Answer a Question with a Question...

[Rosemarie]

Is it true that it was actually Tower Bridge they wanted? (stealing our heritage)

 

[hollydolly]

I believe mistaking it for tower bridge was a tall tale, would you ever want to visit tower bridge ?

 

[Rosemarie]

What makes you think I haven't (bearing in mind that I am English)?

 

[hollydolly]

I don't think anything, I have visted several times bearing in mind I live near it... and even sailed under it ... have you ever sailed on the sea, anywhere ...?

 

[Rosemarie]

Yes, I went to Egypt by sea before the days of air travel, does that give you an idea of how old I am?

 

[Kaila]

Who wouldn't prefer to see something real and exciting, and why wouldn't anyone wish for a trip to London?



(EDITTED: Oops! I was responding to an earlier question, regarding whether I would rather go to Arizona to see a rebuilt bridge, or prefer to see the tower bridge in London; I hadn't realized there were already several posts, after that one. SORRY! I will try to be more careful, I promise, but I admit I have made this same error numerous times, and have been careful, but still make the same mistake at times.)

Do you ever make the same mistake repeatedly, even though you are truly trying not to?

 

[Rosemarie]

Oh yes, we all do, and surely that's nothing to be ashamed of? (Some of us are slow learners.)

 

[hollydolly]

No-one should be ashamed of who they are as long as they're not hurting other people, we're all different as a human race would you agree?

 

[Rosemarie]

Yes, isn't it a relief to find a site that allows you say things like that?

 

[Kaila]

Are most people fast learners at some things and slow learners at others? Or fast at some moments and slow at other times?

 

[Rosemarie]

Yes, why don't schools realise that and develop the different talents of each child?

 

[hollydolly]

Probably not enough teaching staff available ....my daughter was lucky her talents were recognised at school...do you have a talent ?

 

[mike4lorie]

Is jumping Jacks a talent?

 

[hollydolly]

do you think it is ?

 

[mike4lorie]

Do I think what is?

 

[hollydolly]

Do you think jumping jacks is a talent ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Would you enlighten me please, as to what Jumping Jacks are? (They used to be a type of baby's shoe.)

 

[hollydolly]

Jumping jacks is a game we used to play as kids... here's an explanation

Do you recognise it now, or maybe you called it by a different name...did you ever see anyone play it when you were young?

 

[Kaila]

Aren't Jumping jacks and Playing Jacks, 2 very different activities?

 

[hollydolly]

...do you have anyone called Jack in your family?

 

[Rosemarie]

No, did you know that most countries have a version of the name John?

 

[Kaila]

Did you know that some people called Jack or Jake, it was short nickname for Jacob?

 

[Rosemarie]

Yes, and am I right in thinking that James comes from the same source?

 

[mike4lorie]

How did all this come from Jumping Jacks?

 

[hollydolly]

Did you know elephants can't jump ?
