    And my beers have worn off and now I'm just tired and cranky and no plug.


    My laptop is fading fast.

    That candy looks really cool, it's all old-timey too.

    I love airport stores. I once bought live lobsters on a vacation to Nova Scotia. They survived and they were really tasty, but I put them in the fridge with the fancy airport chocolates that I also bought and the chocolates aquired a lobster taste, which was a shame since they cost like $50 (which is a lot of money to a thirteen year old).

    Most people know them better as outlets. It's tough to find an outlet in an airport to charge my phone/laptop/mp3.

    So you call plugs outlets over there. This certainly is a fascinating site. We refer to outlets in the retail sense. Plugs can be the electrical or sink kind. Sink? Washbasin? Fascinating.

    Thank you, papaya. I'd like to think I could have figured that out with a little more context.

    She should have kept the patch on! In defense of pet parrots ( I have one), they are so smart and their eyesight is so good, they know the eyes are extremely valuable, and when they do touch the eyelids they are so very gentle. When my bird grooms my face, she will never get too close to my eye- if she wants to examine my eyelashes or my eye makeup, she will poke just a little. It is really very cute.

    I call them plugs- the outlets are what you plug in to. I love going to London and looking at British signs- Way Out for Exit. And the British names for things like; Washing up liquid for dishwashing soap is my favorite. Growing up liquid for baby formula I love. Hoovering for vacuuming, and I also really love the word toilet that is used over there instead of restroom!! Restroom makes no sense. So last summer when we came back from our second trip to London, I tried to use the word toilet when I went back to work. It was a disaster. People thought it was as bad as swearing, that's how it is taken here.
    I can't wait to go back.
