COLD DARK ROOM

do you still aluminium or have you converted to aluminum?

Aluminium! When I was a student I worked in an aluminium factory (Alcan) during my holidays.
I packed aluminium circles into crates. They were sent all over the world.

Is it a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down?

Here in Finland lots of people have high cholesterol and one popular product is cholesterol lowering margarine.

Hum, Cathy, I frequently see Shingles Vaccine ads and the Pneumococcal ads on the TV also, along with the slew of other drug ad's. I just hope things get easier for you soon.

I see them too and probably had a premonition to get it done. However one of those ads that shows a woman with the shingles on her face next to her eye doesn't say she could lose her eyesight in that eye. I think they should come right out and say it. This is how dangerous this virus can be. It just depends on where it decides to attack. I do think I'm starting to recover but so far I still have hearing loss.I won't be devastated about that I'll just be glad to be through the rest of the crap which is way worse.

I know I would love it too especially if it is made with black walnuts. I like English walnuts but my favorite is the black walnuts. And coffee takes it over the top.yummy

Since Ray and I are friends I am wondering if it's been long enough to laugh at you for hitting yourself with a hammer. I am SO glad I wasn't standing there or the laughing would have started then....you know, after I make sure that you aren't dead and all. LMAO

Years ago I ran a division here in the US for Atkins, a UK based firm. Steve Lee was one of the operatives and he used to educate me each morning with a "British word of the day"
Lorry-truck
bonnet- car or truck hood
biscuits-cookies
boot- car trunk
randy- Doh!

I've been playing with the kayaks this week. I mounted those underwater toys of mine onto each of our kayaks. Mark would be so jealous! LOL It's actually been really nice to cruise so quietly into the reeds and shorelines of our creek. I think Kerry likes her setup! "The laugh" says it all! LOL

Chestertown is an historic town with a nice public waterfront so we've been playing with the idea of seeing if we can make it under power. It's about 2 miles or so, maybe a little less from our creek beach to the Chestertown bridge but I'm not good at judging distance on the water. They should make it both ways but out on the river they might be sapped by the strong currents. I guess in a pinch, we could paddle!

What the heck is Doh

What were the circles used for?

Doh, is what Homer Simpson says when he does something stupid and gets caught...

I guess that's how I'm missing out on all the latest American English language somehow. I'll have to watch and get my education.

My first house had black walnut trees on the property. I decided to husk a bunch of them when the nuts fell to the ground. I husked them without gloves on. My hands were stained for over a week. I was told to throw them on my dirt driveway and run them over with the car.

Good afternoon everyone!

Unfortunately I could hear the neighbours last and it seems that the neighbour that moved out on the 1st August was another neighbour in another flat. Myself and other neighbours are still trying to get the noisy neighbours out and the landlords want them out but they haven't got a place to move into. Some people have been told that they could be out at Xmas and others in October. I will believe it when I see it but at least I'm not on my own
