Not a very good pic. Dharma can explain this better, but here's what I remember: Digestives are cookies (think plain cookies). They come in oatmeal or sugar flavors, as far as I know. Hobnobs are a brand of digestives--the good ones are the milk chocolate covered ones. They have an oatmeal cookie base. This description does not do them justice. I believe Mcvities is the company that makes Ho
Run, but run where? It's been sitting in my vocabulary now for a year and, alas, I have no use for it except to make me (and now you) laugh. *sigh* Hopefully I'll use it in a prize-winning essay someday. -A.
Human gnome project. This one came to my attention whilst perusing the slush pile at the publishing house I worked at for awhile. The guy was writing a very serious book on the Human Genome Project, and that typo was in his first sentence. If it were in some far back page of the manuscript, I could forgive it. But the first sentence of the fir
T-man, thanks for your work. I feel stupid about something: I figured out how to edit my favorites sidebar, but when I went back to add another link, the option has grown cyber legs and walked offscreen. Wasn't there supposed to be a little option you click on in the "my account" screen that let you edit the favorites? Has it moved or am I mixed up? Cheers. -A. edit: Never
BlueDev and Chip, you're right--it doesn't have to be tea. I didn't really like it until I was in England and got to experience the ambiance of High Tea. You can overcome the taste. Hell, if you learn to like beer, you can learn to like tea. Just figure out the cream and sugar proportions. As for coffee, it has the right idea--but in the U.S., at least, coffee has become commercialized a
Yeah, it's a real girly article. Sorry 'bout that. I'm don't have testicles, but I'd equate getting kicked in the nuts to cramps. H and I had a long discussion about it and in describing the pain of each, we agreed that it sounds close. -A.
I love tea. It's something I picked up from my brief stints in England. I love the teapot, sugar and cream, the cup--and mostly just sitting for a few minutes being contemplative. I love McVities Hobnobs and the caramel biscuits to munch or dip as I please. Sometimes I read a book. Sometimes I just look out the window. I never blog, and I never watch TV during teatime
Well, it says "exiled" next to his name when you click to check his stats. I think that means "banned." The metaphor of going through a graveyard shooting coffins comes to mind. *smile* Oh well.
Hah, mind if I ask in what ways? That is funny, made me laugh. When I was younger, I was quite a bit more hot under the collar. Didn't help that I went to a Christian boarding school with ridiculous rules like girls having to wear nylons and locking us into dorms at 8 p.m. I heard the "pick your battles
The irony of getting banned after leaving is sickening. For Pete's sake.
God, you sound like my dad. Must be an M.D. thing. I try to pick my fights. Sometimes I pick wrong. And sometimes I stay out when I shouldn't. But wise words. As always. -A. P.S. Regarding your subtitle, I'm quite good at Poker...just need to figure out how to apply that skill in real life.
Thanks, BlueDev. I'll sit here and wait for those blessings to show their kind faces. -A.
A woman's body should have a button that can be pushed-- Wait, no, strike that. Men and women should have buttons that can be simultaneously pushed, causing women to begin menstruating at the point when the couple is ready for a child. There is no reason to suffer from cramps, bleeding, PMS, and embarrassing social situations stemming from these
Bad things with close proximity: 1. Gaelen died driving home from mountain climbing. 2. H didn't get the Most Awesome Job in the World (and, to date, the only interview he's been confident about). 3. Glen, quadriplegic*, finally died. Only I wonder if this is good or bad. Good things with close proximity 1. I had an interview today. Only I won
Hey there. I told you I'd stop by and say hi. Guess it's bye, then. Cheers. -A.
One-sided? Funny, I've seen two. Dragging dirty laundry? You were the first to post it here. I'll agree that I don't see this from an admin point of view. It's not possible for me to be objective? Probably true, but it doesn't make me wrong. Stop? Okay. After this, I'm done. Not helping him in the least? I didn't know that standing up for something I believe in was wrong. And it sounds like you're threatening him based on what I've
Faith is bollocks. You're welcome to your opinion. In mine, it is very hard to keep faith, and so I have a great deal of admiration for those who do. -A.
Thanks for posting this. Breast cancer runs in our family, so I've done this walk several times. (Run? I don't think so!) I always thought it was great to see the one or two men in the pink ("survivor") t-shirts, the lone men who went through what is viewed so predominantly a woman's disease and a woman's cause. Cheers. And welcome to JU--hope you enjoy your stay. -An
Um, I sort of thought that was what faith is all about...? I don't think there are many who would disagree with you. Welcome to JU, by the way. Good luck.
in the heat of the moment, it has taken me some time, and I understand if you can't forgive me for that, but it was away out of line, and I am sorry from the bottom of my heart. I
Source, dear Wisefawn? Cheers. -Angloesque
Terpfan--funny, I used to hear that a lot from people. Heh, perhaps it's just that, in retrospect, everyone looks good when compared to Kerry....? (I'd put a smiley there but I've already used my daily quota.) -A.
I should probably add that I don't mean to make this sound personal, Karma. I, like others here, can be bad at choosing my words, so I would hope that no hard feelings come out of this. (Usually I shut up about this stuff, but every so often--perhaps my proximity to Mt. Saint Helens?--I know I need to be heard.) -A.
gives bra burning a whole new meaning.... Clever.
Karma, I prefer blog #13 beause it has context. Sorry, but Muggaz's threats seem pretty weak to me. "I will comment as I see fit." What's wrong with that? I blog as I see fit all the time. As for personal attacks, that's what I'm talking about. Neither one is immune, here, but you've chosen to demote him. And for what it's worth, I have been watching and reading about this issue for ages now. -A.
