a “Chippy” is a little stand which serves a quick meal of traditional British fish and chips.

What’s a “Chippy?” An establishment selling Fish andChips ? ;)

No Al, Chippy is just an abbreviation for fish and chips.

I just hate it when my chippy is hut

I love fish and chips, but can someone explain currywurst to me? Love curry and love sausage, but do they go together?

A “Chippy” is a Fish and Chip Shop. They have been around for eons and serve deep fried fish and deep fried fries. Brits call them chips. Variations include Sausage and chips or meat pie and chips. A corner shop is just that a shop on a corner that sells the essentials like milk, eggs, butter, bread and other such staples

Flo and Ruby remind me of my “Are you three whales from Scotland?” post from yesterday.

Oh that would be a tragedy, Flo.

But I love chips myself. So it would be kind of a tragedy I guess.

I can handle anything but I’ll write a resignation letter just in case!-I hope you enjoy watching it. If not you have my permission to hit me for wasting your time. -It’s great that the windows are almost finished. I’ve never been stung by a wasp before but I ALMOST got stung in my sleep. I woke up in the nick of time after hearing a faint buzzing sound which I thought was a lawnmower outside. Wasps are horrible things. I’m so scared of them.-It’s hard to stick to a diet and go ‘cold turkey’ on all of the unhealthy food which a person is so used to eating and to start an exercise plan. I wouldn’t know though because I’ve never needed to go on a diet. From what I can tell, you seem to be in great health. You are on no medication, you keep yourself fit, you eat vegetables and your BP is always low but a healthy ‘low’ My BP is always a bit on the high side. My highest one so far is 142/77. Sigh. -I hardly slept on the Sunday night. I got about 2-3 hours of sleep but most of the night I was awake going over and over in my head that Linda is no longer with us. I also spent some of the night crying as well.-We had no rain today. Just sun. sun and more sun.

Exercise followed by food….like a late friend of mine who celebrated completing alcohol rehab with a six pack of beer.

Want to see Lurch dancing?Link

My goddaughter has instructions to come to GoComics if someting drastic shuld happen to me.I don’t want to be one of the ones that just disappear.I feel that I have friends here.

@beviekYou made me almost pee my pants.

One of my cousins calls chipmunks, forest tigers because of the stripes.

My daughter will email No.Six if anything happens to me.She may also log on to Andy.

Linda would be the first person to be asking, where are the pics? Cats/Dogs/Funny Sayings aint gonna post themselves, so get busy!I will be here, and with Lindas tutorials, I am going to try to get my geek on and post some of my own. Linda left me her house here in Chicago. The other 2 floors are rented out to a Dr. who is in her residency and an older retired couple, and the rents will go to her son Lennie and he will pay the taxes, and the lawn service. Basically all I will have to do is pay my own utilities. Chicago is a lot more fun than our small town in Rockford, MN, lots to do, see, eat, etc. and Lennie and Judith are family to me having known Lennie since before he had his first pimple, and I am Aunt Ruth to them. I am going to try to get our friend Ramona to join me. I am listing my house in Rockford for sale, and I know that it will sell quickly as its in great shape, new plumbing and electrical was put in a year or so ago. Ramonas house was done around the same time. She loved Chicago when she visited with us, so we will see. We are shipping Lindas ashes to Athens, Texas this week and will go down to see them interred in her mothers grave and spend time with her Texas relatives. She made sure there was a fund so that there could be a big party down there. Not a wake, a celebration of life and of love. She found that part of her family not that long ago, and truly fell in love with all of them. Her bequests to different members of that family reflect that. College scolarships to some. Money for boats or new trucks for others, and a new barn for one who lost his to a lightening strike and his cows(longhorns) were roughing it so to speak. She left a goodly sum to our local animal rescue back in Rockford, and left a hefty sum for me to look after the girls in thier own home to insure they get good vet care and lots of Whisker Licking treats. For me, this is a bonus because I have come to love Tinker and Belle almost as much as she did. They are beautiful, intelligent creatures and very, very loving, with a purr motor on Tinker that just wont quit. I know that Linda is walking with the love of her life; Ron, and holding their grandson; Little Ronnie and she is probably trying to talk God into letting her adopt all the big cats, and if thats not possible then to at lest let her feed and pet and play with them. I am so glad to have known and loved her. She was special, and didnt seem to know it. I have a very strong feeling that she will be reading Ten Cats, (her absolute favorite) Citizen Dog, Cleo and Company, Andy Capp, and Flo and Friends, Diamond Lil, and Speechless and guffawing loudly from where ever she is. As she would say, Ya’ll laugh and love each other and hold every moment precious, because it is!

I just asked. You don’t have to get Grumpy about it!

AW GEE RUTH! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO VISIT WITH US! MAY GOD BLESS YOU , LENNIE, JUDITH, TINKER AND BELLE, AND HER LITTLE DOG THAT JUDITH HAS ADOPTED, AND ALL OF YOU!

LINDA IS RIGHT, AND WE FORGET THAT ALL TOO OFTEN, HOLD EACH MOMENT PRECIOUS BECAUSE IT IS! AND FROM WHAT I HAVE KNOWN OF HER, THAT IS WHAT SHE DID!

I posted this a couple of places also.

Please post a photo of your Restaurant.

I’ll bet the daddy was the bunny…

good night
