Actually, I was going to respond to you, Bim!

I read on the last page where you said it was still 9 in your morning.

I responded that I was three hours closer to darkness--but I didn't realize that the thread had already advanced far, far beyond where that would have been relevant.

So now I've explained it, which is even more loser-like!

Oh! Bim! Another thing I missed!

No need for me to PM you--what I just said was it!

Not worth the drama!

HA! I caught this before you edited!

HA, I say.

It's still morning here. 11AM.

...and now I'm resorting to posting the time. What's next? Pictures of my food?

Where's LBrain? I miss his food narratives. I've tried to lure him back here, but he's not biting.

Hello all! I'm in. LOTS of rain and clouds in Vermont right now and expected for the next week. My work is super crazy and lots of stress. I've been trying to go to more meetings and have been reaching out more to women in the program for support. I've decreased one of my medications so trying to get in to a regular sleep routine. Lots going on and grateful I don't have to struggle trying to do this with hangover and negative consequences of drinking

Now that I'm reflecting, what exactly are "jam butties?"

I suspect they might be some sort of English comfort food, but I'm kind of afraid to ask!

I really enjoyed LBrain, but he was far, far too into healthy vegetables for my taste!

Bring on the jam butties!

from Urban dictionary:

Jam butties
Jam butties- a jam sandwich which people in barnton love.
'oooh put the kettle on love, and make some jam butties'




...apparently Pine Martens love them too.

My guess was sandwich cookies with jam in them.
But that is a way cuter term for a PB&J.

I was kind of daydreaming that they'd have some butter thrown in, too!

I'm definitely in. My finances are a big reason of why I need to quit drinking, I got myself into debt to finance this horrible habit. Looking forward to digging out...

I've seen them in the zoo do it much more gently, playful nudging compared to that. Perhaps a brotherly disagreement. Hey, bro, I was saving those banana leaves for later.

Welcome to Weekenders ZenButterfly!

Jam buttie bread = jam (jelly if you are American) and butter.

I like the fact that there is a bemused zebra watching the giraffe clash.

I hope LBrain posts too, landscaper extraordinaire.

Good luck with the fast Soberwolf.

I can't believe it will be Friday in a few hours. Where's this week gone?

I've heard that "chip butties", which in U.S. parlance, would essentially be a french fry sandwich, are popular in the UK. That doesn't sound very appealing to me...talk about carb overload! I've heard of fries ON sandwich but not the whole filling of the sandwich!

I live in the land of french fries on sammiches and salads.

32 years living in this region, I have never had anything from a certain notorious sandwich shop.

I have heard that there's a world's famous Pittsburgh sandwich shop! What exactly is it again? I know it's hardcore!
