I had the same problem, @Holly Saunders when I spoke both. I occasionally threw a Spanish word into Japanese too, as some of the vocabulary is similar.
Welcome back, @Don Alaska ! We have missed you, and your always interesting comments in our conversations here at this forum. Hoping that you had safe travels, and enjoyed your trip.
Back from our trip to the middle of the country. I enjoyed much of it, but frustration reared its ugly head once in a while. I met our son's prospective in-laws for the first time, and was prepared for wacko as our son has told us his mother-in-law-to-be was a bit strange. They seemed nice to us, but he said it was the most normal he had ever seen them. I have been warning him for years that when you marry someone, you are marrying their family. My wife got to see a lot of her old friends and relatives, and I got my 50th state--Oklahoma. Happy Sunday everyone! It is 28 F. and supposed to snow this afternoon.
Please try to keep your snow under control, @Don Alaska , we sure do not want any of it to escape and make it as far south as Alabama. Some of your cold weather already did that while you were away and not watching to make sure it was confined to Alaska, and now we have to be all bundled up and wear warm clothes down here when it is still supposed to be reasonably warm weather. Probably not going to have any tomatoes getting ripe over Thanksgiving weekend here this year, and we are already bringing the lemon trees inside for the winter.
We sometimes have tomatoes ripening over Thanksgiving here, @Yvonne Smith but they are on a shelf in the garage, not outside or in the greenhouse. We grow storage tomatoes that are bred to ripen slowly over time after they have been picked. If you were to grow them, you would have to plant them in August or September, as your season is too long and the summers too hot for them.
@Yvonne Smith , you know what that clock is telling you dontcha?...it's telling you that unless you come to the UK at least once it's not going to behave...
I would truly LOVE to do that , @Holly Saunders ! If I do, I will be sure to bring the clock along and maybe that will settle it down so that it can change on US time changes and not on UK ones from now on. If I can’t make it, maybe I should just give you the clock ?
Still looks like summer in Fresno. Trees are green and there are flowers everywhere. It will take another month for leaves to turn I think...then fall.
Good morning! My worst day since Ive come home. I was going to go out early to the store but got a migraine (just the aura) but it's been awhile. Also I must have slept wrong but woke up with a stiff neck, I can move it but hurts slightly when I do side to side. Was googling what to do..heat or ice and went with heat and that's when I got the migraine. After that....I didn't even bother getting dressed.
that's a coincidence ... I did the self same thing today..neck has been cramped most of the day , hurts when I move my head, I had to have a baby size hot water bottle on it earlier to ease the pain, thankfully no migraine ....
@Holly Saunders I never really thought about it: figured only the crazy Yanks would perpetuate the clock-change scheme! I say that with tongue in cheek, though, as our state, Arizona, is one of two (along with Hawaii, I believe), that do not observe Daylight Saving Time. U.S. doesn't do it for another week, I think. Causes some interesting problems here for a week or two each time the change is made: time line runs smack dab down the center of the Colorado River, west side Pacific Time, east side Mountain Time. Since the east side (AZ) does NOT change clocks, in Winter the time is the same on both sides, but in Summer, crossing the river results in a one-hour change! Workers traveling across must adjust their schedules twice a year! Frank
