I miss **norinew**. Among other things, she was a hoot in the welcome threads. :sad: ---

I have it on good authority that any threadmill that’s capable of supporting an airplane will get stuck in the muddy soil we have around here in the Netherlands. There are some engineers that are working on a solution, but since it will only work upto a certain weight limit - the dreamliner should be just within range, the A380 won’t - the French are using all their EU muscle to stop us. So I guess I’ll never know my position… ---

But honestly, I might go for the shot…very happy I don’t have any kids, because that thread would’ve screwed me up in so many ways. So, what’s next one going to be…anything on the particularities of building a deathstar?😃 ---

You can get some squid juice at the Japanese store on the corner if you want to. Ok. You can stay. I’ll try to get the yogurt elsewhere. I just hope the squid juice goes well with Sake. :dubious: -D/a ---

Over in the other thread there was talk of a fruit basket. For this thread, maybe a picnic basket would be more appropriate. ---
