And after fiddling with the title I wanted and kept getting refused, I am indeed glad it is Friday.



I have a very busy Friday, and a meal out with a friend this evening,and I am very very glad it is Friday. I look forward to a glass of wine with my meal.

I posted that, after being refused the subject title in red, purple, and all colours, and not double, and not.... and not..... [I could do with the wine NOW :-)]
And I kept thinking will Rusty, someone else post a new thread at the same time.
Whew! Only mine! I hung back for a while and then thought, just do it, Jenni. And so I did.

When in doubt, do what feels the nicest, Jenni. Today is International Mother Language Day. My mother's language was always pretty mild. Maybe that's not what they had in mind. I wonder how many different mother languages are represented on BT? Do we count American as different from English?

Seem to be getting pretty regular wave action this morning--thought it was just a boat wake the first time.

I think it most definitely is!!!

Fanny pack for example causes me great mirth. We say bum bag, and would not say 'fanny' much, especially in company. :-)

So I guess Fanny is not a popular name over there (actually not that common anymore over here, either). And of course you use all those extra bits of storage with "u"s thrown in here and there.

Good morning! I'm off to hang out with Dadz today - lunch and snow-peeping. It's so bright around here you need sunglasses.

Re: mother language - BB and I call Full Monty, Waking Ned Devine, Billy Elliot, and The Commitments all *Foreign Films*. Thank goodness you can run back the tape and listen over and over til you can make it out.

And I don't even want to tell you what I thought a *BUM BAG* was!

Hey ..is it too late to Hoodie Hoo?.... Sunny and warm today...but rain rain rain is coming....should melt all our snow though! going to get my small pox shot site checked today..oh what fun.....will be back in time for sunsets I hope....

Hiya, Meryl! Can't you just see her?? All the way from Roatan:

Hi guys and gals,

Having a great time here and taking lots of pictures. We'll be home on Sunday afternoon so I'll check in then. Just want to let you know I
was underwater at noon today but I did yell Hoodie Hoo!!!

Love and miss you all. Hugs and Kisses to Emma and Annie too.

Fredster!!!!

Hey, Big Boy...

kiss wav kisses.wav (34.4 k)

Come sail away...

Rusty I agree, I thought that a bum bag was what you got after an intestinal operation, a lift was something short people put in their shoes, a bonnet is what your plow mule wears and the boot is what you get when you don't do your job.

Hello Peeps I'm home. Gotta go shopping for some weekend groceries now though. I'll be back in a while.

Rusty, Thanks for posting Freddie's message. Hope she didn't take in too much water yelling her hoodie hoo.

Jenni, I am off to seek help immediately. LOL

morning everyone! bum bag, i just picture the bag hitting your bum as you are walking along...maybe that is how it got it's name! have fun with dad rusty! i loved waking ned divine and the committments! the one that michael and i had no clue what they were saying no matter how many times we rewound the tape was 'gosford park.' oh, and then you have the same language, but it is just pronounced different...like a "line cut" or a "lion cut"...or about...or aboot (if you be from the canadian way!)

ok, i see a crab claw on the left, and the body on the right...


here is a sunset i snapped drivng home last night...

sorry about the spelling, still early here...the island in the background is catalina island.

Oh, dang darn computer kicked me off whilst uploading. ( Now is that UK, US, or french language)

Cynde, I suggest you seek some advice from Jenni.

annie, you can't see it? just turned on the news and there is a fire in a refinery plant in staton island new york...wonder if our new york and new jersey folks will check in and fill us in on what is happening...

Cynde, I didn't want to admit seeing it, but I do see it. Do you think we should go see Jenni together. LOL Hope they get that fire under control, and that there aren't too many casualties. Annie B.

that refinery fire just boosted crude oil 1.27 a barrel or something

This seems to be a day for disaster news. Night Club fire last night in Rhode Island has killed at least 60, and the toll is rising.

Cyber Seven, I've decide to just post the Lastest Island distruction news on the KRALENDIJK DISTROYED rather than the 'thief thread' so more people can access it. It is along way down there.
A refinery fire, just when I heard that the fuel prices were starting down.

Hi folks,

I'm aboot today!!!

I'm finding the Google search "news" tab to be really handy these days. Quite the internet news media vacuum cleaner! Almost as good as BillBot.

Bill

bill, be carefull while you are aboot today he he...reminds me of the movie "strange brew." My brother lives in minnesotta, and my niece developed quite the fargo accent within about 3 months! oh, and my stepson and his best friend go "fishing in canada" in the middle of the culdesac...they throw a bunch of clothes in the street and then fish them out (well, i don't let my stepson use his clothes)...anyway, they watched a show on espn called "fishing in canada" and were just thrilled with the accent!

whard' everyone go???

friday funny...

The Melting Princess

I'm here and tickled pink to be at work. One more hour to wogga wogga time. Caught a pair of Eagles on the Eagle cam, thought I might see some Eagle love. It is that time of year you know, sounds like my love life once a year rather I need it or not (only kidding Sue, like you'll read this).

Very Cute. LOL.

Loved the melting princess tale. I knew that!!

Cecil - What do you do with the egg?

Everybody out enjoying the spring weather - right?

Me too - Shovelled a path across the deck so the cat could get some fresh air...... Good fun is tough to find this time of year. Oh well, it will soon be socks-optional season again ;-)

Bill

Bill, hopefully it will hatch into a chick. The world can always use some more chicks.

cecil...lol (on the sue thing)...like michael will ever read the stuff i post!

Does anyone remember the sock that grew from the tree last year. Well I don't know what this is, but Grendel sure finds it interesting. Annie B.

Just think, Jenni. here in the US we are so advanced that every man,woman, and child has their own fanny.

Well, seb, over here, only a woman can have a fanny [and I am blushing as I type it]

Annie, how did you put that white square around the thingy in the tree? love to you [and Emma]while I am here

thanks, bluetang, for the melting princess, which made me laugh.

Cynde, want me to pop over for a few sessions?

Yes Jenni, Brit pals have been convulsed with laughter before concerning this lingo.
