Trw, you can go to school and become an anesthesiologist and park your hiney outside the hospital offering epidural to all the pregnant women who come in. You would make a fortune and have all kinds of interesting stories to tell.
yeah lizard, i find it interesting that wapa raised rates because people were using less power,how about laying off or buying out a few employees,lol that would be too easy,my bosses bill this month was close to 3 grand when you add in water,i heard a quote yesterday that in europe the government is afraid of the people and in america the people are afraid of the goverment
who knew i'd grow up and live in a place where the children are in charge,it would be nice to meet a responsible adult,lol does that make me rascist,oh where's DL when you need him
dear jesus,if you help me when i reach a certain age resist the urge to go to the tanning beds and get a razor sharp haircut before i get on the plane to come here and wear designer clothing and great shoes with no socks and unbutton the top three buttons on my shirt and wear a gold medallion on my 3 chest hairs, i promise to stop being mean to the tim and i'll stop kicking small children and animals through goalposts
lol for the last week i've been wearing "clothes" at work, i got tired of always wearing shorts so i dugout long pants and real shirts and i've just been a fashion plate, i have alot of great and expensive clothes tucked away and never wear them,so i dug em all out
hey you southern women......................................i'm reading this trashy book right now called "queen bee of mimosa branch" by haywood smith and one of the characters in the book says "i swan" what exactly does that mean and they say "law" alot as well
"i swan" or "i swaneeee" and "el lawwwww" or "lawwww" is like saying no shit. the w's are always drawn out. is not so bad as a southern woman looking you in your face and saying..."that's naaace"...that is them saying "f you"....lol
One day these two fine southern ladies were sitting on the front porch having some iced tea.
One of the women sticks out her hand for the other woman to see, and in her long southern drawl says "Look at this ring my husband gave me. Isn't it nice?"
To which the other woman replies, "Oh that's nice, that's real nice."
The first woman then says , "And just last month he took me on one of them Caribbean cruises."
The second woman again replies, "Oh that's nice, that's real nice."
"Well sweetheart doesn't your husband ever buy you nice things or send you nice places?"
"Oh", the second woman responds, "When we first got married he did send me to etiquette school."
"Why'd he do that?" the first woman asks.
To which the second fine southern woman replies, "Well you see, before, when someone told me about the jewelry their husband gave them, or the trips he sent her on, I would have just said I don't give a f*%, but now I say that's nice, that's real nice."
It means "you don't say" or "well shut my mouth" or Lordy, lordy". They all mean the same thing - what is this world coming to?
Also used like, "I swear". My grandmother would say to me, " I swanee girl. If you don't get out of my apple tree, I'm gonna stripe your legs with a hickory"
ok ladies another question, squirrel or rabbit in brunswick stew?
depends on where you live and what you have on hand...there are many regional variations ...example..charleston, sc low country makes a variation called frogmoor stew, using a combination of hot and mild link sausage and shrimp...
any of you ladies want to read this book stop by the cafe and borrow it,i'll bring it in tonight,it's pretty good,about a 50 yr old woman that goes back to her parents home after a nasty divorce,discovers her uncle has dementia and her father is slipping and her mother is as overbearing as ever,i dunno it's a good book,kinda comedy/drama
ex senator weber was in tonight,he's been asked to run as the lt gov for one of the candidates in 10, i told him no don't do that, too many people running,try for the senate again you did'nt lose by much this last time around,but start running now and think of something original to run on not the usual crime and education,think outside the box move people from the projects into home ownership programs,do territory wide health care for those that want it,streamline the gov process here on stx by building a central gov location,move the remaing projects center island so they're by the 2 highschools and the clinic and hospital,move wapa to the south shore,and come down hard on the czm,lol he asked if i wanted a job.
TRW for senator!
You can borrow Richie's line when he ran (via bumper sticker).........."I can't do no worse"
On a serious note, you have great ideas & tons of island knowledge.........why not try working with a candidate like Webber & who knows you too could be sucking some of the govt teet......
islandtyme,
are you kidding me? you can't tie trw down - before you know it the tie would be off and some prissy would have knickers in firm twist. oh, the government is not ready for trw. like him just the way he is, don't wish to share.
you're right A Davis....................but then again he sure would stir things up in the Govt House.........
LOL never prissy, just occasionally "royal"and i actually prefer to be the manipulator behind the throne like cheney and rahm emmaneul,my boss saw me get royal at work once in the past year,and that was just kinda royal when i snapped on a really rude customer,and well he was impressed just i'm generally really laid back,but he is amazed when i can just point a finger at the crazy crackhead woman and the drooler and they turn around and leave,lol never a word just the finger point thing.
oh and i got the box of clothing from long island yesterday, thank you.
and one more thing, when you've worked with west indian women and cab drivers for as long as i have you hear lots of stuff,and then when you wait on the upper crust west indians you hear alot more about what actually goes on here and how things are done,i've just paid attention over the years,listened and learned,and when you listen to the street lowlife you hear even more, there is an information network that you need to tie in with to hear what really goes on,old history and stuff like that with current people in the news,who has a mistress,whose kid is whose,,alot of it is just gossip but it's almost always true, alot of west indians have very long memories
one of my favorite movies is on right now "natural born killers" i love this movie
and an old adage down here is "the best crook is the one you know"
and now i'm watching armagedon for like the 10th time, i wonder sometimes if i have a craving for death and destruction
Another successful birthday party at Chuck E Cheese for JJ. He was so happy. Easy kid to please. You could give him a brick for a present and he would be happy.
Trw, wait til the 2012 movie comes out in November. I just love disaster movies. Don't know why.
TRW - I just watched Armageddon on a 60" HD - LCD with Bose surround sound - WOW! I've always love that movie but it's something else in HD/surround sound!! That and I watched Independence Day again too - I just can't pass up that movie when it's on!
twister's a good one as well
