I purchased = zilch. nothing. not a thing. i didnt even leave the house.
Now I do as I please and lie through my teeth. Someone might get hurt but it won't be me. I should probably feel cheap but I just feel free and a little bit empty. No it isn't so hard to get close to me. There will be no arguments. We will always agree. And I will try and be kind when I ask you to leave. We will both take it easy. But if you stay too long inside my memory, I will trap you in a song tied to a melody and I will keep you there so you can't bother me. |

Yesterday? I think all I purchased was some vending machine food. Oh, and I paid the turnpike tolls.

That round would have set you back maybe £11 here.
That hardly seems fair.

Two litres of sangria which when mixed with one litre of vodka caused my friends and I to get tossed giggling onto the pavement from a jazz club.
Today I don´t know but if I do it will be something healthy.

Kathryn I think the idea behind marketing Yorkie to men is that the chocolate is so awful that only men would buy it.
I thought I could see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it was
just some b*stard with a torch, bringing me more work. |

That's the dumbest marketing I've ever heard, with all due respect to
the Brits on the forum. In America (cough cough) we don't market chocolate to anybody but women.
That said, can one of you Englishfolk enlighten me as to what "skanky" means over there? Just tryin' to get my stupid American brain around your
chocolate-marketing techniques. Thanks.

• Eight organic pears (making pear-ginger crisp -- goes great with red wine)
• Half a pound of killer crystalized Jamaican ginger (see above)
• Half a pound of dark chocolate (goes great with red wine)
• A slice of pizza (shout out to Sir Rock, mine was plain, though; and it wasn't for me anyway)
• Postage to send a certain something to a certain forum member who has posted on this thread
• two Pillsbury frozen croissant thingies (pigs in a blanket are a poker-night staple chez-Kathryn)
• Lil' Smokies (nothing but the best nitrates for my poker-player friends)
