    Poppy, TEN DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!, wow, you're fortunate - though I appreciate what it's like with a houseful of kids

    I'm reading a good book at the moment. Can't do much else until I'm fighting fit again. Oh, I can come here, too!

    Snow in Holland, eh, Viv! Perhaps we'll get snow at Christmas after all.

    Good Morning to you Ian! It's 27 f here in Michigan. Mild weather for us. Still have a foot of snow on the ground from last weekend. I'm usually up around 6 am out time. I'm getting ready for work and leave here a5round 8 or so. I enjoy your posts, and in time I will be posting more in depth thoughts on my life as a jw. Currently however, family prohibits me from revealing to much more. My life as a jw has been a roller coaster much like many other here. Take care. Have a good day all. To all in the U.K. I believe it is Gday.

    It’s the Ozzies that say "gday".

    We would be more inclined to say "have a pleasant day", usually in a real pompous snooty English accent.

    I would like to know if we are known by the Ozzies as "poms" because we are so pompous? Be nice to think so.

    Hi Nomoreguilt,

    Great to hear from you.

    To all in the U.K. I believe it is Gday.

    G'day is an Australian expression. Mornin' is English (silent 'g').

    Strange, isn't it. Good day is an old conventional English expression of greeting OR farewell used during the day.

    Good Morning Ian.

    Ok so i jsut got up, i know really bad, and the sun is shining but its freezing inside my flat. And i juat had to tell one of my neighbours guests to get the hell outside and stop smoking outside my door ( it is illegal now afterall). He was blowing the smoke straight in, and it wasnt a 'normal' cigarette.

    Ya! ya got me there, just a little brain dead this morning. I know better than that. Must be the crocadile dundee influence and all the Forsters commercials we get here. Personnally I prefer Whitbread, or Doublr Diamond.

    The other one is "How do" in the deepest tone you can muster up.

    The polite reply to that remark is "not so bad" or "ney so bad" as you northerners would say.

    Double Dimond!! Can't remember the last time I saw a can of that. Been a while since you've been here then?
