    Isn’t it called Christmas cake or fruit cake here in Canada??

    Doesn't that rather look like a fruit cake to me?

    Might the difference be a steamed pudding versus a baked cake?

    Isn’t funny how there can be so many different words for the same thing?

    Isn't it quite frankly amazing this international forum doesn't have more misunderstandings based upon word selection than we currently experience?

    In Australia anyway, aren't Christmas pudding and Christmas cake not quite the same thing?

    isnt my avatar an example of pudding?

    Is it odd that I like Christmas, pudding and cake, but I don't like Christmas Pudding nor Christmas Cake?

    Would you like it in a box? Would you like it with a fox?

    Can I just get a lot of milk chocolate? Maybe some for myself and some for the shelf?

    Who knew we had poets in this this thread??

    Do they have a touch of the poet in them? Or are they just "touched"?

    Is this such a high brow joke that it went completely over my head, @nossmf ?

    Would it help your understanding if I said the TV show character I'm quoting was questioning the mental sanity of his coworker?

    Would it help you understand my lack of understanding if I told you I never recall quotes from any TV show or movie I’ve ever watched? Isn’t there some kind of saying that describes my watching a movie/show in that it goes in one ear and out the other? Doesn’t it make watching it a second time just as entertaining as the first time for me though?

    Do you perhaps know my wife, since that description applies equally to her as well? Do I not have to sometimes grit my teeth from watching the same series for the fifth time, since my memory recalls all but the smallest detail of every episode, whereas she's getting to enjoy it all again for the "first time?"

    Does your wife cry over the tear jerkers 5 times over as well?

    Does anyone have suggestions for how I should spend these next two weeks of free time I have? Doesn't my next booked job start August 1st?

    Am I weird for crying when I see other people cry— even if that person happens to be acting on TV, @dekowalewski ?

    Doesn't that lead me to conclude you must be very empathetic?

    Does making conclusions across the internet on somebody you've never met make you psychic?

    What would you conclude from knowing that I can’t (and don’t want to) watch things like boxing/wrestling (and even some “fail” videos) because it hurts me to watch others get hurt?

    Do you sit down like my mother for a professional football game, and say out loud, "I just hope players on both side have fun?"

    Is it offensive to think someone might be empathetic?

    Is empathy even a thing anymore?

    Isn’t it sad that you’re having to ask that question, @dekowalewski ? Yet, isn’t it ironic that very question stirs up empathy within me? Who hurt you so bad to make you ask that question?

    Would you believe I got into watching college football some years ago, but still cringe when I see some of the tackles?

    Was being offensive, or feeling offended, certainly NOT my intent? Haven't I been told multiple times how effective use of emojis would help clarify the tenor of my posts? 🤐

    As far as cringing watching tackles, don't macho grown men also cringe when watching certain hits, though possibly for a different reason? Are we not envisioning ourselves being the ones on the receiving end of such hits, imagining quite clearly how we ourselves would feel? Does that qualify as being empathetic?

    Isn’t that practically the definition of empathetic??

    Wouldn’t commenting without emojis be like having to talk with my hands tied behind my back? :D Am I the only one who makes the face of the emoji I’m looking for until I find it as if that somehow helps?
