Dobrý den! - Good day - I am ba-aack

[MissHoneychurch]

:hi:

Prague is a beautiful old city. It was rainy and cold most of the time but that didn't keep us from seeing a lot. Except the Jewish Quarter because of our bad timing and Jewish holidays :cry:

The food was good (OK, we mostly cooked ourselves) and the beer was tasty as well (I normally don't drink beer, so that means a lot) :beer:

I took a lot of pictures (I think 12 rolls of films in 8 days - I think that is record). As soon as I got them developed (I hope by Thursday) you will get to see some.

Any questions?

[billyskank]

1. No questions

Just welcome back :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

3. Thanks billy

:hug:

It is good to be back. I missed you

[In_The_Wind]

2. Welcome back!

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Hey Joani

:pals:

:loveya:

As much fun as I had it is also to be good back home. And back with you guys.

[In_The_Wind]

7. I managed to avoid MissHoneychurch withdrawal symptoms.

I don't think I drove anyone else nuts while you were gone.
I just went for lots of drives. And played with 10 rolls of film from NC. There is one roll in my camera that I still need to finish.

[MissHoneychurch]

10. Did you post some of the pics?

any links?

Now we can drive the Lounge nutz together. You with pics from NC, I with pics from prague :evilgrin:

[In_The_Wind]

15. Only a few so far.

[MissHoneychurch]

18. Nice

I know what you mean with taking pics over pics of sunsets and sunrises. I thin you have to take quite a few pics to get THE ONE picture.

[In_The_Wind]

34. The One ~ more like the three or four dozen great ones.

I am a fantastic landscape and nature photographer.
Plus I took one entire roll of pictures of Sugar Smack and gave her the film.
I haven't seen any of those shots but I know some of them were awesome.

[AirmensMom]

5. Welcome back!

:hi: No questions ... just glad to see you. :loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Thank goodness

I was afraid my report wasn't good enough for you :)

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

8. Oh, my ...

do I strike you as *gasp* hard to please? :wow:

It is good to see you -- I missed you! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

9. Not at all

I think I will "punish" you often enough in the next days with stories and pictures of Prague. No way to avoid it. Unless you put me on ignore (which I hope you won't) :D

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

11. Stories and pictures ...

NEVER are "punishment"! (I've done my share of posting pics lately, after all.) I can't wait! :bounce: Nope, my ignore list is REALLY short and you're not on it. :D

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

14. You shared pics?

links????

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

19. Well, thank the admins for journals!

Two pic threads at the top of mine and a good news story after that. :D :bounce: :woohoo:


:hug:

[no name no slogan]

12. Can't wait to see those pictures!

I am 1/4 Czech by ancestry, and my family came from Prague to this country back in the late 1800s. In fact, my last name is Czech. Unfortunately I've never made it there in my previous trips to Europe. :(

I'd love to see your pictures though. I bet they're great!

Welcome back! :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

13. I'm 1/8 Czech

the rest is German though (with a bit of Swiss from the other side). My great grandmother married a Czech guy. Her last name was Kurka. My last name is a lot more German ... LOL
My aunt was married to two Czech guys and lived in Prague in the 70s. She was with us in Prague last week. It was great because she still speaks Czech.

I hope my pics come out good. At least some of it. It wasn't really photgraphy weather since it was cloudy all the time (except arrival and departure days) and it rained in between. So I REALLY cross my fingers.

[billyskank]

16. I'm 100% geek

:7

[MissHoneychurch]

17. LOL

and we love you for that ... and other reasons :hug:

[Sugar Smack]

20. Welcome back!

I can't wait to see your pictures. :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

21. Thanks SS

any ... uhm ... interesting pics of you and Joani??? :evilgrin:

[Callalily]

22. Welcome back MissH

Glad to have you among us again! Can't wait to hear your stories and see your pics.

Also, it must have been fun having your own personal tour guide too!

[MissHoneychurch]

26. Hey SimplyF

looking forward to the morning threads again.

I was in Prague before as a kid. Not that I remembered much. We all were the guides this time. It was fun to see my aunt remember her time in Prague in the 70s. Where she lived, where she studied, where she worked, where she was hanging out ....

[Heidi]

23. Welcome back, gf.

:hug: I've never been to Prague, but an American colleague of mine says it's one of the most fascinating cities he's ever visited, and he has lived all over the world. Can't wait to see your photos, MissHoneychurch. :thumbsup:

[MissHoneychurch]

27. It is

there is so much history it is breathtaking. If you ever get a chance - GO!!!

[LynzM]

24. Welcome back!!

I'm glad to hear you had a good time! :bounce: Can't wait to see pics! *grin*

[MissHoneychurch]

28. Pics will follow as soon as possible

I hope there are a couple of pics worth showing *grin*

[reyd reid reed]

25. Welcome back

Sounds like you had a wonderful trip...I'm jealous.

[MissHoneychurch]

29. Yes I had a great time

Hradschin, Charles bridge, Karlstejn and and and ....

[barb162]

53. I really can't wait to see your photos

did you like the food

[MissHoneychurch]

54. I liked it

I love the Knedleki (dumplings). But then I knew before I went how Czech food tastes. Only thing is they like to pour pure fat over the meat. Without that it would taste even better. And their beer - yummy.
And I found this one sweet, called Trdlo. It is a sweet, thin rolling cake. Yummy, really really yummy.

(not my pic)

[barb162]

71. I love their food but never heard of this "trdlo"

yeah, the dumplings, yummy

About what time do you think you will post your photos; I don't want to miss them. I want to go there very soon

[swimboy]

30. I'm so glad you're back!!!

:hug: :loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

32. Me too

even though I had a wonderful time


:hug: :loveya:

[texanwitch]

31. My mother's side came from Prague, still have family there.

Welcome back.

[MissHoneychurch]

33. Have you ever been there?

if you haven't - visiting family is a good excuse to go. :)

[barb162]

52. A cousin went there and said Prague was GORGEOUS

[SeattleGirl]

35. Welcome back!

I'm glad you had a good time! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

36. Shameless kick

[SeattleGirl]

37. Waaaaaa! You kicked and didn't respond to my post!

And I welcomed you back too! :cry:

[MissHoneychurch]

39. I'm sorry honey

:hug:

wasn't done on purpose. Can you forgive me? I saw that you welcomed me back. And was happy about it.

-------------------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[MissHoneychurch]

42. Hey neweurope

thanks

:hi:

Will take the rolls of film to dm today and have them back Thursday. :bounce:

[neweurope]

43. If you don't post them right away I won't see them

Friday will be the last day I'll have internet for quite a while... And I also will be very busy packing on Friday. Saturday is moving day *sigh*

-------------------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[MissHoneychurch]

44. I hope to scan them in Thursday evening

and post them right away. Otherwise I guess I just have to visit you again and bring the photos with me :)

[neweurope]

45. A visit might be the better solution :)

Love your coming by! Also you must see the red-turquoise inferno! ;)

-------------------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[MissHoneychurch]

55. I would love to again

and with the furniture I am sure it looks not as bad as you make it sound :)

[neweurope]

60. I love it :) What I don't love is the dining room... I will have to do

that completely over, but never mind... It WILL be nice, one day :)

-------------------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[Robeson]

46. Yea! I'm so glad you are back. You have been missed....

...by me...:pals:

[MissHoneychurch]

48. Aww thank you

I won't be leaving again for such a long time till I am coming to the States. And then we will meet :pals:

[Robeson]

51. I can't wait! That'll be fun!....

...:woohoo:

[Random_Australian]

47. Hi there!

An easy question: In what musical piece were these words sung? "Freude schöner Götterfunken, tochter aus Elysium"

[MissHoneychurch]

49. Very easy question

lyrics are by Friedrich von Schiller, music by Ludwig van Beethoven. Beethoven's 9th symphony.

[Random_Australian]

56. There is no point in asking hard questions in the lounge ;)

If you ask the meaning of life here you'll be told it is a banana!
So what is the meaning of life?
Having fun?
Do you need a compass to tell which way the wind shines? (See you apologising to SG thread)
What is six times seven?
How many angels cannot dance on the head of a bald man?

[MissHoneychurch]

57. You know the answer to all questions

the answer is always 42. Period. :)

[Random_Australian]

59. O.K, what is seven times seven?

nyah nyah na-yah nah!
-----------------------------
O.K. heres one: If a guy walks on his toes, does it look like he's wearing high heels?:blush: I get tormented for it endlessly..... :cry::blush:

[MissHoneychurch]

64. I don't think so

it might look silly :hide: but I think a guy walking on his toes is still missing the fluent and sexy way a woman walks like on high heels (if she know how to walk high heels, otherwise it looks silly as well)

[Random_Australian]

65. meh. Thanks for the answer anyway.

NO-one is answering my other thread though..... *sigh* I hate that dropping like a stone habit if some threads :(

Another easy one: Is Prague in America? If not, how on earth can it be important? (My name should reveal the sarcasm in that, it is just a coded way of saying: See any big important shiny things you'd like to mention?)

[MissHoneychurch]

66. I don't know if there is a Prague in America

but I would guess yes since the people who came over there were so boring not to be able to come up with cool new city names :hide:

Prague is insofar important that it has the oldest university in Europe. And it is the city the 30years war started.

[Random_Australian]

70. Ooh... shiny!

Insult Americans all you wish... unlike us, they can't think up new names ;). (Aussie joke; there are no original names here, just English and Aboriginal.... like New South Wales, the state in which this random Aussie currently resides.....)

[NMMNG]

58. Welcome back!

:hug:

You were missed for sure. :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

62. Hey buffy

:hi:

it is good to be back. But I surely had a great time in Prague. Now it is back to work and there are some books piling up on my desk x(

[NMMNG]

67. Yuck

That's one of the few joys of my jobs. While I'm gone the work doesn't pile up, it gets done by whoever is covering for me. I don't have to worry about a mess when I get back. But then, I also don't have a decent salary either. :shrug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

61. Hey!

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

63. Hey

:hi:

[Clintmax]

68. Welcome back Miss Honey!

:woohoo::party::bounce::loveya::hug:
I'm glad you're back! I got back to Florida on Saturday evening and it was good to be back home! I hope you had as good of a time as I did! :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

69. CLINTMAX!!!!

Yes I had a wonderful time. Can't wait to show you the pictures

So good to see you :hug:
