Tihmmnmmish's Cuddle-Friendly Fireside Threadcast

tomorrow is going to be crazy busy...

I have a school assignment due and have to make 2 posts in the classroom message board.
I have 2 appointments-- both intense.
As always, I need to drop my daughter off and pick her up from school, only she has mid-term exams, so she only goes to school until 10am.
I have my articles to do.
...and if i don't go to the grocery store very soon, we'll be dipping into Kikyo's cat food.

:eek:

I guess I better go see what I can get done tonight.
sigh.

Oiiiiiiii ! I was trying ro compose that bloody haiku in bed then forgot what it was this morning!

ty

feel free to join the conversation any time..
hmmnmmish won't bite. (unfortunately)
 
UYS, thank you for your comment on my Valentine's Day contest. My score hover in the 3.8 range. I woke up to an email feedback calling me a cunt. No mention of anything about my story at all. Don't you just love contests?

Why is it bad?
Click to expand...

oh, i was being facetious.. it's not bad. There were some minor quibbles over what is acceptable for different forms, but nothing serious at all.

I'm enjoying learning the forms.. but i'm a bit of a odd one.. the kind who pens a teary, autobiographical villanelle when she can't sleep. perhaps "teary" is a bit of an understatement. "Gut-wrenching" would be more accurate. Anyway, it will probably post tomorrow. It's called "Drama Life, Curtain Birth."

Anywho, I better get off here and prepare for my appointments. The first one is so intense that they usually recommend that you spend the rest of the day just caring for yourself. (Which is why i usually schedule them on Wednesdays so I can just veg-out in front of Ghost Hunters all night, but that was impossible this week.)

Unfortunately, I have another appointment, which can also be quite emotional but only 15 minutes long, a half an hour after the first one will end. Good times.

Okay... time to quit stalling..
 
UYS,
You asking if Americans know what "did a bunk" means, reminded me of the fortnight I spent in London as a kid. Did I ever tell you about my lil faux pas there?
 
I was like 12 when about nine kids from my class got to stay in London for two weeks with families there. One morning, Hailey, the girl who was my age from the family I was staying with, and I were walking along when I pointed out that I was wearing knickers that my grandmother made for me. Knickers, you know, short, cuffed pants. Knickers. She laughed at me! She told her friends who were with us what I had said... sigh.. you English are so mean! LOL

knickers...

If I would have meant underwear, I would have said "underwear" or "panties."

:kiss:
 
Roflllll and pants is nearly as bad ........pants over here are mens underwear lol oh and a fanny bag is dreadful ermmmmmm a fanny is ummm errrrrr pussy lol
 
FANNY = PUSSY ???

I did not know that!

I like languages. I always liked hearing the stories of companies that start to sell a product in a different country only to realize they have to change the name of the product due to a negative meaning of the original name in that language.

The best example I know is the Chevy Nova. (Although fanny pack in Britian may have that beat now.)

Cheverolet had a bit of a problem when they tried to sell that car in Spanish-speaking countries. Anyone who knows elementary Spanish knows that "No va." translates to "It won't go."

Can you imagine trying to sell a car with a name like "It won't go"?
What a marketing nightmare!
 
They were giving away fanny bags as prizes on a cruise I was on and the entertainment staff couldn't understand why the English passengers were in stitches and we had to carefully explain what they were saying lol
 
I just saw another example of a company that had a car name issue in Spanish-speaking companies- Mitsubishi.

hmmnmmish, did you know that the Montero was originally called pajero? In Spanish, "pajero" is equivalent to "wanker."

They kept the name Pajero for the SUV's sold in Australia, changed US and South American ones to Montero, and named the ones sold in Europe Shogun.

go figure.

You would think they would research these things beforehand..
 
Didn't know that. Thank you. Oh and a belated unintentional managerial oversight greeting to the morning romantic visitor.
