Did anyone hear the news about New Zealand? I thought of you Sandy, your neighbors next door! And you too Star! And George and Geoff! LOL is that the whole of our Australian contingent? :lol: New Zealand is awaiting the birth of their 4,444,444th citizen! Expected sometime today I believe!

And how odd they would make news of 4,444,444 vs. 4 million or 5 million! Cool!

And even cooler 4's have been a prominent prompt for me yesterday and today. Thanks for the extra prompt!

LOVE!!!!
Sammy

Awesome, thanks for the link Sandy!

That's weird Sammy, now that you mention it today has been full of 444s. Even on the Bears game! (No football fan over here, but I live with one! :lol: )

You know, I wondered that too! I thought, "Why are they talking about 4,444,444 instead of 4 million or 5 million etc.?" And it said in the article that they also made a big deal about 3,333,333 and plan to make a big deal about 5,555,555! Very progressive! :lol: One of the city data clerks speculated the baby would be born at 4:44! ;)

Awesome news eh?

Love, Michele :kiss: :bana:

Sandy is it mighty different by you?

Love you guys! :roll

That young man is adorable, Michele. He makes me almost want to subsrcibe to other face of zak video. :lol: Still if you were his mother I suspect you would have to keep an eye on this one. LOL

It is a bit different here ... language/english wise from what I am used to. Some words mean different things then what they do back home.
It wasn't enough that I ever felt overwhelmed though.
Thanks for the smile this afternoon! :sunflower:

WOAH!!! Weird Sammy eh?!?!? Someone is saying a stubborn hello!!! :lol: :roll They insist it is :44!!! Lol.

I get a kick out of the New Zealand accent. When I watch a movie set there, or in Wales, or Scotland, or Ireland, or even Boston! :lol: I have to have my boyfriend translate for me what everyone is saying. I can't understand if they talk too fast! Actually that happened to me quite often down in Southern Illinois, too! :roll: A bit hopeless over here. :hithere

My native tongue! Oh well, lol. :roll :love

Love you guys! :loves

I have this habit too of picking up other's accents. In the case of George and I as he has picked up my southern twang and I his lovely Dutch/Australian. People have no clue where we are from, as we don't fall into any of the categories anymore. After I go home for a visit to my parents, though, I come back speaking my own native tongue for awhile...Or after I watch the show, "The Closer" sometimes.. :lol: Even though the lead character on the show has a deeper southern accent then my own...I still think of her as a best friend. ;) :roll: "Thank ya'll thank you very much!" I just love her and she isn't even real. :) well now... we talked about that on another thread eh, Michele... ;)
Love,
Sandy

Sandy, this is so cute what you said! :kiss: I thought I was the only one who did that, loving a fictional character, LOL! I remember my good friend sharing with me (shyly! :lol: ) that she never 'strayed' in her thoughts, from her husband. . . but she did have a crush on one other man. I said who? She said Sandy, the lawyer from "Presumed Innocent." :shock: The book! She meant just the ficitional character in the book, she never even saw the movie, LOL! ! ! ! ! ! Isn't that adorable? !

Love you! Michele :loves
