Friday Shoot-Out Update - Go Random

I let Gus and Sadie pick a name outta the ole Corona hat this week........

And they picked Rockin Robyn my girl from An Alaskan Family!! Robyn wanted to go Random this week. Anything you feel like shooting. You can make a theme or mix it up with any thing you fancy.

Also, Becky from Iowa @omgirlblog.blogspot.com
and
beautiful Audrey from Canada @stage3whome.blogspot.com joined in the fun this week. Please check out their great shots!!

We have lots of wonderful new participant's. If you haven't joined our GANG yet, you don't know what you're missing. You will meet the nicest people ever. We've all become like one big family and get to know each other better every week. We care about each other, we laugh together and sometimes we cry together.....but together we are!! We will all be friends for life.

You might want to shoot Grandpa's and grand kids together. That's my Big Bro and my nephew going out to the garden to pick a few veggies.......


You might want to shoot a little 3-D cabinet surfing..........


You might want to shoot men with earrings.......(Prince will kill me for this one but hey, I love a man who's not afraid to wear an earring).........


This is one of the easiest most laid-back gang's on the net. A different gang member picks a subject each week and we all come out shootin. No rules, it's all about your interpretation of the subject. If you want to be jumped in to our gang, please hit me or Patty up with a comment and then drop by our Grand Poobah Gordon's site at "Friday Shoot-Outs From Florida" or traveling beauty GingerV at "Flowers and More" with a comment and they will gladly add you to the ever growing list. Then on Friday please add "Friday Shoot-Out" to your post title so that we can all see it on our dashboards and check out your shots.

Come on...........join a gang. We have a shoot-out every week and to date, no one's been hurt or arrested yet (that we know of that is). You won't be sorry!!

Everyone please have an E~X~T~R~E~M~E weekend, do something that brings a smile to your face and makes your heart sing. Pursue happiness..........it's worth it :)

The "English To English" Translation Guide (part deux)

The language barrier is much better at our house, but every now and then it rears it's ugly head again. I mostly understand Prince these days though occasionally, I get caught off guard myself. I thought that today I would translate a little more Brit speak.

"Adverts" = Commercials
"Trolley" = Shopping cart
"Wonky" = Shaky or mis-made (as in "I often get the trolley with the wonky wheel)
"Let me sort this out" = Let me get this straight!
"Discombobulated" = confused or out of sorts
"Toast Maker" = toaster
"Walk About = a stroll (as in "I'm taking Ellie for a walk about")
"Motorway" = Interstate
"The traffic swishes by" = people drive really fast over here in America
"Snaps" = photographs, pictures
"Bugger Off" = get lost! (or insert your OWN special translation here!)
"Floor Mat" = rug
"Reg, have you gone daft?" = "Have you lost you mind girl?". (I hear this one
a lot for some reason.......especially lately)


For all of his kooky language, Prince is still one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He has a lot of character about him. He is really trying to learn southern lingo and occasionally says "Flaming Nora Y'all", which is especially funny when said with his charming British accent. Prince also never enacts diabolical behavior, which is always a plus in a man. He has a huge and loving heart and always gives me one of his hushpuppies when he orders fish for dinner. I love the way he laughs at the new Dorrito's advert and how he loves to watch Friday Night Standup on Comedy Central. I think I'll keep him because he's not afraid to wear my girlfriend gigi's earrings.......and my don't they bring out his pretty eyes? (he's gonna kill me for posting this snap!!)
