Thrillho Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 That is gonna be one energetic beast. I foresee a lot of long walks in your future. ps other thing that made me smile: 80-something old man on the boardwalk, pushing his 80-something wife in a wheelchair. Wife had a fluffy little dog on her lap. All three of them appeared to be having a great morning. That was one of the reasons we got her. She's going to be my jogging coach. 3 Quote The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well. There was aggression on both sides. Link to comment
Guzzi Posted February 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 I don't know if any of you will understand a word of this, but I think it's brilliant.The song is called "We no spik (speak) no Whalsay" which is a bit of an in joke in Shetland.Whalsay is one of the islands that make up shetland and has the strongest accent of all the islands. The joke is that even other Shetlanders can't understand them.The two verses are:Monda day, when I gien (went) into WhalsayI nipped to the shop to get mysel' a Mars barBut as I gien up an lain them on the counterThe wife (woman) says "Now then, foos doo gyaan da day?"(Now then, how are you today)But I canna spik WhalsayMonday day, when I gien into WhalseyI nipped to the shop for a pack o' Energizer (a brand of batteries)I asked for them 'cause they were ahind (behind) the counterShe said "We hae (have) triple A or we hae AABut I canna spik WhalsayI should note that this was recorded at the shetland Folk Festival, a celebration of Shetland music.The fact that everyone thought that this was funny and that no one took umbrage to their accent being made fun of, shows the Shetland sense of humour and laid back attitude. It's a lovely place to live. 2 Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment

Miw_Sher Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 For some reason, I perceive today as extremely successful though in reality, none of my tasks went as planned. I have been struggling in a pool of pessimism for the past two weeks, so the realisation that I am finally seeing positive aspects again just put a broad smile on my face. 2 Quote Goblin | Level 7 | STR: 4 | DEX: 2 | STA: 3 | CON: 3.5 | WIS: 8 | CHA: 2.5 Nerdfitness Character, Past challenges: 1 1 2 2 3 4 5 5 6, Current challenge (March 19 - April 15): click Tough Mudder Ireland || Battle for Graduation || My Neverending Story (on hiatus) Link to comment

Beckyinma Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I cut my hair over the weekend, drastic as always but the hairdresser misunderstood and went too short in the front and I hate it. But all my students tell me they like it and random teachers in the hall notice and compliment me. I had to sub for a paraprofessional in a SPED room and of course the block was math. I went through the practice questions with one girl, PEMDAS stuff. I showed her the incorrect procedure, and even had to look up how to multiply fractions (because I really truly suck at math. I have the exam for ParaPro soon and need to brush up on all of it anyway, so it's good to be in a math class). Once we were done being confused and knew the right way to do it, we were getting all of the practice equations right, and there were high-fives all around. The thought of doing my first gym ring workout today after school makes the day go by faster. One more block. One more class. 55 more minutes. Quote Link to comment
Raincloak Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I found a snail of unexplained origin in my fish tank this morning (must have hitchhiked in on the "snail free" Java fern I bought three weeks ago). It's the same size and color as my gravel, which explains why I didn't see it till now. I sure hope it's not the kind of snail that reproduces by itself, so I scooped it into a plastic container for observation. Darn, it's cute. I spent 15 minutes watching it float around, foot upwards.
