Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
Thanks, Jennifer. That is exactly correct (even if you spelled offense as "offence")! :joyfull:


Just saw your post above, Steve. All is well -- post away, whatever you want to.
We still speak the King’s English up here. Offence and defence.

Practice - as a noun.
Practise - as a verb.

I’m sure there are more examples, but the boss is on his way here and I should endeavour to look busy.

NM - that’s not his SUV driving by.

“-ce” / “-se”:
Some nouns ending in “-ce” in Britain and Canada (e.g. “offence”, defence”, “pretence”) are spelled with “-se” in American (e.g. “offense”, “defense”, “pretense”).
Some nouns ending in “-ce” in Britain and Canada which have a related verb ending in “-se” (e.g. “practice” / “practise”, “licence” / “license”) lose that distinction in American usage (“practice” is used for both noun and verb, “license” is used for both noun and verb).
Derivatives (e.g. “defensive”, “offensive”, “pretension”) are generally spelled with an “s” in both countries.

More examples here of how y’all do it wrong.

Don't be fooled -- it's a conspiracy, I tell you!! :p

OMG those were the BEST!
Best smell in class - fresh wet ditto (mimeograph) paper. You walk in from recess and see a paper on your desk, first thing everybody did was lift it to their nose and inhale deeply.

Best sound in class - the fwap fwap fwap of the film reel ending.

Worst task in class - the rotating weekly chalkboard duty.

Now it’s all interactive whiteboards, tablets, computers, and gosh, I don’t even know anymore.

OK, so.for.anyone who's game to try to interpret... (except AI!)

Last night dream...hubs and I are in our living room, and there are two giant cracks in the ceiling. Like, these cracks are so big, I feel.the ceiling will surely fall in on us. He says he's gotta go to.Home Depot to get this and that to fix the ceiling (my husband is NOT handy) and I'm yelling, just get someone in to fix it. Like, actual professional craftsmen, who know how to repair a ceiling.
That actually sounds pretty tame compared to some of my dreams. I'm sorry I can't interpret it for you...the only thing I can think of is that there is an issue in your life that you feel unsupported by him with? Or like you can't trust him with it? I dunno.

I once dreamed I was walking through a park and there were all these Monkeys sitting on the playground equipment, glaring at me. Then they started detaching their genitals and throwing them at me, at which point said genitals significantly enlarged and stuck to me.

Life is falling in on you/you're overwhelmed. You need help or a break and dh although he's doing what he can it's not enough support
You're probably missing your brother, even more so the past week and you're worrying about your father
Sending HUGS
❤️
HUGS the falling in I did read in a book,, lots of things about falling and a short mention of things falling on you. Weird what you can remember from a book read forever ago. The rest was sadly easy to guess DOUBLE HUGS

OK, you can keep the monkeys.

As to the unsupported, you're not far off. The rehab facility that my dad's in is dead center between my house and my office. 15/20 minutes from either. So I visit him every day, unless I have some personal or business engagement that doesn't allow. I bring him a mug of Irish (Barry's, if you're familiar) tea and a green salad (Iettuce, tomato, scallions, Ken's french dressing) because he enjoys the heck out of both. It makes my dad's day to get his tea and his salad, and he is so proud that he's the only person in the rehab that gets a visitor every damn day. Although I do notice that the most frequent visitors are daughters. And we daughters take our parents' laundry, even though the facility is supposed to do it. I'm still up at this ungodly hour because when I visited my dad after work today, his hamper was full, and I'm going on holiday starting Saturday, so I'm doing his wash now. ;

I'm still working, I go to the office at least 3x a week. My hubs is retired. Often I work from home in the morning, and then stop by dad's rehab on the way into the office, telling dad that "I'm on my lunch" so I can get away after an hour. Dad loves the outdoors, and the facility is not sufficiently staffed that an aide can take him outside and sit with him for a while. So when I've been working all morning, and I'm getting ready to go, I think it would be very helpful if I didn't have to ask for help with the tea-making or the salad-making. I know that if our roles were reversed, I would have the flask of tea and the salad makings ready for when he needed to go, so I'm just torn and sad that I have to ask for help with those things, that he wouldn't just up and help, considering that yard or house work is all that he has to do.

Ergo, the ceiling falling and him wanting to go to Home Depot instead of calling a professional. 😂

And, super annoying, I'm going on my once annual Girls Cruise next week, starting on Saturday. It's my get away from everything that I've enjoyed for over ten years now. I've been telling my dad all week (and I hung a calendar in his room with notes) that I'll be gone from Saturday to the following Friday--and even though my husband will take on the daily visits while I'm gone, today dad told me that (1) he'd miss me very much while I'm away and (2) I'd been going on this trip every year for more than ten years so (3) I deserved it, but the part that really teed me off was that (4) he said I could go with his blessing. REALLY, dad, really? You're the only person in the facility who gets a daily visit, and yeah, you're grateful for it, which I appreciate, but at my age I do NOT need your blessing to take a vacation, and by gum, I certainly do deserve it.






Sorry all, thanks for "listening". :)
