I don't trust your opinion. Sorry.

What about opinions on everything that is untrendy?

He's also a terrorist.

Yeah still gross. Sorry your kids have poor taste.

I am right side up, thank you very much, Mr Wes.

Amy.

Doesn't matter when you add the pasta and boil the water. Mac n cheese is always going to be gross either way.

If I had a pet dragon, she would probably be called Bernice.

In Australia, if someone "lucked out" it would be the same as saying they were out of luck. But I have heard Americans use the phrase "lucked out" to mean they were lucky. I am generally pretty good at translating between English and American, but when meanings are completely backwards it is tricky!

This may or may not have been the weather mimicking my birthday yesterday...

My neurologist once told me I have a 'fantastic-looking brain'. When things get tough, I like to remind myself of this fact.

Please don't taste your lamps. It is not good for your health.

p.s. Americans, stop adding an extra 'r' sound that doesn't exist. 'or' is a digraph. 2 letters making one sound, not two.

or - corn
ore - snore
au - sauce
augh - caught
aw - lawn
awe - awesome
oor - door
al - walk
ough - thought
ure - sure
a - water
our - course
oar - board

Bonus:
ou're - you're
ea - Sean

These all make the same sound, and if you disagree, you are wrong.

Right. Time for an education. The phoneme /or/ can be represented by at least 13 different graphemes in the English language, the most common of these being 'or' as in 'corn'. But the letters au spell the sound /or/, also.

Well then you say them wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️

There is only one correct side.

Wrong.

I mean, they definitely do not rhyme.

Americans are really out there trying to convince the world that "criss-cross, apple sauce" rhymes. 🫤

Those near misses can be hard to shake. Glad you are ok and praying for peace over your anxious heart.

Happy birthday Amy!!!!! 💕

Today's garden haul. Home grown tomatoes are 1000% better than store bought. And plenty to share with friends! 😍
(Plus a few peppers and chillis thrown in for good measure)

Incubate and hatch a baby chicken?

But if people wait for a pandemic to try awesome things, they are a little bit silly. A

It wasn't a pandemic thing. Aussie food is awesome all the time. Having a great day? Eat some Vegemite. Caught up in a world altering plague? Eat Vegemite. President ruining your country? Have some Vegemite. Vegemite makes everything better.

I like to throw in an "all y'all" every now and then, just to keep things interesting. But then I'll probably use "Crikey" in the next sentence to restore equilibrium.

I say "ya'll" regularly. But I have an American husband and many American friends, and I use it as a friendly but subtle dig at them. Like when I used the word "Tom-ay-toes" yesterday. It sounds ridiculous. But it's fun to speak in silly ways sometimes.

I just found a "Congratulations on the birth of your baby" card that I forgot to give my friend. That baby is now 6...
