9:24 am

BzznBea

Congratulations, Champ

9:25 am

9:26 am

hurshy

9:27 am

An old school pal of mine, whom I’ve only seen at funerals over the past 25 years, came to mine last night for take-out & a sleepover. 3.30 am this morning, and 4 bottles of wine later - we get to bed. It was a great evening.

9:33 am

hurshy

aw, glad you guys had a good time

9:33 am

Read Soodle's post again. It sounds like the old friend came to her funeral 😋

9:45 am

ChampFit

I knew what she meant! ;)

9:45 am

hurshy

only because in the US we don't say "mine" or "yours" as a common way to refer to "my place" and "your place" like they do in the UK and Ireland

9:45 am

MollyL

Champ, I am impressed with the future son-in-law. I didn't know guys asked Dad's permission anymore.

9:46 am

MollyL

Funny you should say that about the UK because I thought they said "take away" not "take out"

9:47 am

ChampFit

I'm sure most don't Molly. He's a great guy, so I thought he would. It was very sweet.

9:47 am

hurshy

perhaps the UK and Ireland differ on take-home-food terminology, or it's flexible

9:47 am

MollyL

I'm glad you like him and that she got one of the good ones

9:47 am

ChampFit
