@Catwing Good job 😀

Is Alex still burning things?

@catwing

I got 546. How did you go?

@catwing yep!

@catwing

No we don’t have thanksgiving. 😛

Definitely! Fifteen minutes? Let me go get some essentials and then I’ll be ready.

@valtmy

All righty! I’ll see you then. The only things I have to do today is clean up a lot and write a lot, so I should be here then.

@jenwriter17

Aw, oh well 🙂

@seekjustice Sorry, I can’t come on right now; busy prepping for our Thanksgiving celebration tomorrow. 🙂

@Catwing

Still here? I’m behind so I need a bit of encouragement (aka, chocolate and word wars).

@rochellaine @valtmy @jenwriter17

Anyone else?

@seekjustice Perhaps.  I’ve heard that the British do not excessively display flags either except on national holidays, though, so I kind of think it may be just an American thing.  Not that Americans are necessarily more patriotic than others, just that we more outwardly and excessively display and rejoice in our patriotism. 😉

To clarify: I d…[Read more]

@rochellaine

We were a nation for quite a while before we had a flag other than the Union Jack, so maybe that’s got something to do with it?

Yeah, I definitely wouldn’t. And I’d argue that as a restorer of historical documents, her job description does not include staying with people who kidnapped you in order to protect it.

Don’t worry, I know…[Read more]

@bluejay Nope, I don’t have it.  Sorry. 🙁  But that sounds like an interesting business to have!

@seekjustice That sounds like a fun game.

Yeah, we’ve got flags everywhere.  American flags, state flags, sometimes other flags as well, for organizations, always placed under the American and state flags.  And if you go down South you do have the…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Maybe we just don’t play it in our family. we tend to play a game where we all choose a brand of car and tally up the numbers that drive past, and whoever gets the most wins 😀

Well, Australians are definitely much less up there on the flags. Only government buildings and the odd private house has a flag (though, there’s a house in…[Read more]

@catwing @rochellaine @bluejay I have to run now. 🙁 See ya later!

@catwing By eight words! 😛 Congratulations.

@bluejay Cool, what’s the business?

@catwing I got 241 words.  How about you?

@bluejay Ah, that makes me feel better for Australians.  I’m glad you have the alphabet game. 😉  That’s funny though, that you find X to be a hard letter.  We can easily find it on all the “Exit” signs along the highways.  X is one of the absolute easiest letters to find.  I’ve never heard of “quote” signs.  @seekjustice do you have any idea…[Read more]

@rochellaine Yes, Thanksgiving! Do you have special traditions for this holiday? That’s great that you’ll get to see your brother. 🙂

Yes, they are. I’m just the second oldest, and my brother (23) is doing college online so he’s home.

@bluejay I love Chuck Black books too! 😀 Do you have a favorite one?

I don’t have Instagram, but I hope to at some point, so I’ll check that out as soon as I do. 😉

@seekjustice Ah yes, Bottle-o was mentioned in the video as well.

The alphabet game is a game played in the car where you basically look at road signs, license plates, or anything you can see to find each letter of the alphabet in order.  I believe it’s one of the most common car games in America.  Since “q” is one of the least used letters, w…[Read more]

@catwing

Aw, well I’m glad Shadow is getting used to the idea of the kitten being around. 🙂

@rochellaine Hi! I feel like we haven’t been able to talk much lately. How are you?

@rochellaine

Bottle shops is the technical word, they are actually referred to as the “bottle-o” though.

I may need some clarification on the alphabet game.

😀 My brother and I were just discussing the difference between Aussie patriotism and US patriotism.
