I thought it was so plain. Autumn is so pretty! Detailing (like as in a car?) is just putting in new things (that usually cost a lot) to fix up your car and make it look really fancy. lol I love Americanisms! It's a funny word! -------------------- It comes down to the art of living on [color/red] Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: He-he...I have back up!       #47558 - 03/02/04 01:31 PM Edit Reply Quote Morven Reged: 07/31/03 Posts: 138 Loc: Scotland,UK just catching up with posts etc!!

Where i come from originally is a seaside town called dunoon,in argyllshire.It used to have a US navy base there,and so naturally we had lots of american kids come to our school,there was a whole community,we just intergrated,it was brilliant,so i guess i'm kinda familiar with americanism as i grew up with them!There was a supermarket in the town,that imported all american food,and you could only use it if you were employed by navy base for some reason,anyway,i used to love going to my friends houses,and trick or treating,coz we'd get stuff like hershey bars,reeses cups,and oreo(sp) cookies,that were so new to us,ah,the memories!!!! -------------------- Morven Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     OoOoOoOoO!!!

I never did like Oreo's much, so I was teased about being un-American when I was younger! -------------------- It comes down to the art of living on [color/red] Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | (show all)
