If hollows doesnt pipe up today I'll try to put together a guide tonight. I'm reasonably familiar with how to post from imgur and flickr, so i think i can explain those methods adequately. Does anyone use photobucket? If so, and you can make a synopsis of how to host and post from there, I'll add it to my info and make a sticky topic of it.

Thanks.
I haven't been able to use my photobucket account for some time, so can't be of any help in that department. |

Launching the Labour Party manifesto today, in his speech Jeremy Corbyn quoted a Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda - a lovely line: “You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.”
I looked up Neruda on the strength of that line, and he's great -I came across this poem of his that I thought some of you might like. Ode to Clothes Every morning you wait, clothes, over a chair, to fill yourself with my vanity, my love, my hope, my body. Barely risen from sleep, I relinquish the water, enter your sleeves, my legs look for the hollows of your legs, and so embraced by your indefatigable faithfulness I rise, to tread the grass, enter poetry, consider through the windows, the things, the men, the women, the deeds and the fights go on forming me, go on making me face things working my hands, opening my eyes, using my mouth, and so, clothes, I too go forming you, extending your elbows, snapping your threads, and so your life expands in the image of my life. In the wind you billow and snap as if you were my soul, at bad times you cling to my bones, vacant, for the night, darkness, sleep populate with their phantoms your wings and mine. I wonder if one day a bullet from the enemy will leave you stained with my blood and then you will die with me or one day not quite so dramatic but simple, you will fall ill, clothes, with me, grow old with me, with my body and joined we will enter the earth. Because of this each day I greet you with reverence and then you embrace me and I forget you, because we are one and we will go on facing the wind, in the night, the streets or the fight, a single body, one day, one day, some day, still. |

A great way to spend an afternoon in SF is to tool around North Beach. Visit AB Fits on Grant Avenue. Walk up to Coit Tower and see the fantastic WPA murals and ride the rickety elevator up to the top, praying all the way. Walk through Washington Square and admire sts. Peter & Paul. Have lunch at l’Osteria del Forno, a locals favorite not in most tour guides, so not jammed up like the Disenyesque restaurants all around it. There’s a few lesser-known clothing consigners you would like, I’ll pm you as I’m not going to blow up my spots.

Good call Mark. The weather should be nice too. I also love Mario's Bohemian Cigar store cafe in North Beach next to the park. You can get a beer and sausage sand on focaccia!

Up until yesterday, I’ve never heard of Friendsgiving, we had one day warning, when we found out we would be hosting 14 of my daughters friends. What evil genius thought this up? Anyone else know about this extended holiday?
Correction- a bogus number was given, 25 kids showed Edited by Sansome - 24 Nov 2019 at 1:38pm |

I have been a part of a few Friendgivings. They are a lot of fun..... However, we had plenty of notice, no teenagers were present, and we did not host the events.

These were all freshman kids, we heard about the 25 person, group chat when the kids started arriving.
We had to use 2 yoga balls for seats, they had a blast- a very loud blast. |
