About the hat, you'd have to ask the girl--the puppie, Miss Cleo, ain't talkin' . . .

To Our Dear Margo: Do you have any Ukranian customs for the holiday season you could describe for us? Special foods, perhaps . . . mmmmmmmmm . . . special foods . . .


You've done it too, Setanta! Confusing Ms margo with msolga! Laughing (farmerman has a similar habit.) Even though we both hail from Oz, margo is the cat woman from Sydney who speaks not one word of Ukrainian to my knowledge. (Though it would be a very amusing thing to see! Razz ) Msolga (me) is the cat woman from Melbourne with the Ukrainian peasant ancestors.
OK, I won't take it personally. <sniff> Merry Christmas! Enjoy the shops! :wink:

I just returned from a quick tturn in canadiana, it was shittty in (place name here). Cold wett slushy winds off Lab.
Msolga, I only did that once. My wife is knitting me a Lvovian Orange scarf.

I wish I could get an orange haat or scarf for my avatar of the General

You did it TWICE, farmerman! I'm keeping count! Twisted Evil Laughing

So you're going to scare the cows at Christmas in your pro-democracy Ukrainian scarf? (Oh god, the idea of a scarf is so hideous right now! It's climbing rapidly to 38 C here in Melbourne! A scorcher!)

I've spent some time in Rimouski.
A whole summer once, in a total immersion French program.
Nice community, but I wouldn't want to be exposed to the winds on the Gaspe this time of year.

Mea Culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa . . .

I'm so very sorry, Miss Olga, although i did remember who the one Ukrainian witch i knew was, even if i flubbed the name . . .

Hmmm ... OK then. But don't make a habit of this, Setanta, as it really, really upsets margo! :wink:

Nawwwwww - he doesn't need to go shopping with me, msOlga. We'll be with the hamburgers, and hamburger is the best shopper - he trained me well.

mrs. hamburger, setanta and the doggies can stay at the house, drink coffee and read.

Settle down! I'm much too lazy to get upset! (Unless you're that ignorant idiot who keeps blathering about Oz gun laws!)

and just you wait, Olga - after a few drinks, I'm sure Ukranian isn't beyond me! (well, English is, but other languages, who knows!)

I told someone the other day I was fluent in Swedish - they were right impressed, until I told them I only knew 2 words, but I was fluent in both of them!

Setanta - good to see you out and about - even as the Christmas grouch.

Merry Christmas.

Ooooooooooh! Very Happy Anticipating, anticipating ... Do you know the Volga Boat Song, margo? Laughing
