I agree. Now it's a nice French lady wearing it, then I guess I'm gonna have to learn some... and quick.

So many choices...so little time. So I vote "yes".

BB! I knew it was a matter of time before you stopped by. Our names are all over this.

Haha! I haven't even read back. My thing with hijacking threads is I honestly don't mean to do it sometimes...but then there's other people posting in the thread that remind me of other things and I just feel an uncontrollable urge to talk about it. I don't ever try to do it malicously--sometimes I do it to diffuse a situation but that has been few and far between in the recent months.

Mostly I just am kinda in my 'lil lala land!!

Anyone who's ever had a real-life conversation with me knows I hijack conversations too. I'm just all over the map, all the time.

I can get from paint drying to chewing gum very quickly, and it all makes sense in my head.

In so many words, that's exactly what I said... just in different words.

I get to learn something today. Without BN I think I'd be dumb. Did I tell you that I learned what paucity meant this week.

In what cnntext was it being used?

Uh oh. I don't remember. It was in a thread sometime around Monday. That and CG telling me what it means, is all I remember.

It was R2...

That's right, both CG and R2 told me what it meant.

actually, I used it in a sentence; Carolina Girl explained what it meant, and someone fleshed out the Merriam-Webster definition. But, it was a good "word of the day". Now..

today... in the spirit of the ladies wearing the unmentionables and their apparent attitudes... insouciance... might be a place to start.

Souci in French means "a care", so sans souci means without a care . . . see where this is going?

You don't care if you take off your lingerie?? Is that what you're trying to say?

It's all coming back to me now.

Now insouciance? Can you use that in a sentence? I'm going to have to start keeping a copybook next to the computer.

Yes . . . sort of a blithe nonchalance about its presence or absence, my pet!

Wow. I really like where this is going. I was prepared to learn something, and I think I did, but now I just have some pretty nice images in my head.

I'm gonna start calling you guys my Smart Friends.

I like pink underwear.
And popcorn.
And trains.




What's all this talk about in Susie once?

Well... It all started with some popcorn. Then she told me about her pink underwear and offered to show me,... and well the rest is history. Good fun nice history.

*laughing* Are you calling this thread a trainwreck?!?

Not yet, but I'm sure we can get it there if we try hard enuff.

Actually I posted that same picture in another thread last night (early this morning?) when Mal referred to it as a "train wreck of a thread".

Uh-oh, somebody threw the switch .... it's going down the wrong track.

You what's a funny word ..... mastication .... sounds dirty but it's not.

I remember back in grade school we had to count how many times we masticated. Apparently if you don't masticate enough it's bad for ya.

Oh. And here I thought that we were discussing why it always seemed like trains only wreck in Black & White.

Well, that little tidbit was just an extra educational bonus from the whole exercise. Evidently, up until the mid-60's, trains never crashed in color, only black & white.
