I know your DIS name, I've seen several of your posts. But don't ask me to remember what they were!

And plenty of good German "Aryans" (the "typically German" race that Hitler was trying to promote) were killed as well for speaking out against the Third Reich, for hiding or associating with Jews etc. It's difficult to say what any of us would have done if we were Aryans in Germany back...

:grouphug: Happy Birthday Ryan - you are very much loved.

Here are some things that we do that we learned from my parents: - we believe firmly in "say what you mean and mean what you say". Follow through is very important, and we never make idle threats. The kids have always known that if I say something, I mean it, and I will follow through. -...

It's exactly the same here. I sometimes feel that I am not doing as good a job as my parents did too. But my mom tells me she's proud of me and that I have great kids, so maybe I am doing OK! I don't have as much patience as they did, and I yell sometimes (they NEVER did), so I guess that's what...

My parents adore my DH - they think of him as a son, and there isn't anything they wouldn't do to help him. They think he drinks a little too much sometimes (and he does, that's the truth - but it's not often, and it's usually when he's been out fishing with guys who really like their liquor...

Kids go to school from 8.30 until 2.30 every day from age 4 here, and it's fine. At my kids' school the reception kids (age 4-5) aren't allowed to do any after school activities through the school, and if their birthday is between April and August (i.e. they are only just 4 when school starts in...

LOL all of those and more ...... Casablanca (though saw parts of it) Gone with the Wind It's a Wonderful Life Godfather Bambi Rocky Horror Picture Show Citizen Cane all the Star Wars sequels Ben Hur English Patient (tried to read the book, but had to skip a lot LOL) There are...

We don't have "winter" here, but anytime I go to a wintery place I like to ice skate! What's your favourite summer activity?

No AAA here, half the time I forget to charge my phone, and DH travels a lot! :rotfl: I'll be in a lot of trouble if I don't figure out how to deal with flat tires on this van I now have!

Hey, if anyone's ever coming this way, make sure to PM me! It would be fun to meet up with DISers!

[slipping on my sunglasses].... that is BRIGHT! I try to avoid the beach in the middle of the day when it's so bright! This is the sea we'll be swimming in on Sunday - unfortunately I'm at work and can't be there now ... plus, it's RAINING!!:

I'd love to be curled up in bed with a good book, and the kids out of the house! :rotfl:

One afternoon, several years ago, I changed all 4 of my tires myself - I'd just bought 2 new ones and I wanted to change the positions of the 2 old ones that I was leaving on. Back then I had a normal car - now I have a great big van! I'm not even sure where everything is on this van, and I...

Can you imagine .... our grocery store offers this service FREE - via internet or fax. Do I use it? NO! Why? I like to choose my own fruit and veggies, I like to look at expiry dates, I like to read ingredient lists on new things ... i.e. I like to be there at the supermarket! Yes, it's a pain...

OK, here are some recipes that look similar to the martinis I liked: Cosmopolitan Cocktail (this is well known - you should definitely have this one): 1 1/4 ounces Absolut Citron vodka (about 2 1/2 tablespoons) 1/4 ounce Rose's lime juice (about 3/4 tablespoon) 1/4 ounce triple sec or...

I had 3 yummy kinds of martini lately, but I couldn't tell you how to make them! One was a cosmo, one was made with lychees, and one had pineapple and something else in it. If I can find them on Google, or if I can find the martini menu I brought home, I'll post again!

I could live with not telling the mom. If I felt compelled to tell her though, I'd start the conversation on a positive note i.e. I'd find a way to tell her what he did right before I told her what he did wrong. I'd approach it more along the lines of "I am so impressed with the maturity...

Feels like ripping that upper tooth right out of her head!!!!

:rotfl: I just wanted to say .... I think it's amazing how you can find photos of just about anything in such a short space of time! You must be a Google pro with high speed internet!
