Re: This will make you smile or laugh!

Huh? Scott simply cut & pasted the original article .. no editing on his part to make it appear to be a personal experience from what I can see.

Re: Rabies blood test - 6 month rule

A vet has to draw the blood, fill in the form, send it to the approved lab and confirm results with the owner .. so the differing amounts charged are most likely as a result of what the vet charges...

Re: Virus software - US or UK version?

That's exactly what I'm thinking ... why pay £50 for the McAfee Suite if you can pay $50 for it? **US = $50 UK = $87** IMO, it's a total rip off, I can't see how it costs McAfee anymore to...

Re: Junior Proms, No wonder I can't fit in!

Re: Junior Proms, No wonder I can't fit in!

I know it can be done ... there's the lake, numerous parks and the mountains ... but the children here aren't interested in that, all they want to do is eat and buy stuff. That is the point I was...

Virus software - US or UK version?

Just looking at renewing my McAfee virus/firewall subscription and noticed that it cost about $50 in the US and £50 in the UK. So, is there anything to prevent UK users from upgrading via the US...

Re: Junior Proms, No wonder I can't fit in!

Totally sad! A couple of years ago I was in England and went out for the day with my brother and his partner who has three children. She made a packed lunch for all of us and we spent the day at a...

Re: Junior Proms, No wonder I can't fit in!

Re: Junior Proms, No wonder I can't fit in!

One of the biggest shocks I had when I first moved to the US was just how much children take for granted/expect from their parents.

I didn't have any party when I hit 16, nor when I got to 18...

Re: Black History Month

That's exactly how I feel about it ... that the way in which they seem to teach this subject promotes racism.

My daughter is only 8 years old, and if the schools did not go on and on about how...

Re: Two Times!!!

My pet hates are ... "He be" "You be" and "It's up in my room" instead of "It's in my room"!

My family also didn't have a clue about the word 'whilst'!
