In this fast paced world it's easy to just take life for granted so I constantly remind myself to be grateful. Time is short and I want to concentrate on the things that matter most like learning, exploring, and sharing with others.Dave Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074715438584429020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34011427.post-63175773660691127422009-12-29T18:06:51.141-06:002009-12-29T18:06:51.141-06:00I have a bit of a soft spot for the phrase "b...I have a bit of a soft spot for the phrase "brand spanking new". <br /><br />That *is* a hands on metaphor isn't it? :-) <br /><br />It comes in quite *handy* when blogging about naughty U*Us.Robin Edgarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06208142626285495635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34011427.post-8160867799121075382009-12-29T12:10:48.950-06:002009-12-29T12:10:48.950-06:00Thanks, Larry,

"Handy" can mean both skilled and available.Doug Stowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003845322415622289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34011427.post-65167001827805118182009-12-29T11:51:02.532-06:002009-12-29T11:51:02.532-06:00My favorite is to "lend a hand" or the r...My favorite is to "lend a hand" or the request "could you give me a hand?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34011427.post-3948674473929050992009-12-29T11:24:47.114-06:002009-12-29T11:24:47.114-06:00Patrick, Thanks.

There is a close relationship between the "hand" and how we "feel," in that the same term "feel" is used for both internal and external reality... a textural as well as emotional state.Doug Stowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003845322415622289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34011427.post-90341134436726066202009-12-29T10:48:00.097-06:002009-12-29T10:48:00.097-06:00When describing the textural quality of material, ...When describing the textural quality of material, you talk about the "hand" of it.
