The reason is very simple, actually. The front yard is full. :P
In The Laxdaela Saga a Scotsman was buried in his own doorway. For over a hundred years he would fight anyone trying to live there and kick their ass until a hero came and kicked his ass. It is a great Saga.  :viking:

 Does your heart swell with Scottish pride when you read it?  :viking:
No, many of my family left Scotland ahead of lynch mobs or threats due to having wiped out enemies in "not the Highland way" AFAIK. They went to N. Ireland before coming to "the Colonies". http://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/Scotland-History/HighlandClans.htm Most of the rest of my ancestors were here by 1635 so I feel thoroughly attached to this continent.

 My mother's people came here from Ireland in the 1800s (though if her great-grandmother was indeed part Native,
 obviously some of the family was here long before).  My father's parents arrived from Austria in the early 1900s.  :viking:
I bet WWI was no picnic for your Austrian ancestors. Nobody ate sauerkraut anymore, it was liberty cabbage.

 My father grew up speaking German as well as English, but told me once that he didn't go around calling attention to that fact.  :chin:

Met my daughter's new bf and he is still alive.

I'm glad that you decided to let him live for now.

My husband was a little surprised when he met the boy who told me that he was in love with our daughter but he introduced himself very politely.  Our daughter goes to a different school now and the boy moved to a different town, so she never sees him anymore.

The bf seems to be a nice person, tbh.

Today's Good Thing so far is that I've had my morning coffee.

I went to b'fast by myself and rejuvenated my spirit, until I went home and reality reared its ugly head.

Thank you, I did.  Cheese grits, eggs and coffee with a Dick Francis mystery.

Aha, Lady Weeble has been using the Palace utensils when she has her clandestine picnics with you!  Well, that will soon end.   :evillaugh:

I remember my grandmother counting the silver after my brother's first wedding and going on about those Italians and how they make rings out of silverware :zombiefuck:  She was a strange one at times :laugh:

One of the cable channels is going to show a mini-series on the Gypsies of England.  I'm looking forward to watching it.
