We're visiting my father-in-law, trying to discuss my daughter's snacks without tipping her off so she doesn't immediately demand them, and explaining the concept to FIL's wife who is Romanian and so hadn't heard of it The Romanian equivalent involves inserting a rhyming "p-" sound after every vowel eg "snapacks" selec posted:it’s ack-snays THANK you

Lpzie posted:anybody having a beautiful day? Yes, actually. Feels like fall this week, where the temperature is merely brisk instead of freezing. My kids had a playdate at another parents house and that got them all tuckered out, so I'm looking at a peaceful afternoon.

Just had an inch of rain yesterday and overnight, which we needed. Now it's looking like clearing up, just in time to get some work done. Perfect weather, not too hot.

It really does own that their national hero's two names are "Dracula" and "Vlad the Impaler" Like, Dracula might actually be the less cool of those names

any bad rumors about dracula were simply propaganda from the holy roman empire aka the first reich, so that's basically a bunch of nazi lies
