Anyone else here tired of and ? I need lots of

Yea, I am tired of the cold, and I am trying to ignore it even though the sun is shining. Still can't see the grass for the snow. On the bright side, the dog crap is frozen making it easier to pick up and it does not stick to your shoes. I think we are 3 or more weeks behind you fellas. Can't wait to complain about the heat from inside an air-conditioned house.

One of those few conversations that we do not well, does not go anywhere and solves nothing.

What is that?

What is that?

It refers to the weather in various places represented here. Some are mowing their yards. Some cannot see their yards. Some have suffered the loss of today's Wordle. Others are considering using a DE or an SE. Many are frustrated because they have too many soaps. Others are on an endless search of the best bowl for making lather. Maybe you are considering if you really need a change of underwear. Maybe one more day will suffice.

I think Toby was referring to the musical notation. I’m not sure of the spelling or pronunciation, but it means start from the beginning, or in our case, reset.

edit: mea culpa… see post below from @TexStubble

Thank you, you're smarter and more helpful than some of the others here.

I think he flatted the f and didn't know was only a half step resulting in him being out of tune.

A fermata is a symbol placed over a note or rest telling us to hold it longer than its normal duration.

Hold it longer???

Reminds me of the medical definition of having one's head up their a$$, anal cranial inversion syndrome.

Like a wise and kind hearted Southern Gentleman used to tell me every morning, “I’m just trying to do my best!” Patrick was the security agent in my school for nearly a decade until he was transferred. He knew every child’s name and greeted every person who walked in the door with a warm and genuine smile. One example of living that I always try to keep.

It fits nicely with ”treat others as you wish them to treat you.” That’s something my folks instilled when I was a small child. My new perspective on life also includes trying to cut myself some slack when I fail.

You are confusing the fermata with D.C. (da capo).
fermata - hold for longer than notated
D.C. - back to the beginning

Ahh, thank you. My heart was in the right place though.

Friends don't let friends drive drunk. I think it is called tough love.

Hold or Pause, take a break and so on.

Fermata was also a movie where a man found he could pause time for all manner of reasons including getting intimate.

My meaning was to suggest that to and fro in the conversation to that point needed to be paused before the protagonists found themselves in hot water.

I did not realize when I started studying music that I would need to learn Latin and Italian.
