    giving and great family time to. We have lights around the fireplace and it looks great when

  10. HAPe4me thanks, it would be nice to chat to you,

    i have a great friend in alaska and we are 9 hours apart, or should i say i am 9 hours ahead of her

    so maybe you can work it out from there, dont know where the east coast is sorry lol :P geography was

    never my longsuit :redface:

    it was digi that told me about this site, a wonderful friend that stays awake for me to talk to her

    but more than two would be great, believe to chat soon

    :wave:

  11. my hubbys favourite statement is:

    " GOD MADE WOMEN WITH SMALLER FEET THAN MEN SO THEY COULD GET CLOSER TO THE SINK"

    hes so funny, (dont take it serious its his joke)

  12. this is a awesome site,

    As i have just joined i have not read all the posts, seems like it would take me a lifetime lol

    being in E ngland we had no one to help us when we came out of twi, we were just left to get on with it,, and we have.

    myself and powerfilled (hubby) have been away from twi for about 10 years and have moved

    on in our lives, some may think that it wouldnt of effected us as much being we were in england

    but it did, we ran fellowships, we attended the roa, were advance class grads, so for us to it wasnt easy.

    But we have never stopped loving GOD, We still have a fellowship here in our

    home and we just hold forth the word to the best of our God given ability, and love people.

    God first not a ministry, nor people........ I couldnt live without God in my life, We tend not to

    look back at the past, we aim to be positive as looking back causes pain in my heart from twi

    days, although a lot of good happened to... and i met some great people who are close to my heart.

    So i hold on to the good and kick out the bad, adversary loves us to dwell on the crap.... This is

    such a good site for people to talk, We are only human and we all make mistakes but in a world

    with so much hatred, i believe to make a difference, and help in anyway i can.

    this is the first site i have seen like this and no nothing of any other site, and i would like to thank the people that got all this together, it has helped many people and thats what it should be all about.

    With the many different topics it meets the needs of all WELL DONE. May God continue to bless you guys for

    your wonderful hearts.

    love marypoppins

    :wave::wave:

  13. Live chat, Flash chat, and chat are great.

    No-one is in there when i am on line :P i think it is the time difference.

    I can talk to him at home lmao B)

    please could people stay on a little later and chat to me to :redface:

    :jump::jump::jump:

  14. I thought i would post this it made me smile and how very true it is :P

    Words Women Use

    Fine

    This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

    Five Minutes

    If she is getting dressed, this is more than half an hour.

    Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

    Nothing

    This is the calm before the storm. This means "something" and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with "nothing" usually end in "fine".

    Go Ahead

    This is a dare, not permission, DON'T DO IT!

    Loud Sigh

    Although not actually a word, the loud sigh is often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing".

    That's Okay

    This is one of the most dangerous statements that woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

    Thanks

    This is the least used of all words in the female vocabulary. If a woman is thanking you. Do not question it, just say you're welcome and back out of the room slowly.

    :wub: :P :wub:

  15. Thank you all for such a great welcome,

    Especially to my great friend DIGI, what a great welcome i am so glad she found me.

    after all this time.

    I believe our warped sense of English humour will be appreciated here lol. :P

    Its sometimes a little strange as we have different meanings:

    Like the day i said i was going out for a fag i was at the advance class at the time

    and i got nothing but funny looks.................. :blink: but in England a FAG is a cigerette. lol

    love you all :wub: especially powerfilled :wub: and digi :wub:

  16. well i think its all great the kids are great, alot of the slang is very similar to here in the united kingdom,

    although we say things like

    got new carpet on me apples and pears,

    sorry be right back its the dog and bone

    just bought my mum some great harry rippers for christmas

    just had a great ruby murray

    would anyone like to take a guess at the 4 statements made and what they think i am talking about

    :P :P :P

    this is a great forum hope you have fun with the English slang
