I do too!!! Except My WiFi sucks so I’m constantly watching the loading symbol.. perks of living in the sticks [emoji848]. I have found that the CDR helps me get through it and sometimes I look down and I’ve burned a few extra calories[emoji16]
Nothing like taking your mind off actually doing exercise. Makes it so much more fun.

We do have a twiddling thumbs expression - it's actually a real activity, just not a useful one for much of anything except passing time... I guess passing time is better than passing gas? Unless we're talking about fuel? ;) :rolleyes:
But isn't it burning gas when referring to fuel. Although with teenage boys they may not be referring to fuel either.

Good Mornooning all.
Back from our function. It was fun. Good company, lots of drinking and laughing and lots of dancing. Now we are back and I am lying in bed winding down and listening to The sound of silence by disturbed on you tube. I love this version of the song. I actually think it is better than the original version. And I don't think that that happens often.

Don’t understand this completely, but this reminded me of one of the most bizarre conversations in my life.

I was frequenting a Turkish restaurant in Queens, NY.
After seeing me a few times, the waitress: “Excuse me, are you Bulgarian?”
Me: “No, I am Russian.”
The waitress: “Oh, I thought you looked German.”

—————

I still don’t know what that was! [emoji85][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

We were in restaurant on the Scottish island of Orkney when a Japanese lady at the next table asked us where we were from.

We replied “London” (It’s easier to explain)

She and her non-English speaking husband were surprised.

Apparently we look Swedish or German. “You are so tall she said to me” (I’m 5’10”)
