I had to put the car in for its MOT today. Dropped it off, asked how long it would be. They said about 3 hours... So I walked home (thought the excercise would do me good, it is a nice day), which took me an hour. Got in, made a cup of tea, phone rings "hi, your car's ready for collection!"

bollocks!

I want to learn how to exploit my dead relatives for money.

The daffodills are outside and I am inside.

Thank you for reminding me to take my camera on our walk. Just packing up the little bruiser ad the rest of the gear. My Aunt loves daffodils.
I promised her I would take some photos for her, she has never been to England.

have you ever made it through a crappy day at work by thinking about something good to eat when you get home? then you finally get home, you're hungry as f**k, and some bastard has already eaten it?

Oh, the joys of living alone.

Do daffodills only grow in the UK?

I've never really thought about it.

I'm from the south, we say Pop too!!

I hate when folks try to make me say "soda".

My midwest relatives say it too. Some of the more rural ones say "sody pop"

My family says "pop" and so do most Minnesotans.

I took to saying "soda" when I was a teenager just to be difficult. Most of my friends say "soda" too. I don't know why we did that.

We say Pop in England! and we never say soda. Well unless we're wanting soda water with an alcoholic drink, but that just weakens it down and who needs that?!

Alright, alright I'm a flora dunce... don't rub it in!

I must say that they are most beautiful here...Spring in general is most beautiful in the UK. At least in the southeast countryside parts that we live in.

MrsMdiver said:

Yeh, I love it when the daffs come through, just makes me smile and hope for summer.

SHOCKADELICA1 said:

Everybody knows that soda is that shit you put in dough or batter when when you're baking. Or a character from The Outsiders. But not something you drink!

meow85 said:

We say soda in NY and everyone knows what NY says goes.

Exactly. I was born in Maryland, we always called it soda. When I moved to Florida, I just learned to ignore the ppl that called it "pop".

it's not little, pretty major (to me).
I was given a ring recently:


And I love that ring. LOVE.

Today - I stupidly left it in the public washroom at school.
Walked away. Remembered I didn't have it on. Ran back.

It was gone.

I went all over the school. Disrupted classes. Spoke to the lost and found, front desk and security.

Nothing.

I've been crying most of the afternoon...


It meant a lot to me.

I can't believe I lacked the mental capacity to remember it...


Absolutely heartbroken.
