I thought the sleeper was an old travel trunk, like a steamer.

LOL!

Sleepers/Railroad Ties are called
Traverses in France/French speaking countries, that's the sum total of my knowledge on that front.

So Airport sleepers do exist? We had a 6+ hour lay-over twice at Vancouver airport when I came up with the though that they should have sleepers and charge by the hour. Tho I pictured something alot more compact.

Venus - My birthday is just around the corner - May 14th. I am Taurus - stubborn but loyal, and brilliant, humble and naive as well)

I am thinking about my Birthday present to myself and can't make my mind.

One option is an e-book reader. The other...I don't even know. The other is just to not to buy anything and save money for later.

Any ideas, weekenders?

Give yourself a continuing commitment to self-improvement. Find the perfect card, put it in writing and put it where you see it everyday.

And get you some flowers from me.

No eye contact or talking to strangers allowed? That's right up my alley! Where do I sign up?

MB I'm a stubborn Taurus Bull too! Just a few days after yours

Hi Flower; I love the Grumpy Kitty avatar!

Thank you, Trach!

I almost forgot about flowers.

Purple - Tauruses are awesome, aren't we?)

Hi, Flower.

I need more coffee.

Good morning to all.
Hello and welcome flower

Around 05:00 a Harley Davidson passed outside. As much as I love that engine rumble I could have done without it at 05:00

MB - hi - you could get yourself a plant for the apt. An orchid or a yuca or a ficus tree or even a spider plant. I find those 4 to be pretty resistant and pretty.

Someone say COFFEE

Morning, Vinny!

That's a great idea about a flower.

Though I may postpone it after my 3 weeks business trip so that a poor guy won't die)

This is the best what I could find with combination of "boxer+ukulele".

I loved the lyrics

"In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains,'



Edit: I am sure, Dragon, you can do this song better)

Done. I'm going to look in at the British Museum so look at some of the various works of art that my country looted from around the world during the colonial era.

MidnightBlue an e-Reader is a good idea if you have a train or bus commute of around 20 minutes or more.
