How's y'alls week going?

Hi. My week so far: had a free hair cut, a job interview, spent time with a friend
and with a young cat. Made many hobby related things... Not much money, but surviving.

Just a lame attempt at irony...

The French have given the world some pretty nifty things, among which is no less

No, I'd happily speak French with you, if I could.

In the last hour or two I have been messaging stores that I placed orders with
and had an issue with an item or more.

I’ve been very polite and asked if the items could be replaced, leaving it to
them to suggest a resolution.

I now find my self stoplisted by someone, seriously !

I’ll not lose sleep over it but I do wonder what their reaction would have been
if I’d just posted negative feedback, I’ve already posted positive feedback for
a couple of these stores as the odd mistake is not the end of the world.

Now to check if they’ve posted negative feedback too.

Hi. Sorry to hear that u had bad experiences. What i have read your postings
here, you seem like a very nice man, so i do not know why all the sellers have
not reacted different way about when you have said what things you would like
to be changed. Have not read all replies to you when i write this. But i hope
it does not happen to you anymore that negative way of reacting to your wishes.
*hugs*

No, not pretty. In fact, someone once asked me just how many branches I hit on

Oh.. I do not know is that true, but i am never the one to take part to any competition
about being beautiful. But the older men get, usually after certain age they
find other things than outer beauty in a woman, that interests them 😂 So, no.
I do not wear any make up, do not have any silicon filling in lips or places
under my head and am curvy not athletic looking. And am satisfied with my height
and ok with my body type. Sorry if i said too much 🤭

LEGO has been adding more unique colors in recent years, something I’m sure many
of us welcome. After all, who doesn’t like more shades of red and yellow?

Whether it be something as exotic as Sand Red, as basic as Blue, or fun like
Transparent Orange with Glitter, feel free to share your opinion!

Personally, you can never go wrong with Sky Blue.

Hi. There are many... Dark purple, dark turquoise, dark azure, medium azure,
trans-dark blue, green, lavender, medium lavender, sky blue, violet 😁 at least

So i thought that.. Since my name here is Witch.. Do i always have magic...?
Only in my dreams and in movies i watch, in Legos, in fantasy picture, 2 boxes
with beautiful art from Anne Stokes... ❤️
So what do you have always? It can also be something not materialistic.

PCThurman is a compilation of my husband (Patrick) and my name (Cassandra) and
of course our last name Thurman.

Words can have strong influences over us, often more than we realize.

The term “Witch” for me evokes the image of a long-haired woman. Someone that’s
powerfully independent of thought and completely comfortable with their self.
The antithesis of group thinker or follower.

As to the term “popsicle” it evokes feelings in me...

A nickname my kids’ friends tagged me with, after they countless times heard
my son and daughter call me papa with their strong Swedish accents. It was the
period when I moved back home to the states with my then very young children.
They were transitioning from Swedish to English at the time.

Our home in California was where many of the kids on the block gathered and played,
often having their friends with us on our many outings too. A few of the kids
had, let’s just say absentee parents, so they would sometimes stay for days.
Needless to say, I came to hear the moniker “popsicle” often, to the point of
it becoming a term of endearment. Looking back, I think it was because I felt
very much like a father to some of the kids. The term-association and meaning
remained in my heart (still does) so I used it when choosing a username.

Hi there Mr 🙂 That was so nice said, what came to your mind about my name here,
thanks 🤗
And i think that you were so brave to go and live in another country...

I love travelling, but i have most times thought, that maybe it would be too
difficult for me to learn all kinds of official paperwork and things if i would
live in another country.
And maybe i would be afraid, that what if i would feel too sad too. And would
i make friends there and what about work...

Yet i have watched lately really much many kinds of videos from Youtube that
are made in English and are about tv series, fun places like amusement parks,
and many other kinds of things. And i keep on dreaming my silly dreams.

Thank you for saying how you got your name popsicle 🙂
I wish you a lovely day/evening 🙂

That is good 🙂 I have not written much letters or cards lately. When i was younger,
i used to write many letters... Lately it is so fast to send a text message or
sending email and not worry if normal mail would get lost or something else.
Just came to my mind about letters 🙂 But poems... Those i make a lot. 😃

part to that game? Am curious.

Last week it was so nice, when it was offer for 5 euros per movie in movietheaters
for Thursday only. I had been waiting for that offer for many months... And now
in another named movie theater they offer movie for 4 euros 😋 wow. And for 4
days. Did not expect that 😯😊. I went to see 2 horror or scary themed movies
last week.

Do you ever go to movies and if so, which type do you like to see?
Or do you prefer watching at home?

People still go to movie theaters???

I haven't been to a theater since the pandemic started, but I still enjoy
watching movies. Most recently, I watched Who Killed Captain Alex?

Hi. I just watched the trailer of movie you mentioned. Do you know a movie called
"The ghost and the darkness" and "Prey" from the year 2007? Them
i have both seen. I have at least Prey at my home.

The cost of cinema tickets, sundries, other patrons that constantly talk, get
in the way of the movie (when buying sundries/using the loo), using their phones
and kicking the back of the chairs mean that I no longer go to the cinema at
all.

It really seems too much to expect cinema goers to be civil to others that have
paid eye watering amounts to watch a film that will be available on DVD/BluRay
or streaming for half the price just a month or two later. I'd rather wait
and watch all movies in the comfort of my own home, without the interruptons.

Hi ☺️ Yes, i understand how annoying kicking chairs can feel, if you sit on it
and somebody does that to your chair. No matter if on an aeroplane, theaters
or what ever places...
And if see light from some mobile phones like last time one young guy was typing
with it. Why do they go to movies, if they can not concentrate...? I have bought
many movies from very cheap prices from flea markets and other shops after the
movies are most times not that new anymore.

is or was on Disney channel or something, that i do not have that channel, because
i would need to pay for the channel.. I only watch from tv the channels that
