They only ever did that when I was a kid! About a hundred years ago - so our gang wouldn`t drink peoples milk that was delivered in the mornings.....
Those were the good old days - cops would phone my old man and tell him they had his kids at the station - old man told them to lock us up! they never did! Just drove us home.
Cajun..? Wassat? It`s a groovy tune ... played it every night on the way home from the Celta course in February - to unwind from the stress! Gotta play it LOUD, then it`s effective!
I like this one too. This is not the original - but original in that it just goes to show that you really only need ONE instrument for a band to play! ... and they do it rather well, too!
If you eat all the fruit of an entire Apricot tree, and someone else eats the inners of all the pips ........ they could have a slight dose of arsenic. Don`t know if it would do then any harm, but it could cure their arthritis problems
hey Darl Ticktock .... you have to be a South African to know how South Africa works! It is not a normal country like most people are used to here. There are no "high-ups" in government unless they are your family.
No, Josi`s problem is already solved. She gets a temporary passport from her embassy in Spain, and she applies for her new one whenever she wants to. She just happened to bump a day in SA when she phoned, when everyone was in dumb-mode. There are lots of dumb-mode days in SA .... they call it, quite proudly too.... "African Time". Usually you just sit out on the pavement and wait for the day to become another day and hope for the best.
Living in a european country is the best option for anyone - because the staff in overseas embassies are still functioning as employable people.
Oh wow that brought back memories! At my first Rock`n Roll session I attended when about 14 yrs old, Gene Vincent was doing the music - and I had my photo taken with him. I was actually illegaly at that session, and so ... guess what..?... that photo appeared in the local newspaper - Was my Dad happy with me?
Imma, every country has it. I guess it`s in how you say the name? It`s an ancient famous old recipe of about 82 different herbs in a tincture. If you say "Sweden" in your language there, and add that its a herbal mixture - they should get the drift.
You are welcome, that`s what we`re here for ..... panic and advice! Good luck when you`re over there. Oh and another tip .... if you eat in a restaurant, don`t let the waiters not return your change when you pay ... they`re great on that ... they take their gratuities for granted and happily help themselves to your change especially if in the process of changing shifts. Watch them. And only tip maximum 10% for GOOD service. Or else you perpetuate their horrible behaviour.
Yes, the home keeps going, keeps "functioning". Great take-aways does not mean health. I suppose I`m just too old fashioned to have this type of discussion. Because I realy do not see how going out of the home to "earn a living" competes with staying at home for a better quality home life - and have someone else get up early and spend 9 hours working for a stranger, to bring home money - can compete with actual quality of life. But things have changed, I do agree.
No-one can trust the other to do their share anymore. So women have to go out to work and earn their own money. Just in case faithful old hubby decides to trade them in for a younger newer model...?
Sad, but true. Now, as someone said on another thread here, just shut up and consume.
Hey! You have`nt heard about MY religion yet! You would absolutely Love the religion I preach! It would only mean that you give me ALL your money and I live in a beach hut on a warm ocean beach and drink Tequilas in a thatched pub in the balmy evenings while composing my Sunday sermons - but you would really love what I preach!
And sometimes not, depending on the course of events. Does one want to milk a cow, make the butter, have cream and fresh milk...? Weave a basket in the sun...? ... or dash off to an office and buy McDonalds for supper .... ?.. and use life-earnings to treat the latent cancer in the family?
Ah ha ... yes! Great grandmother Smoky knows it all, you are SO lucky to have me here!
You get down to some druggy shop and ask for "Swedish Bitters", and take about a tablespoon of it in a little bit of water in a glass, hold it in your mouth for as long as you can can, then spit it out. Do that a couple times, and the pain will subside, along with any "negativity" you have in your body.
Most any chemical shop dealing in drugs/natural remedies/homeopathy, will have Swedish Bitters which is a mixture of numerous old fashioned herbs.
It`s also a realy good natural cure for an alcoholic hangover if you take one teaspoon when you wake up with one of those headaches.
It cured me once, stuck in Italy with a broken tooth and sinus infection and no medical assistance except a bunch of illiterate Italian relatives.
And if I`m not mistaken .... this is our old friend .... forgotten your other name ...... sorry ......but you`ve gone and gotten yourself a new name, huh?
Off the ground and flying ......... from Bong ... we go to ..... .......
Ja, I understand what you`re saying ..... but ..... (excuse me, I always got a "but" to add) ....
They may be great cooks, but .. and here is the But ....WHAT do they cook? That is the burning question of the moment.
My D.i.L is also a great cook, most of what she cooks comes out of supermarkets .... packets, cans, boxes, frozen, freeze-dried - quick cooking? Farmers wife up the road .... grows her own veges and fruits, bottles in summer ..... makes own pastries .... not a packet of instant stuff to be found in her kitchen - stocks and gravies made from scratch. Long drawn out soups made from cheap meat cuts. That sort of thing, where the woman has all day to attend to the home. Mending clothes. Cleaning. Laundry, etc.
I`m just playing Devils Advocate here, for the moment ..... interesting discussion.
