I missed the part about the kilt pins. Oh yeah, must go back.

to be fair, each kilt maker has a different way to measure, partly based on how they deal with which hole on the strap they prefer to be used.

I don't care if I get called a Yank. In Michigan I remember referring to people as Yooppers (spelled in some random way) and Trolls (those who live under the bridge)

I personally don't think...

I'm just trying to figure out why the one bloke said he'd try to talk her out of in once he got it on her. Seems an unnecessary step to me. I guess it might stay cleaner, but still....

I might be able to make it to that, not sure yet.

at first I thought he was referring to Walmart, than I got to wondering. I don't think I'll be making the 9 hour trek there any time soon, my car has trouble getting across town as it is.

I plan on being there Sat, i'll have to see who i have text numbers for.

I have a Kodak DC25, the second consumer Kodak digital camera, somewhere in a box. Paid over 300 for it back in 98, and it can't even touch the phone in my camera for power. It is something like 0.2...

Might be worth checking out, haven't been to Dayton in a while.

that's my best guess, tartan ferret didn't get me anywhere.

Safety Smafty.

I would love if they added it to the local heritage festival here in Piqua, they have so many other odd things added to it already..

My basement, aside from the cave, has 3 lights, a CFL, a incandescent, and a LED bulb. The cave I bet has an incandescent, but I am not really sure where the bulb is even at in the cave.

If my wife wasn't allergic, that is the kind of dog I would want.

If we were allowed to have snow tires here, but we arn't. I do kinda miss living in Mich, and it snowed more there. Here..... ugh.

It makes me wish i had more than 1 pair of wool socks.

You underestimate the evils of Detroit. I miss Ann Arbor. But I never want to be any closer than Ferndale to Detroit.

I just noticed the kerb one last night, a few pages off of reference to fishfingers, which I assume means fish sticks. I don't know why I see so many 'differences' while reading Martin Millar, but...

One I just noticed today,
US vs UK
practiced practised

Dump, garbage pile, etc... vs rubbish tip

I'm reading "Ruby and the Stone Age Diet" right now, and it has a few of those word differences. Busking does sound better than begging, and I seem to remember something about a garbage point or...

My wife and I both really miss Johnathon B Pub in Briarwood mall in A2, Mi. I say a map of the mall a few years back, and it wasn't listed. I really really miss that place.

Could be worse I guess. My mom has forgotten mine before, and it is the day after hers!

I saw if the gods (or whatever you worship) wants to take a look, than it counts, and you have to accept it. because denying the gods tends to be a bad thing.

you forgot homograph. The way is breaks down is something like this

graph - same spelling, but different (lead (to guide) lead (Pb))
phone - same sound (hare, hair)
nym - words that fit in...

Isn't there something about 'homely' meaning different things in the US vs the UK?
