    Well, Sas, I did say it's my sister's name. No, she's not called Ruddy she's called Randy.

    And please, will everyone refrain from reporting this post for questionable language when I translate English to American and tell you that "randy" in England is "horny" in America.

    Leah

    edited to add: that's why I told my sister to say "I'm Mrs. W" and not "I'm Randy" when introducing herself in England!

    SAS, I'm not sure where she lives but Dr. McConnell is a professor at UW-Madison.

    Kate, I checked out the video you posted in your sig line.  LOVE IT - thanks!!!

    LOL Leah, I'm wondering if it's better to be Randy in England or Dick in the U.S.? 

    It's actually chilly here today so I am warming up by the fire this evening.

    Okay I could not for the life of me come up with Randy. Which reminds me of a story

    A dear English friend , new to the states after marrying a serviceman. Was cornered at a basement party by a fella named George. He told her a really sad tale of woe. When they were leaving she was 1/2 way up the steps and turned and said across the room "George keep your pecker up" The room went dead silent. She had no idea until on the way home her husband tells her, that here that mean penis. In England it means chin.

    It was found in my Dh' GM's garage after she died in the 80's.  My Dh GF died in 1957 @57 of a coronary. I had it framed. DS has been instructed it has to stay with him, His fiancee loves it. So, I think it's safe for another generation. LOL. MY son is not so much into my collecting of old things. My hope rests with her, she listened to all my stories about the stuff with a family history LOL

    You mean when I say ' Bloody hell" someone might take offense. I learned it from the movies. If it wasn't censored in the movies __I'm talking the old movies from the 60's and before. It can't be that bad  Well that's bollixed isn't it. (american spelling) American definition is "to foul up"

    Of course some of the things I say, could have been influenced by my canadian moms family. She had a SIL that was a WW2 war bride. What a hoot---sense of humor. The stories she would tell about London during the bombings of the buzz bombs. They wouldn't go into the shelters until the heard the buzz stop. Then there were times they had dance parties in the shelters. They were gutsy strong people.

    Need a quick joke?  Here's one of my faves:

    Did you hear about the dyslexic devil worshipper?  He sold his soul to Santa.

    How many doctors does it take to change a light bulb?

    Just one, he holds up his hand and the world revolves around him.

    One to screw it and 10 to consult the management of how to do it?

     EDit That is so true. I was the first nurse on my floor that didn't stand when the doc wanted my chair---Around 74__he kept clearing his throat and I said can I help you Pause---I knew he wanted the chair--------he turned all red--------I said I've got 12-13 charts i'm working on , but there are about four chairs in the back , please return the chart when your done  so I can finish. I think I got reported, but it was fun

    An easy sauce take raspberry perserves and add tsp of water and stir, let it drip off a spoon like you would test gravy. Learned this trick from a french cook that used SMUCKERS. I was raving about it over chocolate mousse. He finally whispered in my ear PUREED SMUCKERS. --duh fancy french restaurant and the sauce is OTC

    I have a nice pat of sweet cream butter left from greasing the baking pan, would that help de-stick things?  Just have to make sure it doesn't get too close to the fire and burn.  Although browned butter sauce is wonderful with fish, it's not a good body lotion!
