The Jaws theme, I love it I'm so glad the boys are having fun. Having the mites gone makes his life so much better. They don't forget when we help them, so he's interested in treating you better, even if he tends to be a biter. I'm glad he learned a lesson from his mishap, without having to get really hurt to learn it. My Zippy got a bum leg from taking off from the litter box too fast. It was a pulled muscle. He loved the massages I gave him, just as your boy loves having gotten the extra milk from you. I'll look for that cream, just in case I need it. The colloidal silver is definitely drying up and minimizing the eczema. It just seems to come roaring back to life when I get it wet, so I go into the pool with it all quiet, and come out with it looking angry. Someone asked me about the eczema on my leg, and I told them it was a birth mark. Better than getting into a long conversation about it being contagious or not, etc. I do think there are times when a little lie is just better than the truth, especially when the truth isn't something most people can understand, or want to hear. I had a friend with MS, and her neighbors kept asking when she was going to be better. She tried to explain, but they didn't want to hear it, or couldn't understand, so she started just saying "Soon, I hope," and letting it go at that.

Omg I get that. Every single day people ask me where I'm from because I have an American accent. I can't answer in some places so I tell them the truth is stranger than fiction.
I woke up one day with it...full accent, sudden onset. It's caused by Foreign Accent Syndrome. It's very rare and most people don't believe me until they look it up so I just try not to get into the discussion too much with people.
I've had it since December 2016. It never goes away when I'm awake, but apparently if I talk in my sleep I don't have it.

Very interesting!
Mind you, didn't you say you live in Canada? I'm awful at telling the difference between American and a Canadian accents, so it'd probably pass me by!

The two sets of accents aren't all that different, but if studied, I'm sure would have some major differences. Americans say Canadians end their phrases with "Eh?," but I've never heard one say that.

I've had people say I sound Texan and others say Georgia or Louisiana. The accent is thick and apparently very noticeable by my community peers.
Trust me the differences between Canadian and English American accents are huge when it comes to specific states in the USA. I have to be careful saying ice because it sounds like ass, and baking because it sounds like bacon. I get asked where I am from literally every day, multiple times.
If my brain is making changes trying to blend me in better to avoid abuse, well...wtf brain? Really?? π€πΆπ

It does sound like a deep south, US accent, more rural than city.
I'm sure the accents vary greatly, but I don't hear anything from Canada like our southern accents, or my Boston accent.

I don't even know the thing you're talking about eh!

When I say eh it sounds like "A" lol.
I say it when I can't understand what someone said to me if it's too loud in a room or they mumble.
I get really irritated and say "A"? π

I just had a quick look on youtube and could just find people imitating Canadians doing it, not anyone doing it organically!
We do the 'Eh?' thing (very informal) here in Yorkshire, if you haven't heard/ understood what someone's said though.

We do it, too, we just spell it Aye?, lol It's a step better than Huh? I've noticed, not to do with Eh, but just speaking in general, that everyone is starting their sentences with So. I have no idea why. I figure it's a Segway, but it's not a good one. Did you take out the trash? So, I took out the trash, yes. Eh?

Relevant movie trailer:
If you made a drinking game out of how many times they say "eh", you could probably get drunk on the trailer alone.

I would win, but not if it was a cussing game lol.
I had to buy pizza for my work crew at an old job once...only girl on the crew...and I won but kinda lost at the same time...errrr...hmmm...lol

Definitely lost. Next time, tell them you aren't buying until everyone else has bought their share. Even better, tell them you only have $5, but if everyone wants to chip in, you'll pick up the pizza. Dumping the whole thing on you, while you struggle to make ends meet, is not acceptable.
Hehe, I guess a drinking game can be about anything π€

A drinking game can definitely be about anything, but it eventually will cost you all your clothes if you're too drunk lol.
I remember college lol πΆ
Errr...and my early twenties. I am no good at games.
Except drunk Twister. I was awesome at drunk Twister. Not drunk Jenga though.

Haha! Sounds like you had some fun times!
I'm a lightweight when it comes to booze, so have always tended to steer clear of drinking games - they'd not end well for me, even in my youth!
