a compliment, so thank you!

but of course! Reality sucks, we'd much rather play in Gemma's fantasy world than be dragged kicking and screaming out into the world at the moment!!! Isn't that why we have ponds? It's our great escape, no?

I mean seriously; my name is 'brokensword'--how 'unreality' can I get!!!!

[Gemma]

@brokensword No one ever asked me why I go by Gemma, do they really think that's my real name?
I was born the last day of winter and gemma, is the italian name for the small shoots that appear on a tree branch as a sign that it's waking from winter dormancy, and it's growing leaves and blooms...the very first sign of Spring

So why brokensword and not brokenarrow or brokenstick...ok that one I get why not

OMG! I was SO CLOSE! I was sure 'Gemma' was the name for those first few 'seed leaves' that appear on a branch as a sign that someone's prodding it for sleeping in and being lazy and...oh, wait, guess I wasn't that close after all...sigh. I'll claim I've had my head over the mop pail too long this morning...yeah, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!


I just figured Gemma is because you're a 'gem; of a ponder, is all. Somethin' like that!!


I'll give you a hint, Gemma, re MY moniker (and it's funny; no one's ever asked! and I've used it since about 2000...); it relates to a Sci-fi fantasy novel/movie...

(laughing at 'brokenstick'!!! yeah, you SHOULD be smh right about now!!)

@Gemma well for Heaven's sake! Yes I thought your name was Gemma and I thought Brokensword was an Indian.............oops can I say that here, is that politically incorrect?
I find myself scratching my head a lot in here and no @brokensword I don't have lice!

@brokensword I don't have lice!skeleton scratches head 1.gif

what are you looking at ME for? I ain't in charge of your head this month!! And I unilaterally take my name off that duty list for the foreseeable future, now that you're mentioning the L word...sheesh. Mopping never looked so good!

[brokensword]

and I thought Brokensword was an Indian.............oops can I say that here, is that politically incorrect?

Indian? Sheesh, I don't even like Indian food; not fond of curries etc. Too spicy for this ponder! Didcha really think 'Indian' from 'brokensword'? Don't even think Indians ever used swords, let alone a broken one! You def have 'broken arrow' on your mind, though, if you get the 'point'!
