Hi, reading back and catching up....
Ducky, I love love love the family photos. I have not had everyone together since.....???? cannot remember.
What a beautiful family you have...every single one. It's hard when personalities get in the way. I am glad they behaved for your party....as they should.Alyson, how awesome that you have a global phone plan now! I didn't know that was available.
I have relatives in NZ who sailed there from Newfoundland to start a lumber mill sometime in the last century. They probably cut all the trees down in NF so had to leave. I hope I am not repeating myself....but I hope to get to NZ some day.Lucy, I love your selfie with your daughter and baby. What a little doll...another beautiful family!
FK, welcome to the above-ground world. I know you are never far....sometimes we just need a little space. Or a lot of space.
Only three more classes to go...I can already feel the pressure lifting. That said, I am having a double-dose of STFU days at work. And it is not the students.0 -
I locked that basement door long ago. Good to see you back Kracker!
Good to see you Joan.

Ugh.. 2.20 am here.. turn my mind off.. So annoying !!

I had a pretty bad RA flare a few years ago and I was stuck in the house. My DH and I started watching McLeod's Daughter's on Netflix and we were hooked! That's when I heard the word bloke. I love that word!! At the beginning of the show we had to turn on subtitles to understand everything. By the end of the series we could understand everything. I loved that show.

Slow.. I enjoyed McLeod's Daughters too.. HaHa.. Yeah..They're ALL blokes here !!

Morning all
Wrote a long erudite post about language differences and lost it.
We use bloke here as well. Our language here is close to the Aussies. I enjoy linguistics and have fun finding variations. We can act as interpreters between you and the Brits as we tend to use both terms.
One that always gets a laugh is when you use the term 'fanny'. It has a different meaning here. An American lecturer at one of our universities couldn't understand the reaction he got when he told a group of young wen to hurry up and get their fannies on the seats. It was only later when he told his Kiwi wife what he had said that he understood and apologised to his class the next day. He went on to write an US - NZ dictionary which is very funny.
There are some advantages to having RA eh Slow.?

The latest viral video hit is of Blinky Bill the koala. He walks into an Australia hospital waiting room, wanders around, then walks back out through the automatic doors. Here is a link in case anyone is curious: http://abc7news.com/society/koala-strolls-into-australian-hospital-waiting-room/700923/
BTW, My son, who has been to Australia, tells me koalas are stinky.

Koalas are stinky.
He is called Blinky Bill after a children's book.

Allysonso what is a fanny?
0 -
Kathy, I believe it is a woman's private parts... the part the gynecologist is so very interested in... but it is slang for those parts

Poppy is right so it's always funny for us when you mention fanny. We know what you mean but it is fun to appear shocked. For you bum refers to a tramp or hobo for us bum is what you call a fanny. Go figure.

Alyson,
that sounds like what we have here with our various versions of referring to a soft drink. I remember when my family moved from Wisconsin to the East Coast and we were staying with my mom's brother and his family. My aunt asked my mom to get some soda from the store while she was out that day running errands, so mom said she would. So off goes my mom on her errands and when she came back, she was helping my aunt unload the groceries and my aunt says "you forgot the soda." Mom looked at her and said "No I didn't, you are holding it in your hand." My mom had brought home a box of baking soda! My aunt laughed and said she had forgotten that where we are from we call it "pop". So the next time she asked my mom to get some soda from the store, my aunt would either specify "pop" or just call it by the brand name.

HaHa.. Mommy.. We call it a "soft drink " , or a "fizzy drink "..

That would be awful to name your daughter "Fanny" which I used to think was a pretty quaint name......But now all I can think of is a four letter slang word for the same area, which I believe is about one of the worst slurs one can use, hear, etc.
It starts with C....................

So excited, moving to a window office today, after having an interior office next to the exit door.I brought in two plants and I see this as the beginning of a new perspective.

Alyson, advantages to having RA??? hahaha....Yes, I guess we need to look for any that we can find!! I'll have to remember not to use the F word in the future!!
Mommy, where I grew up in NY, they called it soda. When I'd visit my Grandparent's in PA, they called it pop. You'd think only being a five hour drive from each other they would call it the same thing.
Kathy, Congratulations on your new office with a window!
I think I'd prefer being by an EXIT!! haha

Lucy, Isn't lemonade and sprite one of those things that are different in Australia than they are in the US?
Slow, you crack me up.

From the Kiwi. Sprite is the Brand name for lemonade. We get other fizzy drink lemonade as well. We do make lemonade though which is really lemon cordial.
Like the Aussies it is either soft drink or fizzy drink.
