What connotation does fanny have in Britain?

It's the kind-of-dirty kidsy word for vagina.

I was gobsmacked (at an early age) to discover a character on Sesame Street called Granny Fanny Nesselrode.

Question: what makes you 12 again?

Waking up.

Do not argue with boobies.

"I'm sorry, that foot is definitely red."

"Is not! This is a blue leg if ever I saw one."

"Red!"

"Blue!"

Jilli, those pictures are amazing! Your dress! Leaves me speechless, it really does. It's so good to see E. in her typical fine form, too. And Cass! Guh! So many pretty peoples! I wish I could have been there with you. Maybe next year.

In meme news, I just found out that I didn't get into the Chaucer seminar in England and am feeling more bummed about it than I thought I would. Go ahead, March, kick a girl while she's down on your way out the door.

Ah well, as I said in thread, at least now ND and I can go to the F2F.

Here on the West Coast, March is finally, officially over. Here's to a much better April.

OMG, quite the day to try and pull a Meara on. OK. lets see if I can do this :: takes big deep breath::

1st, KT, dang! I mean, c'mon march, let it go already would ya! Many big {{{{hugs}}}}

2nd. Airwolf fucking rocked! That was a bad ass chopper dude! (can I get boobies now? Me miss boobies)

3rd. It's really tough typing. Who'd thunk it get so cold in So Cal. Jeez it must be like 50ºF at midnight. Brrr. I'm in hoodie and sweat pants under a blankie on the couch (ok, actually I am, but that's cuz I chill easy). So, does this put me on some MagicMan er... MiracleMan list? C'mon brother, get your ass back out here. :: looks for tin cup to drop a couple quid in to help the cause ::

I am the best roommate ever. I just ordered a set of four commemorative Philadelphia Eagles shot glasses to replace the one I broke.

Set of four to replace one... this must be new math. So? you have 3 leftover Philly Eagles stuff? Hello! Eagle fan here! IJS!

The worst part is when it's *my* anniversary. I have to sit there and endure it, and pretend I didn't know they'd all sneak up and sing loudly and off-key.

See, as I was reading this, I literally knocked my head back and started howling like a dog trying to sing, and thought, golly, this would be a hot thing to do when those wankers were trying to sing to you. Just a thought.

I just rearranged my CD case so that if someone flips through it Blink 182 and the Miss Congeniality 2 soundtrack (hey, it was free!) are not the first 2 discs. Yes I am a dork.

Ya know, I thought you of all people would have *SOME* AC/DC albums! Eh, maybe not, but it would have something other than Blink 182 as your 1st disc.

IOmeN, so my sister didn't send a text, call or nothing regarding flowers. I'm wondering if she got them?? I'm gonna try and call her en route to work in my AM.

Also, I seem to have done something bad. As I was walking thru Trader Joe's freezer dept finding dinners, I didn't avert my eyes enough in the desserts section, and my eyes spied "Ben & Jerry". I walked on by like a good boy. But I was like "wow, that seemed awfully big for a pint"... and I went back... BIG MISTAKE. Who knew TJ's carries B&J's. And since when do they come in QUARTS!! OMG. They had one of my fav flavors. I dunno how it happened, but one made it to my freezer. And of course, I just finished a bowl. (which might explain why I'm cold under a blankie in Southern California).

God save me from weepy whiny kids. Ack!

New girl being assessed today (will join us after the holiday, taking my class of 20 up to 22. Interesting maths my boss does...) was all clingy and weepy and like a fucking 2 year old. And she's 7! I mean - GROW THE FUCK UP! Stop trying to climb your mommy like a tree! YOU ARE SEVEN! YOU ARE EMBARRASSING ALL SEVEN YEAR OLDS WITH YOUR BEHAVIOUR!

She was fine after a bit, once Mom had gone. But just now, seeing her with Mom again - same bloody ridiculous behaviour. Good grief.

...yeah. I really really don't want to move to any younger classes next year. It would be suicide or homicide, or possibly both. Ack. The patience, she is definitely finite.

taking my class of 20 up to 22

Dude, is she that big that she's TWO people? Wow!

...yeah. I really really don't want to move to any younger classes next year. It would be suicide or homicide, or possibly both. Ack. The patience, she is definitely finite.

Didn't you have kids of the royal family or some such? Would that be regicide then?

---

Dude, is she that big that she's TWO people? Wow!

Ah, no. The point is that our maximum class size is twenty. That is the official line. My class of twenty currently contains 21 kids. Soon my class of twenty will contain 22 kids.

so, SIL had her baby. I got a text from my bro at 1:30 saying only that it was a baby girl. I called my parents only to find out that my bro called them with name and details (Kaylee (not sure on middle name) 7 lbs 9 oz)

In super selfish news, I'm sort of mad that my bro called my parents or more accurately that he didn't tell me he called them. It is a death sentence if both Ellie and Frisco wake up at the same time and I'm the only adult here but I took the risk and took the phone to bed with me to make sure my parents got the news as possible. I'm sort of mad at myself for being mad but chronic sleep dep can make you extra cranky. Still, good news of baby Kaylee outweighs the cranky, I guess.
