Welcome back, navane, and best wishes! Are you working on expunging "petrol," "lift," and (car) "boot" from your vocabulary

Well, I'm not actively trying to delete the vocabulary from my brain. I do occassionally use a British term and don't realize it until someone asks me what I mean or just giggles or something.

Have you found any grocery stores that sell microwaveable bubble and squeak or kidney pies ?

I haven't really been into the grocery stores! We have the strike deal going on here. Though, I'm pretty certain that I won't be able to find bubble and squeak or steak and kidney pies here! My English boyfriend, who is still out there, *loves* beef jerky and desperately wants me to send him some!

And most importantly, or so I gather from the US media, were you able to bring back copies of every tabloid piece of gossip, innuendo, accusation, and name-calling about the Royal Family and its spouses, ex-spouses, dalliances, and hired hands ?

heheheheh no, not really; but hey, last month I got invited to attend dinner at Lambeth Palace, home of the Archbishop of Canterbury. He wasn't home at the time, this was a dinner sponsored by the Romanovs (yes, the Russian royals). Can you believe that?!?! Me, of all people?!?! I'm a total nobody, but due to my connections in the Polish community, I got an invite. Talk about having the full-blown English experience!

I know it sounds farfecthed, but no, I am not making this up. (I have photographic evidence, not to mention that the back of my boyfriend's head and the bottom of my dress appeared in Hello! magazine!) Anyway, there were a few...uhm...."interesting" European royals there; but you won't see any gossip books from me anytime in the near future!

Good wishes for AI !

Thanks!

Hmmmmmm, but in the course of your AI quest no one needs to know you're a nobody. I mean, at a tea or picnic or BBQ when you're politely raving about the food or decorations, you can just happen to mention that the sandwiches / canapes / burgers are so much tastier than the things the Grand Duke / Grand Duchess served at the palace a few months ago . . .

Heh....anything would taste better than the canapes they were serving!.....

Um, did anyone else's head go to a bad place trying to figure out what that picture must look like?

Welcome back to the good ol' USA, Navane -- hope the fires are staying away from you there in San Diego (my folks live in TierraSanta & had to be evacuated - very scary) -- I would love to meet you in person and hear your whole AI saga -- I will be in San Diego over the Xmas holidays...I don't even know what group(s) you are pursuing, but if you need help with Gamma Phi Beta.....let me know! there are a few GC'ers who can vouch for me being a good helper in that regard

By the way, Tom did not drop you for me I think he wants us both -- he is such a greedy guy!! bwahahahaha!

Uhm.....no. (!!!!!)




To fend off any bad rumors about where my bf's face was, here is that picture scanned in from Hello! magazine with my commentary:





Plus, to "prove" it really is my dress and his bum, here we are in one of our own personal photos (Neil first on left with me second from left):




So, hmph! No naughtiness going on there!

[breathesgelatin]

Do the Romanovs still have any money? Or are they just normal people with royal titles?

Sorry for the hijack... but that is supercool that you got that experience!

Oh yes, we were only in danger on Sunday - we're safe now. I live 10 mins from Tierrasanta and when they were hit, we were concerned the fire would come our way.

This will sound geeky, but I did remember you previously mentioning to me that your parents lived there. I did think about them and hoped they were ok. My family also has a friend who lives in Tierrasanta and we were concerned for her too!

I would love to meet you in person and hear your whole AI saga -- I will be in San Diego over the Xmas holidays...I don't even know what group(s) you are pursuing, but if you need help with Gamma Phi Beta.....let me know! there are a few GC'ers who can vouch for me being a good helper in that regard

That would be nice! PM me whenever you plan to be in town!

By the way, Tom did not drop you for me I think he wants us both -- he is such a greedy guy!! bwahahahaha!

I suppose, but, I don't share! I don't want to have another SAEactive situation on my hands....
