Thanks, hip. That's what they mean by "rolling hills".

I say, Miss Hip...I believe you coined a new word

There is a bubbling or babbling spring, and a gurgling stream as well...

you took it a step further and married two words to form 'blurbling'.

Has a certain onomatopoeia to it.

I must say, I kind of like it.

thank you. it just seems to fit.

Honestly: can you really spell onomatopoeia without looking it up?

Another great picture PAhippo! I will not attempt spelling onomatopoeia; unless I can do a copy and past like I just did!

Yes, almost ashamed to admit it...I have a MA in English Lit...while I was in Grad. School, (night courses) I was recruited by my Profs, whom I hung out with, to teach an English Comp I course immediately after I graduated.

The course was the last one of the evening, 7:40-10:10 pm, two nights a week, after speaking with students after class etc. I had to hump it across campus to my car, then a 35 minute ride to my home.

I then realized that my Profs, while pretending to do me a big favor by getting me the job, were actually doing themselves a favor by not having to teach that boring class so late in the evening.

I was at the time, working full time, playing out in a band on Fri and Sat.nights, and restoring a 1865 farmhouse all at once.

I realized that teaching was not for me, under any circumstances... I have two brothers that teach and they truly love their profession, but I obviously was not cut from the same cloth.

I also found out that the only advantage of a Graduate degree in English is the ability to do Crossword puzzles faster than most, and to spell obscure words like onomatopoeia without looking them up.


Fisheye, you definitely have the decided edge on me by being able to cut and paste...I am Computer challenged, and just recently learned how to post pics from a picture host site to Message Boards using my iPad Air.

PAhippo,


Sometimes I think I live in a Cracker Barrel:







PS Magoo,


I use PhotoBucket: http://s1207.photobucket.com/. Just move any photo to your desktop and then you can drag it to the PhotBucket 'download' box. Then, when you want to post the picture to CD; simply enlarge the picture first and then right click and copy the 'properties'. Then, on our CD forum, after you type your text; you click on the little picture of the mountain and sun and the box will pop up for you to paste the properties in. It might sound complicated at first; but it is pretty easy. PhotoBucket is free.

Actually, if they fell; it would not be torture - it would be over!
