At NewStar, the relaxation starts with the rules of spelling and continues right through to the Happy Ending.

Thanks once more to Pil and her eagle eye! One more hi-lair-ree-us foto and she’ll have her Cow Merit Badge…

So what happens if your ending is not so happy? Or you are not relaxed? False advertising? Can you sue for this?
I am still thinking about roasted chicken and my roasted carrot soup didn’t turn out well last night. I used fresh thyme, but for some reason is tasted strange. Disappointing.
I have to admit that the Food Here has been guilty of some questionable signage itself.
The notice I posted on “freshly laid eggs†was particularly unclear and could be read in a number of different ways.
MI:You can, it seems, sue people for pretty much everything except bad spelling. As for the carrot soup, well, perhaps if you left it for a couple of days – the missing ingredient might be ‘time’ rather than ‘thyme’.
Ram: Yes – the sign should unquestionably have read ‘Freshly Lane Eggs’.
I am Laine
Enter via me.
But careful, please
I am a little
ticklish.
Why spell, look at the internet
I was under the assumption that you already have a “cow badge” my dear, I see you wearing/using it on an all-too-frequent basis around the castle.
I’m usually the unwilling recipient…
The King
Pil should start her own blog
Janelle Strangepants: Take that chicken out of your pants and they won’t look so strange.
Malach: Why go that far? We just read your comments.
Pil: To quote Roy Batty: ‘That’s the spirit!’
King Willy: Oooooooooh. No gingerbread for you this weekend.
Nurse Myra: Like I keep telling her.
keep plugging away….. it took you over a year to convince me :-)
The Reverend is pretty much always right.
