They went to their frig to see how many beers they still had.
Wellden...that esplains it! Thanks!
Bryan’s parents came over on the Queen Mary when he was 3 years old,
and they went through the Panama Canal and berthed in Long Beach.
They quickly moved near Santa Monica, a hotbed of British subjects who
liked to get together to eat, drink, and dance.
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan’s parents settled in Culver City, where Bryan and his
brother, Christopher (who was a Gerber baby) grew up.
They made it a point to go to The Britannia Club every Saturday night
to eat, drink, and dance. Bryan and I went on occasion as well.
Chris brought his gal pal a few times as well, but after she dumped him,
we introduced him to our secretary at work, and they ended up getting
married. Then Bryan and I got married, and we all had a ball.
Wow, that’s interesting!
That is fun and interesting! Thanks for that! (I think I must be an Anglophile...)
How are the Chicklets today?
I was here but then I had to go do some food shopping.
I know precisely and exactly how many beers I have in the frig, (fridge).
Zero. Zip, zero, nada. Nothing. No beers. I have a drinking problem.
No beers. That is to say that my drinking problem is that I have no beers to drink.
"Thanks", 0bama. Whether he had anything to do with it or not, I'm blaming him.
I guess Long Beach got tired of the Queen and shipped her off to Puget Sound.
They also got rid of Howard Hughes’s Hercules plane (so called, The Spruce
Goose), and Bryan and I saw footage of her last flight.
I’m not sure whether they moved the giant dome that was in Long Beach, but if
so, it’s probably in Washington State as well.
You are forgiven! LOL!
Some days, the Undead Thread is actually pretty dead, so we have to make our own fun.
I am an anglophile
I loved reading any stories about the immigrants from Britain.
Ha! You mean the Undead thread is just dead?
See, that is my drinking problem as well...there are no beers left in my fridge, so that is a real problem. If I have the money tomorrow, I will see that my fridge is stocked with the bubbly brew.
Life sucks without brewskies.
My only drinking problem is when I run out of iced tea.
I May kneed a sig sense some prig picted on my frig.
You can have all the beers you want, just give me tea!
Wow. Thanks. I saw the Spruce Goose, too, on the same trip when I saw the Queen Mary, but I must have had my head in the sand when the news came of the transfer of the two icons. That just makes me sorry I wasn’t paying attention.
Thanks, TOL.
(Dang. That stinks.)
Bobbie has not fully recovered.
She still has the UTI, but we’re dosing her with Batril, one of only two drugs that work on UTIs.
She has chronic renal failure, but we have her on a diet of Royal Canin renal-support cat food,
canned and dry.
She also has diabetes caused by her UTI, which thrives on sugar, but we’re giving her insulin
per the vet’s instructions, and we hope that she recovers soon.
Midnight, Tootsie, and Shadow are all fine.
Thank you for asking, dear.
Iced tea is never as good as I expect, even if I brew it myself. Not to mention how hard it is on the kidneys...
Well, I can’t have soda, well, there is always juice and water.
