STOP IT ALREADY!

[Leah]

Well over here Road Rage and People Rage is an offence, hence legalities.

Thinking of what Kelly shared about the man getting out and shooting the guy -- and over the pond here at the moment we have the shock of the man killed in a Rage in a supermarket queue.

Please Izzy, don't read anything into what I say, eh?

I write only what I am saying, as I mentioned the other day.

Thanks ever so much.

Love, Leah

Thanks Leah,

I wasn't reading anything into your posts, permanently. I was asking for clarification for self.

Now I understand and I also have fun understanding boot/trunk, bonnet /hood etc. and am still quite innocent of some terms used in a British Film. I just watched "Keeping Mum".  British mystery novels I can spot by the style of the book, before even checking the font inside.

Some things are just different  and I want to understand.
sincerely
Izzy

Yes, it is fun reading posts by those in the UK.  You guys use words in different ways and also spell thinks differently as well.  My dad is full blood English so I am very interested in you all....

Thanks Kelly,

I try my best to remember to run spellcheck each time I post so that my spelling is US, and not UK.    Our punctuation is different too.    US use --      UK only one -    between -- words in sentences.

Oh, your dad is full blood English, bless.    As for my dad. before he met my mother, he went over to US to live and work, but, for some reason he did not settle and remain.   Funny old world I think.

His mother's maiden name was Popplewell.  English, I believe....

[Leah]

Oh, righty oh, Izzy

Yes, says I chuckling, boot/trunk and bonnet/hood ... I do know what you mean.   And I can well understand what you mean by British mystery novels.  

I so enjoyed watching Police Squad with Leslie Nielsen a few years ago -- with his brilliant and funny send up of words and meaning -- laughed so much.

Love, Leah

Hi Kelly,

It is English = I have some Ancestry software and looked up Popplewell for you:

English (West Yorkshire): habitational name from any of several places so named in West Yorkshire, for example in the parish of Cleckheaton. The second element is Old English well(a) ‘spring’, ‘stream’; the first may be popel ‘pebble’, or a word meaning ‘bubbling spring’.

Cool...........we are going to a family reunion..............of course the pure bred English has been "tainted" with lots of other ancestary............my mom is more a Heinz 57 mixed bag..............but my dad, like I said pure English.............I want to go visit Europe as soon as I can afford to...it will be interesting to meet all my cousins.......

I wonder..........do English people tend to have dark brown hair and blue eyes and be very tall???

Wow
 That sounds neat, Kelly!        Ami

Off to New Jersey with a day trip to Manhatten.............wish my mom was not going.  I would love to go on the Sex and the City tour........

[Ami]

Did you watch Sex in the City, Kelly?

[Overcomer]

Yes all six seasons and the movie!  I am hooked!

[Ami]

I only saw a few episodes, but I could see how you would get hooked. They were very funny and real about emotions. Do you agree, Kelly?
 Did you ever see the Sporano's?    Ami
