I can't wait to get over there and have a drink with you in a bonafide English pub. You sound like a wild and crazy bunch of hooligans and I'm proud to know ya! As far as the question about how I pronounce Slough it is like pow, I guess that's the easiest way to say it. My brother and his wife and my husband and myself have decided on April 2009 for our trip. That gives me plenty of time to save so I can buy some English lace and hopefully some Royal Doulton with the hand painted periwinkles, hahaha or some English china of some sort. I could go crazy there. I'm taking a course this summer for graduate work, entitled "Tudor and Stuart England". This is my favorite era, except possibly the medieval Arthurian era. Anyway, there is a whole passel of Anglophiles here and we love to talk about English history. We are pretty much Elizabethan groupies. See what the Beatles started?????? Love them too. Dave Clark Five, I saw the Animals in concert in 68. Love Twiggy and Petula and Lulu and especially Captain Peacock. I could go on and on but you know them better than I, so I'll stop bending your ear and close. I have homework to do. Imagine being back in college at 54!!!!! Anyway thanx again and I'll be checking the site to learn more about you. Andrea |

What a great post but sadly I remember them too....what I mean is we are getting on a bit now, were going to bits and pieces, but were glad all over, downtown, in the house of the rising sun, we shout, about a hard days night.......OK I'll stop now before I get more abuse from a few who agreed that I was a plonker! I suppose I did ask for it!! |

| Andrea Slough-kubsch Posts: 8 Joined: 13th Jan 2008 Location: USA | quotePosted at 23:17 on 19th March 2008 You know, school is really fun now in that the first time I went to college at 17, I didn't know what I wanted to do, I made less than stellar grades. When I went to nursing school, I was married, working full time, and had 2 boys 8 and 10. I don't even remember those 3 years of their lives. I think I only saw them awake on weekends. Thank goodness for a good husband. Now the boys are 28 and 31, the husband is self sufficient and I'm not working, so I can focus more on school itself. Problem is, the old synapses don't synapse as quick as they used to. I find my memory abilities are a tad diminished so I have to work twice as hard, but I figure if I can complete my masters by the time I'm 58, I'll be able to work 10 years or so and maybe more. I just wasn't ready to sit around and crochet or quilt for the next 30 years. And I DO plan on living till at least 80, lol. By the way, I got a very nice letter from her Majesty's (sp) secretary when I wrote to her about my proposed dissertation. It has the royal seal and everything on it. I was so excited when I saw it my mailbox. |
