Least you got me between swigs of pepsi this time.  ;)
you,re a cracker Sapphire,lol!

Now that I understand!   :D

Believe me, when you grow up with family that is half Irish and half Scottish descent and the majority of those still spoke the Gaelic.........you can at times recall a lot of the 'good old tongue'. Mind you, the swear words were the ones to last longest in the memory banks. ;)
Old tongue!!...i,m an expert at old tongue...my grandad,came from Tipperary..and my gran was a second generation,Irish....and i was born in 1950...and was surrounded by Scottish/Irish...and everything that went with it,my dad was Ukrainian...what a mix...from the age 5 to 9,i did,nt know if i was coming or going...Bog Irish language..Scottish, and Russian....all together.....Oh, and i also know lots of swear words.....Irish/Scottish/Russian....but mostly Russian....lol!

I dragged my sorry A to work for 40 years. Now I only go from the kitchen to wherever I feel like sitting. I write for the internet and I smile when I see the NY traffic reports. It does take a lot of discipline however. Especially when the weather is gorgeous and the ocean is only ten minutes away.

Bigwull. I do work for a couple Ukrainians. Very difficult people to figure out. They seem like you have to pull a smile out of them.

Hang in there Bigwull, I know what you are saying. I'm doing great now, but three years ago I was bald, sick as hell and still dragging myself into work as I went through chemotherapy for breast cancer. In many ways this forum helped get me through that. It was a bright spot in my day and I could still be my "old self" here and talk antiques with good friends and not have to deal with the battered wreck that I had become. This forum is much more than a digital resource, but has in many ways become what has often described as an "antiques family".

I wholeheartedly agree,with you on the family side....i,ve only been here a tad over 2 weeks, yet its like i,ve been here forever...and am now part of the woodwork...the warm welcome that i received,and continue to receive...warms the cockles of my heart......and its activated parts of my brain that,were ...for so long in a state of hibernation...i have to say though that, there has been a few times when i,ve nearly put my muckle feet in it....thinking is he, a he, or is she, a she....then nearly calling he a she, and she, a he,.....now i,m getting confused...like you for instance ...i thought you were a he....but your a she,...and its nice of you to take the time to speak to me....

This is better than family...at least here you don't have to worry about anyone showing up unannounced for an extended visit. :D

Oh! i,ve been there...an old friend who i had,nt seen for nigh on 5 years appeared at our door one night....how he found us is still a mystery to us,as we.d moved twice since last speaking to him....he had a suitcase in hand...and invited himself in..and a week later...he ceased to be an old friend.....
