  ONE more....

  The Brits and just about everyone else uses the PAL system, and the good ole USA uses NTSC. That is what is broadcast on your television. We just changed to High Definition, but still not as high Def as PAL....kind of like inches vs the centimeters.

  We're never going to get it.

  I've heard some pretty funny swearing from Brits. One of the words was already mentioned, but another funny is bullocks. Sounds like our Bullshixxt.

  Brits have produced the best music in most cases.

  One of my favorite scenes in a movie between Brits and typical Americans: In its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963) with Terry Thomas and Sid Caesar and the ensuing fist fight. You can't help but laugh at our differences and common backgrounds at the same time!!!

  I'm trying to find it on yoUtube.....

  Hey there Brits,

  There was a Mason Dixon line in the United States: the quick snippet from Wikipedia: the Mason-Dixon Line symbolizes a cultural boundary between the Northern United States and the Southern United States (Dixie).

  To the North were the Yankees, or Yanks to the south were the Scalawags, Rednecks, or Confederates. Every term for both areas considered derogatory.

  From your side of the pond, the word Fag for a cig......I'm not going there.

  A Cue, and the Lu, is considered waiting in line and the bathroom here. I don't know how to spell your version.

  When you say you are on a Holiday, to us that means you have a paid day off recognized by your employer and the government. We call it a vacation when you get extended time off.

  I've heard you have squatter's rights in England. No such thing here.

  Nathan,

  My 14 year old cat loves dum dog left overs. She shouts if the dog bowl gets cleaned up by the dummy dog.

  what are the standard jw objections to thanksgiving?

  do they claim there is any kind of a scriptural basis for condemning it?

  i plan on asking someone about this and i'm curious what types of reasoning they might try to throw at me.

  The standard objection I always heard was "The world was celebrating". But......, you can buy a Turkey, (cause they're on sale), and have everyone over, (because everyone is on vacation) but do it on Friday. Gravy, stuffing and cranberries are ok too, along with pumpkin pie and whipped cream.

  This was the standard through 19 hundred and 60, 70, 80, .....after that ....started my own dinners on Thursday. Turkey is on sale dont cha know!!!!

  What is it with men?...

  this is a responce to john does "what is it with women" post.

  i'd like to point out that men do even more irrating and inexplicable things than women.... 1) not wanting to ask for directions.

  2) getting a kick out of seeing people blown up in movies.

  I consider myself a semi specialist in this area.....

  I grew up in a house with 2 brothers and no sisters. So when I got married I was so looking forward to little girls...no dice...2 very big boys were my prize....and I absolutely adored them.

  There are a few things I do not understand.....

  How is it a man or son can make a room stink? I mean stink! It has to be repainted to get rid of that testostrone smell.

  Why is it a guy cannot carry a used towel or a pair of dirty underwear to the hamper....what is the friggen problem?

  Whether you realize it or not, many times that once used towel goes to the dryer and back for your use the next day. (Tee Hee Hee) I'm not wasting $15.00 worth of laundry soap because you can't hang up a towel to dry.

  I do want to thank all the fellas in my life for enjoying my cooking and house keeping. I know you miss me when I go away for a week and everything is a complete disaster including the poor dog, and the garbage is over flowing with fast food wrappers, and hasn't been taken out since I left.

  Thank you for taking care of me, killing spiders, handling heavy house repairs, and getting the car tires, battery, etc. replaced.
