bxgrl, I didn’t get any emails from you recently, not even in my Spam folder, so maybe EVLL changed my contact info on your computer. I’m going to email you now just to make sure you have the right address. Very strange.
“I bet most of us here could not pass the citizenship test without studying.”
I think most of you could. I got 10 out of 10, but the questions were really simple. I understand they’ve made them a bit harder now. You can Google the old list of 100 questions they used to advise people to study. They’re all rather straightforward.
As a sidenote, DIBS would have loved the guy who interviewed me for my citizenship. He was young and Filipino. And his accent was heavier than my mother-in-law’s.
On a similar note, I just heard a bird that makes this wonderful sound — have no idea what bird it is…it’s “the bird that let’s me know it’s spring”! They’ve come back on their way north! Two long whistles followed by a 2-4 quick short ones. Any ideas?

“I remember being so surprised to find out the Yuengling (sp?) is made in PA. I assumed it was imported from China.”
Me too! I didn’t know it until Obama paid off his losing bet to Canada with a case of Yuengling and a case of something else I don’t recall.
One of my cats chirps like a bird. Its very cute.
Tsingtao is communist china gov nationalizing a German brewery in China – guess German occupation did have its benefits
I had to study for the citizenship test. That’s cause I went to a public school in Brooklyn.
“I just heard a bird that makes this wonderful sound”
My British friend told me the same thing the other day.
Braggart…

Mourning dove, isn’t it?
Biff, Yuengling is the oldest brewery in the US. Good pick. I should have thought of that being a part-time Philadelphian
