wintermom Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Uff da is Norwegian or something. Yes, it is Norwegian. Another similar expression is "Uffa meg!" Translates roughly to "Oh my!" - only it sounds cooler and it's a tad harsher. if you want to swear in Norwegian, you can say, "faen i helvete!" It's harsh, but only if you understand Norwegian. Otherwise it sounds like some kind of cheese or a baby deer. :laugh: Or perhaps it's a baby deer eating some kind of Norwegian cheese. (which is delicious, mind you) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Well, little dd asked if I had ever been drunk, and ds14 took that as his chance to spill all he knew.* :ohmy: So then I lectured him while pointing a pencil about how he should not tell anyone else's story. :thumbdown: So then ds12 snapped some real jewels, like ones for the Christmas card! :huh: I deleted them. No, thanks. *The teens in my home get more information than the elementary set. You have no idea how much I wish I was a fly on your wall. :lurk5: :lurk5: :lurk5: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Did my core exercises. I'm not used to having dh home in the evening. I told him that if he wants to live a long and happy life he will not stand there watching me doing my exercises. He prudently decided to leave for errands. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Do you do floors, Duckie? Come on down! Yes, but ONLY if the house is kid-free. As I tell my dh every Saturday, you take 'em all out for the day, and I will happily mop every floor in the house. It usually takes about 4 hours. (30min to mop, 10min to dry, 20 min to make my lunch, and 3 hours to fritter away mindlessly on the forums.* ) * I don't usually itemize my activities like that for dh's benefit, though. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been off for 5 years or so, and I live in a blissful, ignorant bubble, where all my friends and extended family are reasonable, lovely people... because I have no idea what sort of nonsense they are spouting on FB. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 As for me, I'm doing homework. Don't worry, I actually slept, it's just that I woke up reaaaallly early, and needed to finish an assignment I was supposed to post on the discussion board last night. It wasn't toooo late, only about 4 hours. She doesn't care. She cares more about the assignments that are a week behind because of the whole kicking-hubby-out fiasco a week and a half ago. Yep. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother snapped a picture of me one family gathering as I gave a child the "you have lost your mind and all wrath is getting ready to descend on you" look. It was lovely.

swellmomma Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I don't know what is wrong with all you folks. In my house I am well known for my composure and meekness. My children behave well 100% of the time and do so while loudly proclaiming how blessed they are to have such a saintly mother. I have to admit there is very few photos of me, the glare off my halo ruins them all. :lol: ANd if you believe any of that you are welcome to come hang out in my tropical cabana here in Alberta :P 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
