I used translate.google.com. Puzzled! Anyhow... The fellow who wrote "The philosopher in the kitchen" has this: The test of asking the poor dh about what he ate for dinner last Tuesday, and expecting a complete recall, as well as a complimentary review, is a severe test for love.
Are folks here making any special plans for viewing the solar eclipse next month? Any of you lucky souls in the path of totality?
I didn't get what "Follow"ing means in IL. I followed somebody and my notifications didn't change in any way. I get notified when they tag me, quote my post, or post in a thread I am watching. Which happens even with members I don't follow.
I had noticed that too. And then concluded that "follow"ing is somewhat like one member offering a trophy (intangible thing like "appreciation") to another, which gets displayed on the profile page..... sort of like a good-grade going on the fridge-door.
When you follow someone their posts appear in your news feed. Click on your username on the top right, the news feed is one of the first links. Following is simply a practical way to keep track of posts by members whose writing one might want to read. It is like having a feed of your favorite blogs, only in this case a subset of posts. If you log in irregularly, it is easy to miss posts/threads. Adding someone to your news feed by following them makes it convenient to find their posts.
If a bright light was observed across the northern hemisphere, that was me finally getting what 'to follow' means. Looks like when we moved to the new forum software, the old "friends" or "contacts" or something became ones I follow. I will trust that if i unfollow, no notification is sent and unfollow a few who haven't posted in years. Is a useful feature indeed.
: ) The image of anyone wearing an eye-patch while listening to Raag Bhimpalasi is smile-evoking. In fact, the people I know who would listen to it and enjoy it, are the kind who will hardly ever sit still. And not with an eye-patch. : ) Somehow that music for treadmill.. is like fish in a Gujarati thaali. : ) It's a good piece to listen to when one has half an hour of work left and can play the music without earbuds. Preferably late in the night.
