[dragongirl]

yeah that was why I was saying that wouldn't help you

[badboyzII~86]

yeah, its like with my thumb. the first course of treatment would be to give me an asprin based anti-inflametory, but i can't take it. so all they can tell me to do is take something for the pain, and to ice it

Anyone here ever had a geoduck? They look a bit...ahem...'odd', if you catch my meaning...

[SeNedra]

Hi all

I haven't been here for a while, a bit busy but in a good way. I think I like my new job, I am still getting used to but finally I have all the keys I need, the other teachers remember me already and do not think I am a student It is getting better

I am creating my first test for tomorrow... This one shouldn't be so difficult - at least not for me, I hope the kids got it (it is partly mathematic...). I will see how it goes

Nice lists you have here I was laughing all the time. I think I can find something for Czech too, just not sure if already in English.

[DrJenniferDex]

Here's one for me.

You know you're from California when...

Spoiler:

Your monthly house payments exceed your monthly income.

You make over $300,000 and still can’t afford a house.

You take a bus and are shocked when two people carry on a conversation in English.

Your coworker has 8 body piercings and none are visible.

You speak Spanish, but you’re not Mexican.

Your child’s 3rd-grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring, and is named Flower.

You don’t know anyone’s phone number unless you check your cell phone.
I can't help that I'm stupid!

You’ve been to a baby shower that has two mothers and a sperm donor.

You have a very strong opinion about where your coffee beans are grown, and you can taste the difference between Sumatran and Ethiopian.

You begin to “lie” to your friends about how close you are when you know damn well that it’ll take you at least an hour to get there (see below).

Getting anywhere from point A to point B, no matter what the distance, takes about “twenty minutes.”

You drive to your neighborhood block party.

A really great parking space can totally move you to tears.

Gas is $1.00 per gallon more than anywhere else in the US
Unfortunately...

Unlike back home, the guy at 8:30 am at Starbucks wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses who looks like George Clooney really IS George Clooney.

You can’t remember … is pot illegal?

You pass an elementary school playground and the children are all busy with their cell phones or pagers.

It’s barely sprinkling rain outside, so you leave for work at least an hour early to avoid all the weather-related accidents.

Both you AND your dog have therapists, psychics, personal trainers and cosmetic surgeons.

You drive next to a Rolls Royce and don’t notice.

In the “winter,” you can go to the beach, ski at Big Bear, mow your lawn in your shorts and maybe get a sunburn all on the same day.

You eat a different ethnic food for every meal.

If your destination is more than 5 minutes away on foot, you’re definitely driving.

Calling your neighbors requires knowing their area code.

You know what “In-’N-Out” is and feel bad for the other states that don’t have any.
YES!!!

You don’t stop at a STOP sign, you do a California roll.
My grandpa hates it when I do that. He yells.

You’ve partied in Tijuana at least 3 times and you can’t remember at least 1 of them.

You go to a tanning salon before you go to the beach.

Your have a permanent impression on the side of your head from your cell phone.

You know that Venice is a beach.
A friend of mine lives there, and my mom is an hour away

The waitress asks if you want “carbs” in your meal.

You know who the tinsel underwear dude in Venice Beach is.

You classify new people you meet by their Area Code. An “818” would never date a “562” and so on…

You call 911 and they put you on hold.

You have a gym membership because it’s mandatory.

The gym is packed at 3pm … on a workday.

You think you are better than the people who live “Over the Hill.” It doesn’t matter which side of the hill your home is, you are just better than they are.

You know that if you drive two miles in any direction you will find a McDonald’s or a Starbucks.
Love it!

You know what “sigalert,” “PCB,” and “five” mean.

You can’t remember . . . is pot illegal?

It’s barely sprinkling rain and there’s a report on every news station: “STORM WATCH.”
Very true right now. Not even raining yet and we've got storm watch.

The Terminator is your governor.
Yup.

Especially nr. 15 is so true... Unfortunately for people who drive often or just don't like beer And 41 is definitely true too, I usually drink when I go somewher with my mum And can you just see me in 48?

[Blencathra]

These are all really funny.

I found one as well. Though I have to say I think it should read "You know you are a Londoner when..."

Spoiler:

You know you're British when...


You don't even bother looking out of the window when you get up in the morning to check what the weather is like. You know it is grey and overcast.

You consider a suit to be normal attire for the pub.

You expect men to actually cut, comb and style their hair (using hair products). And to wear decent clothes and moisturize daily.

You collapse with laughter when listening to the funny accent of the Aussie international telephone operator (or on TV!).

You think £40 for a haircut is quite reasonable.

You can't remember what 'customer service' means.

More than three hours sunlight on summer days seems excessive.

You don't think twice about tipping your hairdresser

You finish every sentence with 'Cheers' or 'Yeah'.

You only realise you have lost your sun glasses when you remember you left them in Greece 2 summers ago.

You like English cooking. After all, it's hard to beat a full English breakfast.

You are on to your 6th umbrella and your second overcoat... this year.

You buy disposable baby BBQs from Tesco.

A day at the beach means wearing the warmest clothes you own while standing on golf ball-size pebbles and the thought of swimming doesn't even enter your head.

You don't think twice about buying a sandwich wrapped in cellophane.

A sunny lunchtime means searching for a patch of grass and stripping off practically down to your underwear.

You've accepted queuing as a way of life. In fact you're proud of how good you are at it.

You believe that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday are all good nights for drinking. Sunday is also entirely reasonable.

After a big night out you find yourself looking for a curry house.

Coming to work with a hangover is entirely accepted and indeed expected at least once a week.

You're always half an hour late to work and no one notices or even cares.

You can actually give directions to tourists on Oxford Street!

You step over a drunk on the underground rather than offering to help them.

[badboyzII~86]

you know when you have one of those moments where you seem to staring blankly at something, and you haven't the will to finish it, but you also know it needs to be done. and you feel numb.

well thats me currently.

[Blencathra]

An appropriate Red Dwarf quote comes to mind....

Rimmer: My mind is so numb and brain-dead, I feel like I've just attended a 3 day seminar entitled 'The Future of Plumbing'.

[badboyzII~86]

Indeed

[Blencathra]

Hee.

What about when Rimmer took his astro-navigation exam.

RIMMER: "Last time I only failed by the narrowest of narrow margins."

LISTER: "You what? You walked in there, wrote, "I am a fish," four hundred times, did a funny little dance, and fainted."

[SeNedra]

Yup, BB, I definitely know that (having it every evening now when I have to prepare for next class ).

Blen, yours are good too It is interesting how some topics are repeting in the lists - British is about weather, our about beer and so on But on mine I was laughing at most about the bus drivers - they never stop when you want to cross, or at least I haven't met that one yet At your list I can agree with the queues. I was in London for a few days and I think I was waiting somewhere for most of the time

I still haven't seen the new SGU... Who knows why I have still something more interesting to do

[badboyzII~86]

You call this happiness? Surrounded by toadying lackeys and paid sycophants? Living with a love-goddess sex-bomb model megastar? You call this contentment? You know, I stand here now and I look at the two of us, and I ask one simple question: Who is the rich man? You, with your fifty-eight houses, your private island in the Bahamas, your multi-billion pound business empire; or me, with... with... with what, I've got. (Pause) It's you isn't it? Yes it's all very clear to me now. You -- richer and happier.

[Rac80]

Lol, i would take anything. *hugs*

Currently wearing my sunglasses in my room. Ive got work to do sadly. Got a meeting with a class group in about 80min or so. and i need to present something. so im working on it. im also out of pain tablets. just drinking water currently

try some caffeine sweetie... it relazes the muscles of your head and neck... coffee or caffinated soda if you can drink them.
