Wow, these fishes are of an absolute beauty!

And your new one is even more so.

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer

Hmmm apparently suspenders means some sort of ladies undergarment across the pond(s)!!!

Here they are the contraption that go over your shoulders and clip to your pants!

a reply to: JinMI

think suspenders ... hosiery ... garter belts

I am the wrong person to ask about such kind of morality. If a loved one is in need, your only thoughts should be about saving him, not about the abstract and philosophical aspects of organ donations.

Honestly, if I pass away, you may have anything you wish from my body, especially if it's to save a loved one.

I've already signed my organ donation card in any instances.

Perhaps I could start decorating the Shed while everyone is away... Hm, where could I hang the One Ring?

Ohhh that's where IT is. How did you find it?

Um, Bilbo gave it to me, in exchange for the Arkenstone. Best bargain ever.

That guy is great for impromptu BBQ's, and putting things in order. Perhaps he mistook your cooking for brewing up some new "Species"

New species, eh? I believe he and Darwin might have some interesting conversations.

Ok, I admit it

I am a Ring fan, not the movies so much though. So I couldn't help my self, you put out the bait.

I've tried reading the LotR novels, but I got confused halfway through. I did read the whole of the Hobbit, though.

Oh, very nice Avatar BTW

Thanks!

John, those videos showed the two kinds of bettas that I have. The colors of mine are different, but just gorgeous!

OMG, the suspender discussion in here cracked me up! It's funny how we all speak English yet the words have different meanings in different Countries. LOL

I have a wedding to go to later today.

Hello to everyone! I am barely awake so bear with me.

Good day everyone

A letter to my dad to allow you to know how I feel today.

Dad,

Thank you so much for leaving the front door open this morning. One of my two cats is prone to get outside and he shouldn't. I chased him around the house while holding a cup of coffee. I finally picked him up to put him in my room only for him to give me and eight inch scratch on my lower arm.

Dad, of course since you have poor memory you much have forgotten that I have had a heart attack this year. You threatened to get rid of my cats unless I moved some heavy boxes. As there is no arguing since your brain sees only things your way I was forced to honor your demand. The outside boxes (my belongings) are, in part, in the trunk of one of the cars and the rest throw away. The boxes from by the front door are now sitting on my bed until I have the strength to put them in a more practical place.

Your unfortunate son.

Welcome back to the dragon shed. Nice to see that you are back.

You have to take control of your life and stand up to your Father. A lot I want to say, but not sure what to say right now. Still trying to wake up. Wasn't someone trying to help you find an easy job or get disability or something? You have a counselor, what does he or she advise?

Yeah - they hold up the ladies stockings... although that probably means something different in the US too!

Here they are the contraption that go over your shoulders and clip to your pants!

Ahhh, we call them "Braces" and they clip onto our trousers (our pants are our underwear which would be under our trousers!!)
I'm quite glad now that I didn't order any clothes from a US supplier online..... THAT could have gone BADLY wrong!!!!

There are LOADS of different meanings between English and US English... some are quite funny.
e.g. A Fag in the UK is just a cigarette! The Trunk is the Boot (of a car) etc.
US uses different nicknames and abbreviations from the UK too... (Some I have to admit... I really dislike!!)
Sammich?? bleuch, it's a Sandwich damnit! LOL or here in Scotland we call it a "Piece" ROFL Yup.... as in "I think I'll just have a Piece'n'Cheese for lunch." Weird huh?
Jello is Jelly? or is it Jam?
Butt is Bum (or worse!!!)
Sidewalk, Pavement... I'm sure there are LOADS more? Vive la difference!

Draw?? Drawer!

a reply to: Night Star

Gordi, yes the word differences are comical. Enjoy your dinner. Leaving around 3, 3:30.

Message sent in reply to your message.

a reply to: LookingForABetterLife

I'm chuckling because when other people do that in here, I always wonder what they're talking about. LOL Going now to read it.

More messages on it's way to you Night Start.

a reply to: LookingForABetterLife

You need an army of dragons! LOL

Leaving soon.

Love you all!
