United States, 1929: The Preston

An early split-level house in the English cottage style. The floor plan is a fairly typical bungalow layout, but with the bedrooms and bathroom up half a flight of stairs.

New Home Plans by Curtis Companies, 1929 (Clinton, IA, USA)

Starting my rags to riches challenge on The Sims 4 with this floor plan.

An Incomplete List of the Animals my Grandpa brought home over the course of his 67-year marriage to Gandma:

Annabell, a solid white and completely deaf pit bull that used to let mom draw on her belly

The World’s Ugliest Tom Cat, who turned out to be the cuddiest teddy bear of an animal

Cocker spaniel named “Captain”

Stupid, the Cat

Litter of baby raccoons

Three more cats

A completely bald and extremely anxious canary that sang beautifully, but only at 4 AM

Baby Squirrel that grew up in the house and then refused to move out

A Genuine Thoroughbred Racehorse who was a spectacular athelete but had a habit of running races in the wrong direction. Benny turned out to be a terrific trail horse instead.

Turtle

Snapping Turtle

A bucket full of 43 goldfish left over from the fair. Mom counted once they were all in the bathtub in the backyard with the snapping turtle.

Another cocker spaniel named “Major”, who had the tremendous talent of eating green beans silently

Red-tailed hawk he found on the highway, and sucessfully nursed back to health and released.

Dummy, Son of Stupid

Strange, the dog that lived under the porch and only came into the house at night.

An “abandoned” baby deer.

Spooky, an alleged dog.

Joey the parakeet whose tricks were 1. drinking tea out of a tiny cup 2. threatening to peck out people’s eyes 3. wearing hats

A Really Big Toad he found behind the factory, because the other auto workers were discussing using it for target practice. Mr. Grumpity was guardian of the rosebed for several years and granny’s (his mother) favorite animal he ever brought home.

Gretchen, a St. Bernard that had to be shaved from her prior owner’s neglect, and spent a week hiding from sight with such success in the house that they thought she’d run away.

Arson, Burglary and Murder, three frankly adorable little kittens. They did not change the names, much to the regret of the cop who lived three doors down.

Yet another Cocker Spaniel, named “Colonel”

Cardinal (bird)

Canada Goose (Demon)

Once in the nursing home, he had a “pet” 12-point whitetail buck that would come to his window to be fed corn and get headskritches, inexplicably named “Florence”

The marriage only ended because thier time on earth did. He never kept an animal Grandma wouldn’t allow and if anything she was worse about it. She was the one who brought home a tarantula.

@indigopersei is the french language just always on the verge of getting someone accused of assault or..?

my friend, if only you knew

randomfandomteacher

It’s a very dangerous language to learn

party-bees-deactivated20181211

Here’s an interesting thing about French! Everything needs to have an article in front of it. That’s why it’s “la chat” as opposed to just “chat”. So, for instance, you could say la fille for the girl, or jeune fille for young girl, but you can’t just say fille, because that means you are calling her a sex worker in a derogatory way.

The moral of the story is, if you want to make something rude in French, just take out the article in front of it. Yes, this works for nearly. every. word.

#now I’m wondering how often my high school french teacher was silently screaming because of this little fact

Every year. Every year there’s that kid who forgets that you can’t translate “I am excited” to “Je suis excitée”. And every year Monsieur Jordan has to slam the brakes before that kid can finish his sentence and then tactfully ask him not to announce to the class that he is horny.

Ah yes Gordon Ramsay, american chef Gordon Ramsay, the chef from america, known for being american, that Gordon Ramsay

thaumaniac

Actually, this is the American form of Ramsay. The British form says nice things to children and prepares meals for his friends and family.

The American form is a gaping hellmaw from which anger flows like a broken dam.

partywithponies

The British form appears on kids’ TV baking biscuits with his youngest daughter and the actual Cookie Monster.

British Gordon Ramsey is the purest thing on TV. American Gordon Ramsey is terrifying.

thingsisaidweredumb

I just marathonned through all of Kitchen Nightmares US and let me tell you… US Gordon Ramsay is not that terrifying. Honestly, he really only yells when people don’t listen to him when he speaks normally or when he needs to express the gravity of something (like contaminated food). Even in Hell’s Kitchen his yelling is because people don’t listen to him when he speaks normally. The main difference between British Gordon Ramsay and American Gordon Ramsay are the people he’s talking to.
