Irritating BS your SO does

[JulianMelissa 52]

Oh darling, the looks ARE there. I just don't know if your balance is large enough. I do so hope you bank at Coutts and not some pleb bank like the Halifax.

Little place by the name of Child & Co actually, perhaps you've heard of it? Can't recall ever having stepped foot into a Halifax, I hear they give away toasters when you open an account though.

Between the gun rack comments (and FYI and redneck knows that DODGE trucks are the way to go) and the quote listed above...

Me thinks you are jealous of big trucks and not being able to handle a "big gun" across the pond!

That's the only reason why Americans are poor! Almost $3.00 a gallon again for 14 miles per gallon the feed the trucks!

And yes, THIS THING does have a Hemmi!

I've honestly no idea what you just said.

When you need 'a little Xtra help' a toaster can come in quite handy!

Yes, worked near it for some time when I was working in a barristers' chambers in the Middle Temple. Child & Co, huh? Well, maybe I will send that CV on after all.

they have PG tips at Big Lots? For $3 a box? That is the most amazing news I've heard all year.....

[MelissaJulian 30]

I'm over near Luther Burbank Middle School. You?

Well, I'm in Pasadena now but I grew up off Sunset Canyon Drive. I know exactly where you are!

Seriously. I may have to borrow a Dodge, sans gun rack, to go load up. Where is this legendary Big Lots?

I found the PG Tips at the one in Scottsdale, AZ. I was killing time while waiting for an oil change on my phat wheelz (not my deathtrap Sentra, however, which I sold in 2007 ). It's a great place and has a very random assortment of stuff. For a while, it was a pink lemonade Metamucil goldmine, but I didn't see any there yesterday.

Just about to go pick up my car, which seems to be the source of a lot of arguing and joking here. I know everyone will hate me, but thank you Julian for being such a great friend and future husband.

There are two near me, one tres ghetto and another with a tiny car park, so I go to the Ghetto Big Lots. They seem to sell a lot of NutriSystem ready meals, which I always think is weird. Last time I was there I got a fantastic lawn chair with cupholders AND a leg rest for $14. I am set for summer.

Melissa -- Sunset Canyon? Nice.

I wanna hear some more spousal complaints...

[*julez* 124]

OK, Gemmie, here's another from me. When my husband sorts the laundry, he always mixes up the clothes. So, I'll be missing things, or the kids will be missing things and I finally find them in the wrong basket of laundry. It drives me batty. And, yes, this is something that he knows drives me crazy.

He also drives way too close to the curb! It freaks me out! And he knows it!

Other than that, he's practically perfect.

Julez.

I just thought of something else after reading an old accent topic here. I can no longer order my favourite platter at the local diner, called the Mambo Combo, again. My husband asked why I pronounced the last part 'so British'. I had no idea what he was talking about, it's because of the 'O' in the word 'Combo'. Try saying it now. There's no way to make that sound non-British unless you intentionally say it like the Americans and say "Cambo". Which I refuse to do. And the last time I went to order it, I got a fit of the giggles because he was waiting for my accent to come out, and I literally couldn't make my order.

We'll talk about my 'O' words when he addresses his 'A' words. It's not HAIRY, it's Harry. it's not CREG, it's Craig.\

The accent thing I can relate to. I now know there is a difference between the name Barry and the word berry, and even pronounce them differently now.

I'll have to check with the hubster about the word 'combo'. Should be interesting.

[Rob and Jill 82]

Americans and say "Cambo".

OH HEY WAIT! Don't group all Americans in with the Boston Yankee accents! Down here we talk real slow and nice like for people to understand

And we say Combo.
