O, Happy Day!

My hubs and I just returned from the Honda dealership. The van needed a check-up and oil. It was FREE - we bought the van there and the first time in is free. I don't care - FREE is FREE. Anyhoo - we also asked for an estimate on the bumper damage I incurred a while back. On the way there my hubs said he thinks they'll have to replace the bumper for about $3k . . . I almost started to shitskee my pantskees . . .

"No way!" I exclaimed. "Can't they just push it back in and paint it?" It never seemed like it was more damaged than that.

The insurance company wants $500 for the deductible.
We aren't paying it.
The repair will be just pennies under $570.

Good thing I didn't shitskee my pantskees. No reason to.

Kisteen - we share a love of language!

Suz - In past posts I think I've said enough about my being an Anglophile, but it would likely be some purgatorial walk to send you on the post hunt - so I'll lay it straight: I'm genuine American with German, Dutch, Irish, Finish, Swedish, and Norwegian heritage. I've always had a HUGE love of the United Kingdom . . . I grew up watching BBC on PBS . . . had penpals in England, learned their slang (still learning new ones) and can fake a mean metropolitan Londoner accent. I used to fake before I grew up (ahem, matured). But, because of the heavy influence of their telly and film, my pen friends, their literature, etc., I have managed to retain much and some sort of morph took place. I confuse many and I do not mean to - honestly. Now I sound nutters, but honestly, I'm not. Well, maybe only slightly. Still.
Would you love me any less now that you know I'm just an American lass?

ruby - yeah, I wonder how I make that happen??? You have to be a wonderful person to "get" me. What, with all this blimey British leg pullin' going on. Yeah?

I love ya no matter what you are..you could be zimbabwean..is that a title...and it wouldn't matter to me! I absolutely have tons of English accents coming into Hallmark, where I work part-time, and I always have to ask...I love the Aussie accent too, don't you?
