not sure how broad this one is... but when I got here someone called their living room "the lounge".... I was wondering if I would be getting a cocktail : )

Original Post by gi-jane:

I like that!

BTW... I find 'bathroom' and 'restroom' rather sweetly coy US expressions.  "I'm going to the restroom" sounds like someone's heading for a nice lie down and spot of aromatherapy.... rather than taking a dump.

 

 

As an american transport now living in England.... funny you mention this... I can't seem to get used to people calling yes the bathroom/restroom/ladies room the TOILET... just sounds so dirty to me! HAHAHA

Loo is cute I can dig it... but toilet yuck!

The last few weeks they reran the old tv movie North & South in all it's cheesiness.. LOVED it.. reminded me of my childhood watching it with my Mom when it first aired.... My son watched it with me this time... also loved him in the Outsiders.... RIP.

I could have sworn I saw Donnie outside the Dominion theatre in London 2 days ago..... he was standing beside one of those bicycle trolley thingies trying to get people to take a ride.... seriously it could have been his identical twin.. I pointed him out and my friend spit out his drink... anyway yeah...

So this reminds me of one of my finer moments....

true story..... 2 weeks after getting my licence...

I had just left a friends house and pulled into a drive way to turn around... WELL at the same time I reached for my sunglasses and they fell to the floor.... getting all confused ( haha), instead of putting it into reverse and backing out.... I uhmmm still in "drive" drove into the corner of the garage and it crumbled on top of my car :)

Yeah.... so of course out comes a 6'5 man in his underwear screaming.... who I soon find out is a cop....  I have never freaked out so bad in my life... hyperventilating... crying the kind of cry where you have snot running all over your face, wasn't pretty. The cop ended up feeling sorry for me and hugging me.... saying it's going to be alright. People were driving by taking phone pics.... The poor guys cruiser and wife's car was trapped in the garage for three days....

It reminded me of some youtube video about bad women drivers....

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind ?

Way out in the water
See it swimmin?

I was swimmin' in the Caribbean

Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin' to talk to me, coy koi.

Where is my mind ?

First of all, man that sucks! I know all about some broken bones-not fun Frown I would probably start by talking to management.... determine your next move based on their response.... I would think that they should be responsible for keeping the walkways clear for the tenants. ( not sure... but makes sense to me)

Eff them, I'd be pissed too stuck home with a broken arm... even if it weren't their fault.... I'd make it their fault damn it Yell

Have another drink and drive yourself home.
I hope there's ice on all the roads.
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt,
and again when your head goes through the windshield

You feed the beast I have within me
You wave the red flag, baby you make it run run run
Standing on the sidelines, waving and grinning
You fondle my trigger, then you blame my gun
And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists
I never did anything to you, man
But no matter what I try
Youll beat me with your bitter lies
So call me crazy, hold me down
Make me cry; get off now, baby-
It wont be long till youll be
Lying limp in your own hand

I used to spend my nights out
In a bar room
Liquor was the only love I'd known
But you rescued me from reaching for the bottom
Brought me back from being too far gone
You're as smooth as Tennesee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of Brandy
And I stay stoned on your love all the time
I looked for love
In all the same old places
Found the bottom of the bottle's
Always dry
But when you poured out your heart
I didn't waste it
Cause there's nothing like your love
To get me high
You're as smooth as Tennesee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of Brandy
And I stay stoned on your love all the time
I stay stoned on your love all the time

I'm almost 5'10 and most of the men I have been with were either my height or shorter...... I've noticed that most of the super tall guys are usually with short women... and the shorter guys are with women my height or taller... ( I know I am generalizing but sure seems that way to me....)

My current bf is a little over 6' and I LOVE it. Taller is definitely my "ideal" but to me height really isn't all that important *shrugs*
