Memorial Day is almost here. I am thinking about the family of one of our soldiers who died just as we were returning from an Iraq campaign. He was my friend. Reply #36082. May 08 24, 6:52 AM |

We just got an estimate for doing some landscaping work in our front yard. It’s $35,000. This is nuts. Reply #36083. May 08 24, 8:22 AM |

Quoted £648.00 to cut a tree down in the garden. Did it myself at the cost of a skip to take it away. Reply #36084. May 08 24, 12:09 PM |

Trying again, just back to the UK from a trip to New Orleans, Memphis and Nashville. A once in a lifetime trip and back to holidaying in European countries now. Reply #36088. May 08 24, 5:53 PM |

I really like the limericks thread in the Chain Games section. Sometimes I participate, sometimes not. Always fun to read the cleverness of fellow FT players Reply #36089. May 08 24, 9:13 PM |

GCSE and A-level exams start today, so that will keep me quiet for the next couple of months. I hope you have a good time at Glencoe, Laura. Reply #36091. May 09 24, 2:26 AM |

Hello Hello Hello! I asked me Mum if we could have kippers for breakfast. She said "Blimey, is that a Tungsten carbide drill?" "Cheeky!" I exclaimed, "It's just a flesh wound" Cheers to all the Kingdom and Commonwealth quiz writers. For some reason us Yanks don't know who had the stickiest wicket during the 2012 World Cricket Championships I'm just having a piss, I love all of you and wished there were Fun Trivia conventions for meet and greets. We can go for the Guinness World Record Largest Pub Trivia game ever!!!!!! " What in bleedin' hell is a Tungsten Carbide Drill??!?!" Reply #36092. May 09 24, 6:12 AM |

I just learned of the suicide of a friend who had everything a man could want. This reminds me of that poem Richard Cory, by EA Robinson. People never really know what goes on between someone else’s ears. I’ve had to learn this lesson too many times. If you are struggling, please seek help. Reply #36093. May 09 24, 8:39 AM |

I had a gorgeous display of peonies this year in the garden. Unfortunateky, the storms that came through here Tuesday night took all the petals off. They do not last that long but you would like to have them go peacefully. Reply #36095. May 09 24, 11:35 AM |

Hello from Thibodaux, Louisiana. In 1883 the first Thibodaux Firemen's Fair raised $250 for the volunteers. Back then they had a mule drawn wagon with ladders and buckets. Today we have 8 fire companies and over 500 volunteer firemen and firewomen. This year was the 150th annual Fair. We have rides, food and music attracting more than 50,000 people. The totals are not known yet but they raised $ 1.2 million last year. In the USA about 65 percent of firefighters are volunteers. We are grateful for their courageous acts of bravery in a job we can't do without. Reply #36097. May 09 24, 8:22 PM |

Running a 5K this weekend. Barely trained or adjusted my diet. Definitely not prepared. This is not going to go well but I'm gonna give it my all. Reply #36100. May 10 24, 5:23 AM |
