So you just want to be mothered then
If that's what all those girls do to him, sure!

You can't handle the truth!

How about the truth as to why my thread was deleted without any notice.
Now that would be a first.
Are there any guidelines as to what is the correct procedure for deleting a thread?
Like a reason?
Col
Did you delete it, Colin?
Colin, while there are times I could jolly well throttle you because you do have a "flip" side, in this case I understand your point about courtesy.
There is another discussion elsewhere in the forum involving moderators and retracted posts that is turning into a "see who can be discourteous most chivalrously" match. It got out of hand so fast that I am saddened by it, because the participants aren't bad people, they've just got their dander up.
Jeez Louise, what's wrong with common courtesy? Or is it that common courtesy is like jumbo shrimp and military intelligence and political honesty? Oxymorons all.

For forum readers who don't know this, gumbo is Swahili (I think) for okra, and the color of the gumbo comes from two sources. First, you make a roux, which involves browning some flour and butter. That is the brown component. Water later thins it out, but it stays brown ... unless you add some cayenne extract, which would turn it more orangey or even reddish - if you like it spicy.
Do they still live in houses made of earth and wood down there?
The great majority of American homes are made of wood Rich.
And normally we bake our earth before we use it in construction.
They do not make wood homes in England.
Do look up the term timber framed![]()
And the floors roof trusses etcYes - it means timber FRAMED... meaning there is a framework made of timbers, much different from making the entire home of wood.
