i've so enjoyed my conversations with the folks from the uk and australia on here.
i'm enchanted by their darling expressions, and different banter than we have in the us.
but i've always noticed one thing.
I watch alot of BBC because I totally identify with their sense of humour.. hehehe. I love "Keeping Up Appearances"
Kepping Up Appearances is not funny; it is tedious and embarrassing. Coupling is funny. Never Mind the Buzzcocks is hysterical, but I don't know if you get that on BBC America.

Eraser = Rubber

Chips = Crisps
are you of the mind that all men and all women are basically the same?
you know---all men just have one thing on their mind or all women are just users?
there's so much stereotyping when it comes to males and females...typical man, typical woman.
I will answer the question:
Are you of the mind that all men and all women are basically the same? You know---all men just have one thing on their mind or all women are just users? There's so much stereotyping when it comes to males and females...TYPICAL man, Typical woman. Do you think negatively or positively toward the opposite sex?
By reference to my comment on a similar thread here.
I am amazed by people who can claim that they get on better with men or love women. Really?? You have met them all? You know them all well enough to decide that? They are all the same? In my opinion, any blanket statement regarding one gender is negative, even if it appears to be positive, by its implication that a whole section of the population can be neatly stuffed into one pigeon-hole. I am not the same as my mother, or my sister-in-law, or the woman who lives next door. How can you possibly judge whether you "love" me, or if you'd rather chat or be friends with me or my husband on the basis of gender? In case I haven't made myself clear, NO, I don't think all men or all women are the same. And another thing! How long would any of us get away with comments about the general qualities, shortcomings, virtues or faults of say, Mexicans, Pakistanis, Maoris, Greeks or Chinese? Of course, its OK to make insulting generalisations about English people, but thats another rant altogether.............
if you'd be interested in donating $us10.00 or anything at all to a campaign fund for vicki please say so here.
this will help determine how strongly we can offer vicki support.. i'll start it off.
i'm willing to donate $us10.00 to the fund.. thanks.. dansk
I will be pleased to help when a fund is set up.
the jws always give a lengthly explanation as to why they don't celebrate christmas or birthdays, and then always add the final statement "besides, we give gifts throughout the year!".
yeah, right!
okay, lets get an unofficial count of all the people who actually did get gifts on other days of the year.
My parents gave me gifts throughout the year, and, yes, they were beautifully wrapped by my dad.
.
ayn rand is mine.
just wondering so i can find a new book or books to read *smiles*.
Kate Atkinson, Margaret Atwood.
I also recently read The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold and The Life of Pi by Yann Martel, both excellent.
i took a specialised law exam yesterday, and i should really have been revising hard this past month, but because of what happened with my dad, i didn't.
even though i won't get the results till next week i know that i have failed , and the company that i work have never had anyone fail this exam before.
so i am a bit cheesed off.
(((((CAS)))))
A woman walks into a bar, says "Barman, I'd like a double entendre, please."
So he gave her one!
A man walks in to a bar, say "OOWWW!!!"
It was an iron bar.
A man with a crocodile on a lead walks into a bar, says "Barman, do you serve Jehovah's Witnesses?"
Barman ays, "Yes sir, we serve anyone."
Man says, "Great, I'll have a pint of mild, and a Jehovah's Witness for the crocodile!"
i ask this because recently physio and i decided to leave everything to our two boys - which meant cutting out our girls completely.. why?
well, we realised that if we both died (e.g.
car accident) all four children would be entitled to our estate.
If you have children who are still minors, and JW family, it is also worth considering what would happen to your children should the worst happen to both parents. Would you want JW grandparents to have legal guardianship of your children?
Another issue you can specify in your will.
okay, here's my personal top 10, in no particular order:
george carlin
robin williams
i work at an rv dealer, so i get to rent them for free.
it's my first trip in a motorhome!
i am so excited.
Don't you need a tent to go camping?
Have fun anyway!
.
but could foresee the future and saw that your body was thrown into the woods to rot, would it bother you?
Welcome FancyPants!! What brought you here? This is a unique initial post.
I do want to be cremated, but failing that I think I'd rather be thrown in the woods than stuck in a box underground.
I carry an organ donor card, and if I saw that anything from my body that could have been used to help someone else had not been used, I would be distressed. Once anything of use has been harvested, my mortal remains are going back into the carbon cycle one way or another.
