Mothers are the necessity of invention
|
Last night, when I arrived home, I entered my home to find the electricity had gone out. This complicated my plans for the evening until I discovered James's solution to the lack of power. He and Mom had been watching movies all afternoon. How? When the electricity is out and you can neither sew, cook, email, telephone or listen to the radio, how exactly is it that the tv and dvd player are working? James used a car battery and a power inverter. Don't ask me how he thought of this. Boredom is the mother of invention. Or necessity or whatever.
When Mom wanted some toast to snack on, he packed it all up and headed to the kitchen. This ought to give you an idea of how he did it.
Step one: Battery
Step two: Inverter
Step three: Appliance
Step four: Finished Product
Voila!

Only James would come up with that creative invention. :) How does it feel to have an electrical genius in the house?

Just to clear this up, one movie does not constitute movies all afternoon.

Where to start? I seemed have missed so many blogs lately that I don't know where to begin commenting! At first I was incline to comment on each post, but then I thought "who goes back and reads old posts?" So then I thought that maybe I could just comment on the old blog posts on THIS post! But then I realized that the readers would be inconvenienced by the fact that they would constantly have to scroll down to see what I was refering to.
That got me thinking. "Can one post a comment on an old blog or should he/she simply enjoy it (or whatever) and move on, knowing that the time for commenting and/or discussing them has passed? Or, can I comment about an old blog post on a new post? And what about commenting on the new blog post? Can that comment be included in the same comment space as a comment about an old blog post? Or should I comment on the new post in a different space so as to avoid confusion by the readers?" So I decided that until I find an article that deals with Blogger Commenter's Etiquett, I decided that I would simply comment about how one should comment.

What was that about wanting 'to avoid confusion by the readers'?

Sorry, My purpose was not posts.
Reading English becomes very good study.
My purpose is it.
I can not understand details of English language.
But, I should delete the upper comment.
After a while, this comment is deleted, too. I'm so sorry. Maki, M
P.S. The photograph of you at Lauren's is very pretty!
How about the weather today?
Have a nice weekend!

Oh, don't delete your comments! I like to see new people here. You're right. English is terribly hard to read. It's even worse trying to express yourself in it. I think I ought to come up a whole language all my own. :)

I am sorry I am careless. You are right.
I am looking forward to your impression of movies and books. I learn English language.

| The ShugaBowl |
| Sounds like some kind of sports thing, but in reality, the ShugaBowl is just a little hideaway for me, Sugarcube herself, to let loose my thoughts and occasional creativeness. |
