You know I am, Tom.
A lot of things have converted to Metric, but some things stick with imperial.
When I was in Britain in 2004, I bought a length of ribbon at a fabric store, and I was like, "Can I have about half a yard? Oh, I mean half a meter." And the woman said, "Oh that's all right, dear. None of my regular customers can sew in meters either." She showed me how her ruler was technically a metric ruler, and she was supposed to measure off the saleable amount in metric, but the inches side was the side with the wear-marks. I can see as how traditional things like eyeballing distances and sewing and baking would be slow to convert over.
"So I got the pen and tried to put it in his eye, but it didn't want to go in as easy as I thought it would."
This is oddly cool and very squicky. Also the fact that she could hear her husband talking to her throughout.
Sue, wishing best thoughts for you.
Verra cute place, Sue! Housema to you!
I told this story before, but once I was pinned to the ground by a heifer that was trying to gore me. Jabbing my fingers in its eyes was the only thing that let me get away.
I am in love with the pink kitchen. unsurprisingly.
I have thought about making the pink kitchen even pinker, with some Fuschia paint for the trim.
ooohhhhh..... that sounds purty.
I want a Very Pink Kitchen!
