Superman is good...you are well.<br /><br />Cute - actually, I used to use this in the UK. i think it's made its way across the pond and is now a thing in Blighty. Sorry! :-(<br /><br />Son Of A Gun and Ladybug - Never ever ever. Not going to happen. Uh uh. Nope. Never. No way.<br />(check in with me in a few years)<br /><br />Soccer - I've actually embraced this one, mostly because it drives my UK friends crazy! I've never been a 'soccer' fan; being that odd 2% of men who didn't show an interest. I love this word. And 'groceries' i like the word 'groceries' too. More specific than just 'shopping'.<br /><br />I've been reading your blog for about a year or so, ever since I knew I was moving to the States. I'm not one to blatantly advertise, but i'd love you to check out my blog as it's also all about the things i've experienced in the USA since moving here....I think you might like it ;-)<br /><br />I'd love your feedback :-)<br /><br />www.headinablender.com<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8122769070717660398.post-33170009687508598762015-10-26T11:44:30.683-07:002015-10-26T11:44:30.683-07:00I stopped saying "Fine" after a couple o...I stopped saying "Fine" after a couple of creepy occasions when I said "Fine" and got the answer "Yes, you are....."

To say I am good is a moral statement. To say I am fine means I'm in good health. Aaaaarrrghghgh.Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.com
