I have never liked the Corvette Stingray’s looks from the early models to today’s. The corvette part comes from the smallest warship class, the stingray because its primary designer, Bill Mitchell was a deep sea fisherman and likened the design to the fish.
They have it perfect now. I’ve disliked or was merely OK with ‘Vette models until the current design. I LOVE the current ‘Vette design. But, as I realized about Ferraris a while back, I can look at them for free, and that’s the best part. I have no interest in owning one.
Without my glasses, my vision has never been better than somewhere in between the one and three month examples above, though without the darkness shading the first two.
I can distinguish people just fine… sometimes they do have to get close enough :).
Not just two people, but many, and visual acuity is only part of it.
….
Unless the baby has congenital prosopagnosia, a neurological disorder also known as face blindness, a special part of the brain starts to help distinguish elements of faces, more than of other objects.
And I’m sure that young babies start picking up the other cues we use as adults…
voices, yes, but also things like expressions, gestures, mannerisms, and individual ways of touching or holding them.
I thought that too with our two. But I know this from the cats we had, the kittens couldn’t see that well when their eyes “opened up”, so I kinda go along with the fuzzy eyesight processes.
I now believe that our wee ones were more likely following the sounds being made. Hearing within the womb, although muffled, would be their first interaction to the outside world.
Today’s Songs:
‘1. Time After Time,’ ‘2. Time Of The Season,’ ‘3. Time Warp,’ and ‘4. Turn Me Loose,’ and the ‘Cheap Thrills Cuisine’ recipe ‘5. Cabbage Soup.’
1. Both composers, Bob Hyman and Cyndi Lauper, were having romance problems when they wrote this ‘Time After Time’ just after they’d met.
2. Psychedelic, man. It made number 3 on the billboard charts.
3. A well done lyric video, not the movie clip. Susan Sarandon is now 77 years old, she was in her late 20s when she acted in ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show.’
4. Made it to Billboard’s number 6 position. Loverboy is out of Calgary.
5. I’ve never had cabbage in soup that I can recall, and while I like the sound of the rest of the recipe it will have four cups of chicken in place of the cabbage; of course that make’s it chicken soup. I’m not against cooked cabbage, I really like cabbage rolls (I posted that recipe here on February 17 of last year), but I don’t like the thought of cabbage cooked by boiling.
You’re right, I do mention where I live, now and then. I don’t really care that some people will know or remember.
I don’t even care if someone else mentions it, sometime especially if there’s a context for it.

It’s a little hard to explain….
But the key there is “some”.
And whether it makes sense or not, also that it’s MY information. Mine to choose when to say it, to whom, and how often.
I assume it’s unimportant to most people, and a lot of them will forget, and that’s fine.
…
I’m sure I’ve mentioned where you live, or responded to it. Where StelBel lives, too.
But I wouldn’t repeat it on every single post to or about either of you…
…..
It just started to feel like too much…. like you were constantly broadcasting my personal information, more often than I felt like sharing it…. almost like showing it off.
No big deal. It wasn’t that I was upset, just that I’m more comfortable without it.

That’s a cuddly potato.
It’s the Buddha!
Or the Buddhog
NOSE!

me, too.
The 2023 model reminds me of television’s 1966-’68 Batmobile (itself based on a 1956 concept Lincoln).
I would be happy to have one. My favorite body was the C3.
-PO?
yellow is my LEAST favorite color…. but any color is great on a stingray!!!!!
But what about voices? I think babies can distinguish Mom and Dad earlier than this suggests.

Smell and taste.
How do they know this?
I think they interviewed a talkative baby 😉
YMMV. My daughter was following the nurses around the room almost as soon as she popped out the chute.

“Last of the Clowns ” By: Mark Bryan
ZOT!!!
Missed both again.
Me too, missed both
Clearly it’s
Yes
The kid looked so familiar, but I couldn’t quite pull it together till I saw the adult.
🤦♀️
i got the adult! favorite actor!

Heath Robinson wasn’t a fan of smoking, you say. (Unusual in those days)
Of course, there’s no fire danger at all from those constantly burning cigar-lighter candles.

Lyrics are great, but let’s see the original movie version of this song:
Trying again to post a link to the movie scene for Time Warp.
Earlier reply to Nighty also did not post.
I see it in both of these posts… Don’t see an earlier one at all.
Just in case this was the problem….
I usually have to refresh the page after I post to see a video embedded…
Before that it shows a link.
Cabbage soup is a form of borscht, traditional in Russian, Jewish, and other Eastern European cuisines.
My cabbage rolls are simmered on the stovetop with many of these same ingredients, not baked, and they’re delicious.
…
The spicing in this recipe is weird… as with many of their recipes.
Try making some without it, except a bit of salt and pepper, and a little garlic, and more tomatoes (I use canned). A pinch of brown sugar mellows it.
I leave the carrots in big sections, and cut the cabbage in bigger chunks, as well.
You can use raw chicken parts or the bones from a roast chicken, and water, just to cover, instead of the broth and it’ll be even better.
Great stuff.

Time of the Season is another song I’ve always really enjoyed!
Why not? We do everything else in the rain up here.
I always enjoyed Donald O’Basset’s dancing. That wall running thing he did amazes me.
Oh! I love Stel’s poster for “Howling in the Rain”…
And I’ve always loved the movie, as well.
Even when I was a little girl, in spite of my mother’s insistence that Freddy Astairedale was a better dancer,
I was absolutely enthralled with Gene Kellydog.
What an athletic yet graceful pooch.
He could have taken any canine agility trials with one paw behind his back….
if he weren’t already busy being a Howlywood dancer and movie star.
…
And of course, true to her sobriquet, “Good Girl”, Debbie Reyhounds was every young girl’s role model….
though, truth to tell, I secretly longed, with far greater fervor, to be the incredible-looking, whirlwind-dancing Cyd Chienne.
…
This is another film that humans tried to emulate….
But how could they possibly dance and howl like bassets?
…..
I just tried to post a video I had saved, of a souvenir from an earlier revival of this film…. a battery operated singing dog.
Originally sold in the lobby, it was a bit pricey.… But today it’s worth more, as a collectible.
Unfortunately, that video link doesn’t work any more.
On the other hand, there’s a new version of the doggie….
I like the older one better…. but this one is still available, for all you Gene Kellydog fans!
Video unavailable.
I was trying to find another when you posted that.
Comment now edited.
I get “This video isn’t available anymore” (the lack of punctuation is on YouTube).
Edited in at 07:15 E.S.T. I overlapped both Tigressy, and your reply.
It’s still not available even with your editing.
In reference to your comment below, see the missing.
I don’t know how but the edited version somehow posted below your comments, and left the original in place.
Fixed now I hope.
You guys both showed up almost instantly after my first post.
Give a sleepy person a minute, please 😁
(And pretty please quit pointing out where I live in every post)
This one I see.
See my edited comment above.
I, wrongly, didn’t think you’d mind as it was you who told us back in the Sherpa days.
things change!!!
Thanks Alexi!

So thanks.
So, Vienna, Austria isn’t correct?
Just kidding. {^¿^}
Might be fun for a change, though. ??
i, too object to letting the world know where i live, too!!!!
Ha Ha! Yeah, me too.
seattle is a huge place!
Not as big as Montana.
I see it, but as usual I’m a day late ☺
‘howlin in the rain’ is an all time stel favorite.
thanks, NH!
