Good Morning!

@MDT Yep, but my son had heard of Zizek first.

@Owlunar No the link was not really by a bush philosopher, but after hearing Bob Maguire on the radio (old broadcast) I though of it as a way to keep @TAB zie in zee conversation.

I never studied Marshall MacLuhan... but all grist for Apple's ever turning mill ...

Now theres amental picture @Owlunar good luck

Im not really into philosophers tbh @Appleblossom @MDT

I guessed that Mr Flippant lol

@TAB but did not want you to feel left out ... thats prob why it was an extra mental stretch ...lol

@MDT

Not heard of both those authors but looking at them now ... interesting ... my undergrad was full of post modernism ...

I do not read too many novels these days. Over 1000 pages ... nah ... cos one of my complaints when I was bookclub co-ordinator .... was they could have made it shorter. lol

Wow can you imagine it ... 2 books published in 2004 with almost the same title.

Thanks for telling me about them Hams ... always interested in good literature ... even if I have to protect my sore weary eyes ... and read less these days.

Cheers mate

Was in Shakespeare Society for a while ... @MDT I guess Wallace's novel would have been A Failed Entertainment for me ... lol

@Appleblossom Marshall MacLuhan was quite interesting. I have heard other people dialoguing about him in years gone by, particularly an astrologer I follow who discusses world events and philosophies. If you can watch old Marshall MacLuhan interviews on you tube you will be well rewarded. He was a bit of a modern prophet for todays times we live in. The concept of the global village for instance. But he was quite an adept and could see through the lens of a beleaguered society being able to deconstruct what he saw

Hi @tyme hope you had a great day. Mine was great, got out and walked with a friend, had some lunch and visited a few op-shops 💜💕💜.

Did you buy anything @Former-Member any bargains at the op shops? I hope you got some nice things. I use online salvosstores these days as I don't have to trawl through an entire shop trying to find a size that fits in clothing etc I got a puffer jacket for winter on the cheap a week ago. Its well constructed and will last. My other puffer jacket had a zip that broke and dont think it was worth taking to a seamstress to have it repaired

Good afternoon @Former-Member. My goodness it's late. I'm having a PJ day, only just picked up my phone.

I did buy something at work on Friday. A teddy top, warm and fluffy but nothing yesterday.

I hate it when zippers break. They should definitely make them more substantial.

We couldn't get through winter in Melbourne without a puffer jacket. I have one too. It's like they have become a compulsory item.

I didn't even know there was a salvosstores on line. Can't wait to check it out. What a time saver.

Hi @Former-Member looked at the salvosstores on line. Very impressed. A bit more pricey than Vinnie's where I volunteer.

Our prices are $4, $6 and $9 all dependent on quality.

Occasionally we have more expensive items - individually marked.
