The Official Weekend Single's Thread ---May 26 -29 (Memorial Weekend US - Spring Bank Holiday Weekend UK)
Posted by Snugs;proud_yank
This weekend in America is Memorial Weekend a time when Americans honour their military dead.
In tha case, mind stopping over and taking a look at our setup? My hairdryer seems to be shorting out the whole place. Can't figure how or why. We've tried turning off every appliance first, but to no avail.
DC?
Hmmm....well, I guess everything is ok. I'm sorta kinda out of town!
:-)
Oh . . . so how is Rockin? ;-)
Hmmm...the last time I drove to DC, I think it was about 8 hours. So...it takes a while but at least I'll still be conscious when we get there.
He'd be much better if I hadn't commandeered his computer!
Will do :) I already asked to be added to the DC ping list. I'd really like to do some FReeping in DC, if I'm not studying or working nonstop.
I'm sure he'll get over it. Tell him 'hi' for me.
LOL!
He says hi!
He's tied up at the moment (and not in a fun way!)....
Are the majority of your breakers GFI'S??
If so, that would probably explain things.
So what's on the agenda for the rest of your "Bank Holiday" weekend?
(said through Hoodie)
GFI...what? How do I tell? (All greek to me)
A question -
Last year the cemetary near me had it's usual Memorial Day services (it has a large military section). Ok. However, it also had a hayride and hotdogs. This is in the cemetary. Apparently it is something they do often, but not always.
I went up there and darned if folks weren't riding around the cemetary and eating hot dogs. I've never seen this before.
Has anyone ever heard of doing this in a cemetary before? It seemed weird, but on the other hand, the cemetary is a nice green place in the city, it was a nice day for a hotdog outdoors, so maybe it's not so bad. They did have the regular service, so I guess it wasn't completely disrespectful. Thoughts?
OK all, food will be coming soon.
I'm signing of to give RR a chance to sign on an check his account.
Good night everyone! Behave! :-)
Would it help if I said this place was built in the early 50's? Don't think the electricity has been updated much since then.
Hi Max!
(and everyone else)
Popping in to say hi! Off to have some pizza...
Seems rather odd, BUT not disrespectful if the ride stays on the main thoroughfare and does not trounce into the grass near graves. I think if the people aren’t getting wild, being loud, and acting stupid, it should be just fine. No reason to be 100% solemn in a graveyard.
Bye Hoodie. Hi RR.
In English I assume you are upgrading the version of Linux but the stupid sheep bit looses me LOL.
Probably not. Because it is parklike, people walk and job on the paths during the day. The folks on the hayride were very low key, so no behavior problems. It just seemed an odd thing to do in a cemetary, on Memorial Day.
