Cam come back or I'll send the search dogs out to find you

I'm back. You can kennel the dogs...so nice to be missed I am a political junkie so I stayed up way to late watching the BREXIT returns. Got up early but I am dragging.

My first week of the summer having Fridays off. Too bad I have use my day off to clean the house..boooo.

Need to do some vacation planning as well. Can't believe how fast the summer is flying by. August will be here sooner than I would like. Hope everyone has a great day.

I watch news channels a lot
It keeps me thinking
And I watch the stock market all the time.....

Someday you won't be working and everyday will seem like a Friday to you

I went back to work briefly after my mom passed but only lasted one school session two years back
Best thing I did was to quit the job

Needed a break from responsibility
and added another cat to the household
Where to for vacation this year?
Whatever it is have fun with the family


You should know that housework is highly overrated
It will always be there so everyone should take a couple of weeks from it and take a vacation

 

[macraven]

Hey no one posted any funnies this morning or a day if the week notice


You never know if this thread is the one that others go to to see if it is a work day or weekend......

 

[schumigirl]

I call them hot

Loves me some hot jalapeños............hotter the better..........

I call them yummy!

Schumi, I had no idea you can't swim??

Happy Friday everyone.

Me too, love em...........yep, non swimmer here.......terrified of water.......did learn to swim once with a friend about 10 years ago, but stopped going then a year later went in water......went to swim and I had totally lost it. I'd love to swim confidently as DH and DS swim well, so I just fiffle faffle in the RPR pool.......I will go in and walk a little or hang onto edges and stretch out, but that's it........

Yep, my DH went downstairs to watch results come in around 4am.........now the fun begins! Hope you have a great Friday too.........housework is over rated..........

I know, I think my lack of sleep last few weeks has rendered me amiss in posting what day it is.........as a lady of leisure too I do need the reminder of what day it is myself some days............it's Friday right??? Must be wine night then............


Making myself lemon and ginger chicken stir fry tonight........they don't like lemony or ginger things so they're having something else??? Not sure yet, but may just order a pizza for them.

Oh, got a call from one of my cousins who said she may have a surprise for me on or before Monday?? She says it's a gift.........not sure what it could be and why.........wonder if she's after something..........lol......

Enjoy rest of your Friday..........

For Mac.
I don't really care what day of the week as I work all of them. Weekends are definitely not a down time for me because everyone is checking in. Makes trying to do things with friends fun...

I'm reminded of a joke; a man overheard two portly women speaking with an accent. He says "Excuse me, are you ladies from England?" They huff and say "Wales!" Man says "Oh I'm sorry...are you whales from England?"

 

[tinydancer09]

One of my roommates in college that I lived with all 3 years was born in Zimbabwe, but one of her parents was British and one was Greek. We had fun living together and definitely had a few language differences. My dad warned me about the whole fanny thing a long time ago. Also.. Beer is piss? He was a corporate business man and did some international stuff.

Anyways my the big ones I remember from my roommate:
Shopping cart is a trolley... To me it's a buggie
Stop light to her it's a robot to me it's a red light
Windshield to her was windscreen
Waterhouse was a hose pipe. when she asked me to bring her the hose pipe I pictured a piece of metal from the game clue and thought she wanted to murder someone.
There's plenty others I can't remember right now.
She would put milk in her tea which blew my southern mind. Those are two things we don't mix. She also wasn't scared of raw things or expiration dates but I have a feeling that's a her family thing. She had salmonella poisoning three times in her life... You'd think she'd learn.

I don't speak with her much anymore. After college she went back to the big ATL and we never really heard from her again. My other roommate that came in a year later I'm still very close with even though she's near ATL.

Did you get the whole biscuit / cookie vs Southend biscuit?

 

[schumigirl]

Never heard of a robot for a red light.........it's a red light over here too.

As for tea......iced tea or sweet tea is very different to things like breakfast tea which you do put milk in, some take it black of course........but, yes, different things.


Just finished my lemon chicken.......it was lush!!! Made it very gingery and added some spice too.......they don't like the smell of ginger at all........lol.......I adore it!!!

But, wine is chilling for later.......filled up our wine chiller fridge earlier..........I've heard its good for a sore throat......... Well it is fruit!

I don't think we ever really talked about that one. Are cookies biscuits? I was thinking crackers were considered biscuits to you. Which leads me to what do you call a biscuit... a buttermilk full of butter biscuit. Always wondered that about Canadian Bacon. If ham is bacon.. what do they call bacon?

 

[schumigirl]

Biscuits are cookies generally..........crackers are what I would have with cheese.......

Bacon is what we cook, like for a BLT, ham is usually what I would called liked a baked ham.

The biscuits you call biscuits like the cheese ones in Red Lobster are similar to what we would call a savoury scone.........

We also have sweet scones, that can have things like sultanas or dried cherries in them.......and usually we butter them and have them with a hot cup of tea. With milk. No sugar.

All take notes

Test later on the biscuit

Mmmm cheddar bay biscuits. I might have to make some tonight.
Our breakfast biscuits are quite a bit different than those though.
We also have scones but generally when I hear scone I think of a flaky pastry with some form of fruit-- blueberry, raspberry, etc.

mmm... carbs.

Test later on the biscuit

It will follow the questionnaire about what kind of grill you prefer and if you still have a gall bladder or not.
