"Peeps" is another word here for baby chicks.from this I learned that 'bitties' are newly hatched chicks where you come from.
Ha ha! It would depend on what was for dinner. No pretty little fuzzy gray critters. (I get that they can be pests and destructive and all, but they are not pests to me personally.)I think we may as well go round to Tom's for supper Lisa.....

"Disney Girls"
Clearing skies and drying eyes now I see your smile.
Darkness goes and softness shows a changing style.
Just in time, words that rhyme, well bless your soul.
Now I'll fill your hands with kisses and a Tootsie Roll.
Reality, it's not for me and it makes me laugh.
But fantasy world and Disney Girls, I'm comin' back.
I think we may as well go round to Tom's for supper Lisa.....
Tootsie Rolls are more like chocolate flavored taffy. They're chewy little logs, with a flavor all their own. I think if you were handed one blindfolded without being told it's supposed to be chocolate, you might guess chocolate, but you might not be quite sure.
I'm making them sound unappetizing, but they're really okay, in a cheap candy sort of way.
Since you have them there already, I won't try to teleport one via the Internet.
I just finished supper, turned on the computer, and find that I missed two guests. Supper was spaghetti with hamburger meatballs, canned diced tomatoes, mozzarella, and the walking onions and cilantro I grow. And a glass or two of sangria for its blood-thinning qualities, of course.

candy floss
Oh hush. Am having a ham sandwich for supper. (I like ham sandwiches, but still.) See, Trojina, we should have actually fired up our backyard Concordes.
'taffy' what is that ? Do you mean 'toffee' ?
Does candy mean sweets and chocolate of all kinds
...like would it include for example fruit sweets you suck, or peppermints, and hard sweets...? What we call 'sweets' you call 'candy' I think
That is a word never used here...except for candy floss which is the pink sugar spun stuff you only get at fairs and so on.
what is a backyard concorde ?
okay I'll guess it's a barbecue....but I don't have a backyard either.
when I was 16 I worked in a laundry and an American girl started. She kept talking about the 'wash cloths'. I remember asking her to repeat herself...'wash cloths' ??? Finally I figured she meant flannels,
Flannel = a piece of cloth you use to wash with.....
'Biscuits' UK = 'cookies' US I think
.....but I have heard American people talk of eating gravy with biscuits and I don't know what they mean at all ? You couldn't possibly eat gravy with biscuits here because biscuits are small cookies. I mean they are small sweet things one eats when drinking tea or coffee and so on.
Oh and gravy is the juice of meat usually...so why would you put it on biscuits.
By the way - do any of you have problems distinguishing between links and normal text on this site?

Do you have anything equivalent to American biscuits? IF NOT, YOU ARE SORELY DEPRIVED. They are YUMMY, particularly warm with butter on them.
In message #71 of this thread I see the URL and "connotation" in blue while the other text is black. How does it look to you?
But here we call the wash cloth made of terry cloth a 'flannel' , as well as the other meanings
we have scones, which seem similar and put butter and jam or cream and jam on them...but I can't imagine why anyone would put gravy on them.
The text is black, and the links (to me) are very dark blue. I can't really distinguish them at a glance. I have to peer intently or hover the mouse if I think there might be links.
Sounds like you don't have a problem. It must be my laptop screen.
you might be able to improve your display by making changes in Customize Colors on the Control Panel.
