Did we get any answer to WTF any of it had to do with waking upright?

Perhaps HL's rank could be changed to Abstruse Goose.

Prompted by it certainly. I had been challenged to start an argument as well remember. Wink

oh yes

senior moment I'm afraid, brought on by snow melting and sunshine coming a month early

by Guest 12th March 2010, 3:07 pm

Not surprised Badger....I had noticed on the Arctic Snow and Ice Data your part of the world has been 12degC above long term average and is not ice locked this winter...thought to put something in the climate change area as Europe has had a taste of ice age possibilities....its all very confusing for us all!

by Adrian 12th March 2010, 3:17 pm

we are defiantly seeing a climate shift here in Canada, the pine beetle has made it over the Rockies, that is scary as there are now hundred of thousands of acres of dead pine in Western Canada and its moving East, the winter has usually prevented the beetle migrating over the Rockies and kept it in BC, not any more.

We are seeing longer infestations of deer ticks and I was actually bitten by a mosquito 2 weeks ago.

So having spring a month early is nice, but scary

I'm losing the plot here.....

but I have an urge to go and hug a tree

Example --- one of the (magnetic sign) bumper stickers on the back of my car says "Tree hugging dirt worshipper" (the other is "Ignore the environment; it will go away")

Do we think the Hairy One has given up on this. lol!

by Compostwoman 12th March 2010, 10:48 pm

You can think that. I don't really care that much,
I'm just trying to hammer out some definitions.

Why does it so much matter what we are all called?

I agree in part but when I first joined I thought MrsC actually was a freegan and TBH I don't want people thinking that of me if I have that label.

Some-one might see - Green Rosie, Freegan, was advertising a gite but be put off if they think I go round taking food from bins to sustain my family.

by Adrian 13th March 2010, 12:55 pm

Actually, good point GR, that rank will be changed.

by Guest 13th March 2010, 1:48 pm

In some way the terms are rewards for posting on the forum. Yes ok its only quantity...but most people like their efforts to be recognised. It could be terms like different birds from ground hugging ones up to the real heights...or names of a river as it grows more mature.

by Adrian 13th March 2010, 1:53 pm

I did consider things like that, but I wanted to get away from rank being a reward, I just wanted it to be a bit of fun

by Compostwoman 13th March 2010, 2:18 pm

I still miss being "Master Composter".........( she says slightly mournfully....)

by Jaded Green 13th March 2010, 5:31 pm

Wasn't quite sure what to make of "Go to gal" when I first saw it, but I like the vitality and wish I had the energy to match it at the moment!

I think I must "go to" and do some ironing Very Happy

by polgara 13th March 2010, 5:38 pm

I think they are fun and as long as neww members know what it means, and feel they can come to us. I am happy

by Compostwoman 13th March 2010, 8:27 pm

I like the spanner wielding dog...
