Jellyfish Author Icon - I like 90s Britpop, too. 'Pulp' were one of my favourites. And 'Suede.' I also listened to 'K' by 'Kula Shaker' and the album 'Spiders' by 'Space' almost until they wore out.
Choconut Author Icon - I never got into Pulp or Suede, but I love Blur and Radiohead. And a little Oasis. Kula Shaker's cover of "Hush" is about the only song I know of by them. Throw in some one-hit wonders like "On And On" by The Longpigs, and something else I was thinking of. And The Verve are also amazing!! The 90s was a fascinating time for music, especially British bands!
Fivesixer Author Icon - It really was. I completely forgot to mention Radiohead. I loved those guys. 'The Bends' was probably my favourite album of theirs. I know most people would say 'OK Computer' (which I also love), but 'The Bends' did it for me. "Street Spirit' ... ahh, love it. I also forgot to mention my favourite band of the 90s — Manic Street Preachers. Those guys are amazing!

Bet you didn't know Delaware is known (at least among business people) as a great state to incorporate your business through or whatever it's called. It's a very business-friendly state.
Schnujo NEEDS to do homework Author Icon - To be honest I don't know much about Delaware at all! *Laugh*
It's not just you, Jellyfish Author Icon. I'm sure most people in the US don't, either. Even business people, I'd say I've listed the 1 of only 2 facts they know about it and that's perhaps being generous. I HOPE they know it's in the northeastern US, but also, I've been shocked at what people in the US do NOT know about our own nation and geography.

When I was living in both Alaska and Hawaii, when I would try to order things from places, not uncommonly, I would be told they don't ship to foreign countries!

My friend in Texas was also told (LONG before Trump) when she was trying to get married that she was a foreigner because she was born in Alaska because the person at the courthouse didn't know Alaska was a state. What in the world, people?!?

Then when I posted that here, someone from New Mexico said they got that all the time. Apparently, people think New Mexico is part of Mexico.

And because the US is so large and spread out, with Alaska being so high up, next to Canada and Hawaii being so far down and in the middle of the ocean, they are often cut both out and put them next to each other in the bottom left area of the map for convenience. When I was in Utah, I was living in Alaska, talking about how cold it got there, and someone challenged me on it, saying it couldn't get that cold "because it's right next to Hawaii"!

OMG!!! WE'RE DOOMED! THE US IS DOOMED!!! LOL

Krista, this poem is a gem! Your granddaughter’s lucky to have such a witty Mimi spinning rhymes like this. The “THUD” and “thump” hit just right for those grumpy mornings, and I can totally see my 4th-grader Silas relating to glaring at his bear. (That's me, his Papa bear.) That “grump it out” line’s a keeper—might steal it for our next family meltdown! Perfect for the 4th when we’re all a bit “soggy” from too much beer, booze, and boomers banging. Did you read this to her yet?

At the start of this year I had about 800 CR and I thought , I would try to get to 900 CR by the end of the year however midsummers day has just passed and I have hit my 900 mark - largely thanks to the "5 a day" and all the lovely people who have sent me a Merit Badge this year.

NEW SEASON OF L*Heart*VE ISLAND STARTS TONIGHT! *Delight*

It's my favourite show!

What trashy show do YOU like to watch on TV to "escape" real life ? *Laugh* *Pthb*

I don't really watch a lot of tv anymore. When I was a teen, I was addicted to Saved By The Bell. LOL I am more into reality shows or documentaries now when I do watch tv or an occasional movie or 2.
I am a Survivor Fan. That's my Reality TV that I love.
Dear WDC I'm sorry but it's nearly midnight UK time and I have been out all day so have not had a chance to post on the Newsfeed, so this is my newsfeed post. I am sorry this is a boring post. Love to you all 😁🩷🤪

ruwth Author Icon - You are too kind. I would just block the person. Problem solved. No one should stop you from doing what you want.
ruwth Author Icon - Okay thanks - I don't think I mind if people can comment on it. That's horrible that someone left you nasty comments though! I think I will try that whilst I am taking part in this blogging challenge at least as I want the posts to count towards getting the badge *Smile*
Jellyfish Author Icon - They did not leave nasty comments. They just left long, long, long comments which were completely unrelated to my blog posts. It was almost like they were using MY blog to create their own platform...*Shock*
A day late and more than a few dollars short, but Happy Birthday!
