Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

Hi Chia
Question 1

Liquid
Solid

Kelly

so_P_bubble

I learned about the Ha ha in one of Agatha Christie's book.  At too at the time had to go and check what it was.

Kelly

Still none the wiser on what a Ha Ha is

Kelly

JaneS

An example of a HA HA is a retaining wall.  It's landscaping that does not interfere with the view.  It goes down and allows the viewer to see easily beyond it.

Andie

according to a Crossword puzzler, a Ha Ha is a sunken fence.

so_P_bubble

It is a wall on one side, with a  deep ditch or trench on the other side.  Its purpose was to separate formal garden from fields or pastures, so the animals could not cross over. Also it would not obstruct the view as Jane said.

Chia
