Tell me something good!

In the states, billiards is the common term for the various versions played here. Technically billiards are a generic term, but we use it for 8-ball, 9-ball, 10-ball, straight pool, one-pocket, etc. 8-ball is the most common, but players have been known to switch games during a session. What you are referring to is English billiards, which is related to carom billiards. Back a long time ago, as a teenager, I used to hustle the GIs to play. The military tables were free, but due to the limited number (one), the only way to keep playing was to win. My specialty was making a long shot where the target ball was on the end cushion and being able to tap it just so where it would follow the cushion to the corner. Unfortunately, in 33 years of marriage, I have not been able to persuade my wife to get rid of the living room funiture and install a table.

Ten ball! Wait till I tell my son that tomorrow......he'll never believe another word I say!

Imagine a circular chocolate, shredded wheat, dried fruit and nuts cake and that's what I am having for my afternoon tea. A bit like choc crisps or choc cornflakes but in a round cake mould. Yum yum. Now that's good isn't it Marie!

Well I got to spend time with some of the best people in family, plus my better half, so that was good!

David! I am sure you have something. I am off to work now ~ so by the time I return you must have "something good"

I love that song too, "Tell Me Something Good" I Forget who sings it.

Chaka Khan and Rufus but no doubt Glee will sing it too some day. Daughter loves Glee, I'm being resistant or ignorant. Take your pick.
Bye bye Sweet P. Miss you already!

Last night I had a thick huge Porterhouse, cooked to perfection, with a side of brocolli, and pineapple almond ice cream for desert. The only problem was it smoked up the house.

Sounds wonderful! Except the broccoli. Can't eat those little trees.

Sounds nice! Is a porterhouse a steak! And the ice-cream sounds lovely.

So, I beat my son at ten pin bowling and pool, how good is that? Hmm, maybe a little bad thinking about it......although I showed him how to be a good winner by dancing on the pool table and shouting "loser......loser.....loser" whilst pointing at him!

Gotta put the youth of today in their place.

Yes, they are so good at telling us we are losers, it feels good to get our own back. Well done Gab!

Our payroll checks bounced. I can't stop crying. I am the proud owner of .52 F* cents.

Please. Tell me something good.
