I was thinking a water feature more like this would be useful.

What I had in mind was something more like this, only on a slightly smaller scale, which would be sort of invincible and chi-defying.

Also, once it got going, you wouldn't be able to hear the unpleasantly dinging wind chimes from next door's roof.

Do you suppose this would be "chi-defying" enough as water features go?

You call that a wind chime? This is a wind-chime.

O no no

Ya can't go yet

I need fashion advice...

Is it better to continue my usual habit of wearing long skirts most of the time --

Or do I ever get to flaunt the well-muscled thighs of my youth, since they seem to be coming back to me from the 10-miles-per-day bicycle riding?

Dear Sine,

Please help me, I'm quite at my wits end - and a very endy wit it is, too. I have to open a new advice thread, but however should I name it? The trickling spring of my imagination has run quite dry.

Please help me, Sine.

You have to make a choice. You don't want your well-muscled thighs competing for attention with your creamy bosom, do you? Pick one area to emphasize per outfit. Because if you emphasize both at the same time it might look a little...well...commercial, shall we say.

[And that advice applies to Janine too.]

The trickling spring of your imagination has run quite dry, hasn't it?

Actually I think it's time to lay down the heavy burden of running other people's lives. I frequently don't sleep well at night for the worry.

But if you think Heaven won't be complete without an advice thread, you might try 'Ask Jeremiah G.'.

However let me just say how much I've enjoyed this thread and how much I appreciate KenWritez
encouraging me to do it. It's been fun.

Maybe "Sine of Times Square", if we're talking his creamy bosom and well-muscled thighs...

That's "Sine, Dear Sine, of the Times Square Sines"?

[I just realised that I've been using my usual mental mispronunciation. I do think he sounds better that way. More homely.]

Much danger, long and mighty toils he bore,
In storms by sea, and combats on the shore;
All which soft sleep now banish’d from his breast,
Wrapp’d in a pleasing, deep, and death-like rest.

Thus did Ulysses sleep,
and the young men slept beside him.


Shhhhhhhhh.....
