Actually before at the sight of it, during as it strikes you and after as the real pain starts. Cat-o-nine tail is one of the nastier English navel inventions. Along with keel hauling.

114553 My mother use to use nincompoop all the time and you made your bed no lay in it. The one that use to flummox me as a kid was don't look a gift horse in the mouth. I always asked why is it going to bite me. Horses have huge teeth and I didn't like them. I also kept looking for the gift horse.

In Texas Little women is women who are your kin.

114553 Hmmmm, dealing with HMRC no wonder you are feeling drained worn out and out of sorts. I would go off to whittle spoons to, Yes I've seen the commercial as well LOL. I prefer the sisters singing.

114553 Gauntlet thrown and hits my foot now limping badly, confusticate and be bothered with it. (The Hobbit Bilbo to the dwarves after the tell him it is now time he accomplishes the job he was originally enlisted into the group).

I think we need to deliberate the depth of our meanings. do we want shallow meanings or do we want to sink into the depth of insanity to get our meanings to the ength (sp) degree.

Groovy I don't have to pay the Premiums for Obamacare, being retired military my health care is covered by the Military. I am one of the last few to get that kind of cover. Now they have to plan for there health care as well as everything else. Yes I still get paid in dollars and still pay taxes. Because of the Status of forces agreement with the US and England my healthcare is covered here. I am also a resident of the UK so I am covered that way as well. In 7 years I will start to collect Social Security, Yahoo. I could do it at 62 but I still have a mortgage and can't afford to pay the penalty for working full time and collecting social security.
