However, despite me being half Scandinavian Midwestern stock, and thus partly taciturn, the drunken Irish half seems to predominate, making all fights scopeless and unfettered by reason.<BR/><BR/>Thus, the second kind of sparks usually lead to things being said that ensure the first kind of sparks will never again fly.paperback readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05200353078639769169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33559037.post-16270655761733507812009-01-26T12:45:00.000-06:002009-01-26T12:45:00.000-06:00My mom used to put macaroni noodles IN chili all t...My mom used to put macaroni noodles IN chili all the time, and it was mighty, mighty good. <BR/><BR/>I have only recently (like, in the last 3 days) discovered the Flight of the Conchords, and I am in love.

The argument over cleaning a big fat bird dropping off the car finally did it.I often think if that bird knew, it would have pointed it's rear end in a completley different direction.I really enjoyed this because today was our 28th wedding anniversary and I could relate to everything here.So funny.Come by and pick up an award I have for you Jocelyn because your blog is just great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33559037.post-6822179938824524392009-01-24T16:39:00.000-06:002009-01-24T16:39:00.000-06:00He did not see that in Gourmet, although it may ha...He did not see that in Gourmet, although it may have been in a culinary Book of the Dead.<BR/><BR/>If you figure out your digital camera, please let me know.

And for some reason we always wind up with the friends who fight ALL THE TIME.<BR/><BR/>Once, we went to Budapest to visit some of the aforementioned friends, and when Hubby parked the car there was no room for me to get out. I said, "Um, you're too close on this side." And he was like "Fine! I'm too close." He backed up and said, "Are you happy now? You can get out of the car!" And my friend said, "YAY! They're going to fight!!!" I said, "Thank you. I can get out."<BR/><BR/>She was disappointed.<BR/><BR/>But she's never seen us clean.

Now that was highly commendable and probably a first for any male to think of doing that. I've never known one to think of dirty dishes while getting a snack or meal. Come to think of it, none of the females I raised ever thought of that either. <BR/>And do your students (some of 'em) actually cite Wikipedia? I gotta shake my head in utter disbelief at that one.
