SarahKB7 Koskinen Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) "we" = a resident who was born in one of those 13 colonies? "we" = a resident who was born in one of the other 37 States that never took part in 1776-1784 and whose State was bought, stolen or ceded from other nations or indigenous peoples? Your actual true Independence Day is 14th January 1784, when the Treaty of Paris (signed on 3rd September 1783), which officially ended the war and granted official nation status to the US, was ratified into law.

I'm just sittin' here making an innocuous comment about socks, followed by a quip to Love about breaking with the Queen (though it was the King then, unless my history fails me yet again... oh dear) and... and... wait... wut?❓ Apparently our whole darn country got it wrong and has been shooting off fireworks and getting drunk on the wrong darn day. Doh! I hate when that happens. But yeah, stepping away from this crazy one. Time for WINE! Edited August 12, 2022 by Seicher Rae 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tea comes in a bag and I've never eaten a crumpet in my life. I did have a scone once. 😝 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, fuss and bother. And I never quite get the right usage of taking (giving? playing in?) the piss. I dunno, I may have to post a clown picture now. I adore crumpets (and scones) but with good, West Coast (USA) coffee please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seicher Rae Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Peeve: Gmail just redid something or other "to serve me better" and now my display is all messed up. Sigh. Now I'll have to dink around for way too long to get it set back up the way I want it. Yay!

I think it taking me an hour speaks more on my cognitive functions than on your sense of humor, which apparently is intact. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always tell people I've had a cup of Earl Grey tea, because somehow it would be wrong if they thought I was drinking Earl Grey tea out of a mug with a rude slogan on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have that clip downloaded on my phone. I used to use it as my alarm for taking my meds but it got too annoying. Now I have the theme from the pink panther movie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
