New Want To Play A Word Game

cool! When do we start?

Who wants to steer the rental car?  Red will have weepy tears of joy, my eyesight's gone to pot....2x or curve...anybody else???  Maybe just hire a Frenchman & make him whisper sweet nothings to us...ahhhh.

I can only say one thing in French, which is "je ne parle pas Francais" ("I don't speak French")! I think that rules me out as the driver too. At least they drive on the same side of the road in France (I think). I never even tried driving the year I went to college in England because of the left-side issue. I was afraid if I ever got in a situation where quick evasive action was required, I would "zig when I should have zagged" and make matters worse. So let's hire a limo and a chauffeur and hit the town. Besides, who knows if we could even pass the driver's tests to get our licenses in France?

It takes smarts & dedication to attend school in a "foreign" country...does it count as a foreign country when they speak English .  Anyhoo...want to hear what you loved the most!

@2TA, heeeheee it was a "cool" experience. I went from the mild climate of the SF Bay Area to a much cooler climate closer to that of where I live now in the Pacific NW, and where most of the buildings aren't central heated. I was "freezing to death" almost the whole school year! Yes, England counts as a foreign country. I think the main thing I learned in England is that many Americans have no idea how cushy we have it here, even compared to other economically developed countries.

One thing I really liked is that England is OLD. I went to the University of Bath, which is a relatively new university, but it is just outside the city of Bath, which was a hot springs resort in Roman times and also the 18th Century. There are many buildings in the city, for example  the famous Royal Crescent, which are older than the United States, and not only are they still there, they are still posh addresses. That isn't the oldest either. There is an Abbey which I think survives since Medieval times, and the ruins of the Roman town were rediscovered in the 18th Century (I think) by a house falling into them while it was being rebuilt. But now that I have said all that I don't know how to get to my new word, which is skate.

I agree Red. Way too early for me (2:30 am). Be back later!

I'll go to Australia with you, Red.  And I'll even buy a liter of Foster's Lager beer for us to drink. I really want to see a kangaroo while we are here!

Red...have you tried deep fried turkey?   Me neither!

Let's get the barbecue fired up for some turkey! Just as soon as the weather cools off a bit.

oh, not here. We're going thru a heat wave, over 100*, hot winds yesterday. Feels like we've been baked and fried. 

I will also be fighting that stupid DRAFT that comes in around my living room window. Booooo.

I have a huge crate of half finished crafts from last winter still. (I was going to note that after a winter of hibernating we'd also need to find an efficient way to get the farts out of our house, but I figured that might be politically incorrect, so I didn't. Do you suppose bears have that problem?).

I agree. Although I have been exercising more, I still refuse to use the STAIR Master. So there. * crosses arms and says harrumph*

I certainly am!!!! Great idea! I've always wanted to see the Rockies by train. So long as nobody RAINS on our parade.

if that lady doesn't stop the rants, let's pants her! Just kidding!

BTW, anyone heard from Curveball lately? Going beyond concerned.....
