A game: Have you ever...

[davedajobauk]

Yes... Cyprus and Germany [in the army]

HYE wanted to settle elsewhere and leave your past behind you

 

[davedajobauk]

That must have been pretty grim.

It sure hurt, like the 'blazes' and ached for weeks
it was [I learned] a greenstick-fracture and bits had punctured muscles
even, the weight of the plaster cast... caused me gyp [enormous]

am so glad it is just memory

Ghastly...but i was also thinking it must have been horrible getting bronchitus every year.
Oh dear, now I'd better answer your question, and post another, cos the questions are getting left behind with our conversation, and I think people are getting confused.

 

[tansy]

Yes... Cyprus and Germany [in the army]

HYE wanted to settle elsewhere and leave your past behind you

YES YES YES (as long as my family were with me)


HYE gone camping?

 

[davedajobauk]

Many times .... as a boy scout and also as a soldier

nothing to it !

and is certainly NOT 'roughing it' when your needs become basically minimal

eg: if you can do without telly and an electric stove and fridge

then, it can be absolutely marvelous [out-there, with nature in the raw]

Yep - I LOVE camping....I went with Guides and also with my parents as a kid, and also go with my family.

If it were practicable I would live all year round outside.
The rain and the mud doesn't put me off. A couple of years ago we went camping, and the whole time it rained. We were the only ones there, and the field turned into a quagmire. And one day and night there was a really high wind. I think the campsite owners thought we were mad!
I just love all kinds of weather. (obviously extrene weather can be dangerous, or if it were to flood, so that's a bit different)
But it's great waking up in the morning and being able to stick your head straight outside,


HYE played a musical instrument?

.

 

[davedajobauk]

I learned and played a Flugel Horn at High School
I missed playing in the school concerts[after school hours]
because Dad couldnt be bothered
to take me there and bring me back, after, he had had a day at work

I havent played one since

Have to say I'm not quite sure what Flugel Horn is. Shame you couldn't get to the school concerts, and you stopped playing.

I attempt to play mandolin and violin...usrd to play in church music group..I just play now with a small group of friends in one of their houses.



HYE gone to the theatre?

 

[davedajobauk]

but i was also thinking it must have been horrible getting bronchitus every year

I was small for my age, pale and thin... 'undernourished' they said
little wonder I was bullied so-much at school
Funny that... cos when I look back...
when I came on leave from my tour in Cyprus, I bumped into
several former classmates from High School
I had outgrown them
and I could see them visibly cringe... 'anxious'
as to whether, I would now, seek revenge
doubtless, they walked on so very relieved
that I wasnt 'the sort'
to gain pleasure from, inducing pain in them

HYE gone to the theatre?

No but I once sang and played a sailor boy
in a school-production of, The Pirates Of Penzance
and was given a standing ovation [soprano]

Yep, but haven't seen aplay in years. A few years ago I went to a couple of musicals, and once I saw John Curry in an ice-skating show at the Hippodrome. It was brilliant. I think he was a brilliant skater.

HYE been to the top of a mountain?

 

[davedajobauk]

Have to say I'm not quite sure what Flugel Horn is.

[davedajobauk]

HYE been to the top of a mountain?

Yes.... the Royal Signals
had a Transmitter Site at the top of Troudos Mountain in Cyprus

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troodos_Mountains

I [several times] had to drive up there in a 3 tonner
delivering galvanised aerial tower components and other-supplies
that helped to maintain the site and it's staff

The narrow winding roads/tracks on the way up and down
make it a difficult and potentially dangerous trip
for a vehicle the length of a 3tonner
and could-not be negotiated by a bus or coach
which, simply put, could not make the 'turns' required

Part of, my driver training [there in Cyprus] took place on this mountain
and other trainee-drivers often DID lose the fourth wheel
in the very-tight and narrow bends
My instructor.... asked me [on my second day of driver-training]
if, I had ever driven before [answer: no] He said... I would pass first time
"you are a natural-driver... it comes easy to people with good eye-hand coordination"
What with Mensa, describing me, as a '3-dimensional mathematician'
I guess...
that my 'place/position' [in 3-D space] is automatically described to my brain

Thanks for the link on the Flugelhorn...it sounds an interesting instrument. I didn't know they used it a lot in Jazz. |You've nevr thought of taking it up again?


Yes, I've been to the top of Whistler Mountain in Canada...amazing. The air's thinner up there, it's really high. They're going to have the 1912 Winter Olympics up there.

HYE gone ballroom dancing?

nah not! I guess I grew up in an age/ social structure
that could assign, the terms: 'old-fashioned' and 'hoity-toity' to such activities
I have... watched Come-Dancing on several occasions
but have never had any inclination whatever to take it up myself

I have enjoyed dancing Reggae though

HYE taken dancing lessons of ANY kind

Oops, sorry, I just posted a lonk on Whistler Mountain (btw it's 2010 Winter Olympics , not 2012 like I sais), but the links ended up in the middle of your post quoted above....can't br bothered to change it...that's my husband chatting to me, you see, I can't concentrate

No, I've never had dancing lessons,,,but love folk dancing, country dancing, barn dancing...not that I've had opportunity to do it much, and I was always too inhibited before I was a Christian. I missed out on a lot in my younger days. WWish Jesus had save me sooner!!! Never mind.


HYE ever thought how the snow-plough driver gets to work in the morning? (That was my husband's suggestion for a question teehee)

 

[davedajobauk]

Easy enough to grab it out >>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistler,_British_Columbia

HYE wondered how the snow-plough driver gets to work in the morning?

For sure he has to have [or, be] snow-mobile

Though plainly, when such snowfalls are expected
they MUST... work in shifts and helicopters can transport key-workers to key-sites

lol spouses.... they try.... to be so-helpful.... dont-they ?


HYE wondered HOW
so much WEIGHT of water/ snow can be carried by clouds
that are, so-easily blown on the wind ?

LOL!

No, I don't think I ever have wondered that, but I suppose it's because it's little individual bits of water? And when it gets colder, or they join up together, they condense, get too heavy and fall as rain? Sort of :o

HYE ever learned the answer to the above qyestion?

 

[davedajobauk]

yeppers

In plain language

the water density of a volume of air grows with a rise in temperature
via evaporation
when the temperature of the air is reduced /cooled the volume shrinks
and brings about condensation [condensing]

Because warm air rises it displaces cold air forcing it downward
the MORE warm air is then additionally displaced [upwards]
this 'cycle' also returns condensing water back upwards
until the density of the water vapour cannot be supported by this cycle
which is when precipitation [rain] is then no longer preventable

This 'cycle' can get 'carried-away'
in a chain-reaction that will then create a storm
remember, that, warm rises and cold falls
the more that rises > the more that cold will come down also
the more cold, that falls so then
the more warm air is displaced upwards carrying warm moist air and
some of the falling cold moisture upwards above the cold
AND as a result of finding cold air from next to outer space NOW
so much closer to the planet
will therefore begin condensation much earlier
and so replace moisture immediately above that still falling
thus, all this moisture now entering into the newly vacated near vaccuum
will be drawn to the surface also

HYE considered our planet to be something like the nucleus of an atom ?
and thereby... have a new understanding of lightning

I knew it was SOMETHING like that....but didn't quite know (or remember ) the details. I'm sure I learnt it in geography lessons at some point...but that was 40 years ago.
I was sitting on the bus once with one of my young kidsnand they asked me about the condensation on the window...w
Well I kind of knew why it was there, but, as I say, it's one of those things one foregets (also I'm not very good at explaining things)
Anyhow, I was getting in a muddle trying to explain, when fortunately, the young man sitting behind us, overheard, and very kindly gave a clear explanation. Thank God foe kind strangers!

No, I hadn't considered that in relation to lightning, but I take it it's something to do with positive and negative energy...if you could explain.


HYE ever considered that God is a bit like an atom or the universe in that you have a proton, a neutron and an electon going around in an atom..it just remimnds me of God. I thought about this years ago when at a Christian Centre, and they said illustrate one verse or sentence in the Bible.
So I decided to illustrate "I Am"

I drew 3 circles interlinking, and when I got back home, I told my vicar, and he laughed and said that that had been a symbol of God for years, and pointed to the altar cloth where there was one embroidered...only it wasn't circles, but rather ellipses!. And I thought I was being so clever! LOL

 

[davedajobauk]

His 'word' is in us all... but, not being perfect... our understanding is forever flawed

If one person COULD assimilate and utilise
ALL of, the knowledge and wisdom
that has EVER BEEN on this planet

he /she, would still not approach the extent of God's knowledge

~
Earth with it's 'molten iron' core is a massive Dynamo
and this 'supports' a magnetosphere around it [an electromagnetic field]

Imagine the sun, also having one of these [as a nucleus]

and the planets, being it's electrons ???? [trapped in orbit about their nucleus]

and... then think-on, to our solar system having a similar field
and being an integral part of the universe, which, also has such a field
and now... why stop at a single universe ? what... if there are many universes
all, parts of a multiverse
which in turn, is only a single electron around a single atom
of, just one, our Lord's Brain-cells
How mighty is then, our God, who has created all-things

The THREE IN ONE, is very very old Sis'

HYE wondered why, when the human brain is so-much more complex
than the largest computer ever built
that man cannot compete with one mathematically ?
and yet...
the most clever computer ever built
cannot yet deduce 'stuff' that even an infant can learn to accomplish

[I did write.. 'yet']
