It's not about perfection, it's about progress - that's my favorite motto. I also like to think about the choices I'm making today and whether I'd be ashamed of them tomorrow, in 3 months, 6 months, 15 years, etc. or whether I'd be proud of the me I am today and the choices I'm making. I always try to make "future me"…

Who doesn't? Irish and Scottish men....ooooh the brogue :::shivers::: amirite?

Well, what I don't know can't kill me, right? Wait...

A TON of reasons for that too. My favorite is that calling someone a "Cherokee Princess" was the nice way of saying they were mixed white/black in the South back in the day. So...there are an awful lot of people with a great great grandmother that was a Cherokee Princess...even though there's absolutely no such thing as…

I'd rather you send me some of those Iranian kebabs! om nom nom nom

100% Bada$$

You may be right. I guess time will tell. I don't know if there are varying degrees of the disease and I have a light case, or if I've built up a tolerance over time, or if it's just secretly doing damage and I'll regret it later - it just doesn't seem to affect me overly much. A few small annoyances here and there, but…

I tried to learn to impress my hubs - he spent some time in that general area and picked up some words/phrases. I tried a CD - it was beyond difficult. Very different from English. Kudos for knowing both so well.

Yes! That's exactly it. Is fa-tee-day a different dialect or they just saying it wrong? MY MIL and her sister are Syrian - the first generation born in America and their parents wanted them to learn English so insisted on speaking it in the home...so its entirely possible they are mispronouncing. I'm so hungry for this now…

Oh good gravy. My MIL's sister cooks the best kebabs and some other stuff that I can pronounce, but can't spell for the life of me. Shadiya? It's like rice and noodles mixed...dunno, soooo good. And something they call "fah-tee-day"...but I *think* it's fatayer? Again, dunno - like a spanikopita only a doughier crust.…

:laugh: Yeah, I'm assuming you get that a lot - you live on a fairly small island so you *must* know so-and-so. I get a similar question when someone finds out I'm part of a minority ethnic group. I've often been asked, "OH! Do you know ___?". Cracks me up every time.

...he also ordered a drink that is common in the states and was one of his favorites. The pub fell silent. Took him a while to realize his mistake. He'd ordered an "Irish Car Bomb". The bartender recovered quickly and probably saved my bf's behind - asked him what that was. Guinness with a shot of bailey's. He said they…

I've been to Ireland for a quick trip, so yeah, basically a native. Beautiful country! First thing I said as I was driving through the country side is "OMG, it really DOES look like the post cards". The patchwork green fields - just gorgeous. Stayed at a B&B in County Cork....the one with the grey horse out front. If you…

The napkins.

This is awesome. Our group started out in a campaign of our DM's imagination and moved to Castle Ravenloft a few months ago. I hope we can all stay together that long. Enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would.

Anyone on the east coast been to eStarland? That place is like walking back into my childhood. All the old cartridge game systems, button smasher arcade games, etc - all set up so you can actually play them. I :heart: that place. I lost an afternoon playing a fighting game with some beastman character and a female fighter…

I have Celiacs and was told to stay away from gluten years ago. Whatever man, you can't tell me what to do. I eat what I want. I'm not going to be scared by a slice of bread. :laugh:

...bump. I need some nerd to get me through this day.

It does exist. I read an article about some place in...Africa? I think...? The women were force fed like geese for foie gras. The men would only marry very obese women - the silver of the stretch marks was highly prized as a beautiful feature. A man with a very heavy wife was admired because he must be so wealthy to be…

Oh drool! I use hummus instead of mayo on sandwiches, I use it as a dip for veggies...I've eaten it with a spoon right out of the container.... My M-I-L is 100% Syrian and...well, she can't cook at all, but her sister can and OHMIGAWD can this woman make hummus to DIE for. It's unreal. ....I really want hummus now.

Saddest story I've ever heard. :sad:

Are you two saying this is a real thing?? Where does this happen? ETA: Nevermind, just googled it. Mother of gawd that looks good.

:laugh: :laugh: I don't think so...but I'd give it a go. ETA: Just creeped the photos. Changing my answer from "I don't think so", to "Definitely no". But I'd still give it a try. Could be fun.

And then there were dragons.

That's a really tiny hand.

You are smart and I like you.

I beat you to it! :laugh:

Awww, you're toats adorbs! ...but yes, without breaking a sweat lol :heart: ETA: But I wouldn't feel good about it!

Oh my god, where have you been all my life tiny little piece of s'more bliss?? :smooched:

Take the pictures! It'll make the success story you post later more visually interesting. :wink:
