takes very little to cause that, how about you?

[Fred]

No, the pig didn't make a run for it.  too easy 


Are you not as fit as me?

[dyslexic teddybear]

Don't you hate chasing pigs?




                              Not to bad, but not as fit as a want to be. Packed on a few pounds, enough so now I'll do something about.

[Fred]

Is a pig worth chasing?


         I don't stack it on. I'm always on the move so it doesn't get a chance to catch up to me lol. Seriously, I exercise every day.....chin ups, push ups. sit ups and weights. Even take care of a mates property as well as my own.

isn't pork expensive?






                           I'm self employed......work varies so much, and being a bit backwards.....the harder I work, the less I tend to eat. When I'm just puttering around, I make a pig of myself. With or without a blanket.

[Fred]

Like porking do you mean?


                            I'm retired.    But it is a fact that the less you do, the more you think about eating.  But because I'm so active, I just don't put it on. Plus I have great willpower.

[dyslexic teddybear]

doesn't everybody like porking?






                                 I sometimes have great willpower......other times.....not so much. Agree on keeping busy, definitely eat less and burn off more. And I don't even feel very hungry. But.....when I'm not doing much.....I want to eat and eat......and then eat more.

Then have a snack.

Don't some prefer crackling?

[polywideblock]

crackling is only good when done right , right ?


                                                                         have had some atrocious jaw breaking crackling over the years 

[burnout.dawg]

Is there a right and wrong way to do crackling?


I've only tried it a few times, ending up sick to my stomach each time. 

[Fred]

There must be otherwise it would always be perfect, right?



                               Love good crackling but I find the older I get, the less my stomach can deal with it. Always need a shot of gin after pork roast to settle the grease.

do you think the "modern "generation are loosing the skills their parents had ?

                                                                                                                 e.g. cooking, housekeeping , personal grooming     not just talking about woman either. I might not sew but I learned to cook early on ( soon found the only way to get it like I like it was to do it myself   my steak is the first piece on the BBQ and last off I like it well done )

[burnout.dawg]

Is it possible the parents are forgetting to teach the "modern" generation these basic skills?

[JB400]

Did the parents even learn the basic skills?

[burnout.dawg]

Is there something lost (or forgotten) with each generation?

[Fred]

                                                                                                                 e.g. cooking, housekeeping , personal grooming     not just talking about woman either. I might not sew but I learned to cook early on ( soon found the only way to get it like I like it was to do it myself   my steak is the first piece on the BBQ and last off I like it well done )

You'd do well with Mrs. Fred, she likes them that way too.

[Fred]

Is there something lost (or forgotten) with each generation?

Could it be the generation past and gone?

[polywideblock]

maybe at least how they thought do you think ?

[Fred]

But are they putting their thoughts to good use?

[JB400]

Does it look like it?

[Fred]

I see nothing, do you?

[JB400]

Did you open your eyes?

[Fred]

is it actually possible to see nothing?

[JB400]

Is there something else you'd rather look at?

[polywideblock]

lots of things that are better to look at than nothing aren't there ?
