so surreal it's real...
My mom attracts animals like Merlynn. One cat in particular was fluffy and dreamy-eyed, stepped right out of a precious calendar. It was a feral, but my mom quickly charms the creature and begins to call it "Dolly." The cat was that sweet.

She managed to capture it and take it to the vet to be neutered to prevent more "Dollys" and create a starving feral colony, responsible, yes...

Later the same afternoon, she receives a phone call from a surprised the vet. It seems "Dolly" was a HE-cat with an undescended left testicle. The vet had spayed the poor creature anyway.

I suggested that she could call it "Dolly," amidst fits of laughter, just spell it differently, "Dali."

I told her that the cat was just polite and his testicle didn't "descend," because he didn't want her to be embarassed for calling him "Dolly."

Needless to say, she didn't think it was funny.

ok, right quick....
I'm making cheddar-beer fondue :

My man and I are from the East Coast in the States...
His family, Irish American one side, French-Canadian the other, big drinkers, fun parties, 'nuff said. One of the first times I attended a family party, I kept hearing," Where's the Church Key at?" The bottle opener for the bottled beer being drunk, hic*

OK, second, favorite phrase of my mom's : "Shit or get off the pot..." meaning, let's go, or make up your mind already, jeez.

I told this once to someone from Birmingham and he swore he's never heard that and promised to bring it to england with him, right.

Back to baking bread fun-bies...
