Xaxazana, EC, South Africa. isiXhosa, the language of most inhabitants of the Eastern Cape, uses the letter X a lot. It sounds like a click, that you make on the side of your mouth with your tongue and cheek.

April 21, 2004 Escorial Palo Alto, CA Will I opened the door to find my father there with Jake behind him, as if he were Jake’s human shield. “Welcome home,” Dad said, and embraced me warmly. I thought it was nice that he’d taken off his tie and shed his jacket, as if to announce that he was no longer Mr. Corporate America. “I missed you,” I said warmly. Dad looked at Travis, then at Jake, then back at Travis, pretty much just like I had, then finally kicked h

The upside down was a bit chilly this morning. It got down to 8C but it promises to be a glorious day I might need to copy you and go for a bit of a jaunt

We're expecting 88% here. Might hop outside and check it out between patients if the clouds clear.

Head Waters, Virginia -- population 88 in the 2020 census.

St. Vincent's illness must be short-lived. I believe he replaces Spencer as First Lord in a couple of years. He had an extraordinarily long lifespan for this time, dying at 88.

Hey, all! A mild 9C here.

Poor Ian. It’s hard to have so many expectations at just five years of age. He may have the smarts, but he doesn’t have the maturity yet, as witnessed b6 his meltdown about learning the technicalities of the language of music. I don’t quite get the determination to make Gaea like Earth II. Things had gone so wrong there, I would think they would want a completely fresh start. Name your cities and locations after places on Earth I. That’s fine. But make a break and make a new society with more care for each other and the world on which you are now living!

Here its 17f/-8c

July 12, 1801 Brentwood, UK Granger peeked into the drawing room and saw his father sitting on a chair while his mother relaxed on a chaise, both of them looking quite relaxed as they chatted away. He had invited his parents to come spend a week with him here at Brentwood, and it had turned out to be a good decision. His father had been working with William, Matheus, and Michael, training the three of them on the manners, etiquette, and physical gestures like bowing they woul

It's 18F/-8c here but still no snow weird!

April 24, 2004 The Beverly Hills Hotel Beverly Hills, CA Will It was hard to imagine a bigger bombshell could be dropped into this group: Travis’s grandfather, Tom Buck, was his father, not his grandfather. How totally messed up was that? He’d been sleeping with his daughter-in-law! I tried to conjure up a mental picture of him, curious as to whether he looked like Travis or Jake, but he’d always had a beard, and that seemed to dominate my memory of him. I looked over at

OMG all those Tim Tams and Coke consumed by Tyron and Bradley. Clearly neither has a problem with the scourge of many teens (and was certainly the scourge of my teenage years), acne. I know it is very un-Australian @Paladin I have never cared for Tim Tams. Now Mint Slice, they are a whole different kettle of fish. I rarely each such food now, but still enjoy chocolate with 95% dark chocolate my guilty pleasure. And as for that enormous breakfast eaten by Chris, Andre and Jamie, suffice to say I am vegetarian. A very light chapter, possibly before heavier chapters involving the trial of Ollie and Andre's rapist. I hope there is no confrontation between Ollie and his mother. If she dares to harass or blame him in person I hope she quickly finds herself persona non grata.

The original Mustang Ranch Brothel was the first licensed brothel in Nevada when it opened in 1971. This led to the opening of brothels in 10 of the 17 counties in the state. Mustang Ranch was surrendered to the federal government in 1999 when the owner was convicted for tax fraud, racketeering, and other crimes. The ranch was auctioned off by the government on eBay for $145,100 and opened five miles east at Exit 28 on Interstate 80 where it continues to operate.

Liam dumped the laundry basket down on his bed. He’d have to empty it and his jeans were only just covering his underpants but Ed would see his underpants. He could just grab all his clothes and shove them into his wardrobe though Ed would think he was crazy. Ed dropped down onto Liam’s bed, next to the laundry basket. “Hurry up and we can go and watch TV,” Ed said. “Is there anything on?” “I don’t know. If its shit, you can read your book.” “Okay.” He’d have to be

Thank you. I've thought about and worked out a lot about Liam and Ed's relationship. I want to show them navigating their way around their relationship, they are only 15 and 14. They are both very damaged souls, look what Ed did to survive at school, but they also care about each other.

My eyes are very tired this morning; for a second I read that as "kilo more cock". Koroop, in Victoria (VIC), Australia, population 80 in the 2016 census.

As a kid in the 70s 80s. I loved Xanadu... Still do. I always saw Gene Kelly in it and thought, what a way to go out!? Love the story...

Wow. Heavy, as we used to say in the 70s and 80s.

I think I remember 95% of them weren't even actors. Kuntergrau ended me. Not every story has to have a happily ever after, but the series just floored me at the end. What the f***. I appreciate your actor choices though.

The name of the holiday comes from the phrase Sorry Charlie, popular in the United States. According to some, the phrase comes from a Starkist Tuna commercial in the 1970s. Tasty Tuna In the commercial, the main character, Charlie the Tuna, believes he has good taste and wants to be caught by the Tuna company. The company, however, rejects Charlie by attaching a note to a fish hook that says “Sorry Charlie.” The reason Charlie is rejected by the tuna company is because the company prefers to catch a tuna that tastes good, and not a tuna that has good taste. Rejection Phrase The phrase is now is commonly used as a response to someone who has experienced a rejection. It can be sometimes be seen as an uncaring response. How to Celebrate? Think back on all the rejections in your life – academic, professional and personal – and spend the day reflecting on what you learned from each of them. Treat yourself because you didn’t let any rejections let you down. Did You Know... ...that some schools of tuna fish swim alongside dolphins as a way to protect themselves from sharks and other predatory sea life? *** The college football player knew his way around the locker room better than he did the library. So when my husband's co-worker saw the gridiron star roaming the stacks looking confused, she asked how she could help. "I have to read a play by Shakespeare," he said. "Which one?" she asked. He scanned the shelves and answered, "William." *** Giving a sermon one Sunday, I heard two teenage girls in the back giggling and disturbing people. I interrupted my sermon and announced sternly, "There are two of you here who have not heard a word I've said." That quieted them down. When the service was over, I went to greet people at the front door. Three adults apologized for going to sleep in church, promising it would never happen again. *** We live less than a quarter-mile from the high school, but my son proudly drove there in a car he bought with his own money. A typical first car, it had lots of little problems and was sometimes slow to start. One morning I was surprised to see it still in front of the house, so after school I asked him about it. "I had to get to school early," he said, "so I just ran." *** During an attack of laryngitis I lost my voice completely for two days. To help me communicate with him, my husband devised a system of taps. One tap meant "Give me a kiss." Two taps meant "No." Three taps meant "Yes"—and 95 taps meant "Take out the garbage." *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** sandrewn

Excuse but of the two of us who's French? What I sad about frogs being non existants on 95% of the menus of French restaurants is true. what I said about cat meat in kebab is also true. A team from the health and safety department ran analysis on mest from a kebab place in Paris and those analysis reveals the meat was partially made of cat. The meat had been imported from Eastern Europe
