I had a friend who's mother became a grandmother at 38.  Needless to say, she was not at all happy 

There are a lot of people who will follow you in the hopes you will follow them back. I don't follow back until they interact with me or if I see that they don't spend their time tweeting:
"check out my great webpage where you can see me n u d e!"
"I will bee your girlfriend"
"click on this link and it will take you to great deals!"

Yeah, no... I will not follow you.

My aunt was a grandmother at 31 - so I really should know better!

So just to clarify again - because I really am as dumb as dogshit -

If I tweet, only my followers see it, but I can reply to someone I follow who doesn't follow me or tweet to someone I follow who doesn't follow me if I put their handle thingy in the little box before I type.

Does that sound right?

Oh - that's as clear as mud then! We don't use . in abbreviations any more over here!

And we call a . a fullstop - it grosses me out when I hear them called periods!

(My inner 11yo boy doesn't handle girl stuff!)

Period makes me giggle, it took me a little while to figure out everyone was talking about fullstops not the rag when I was first introduced to American English.

To counteract that one though; my mate who grew up in the US still can't get used to hearing 6 year-olds in her classroom asking each other for rubbers, which is what we call 'erasers' in Aus. When she first heard it (not in her Prep class, but in a year 6 class) she legit thought they were asking each other for condoms! 

Fullstop makes me think of Star Trek - "Full stop Mr. Data.  Proceed at impulse power"

Wait! 6 yr olds use rubbers? ? ? ? ?

Tehehe. Year 6 kids (so 11-12 years old) would just ask for condoms if they wanted them; depending on the school they may have already leant how to use them in S ex Ed. 6 Year old would ask to use a rubber, which is what we call a pencil eraser in Aus. So they're not really asking for condoms, they just make a mistake and need to rub it out. 

4 year olds use rubbers. They might even use them before that, but usually they don't care about mistakes at that age. 

This is what happens when everyone wears thongs everywhere!

It was too wet last week to wear thongs - I did see a lot of people wearing rubbers though.

We call them gum boots or wellies though!

Your thongs are our G-strings. If you called it "a thong" people would know what you were talking about - or they would think you had a lisp and wanted to sing something!

We have friends from Holland who call thongs - slippers. Slippers are what you wear on your feet in winter - mine are hot pink and fluffy and soft and awesome and I wish I could wear them all day in winter but I can only wear them for about 3 weeks every year and even them, sometimes they make my feet too hot if I wear them during the day.

My relationship with my slippers is almost illegal. I love them.

I know where mine are - even though I haven't needed them in 6 months and won't need them for another 5, they are always there waiting for me.

I need a man like that!

Just not quite so pink!

Length is pretty good though!


Change of topic - I searched for #robporn and there are heaps! I should be reviewing my science and maths programs in case I can get to work tomorrow - instead I am reviewing Rob!
