very nice. Deb apparently has started smoking and her clothes gave me an asthma attack (little embarrassing).. But, all the kids were there and everyone was in a great mood.. My uncle tried to bribe me into telling him where my aunt hid the roles (again) .. Amy brought her big old dogs over as well for me to take photos of for one of my boss's that for some crazy reason thinks he wants a Neo Mastiff.. .. kids are getting bigger and I want them to stop.. Even little Joe is crawling around and speaking in the baby babble.. Abby-girl updated her list of things we have to do when I finally come home (she now has me riding horses ).. and the usual toddler won't potty train, one husband is being a darlin' while another is in the dog house.. what dating drama from the slightly younger crowd that was off again is now on again... it's hard to keep up and I feel guilty for not remembering that Brook's tooth that was loose is now a hole in her smile, my aunt has decided I need to cook... .. I got my new red glasses and a pink razor phone... and I got to drive home in a blizzard, my fault for wanting to take three of the girls to the movies yesterday... That's about it.. Oh, and now i'm thinking I should move to San Diego next year... just for the winter..

I tried, it was very late at the end of a very long day... sorry Dave i'll work on it... .. By the way I asked my boss he says that cockney is an English dialect spoken by folks that don't have a lot of education or money.. or those that are on the other side of the tracks... is that true? I kind of imagined it as being an accent from a certain region of England? hmm... America has lots of accents but all of ours are based on where you live.. that makes the most sense to me anyway... ..

It's kind of like American Ebonics. It started out in poor uneducated areas and then just became a distinctive for a group of people......

I picked out ducks, something about somebody's bum and you love me?... .. I unfortunately can't go to any links on this computer so I have to wait til I get home.... but, if it's possible i'm more clueless now.. did I mention I don't speak American slang very well?..

Uncle Fred says "Lawd above! Lor' luv a duck. Takin' fruff 'is sproose caboose. , innit." and I still don't know what it means??

My boss is from England and shared a few phrases with me while we are in London... far from expert, I am...

Okay, so I get it now... I was right and so was my boss... But, what the heck did you say?...

My Lord, love a Duck. He's talking through his bottom. Do you understand?
