The Great Cats Latch Hook Project – Part 2

Posted on February 22, 2025 by pauldelancey

Hi there. I’ve made some project. As you can, it’s going to be two cats. I’ve sorted enough of the yarn to progress more quickly. However, the kit calls for me to use two nearly identical bits of yellow yarn. I just can’t tell them apart. I’ll see if I can get a better pair of eyes to tell the yellow colors apart. Then it’s full speed ahead

And here’s the inital progress.

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary – Today’s Word – Mibiro

Posted on January 21, 2025 by pauldelancey

How many times has this happened to you? You spent your whole life working 80 houea a week and spending only enough to eat and to have shelter. Then on impulse you bought a Vermeer at Sotheby’s auction. You spent every last dollar you had. How will you? Where will you live? In retrospect, buying a painting by that Dutch master was rash. You’d give anything to undo that last bid. You are suffering from buyer’s remorse.

But not all purchases bring about such regret. Perhaps you bought a box of doughnuts when you’re trying to eat healthier. You rue this decision, but only a bit. I mean, it’s only a small outlay and doughnuts are tasty. You are suffering from a mild form of buyer’s remorse.

We need a  word for this emotion.

This word comes from the portmanteau of: mild, buyer’s, and remorse.  Ta da!

TODAY’S AWESOME WORD

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary – Today’s Word – Noootice

Posted on January 5, 2025 by pauldelancey

How many times has this happened to you? You spent hours alphabetizing the spices and herbs. And you poured this ingredients into smaller, smarter looking containers. Perhaps you balanced the checkbook. Maybe you weeded that bit of land to the side of the house, where no one can see it. Will people appreciate it?

No. No one noticed and no one will notice.

We need a  word for this feeling of having your achievement being totally overlooked.

And the portmanteau from the words: NO One will nOtice yields

Busy Days

Posted on December 3, 2024 by pauldelancey

This will be a short post as I was busier than a spreadsheeter who had six hours of data entry disappear with the presentation due in five hours. I did save the Earth yesterday, so that’s something.

P.S. Does anyone know where to find wild-boar meat? Thanks.

Kitchen Tips, #3, The Oven

Posted on August 29, 2024 by pauldelancey

Using the oven can be daunting, if not downright terrifying.

“The oven is so confusing, ” I hear you say.  “Won’t someone please tell us how to use it?”

I’m glad you asked. Yes, indeed the oven can be intimidating with all those dials.

However, you’ll bake an excellent dish everytime if follow these basic steps.

1) Preheat the oven.

2) Put the food to be baked in the oven. (This is a critical step or so a friend told me.)

3) Take the food out. (Also important, unless of course, you’re trying to make charcoal and black smoke.)

There you have it, you chef, you.

I Did Not Medal in the Olympics

Posted on August 12, 2024 by pauldelancey

I did not medal in the Olympics.

I forgot to write my trials on the calendar.

The officials there disqualified me for not showing.

One day I’ll be over 70

And be past my prime.

I am bereft of joy.

Paris is no longer the City of Lights for me.

Poetry is hard.

I need a taco.

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary – Today’s Phrase: Cookie Health Care

Posted on July 30, 2024 by pauldelancey

Surgeries are scary. And taking pills can be just as intimidating. Sure, you might start with one, but before you know it you’ll need a backhoe to lift your daily pills into your mouth. You can wait in a doctor’s office for up to an hour to hear his five-minute opinion. Moreover, all these paths to better health can be expensive, And do health-care avenues ever make you happy?

No.

But what makes us feel better? And is inexpensive?

Cookies.

Cookies make you feel better. We love people who give us gifts. When have we even felt love when wheeled into the surgery room? When given pills?

Never.

But cookies make us feel better. Cookies let us know people care about how we feel. Cookies improve our outlook and so, our mental health.

If only there were a  phrase to describe this great cure. And now there is:
