Enquiring minds though .... I'm 'in a place', right now. Nothing's happening / getting done, with me. I'm just hunkered down and Need lots of free flowing nothing muchness to see me through. I've found this one guy. Ironically, he talks about old internet memes! Half the time, I've no idea what one he's on about. But, he's incredibly personable and engaging. I sit listening to his shit endlessly. Only, 'today' he mentioned he'd been mentioned by " Pew Die Pie ", is it? Now, that's a name I've seen randomly crop up since for ever! Again, actively avoided it. Didn't want to know. But, my man talked about it and showed shots / clips? From what little I could gather, it's just some young guy who talks?! Fukk knows what about. But, he seems well famous for it. On line. What ever. I wonder/ed why. So, yeah. I get that some people get (on line) famous, just for expounding their views on shit. Fair enough. If it's a girl, and she's gorgeous? Probably easier. They're welcome. But, just as this very thread is now partly about " Nesting "; So someone could, conceivably, come here for 'Streamers' and find themselves wondering wtf 'Nesting' is. Something completely off topic and beyond their experience. So, I'm listening to this bloke, when he mentions someone who seems to just opine on god knows what ~ and millions listen (?!) And this girl, again, whose core subject drew my attention. But, who has all this other shit going on that I just can't fathom. My Dad's been dead over half a century now. Quite often, as I pick up my phone, to check my bank balance, or what ever, I think of Dad looking over my shoulder. Can you Imagine that?! " What's That, son?!? ". And, somehow, I find it very hard to imagine he'd just say; " Your 'phone? And you're looking at ye bank balance, ' On Line ' with it? That picture's your bank statement? Oh. Well, this isn't for me. I'm off for a walk. " He just wouldn't Be that trope Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Welsh_red 4,843 Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 Never been around nesting . Once youve got the egg what do you do with it , do you rear the bird or just have the egg as ornament Quote Link to post Share on other sites
