Imagining myself in medieval times now.
Sometimes do that too. Designed a castle in my head once; took about three years.

 Jack has awesome focus!  I would love to travel back in time to visit medieval
 England, as long as I could have an anti-plague vaccination first!  :viking:

It's just a sleep thing. Have done several different structures. Am very spoiled and wouldn't really want to live in that time.

Loo, it is suggested stems from the French warning "Gardez l'eau" shouted
before emptying the contents of a chamber pot out of a window.Gardi loo was
a shout from an upper window in old London that a person was about to throw
"slops or night soil" out of the window.
French for "guard yourself from the waters"

That's what it said, but not from a reliable source or anything. It also said it could be an urban legend. Didn't really feel like looking up the etymology of the word loo to make sure though.

If i could peg my nose i would love to go back in time.  Just for a visit.  Maybe the Elizabethan period.

I wouldn't want to be a peasant though.  Would love to prance around in one of those huge dresses,  and go to a real ball....i am sounding like cinderella.

It would be cool though,  just for a day.

I was about to say "gardeloo" but you found it first.

I read the same thing in a choose-your-own-adventure book when I was a kid.  8)

I wish to have it known that I appreciated your previous avatar more.

I thought maybe it was taking up too much bandwidth  :zoinks:

Not sure but I'll be happy to look into it.  :zoinks:
