I drank some African rum that a neighbor, who was an international flight attendant, brought back from one of her flights, once. She gave me a couple of shots.

Most brides want heavy caked on makeup apparently. I don't know why.

Will be interesting to see where it is in two months when I go. I wonder if that also means hotel rates will go down since the exchange rate is better. I should check.

The human race has been like a green plant growing ...and is in the process of blooming. But, I learned that yesterday as well!

Could be... Right now they are not passing on the discount when exchanging dollars to pounds. I just checked and it's the same rate as last week! Guess they've got to wait and see. FYI I now get my ? at home at TDBank. They have the best rates near me by far! You don't have to have an account and its 24 hours. These banks say they're not charging you any money, but I've found its 10?/dollar!! If you look at the actual exchange rate and then go in and check the price. If you use your ATM or credit card, the fees associated are steep! Something like $3 Per transaction and then a percentage. You really have to go in and check it out! Some people at the bank have told me the wrong info. For example, my bank is in England, and someone told me my withdrawals are free in England too! NOT!!! They are fr eaking out at the moment, like you said, give it a few weeks!

Thanks for the info about TDBank. I'll keep an eye out on the exchange rate in the coming weeks, things may settle a bit after the shock today. I used my debit card a bunch a few years back in the U.K. and the fees really weren't bad at all, but I use a credit union. Not sure if that makes a difference though.

Maybe the credit union has better deals? Strangely enough, a woodcut that van Gogh really admired has gone up for sale...got a print of of his repainting of it in oils, in the van Gogh Museum! Utagawa Hiroshige ~ Sudden Shower over Shin-Ohashi Bridge It just surprised me that the Van Gogh museum is not buying it!

My dream wedding would be no makeup, comfortable clothes and a cake that's more cake than fondant.

Being on Sid Vicious or Sex Pistol mode is not always a good thing. Especially, if you go outside or enter an Internet cafe. Next time, I'll just keep cool, walk like a sheep and never mind the bollocks.

Walmart pulled yet another bait & switch. Online they advertised a sale on Lee Riders short. In store, there was no sale. Regular price.

Wondering why it seems that the ocean is completely covered in clouds during all my recent trips? This seems strange, that I can never see any ocean water at all. Can never see Greenland, which was quite melted, the last time I managed to see it...

The idiot that broke 2 lug nuts off our minivan also screwed up a few other things & we're very, very lucky the wheel didn''t come off while we were driving it.

^ That is good news! Was not aware of Microbeads and the havoc they cause, especially in the ocean !! Have written down the nsmes to look for in my cleaning products Polymethelyne, Polypropylene, Polyethelyne Terephthalate and Polymethyl Methacrylate! There's a petition on this link, if you are interested! http://storyofstuff.org/movies/lets-ban-the-bead/
