My wife was pregnant at the time and it felt as if we were two people living in our own little world. There's probably some sound evolutionary reason why that occurs. That feeling didn't last long but the memory of that time will last as long as we're alive.

My wife was bitten by a centipede last week. The creepy critter crawled on her and when she tried to shake it off, it got her. I use the cats to help track down this beast. When they start poking around in the nooks and crannies, I'll grab a handball racquet which is kept close at hand. Last night the cat was poking around at an access door under the stairs. I opened the door and the cat tentatively went into the dark hole. He was like one of those tunnel rat of Ch Chi. Anyway, in the end, we got the monster. I would have liked to have captured it alive but I could not figure out how to reach for my granddaughter's bug bottle while I was stepping on him to keep him from moving. Stepping on these guys won't kill them - it just keeps them from running under the refrigerator. I had no choice but to blast him with the Raid. Poor guy!

Unfortunately, my daughter says that these things travel in pairs. She said they probably came in to lay some eggs. Yikes! My wife is still too afraid to sleep on the bed. I'm one of those guys that like to work on his fears so that hasn't stopped me. My plan is to not move a muscle if I feel something crawling on me in the middle of the night. Unless, of course, it's my wife.

The salmon fillets and steaks I've bought have been wild caught.
Despite trying many different preparations, I doubt it will ever be my
favourite fish.

dsi1 proclaims ys US mainlanders don't eat fish. Maybe not where his
wife comes from. Montana. Oh, wait! Montana is a huge state. But
perhaps he could learn to go fly-fishing. LOL

I'm having cod for dinner. I thought briefly about turning the cod into
fish sticks because he said that's mostly what Americans like.

That won't be happening.

My wife was pregnant at the time and it felt as if we were two people living
in our own little world. There's probably some sound evolutionary reason why
that occurs. That feeling didn't last long but the memory of that time will
last as long as we're alive.

Some feeling never leave you. I just wish more recent ones would stay
even a little bit longer <g>

My wife was bitten by a centipede last week. The creepy critter crawled on
her and when she tried to shake it off, it got her. I use the cats to help

Hey! Poor wife!!!! I wouldn't like that happening to me! Is she ok
now? I don't know anything about those things and I sure as heck don't want
to go through that!

Unfortunately, my daughter says that these things travel in pairs. She said
they probably came in to lay some eggs. Yikes! My wife is still too afraid
to sleep on the bed. I'm one of those guys that like to work on his fears so

Superior? No, more well informed. We aren't stuck on that "rock" so we
actually know what is going on in terms of food and fish consumption on
the mainland.

"Americans" is such a sweeping generalization.

Yes, there's trouble in paradise. The one that bit my wife was a small one, the one I killed was a large one. Why these bugs have shown up in the house at this time is a mystery.

OTOH, it would probably be a good idea to understand and learn to live with these critters. Perhaps we should have a pet chicken in the house. They eat centipedes. All I have to do is lay some bread at my door and they will come in.

I don't know how strong my Dutch accent is in English. My wife says
it's very light, but I think she's just used to it. In Dutch I sound
normal, not posh.

I'm not sure about the Yorkshire accent. Is it where they leave out
the T in "but"?

I'm not too worried. We've never had problems with centipedes before. We have had problems with big spiders but it's easier to learn to live with these critters than to fear them. I don't much care to live in fear. The only question I got is will I be able to handle a centipede crawling on me? It's an interesting question.

I won't try to understand the UK accents or dialects and their
differences. I think that's a job of a lifetime. It's the same in the
Netherlands. You could find 2 Dutch people who can't have a
conversation because they don't understand each other.

I'm not too worried. We've never had problems with centipedes before. We
have had problems with big spiders but it's easier to learn to live with
these critters than to fear them. I don't much care to live in fear. The
only question I got is will I be able to handle a centipede crawling on me?
It's an interesting question.

Oh dear, I would be terrified! I quite like spiders but then the ones we
have are not very big. Not sure how I would feel about a very big one.

I won't try to understand the UK accents or dialects and their
differences. I think that's a job of a lifetime. It's the same in the
Netherlands. You could find 2 Dutch people who can't have a
conversation because they don't understand each other.

LOL yes!!! Same here too))

Fresh fish doesn't need to be soaked in anything. It does not smell
"fishy".

Some fish -even fresh- tastes more fishy than other fish. In Iron
Chef, the Japanese often soaked fishy fish in milk to get rid of the
fishiness. I always wondered why they picked that fish in the first
place if they didn't like it.
