Making a Mountain out of a Molehill by Giving It a Name ...
NOW IT'S: NOT THAT LONG AGO IT WAS:
chemical dependency = drug addiction cost-effective = economical pasta = spaghetti; noodles cocooning = vegetating gourmet deli = corner grocery disposable income = take-home pay Type A personality = hothead party animal = raucous drunk networking = socializing; �elephoning parenting = raising kids calamari = squid faux = fake reduction in staff = firing; layoff journalist = newsreader perfectionist = fussbudget gentrification = taking over slums modular interior storage unit = shelf grazing = nibbling on appetizers flatware = knives, forks, and spoons Epstein-Barr virus = sluggishness convenience store = the five-and-dime alternate lifestyle = weirdness |

Excellent (and unfortunately true...)!
Looking over the original list and realize that even some of them are dated. Who ever hears of Epstein-Barr virus anymore? |
Re: Making a Mountain out of a Molehill by Giving It a Name ...
A friend told me that the difference between noodles and pasta is.....

ah hem, Mr. Sidney, dahling. I had the Epstein-Barr virus when I was in my thirties and was house bound for over a year. More severe than Mono. I think they call it "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" now, but believe me it's real and extremely debilitating. :-* Kisses to you and HB anyway! ;D

Chelsea dahling yourself, I had EBV back then as well, actually diagnosed by some bizarre blood test of circulating immune complexes (sounds more psych than medical...), a test that the insurance lobby managed to get discontinued from public use because it was so costly. Will tell you the details personally if you're interested, but it was pretty accurate. Now they do indeed call it CFS, and it is indeed real.... We're looking forward to seeing you and Vetman when we're back!

uujudy: That's like what we were told when we asked what the difference is between an Amarillo Ranch and a Bougainvillea Designer, which have identical floor plans and dimensions: 'Oh, about $35,000!"

Amarillo = noodles Bougainvillea = pasta Or is it the other way around? Did you customize yours with modular interior storage units in the garage? ;) |
Re: Making a Mountain out of a Molehill by Giving It a Name ...
We bought a resale (Bougainvillea), so the garage came with whatever modular interior storage units that were already there. It also came with some shelves....
