Someone has too
Hola hookers! Just found out that Sara is doing AIDS walk. So, 45,000 people... Think I can get close? heh.
Opinion... My bff wants to know about wearing a RENT shirt to AIDS walk? Completely dorky? lol
Was anyone invited to dinner on 7/19?
Amber, not as dorky as wearing it to RENT.
Oh, and I killed that Chess thread. They're all like "stupid American twit!"
Go back and say "oh yeah? Well, you guys like Marmite." That'll show 'em.
Shamey - love ya dear, but I've gotta side with the Brits on this one. And no, I don't eat marmite. I have NO idea what Marmite is. But I am latin, if that helps ...
Ha ha... good answer Shamey. Some chick had on a Mark scarf last week. Good times.
Marmite (pronounced [/ˈmɑːmaɪt/]) is the name given to two similar food spreads, a British version produced in the United Kingdom and South Africa and the other in New Zealand. Marmite is made from yeast extract, a by-product of beer brewing, and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
The British version of the product is a sticky, dark brown paste with a distinctive, powerful flavour, which is extremely salty and savoury with umami qualities, comparable to soy sauce. This distinctive taste is reflected in the British company's marketing slogan: "Love it or hate it." It is similar to the Australian Vegemite and Swiss Cenovis. Bovril is a similar-looking spread made from beef extract.
The distinctive product was originally British, but a version with a noticeably different taste has been manufactured in New Zealand since 1919, and this is the dominant version in New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands.
The image on the front of the British jar shows a "marmite", a French term for a large, covered earthenware or metal cooking pot.[1] The British Marmite was originally supplied in earthenware pots, but since the 1920s has been sold in glass jars that approximate the shape of such pots.[2] A thinner version in squeezable plastic jars was introduced in March 2006.
I might have been happier before Marmite entered my world.
erm ... I have a Harry Potter scarf. How high does that rank in the dork-a-meter?
your fine dd, your still less dorky then 90% of the main board
How about some Bovril, Harris?
Bovril is the trademarked name of a thick, salty beef extract, sold in a distinctive, bulbous jar. It is made in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire and distributed by Unilever UK.
It can be made into a drink by diluting with hot water. It can also be used as a flavouring for soups, stews or porridge, or spread on bread, especially toast, rather like Marmite.
The first part of the product's name comes from Latin bos (genitive bovis) meaning "ox" or "cow".
There's still that other 10%.
DD, I love you too, but even the Brits in that thread are divided on Idina. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt until I hear a good recording or see the DVD. Don't you start with me, Mister!
I just heard from Shira. She's okay.
Whew!
Great news! Was it gas? I kid. And please don't answer that.
She didn't say what it was, just that she's fine.
Just read back ... you're such a good fgf, deet.
Yeah, I was kidding, Deet. I wouldn't expect you to post it either way.
I wouldn't:
1: want to know
2: post it if I did
And thanks, DD, I take those responsibilities very seriously. Sometimes to Shira's (very vocal) displeasure.
Yeah I got the text saying she was perfectly ok as well. yeehaw.
*big sigh of relief*
Morning/Afternoon Adults!
Glad to know she's well and well looked after.
Princesses with hangnails. Sheesh.
You should never try to second guess abdominal pain. Could have been appendicitis or any other number of serious problems.
I will never forget the day my poor mother doubled over in pain and wasn't able to speak and hardly able to breath. We called emergency and the paramedics came and they took her to the hospital and .....
Well, we still refer to it as the day she had her 'fart attack'.
Ha! That had that storyline on ER one night. The woman thought she was dying and then um... expelled a massive amount of gas and was just fine.
