Hee hee hee - my husband always makes me order the pizza, and the guy who takes the orders is VERY Indian - so between his Indian accent and my American one - well, let's just say that's my husband's sick idea of entertainment - listening to me try to put in the pizza order!  ::)

My husband says no one understands him here in the states so I have to talk when ever talking is needed. Order pizza or call the phone company. Anyone elses British counterpart do the same to you?

I REFUSE to order the pizza because our pizza place puts ORegano on the pizza which my kids hate so we have to tell them not to put it on but if you dont say oreGANO they act like they dont understand and I refuse to say oreGANO.

Well I'm a big nerd, because I packed mine up especially to bring over.  It's in the top of the guest room wardrobe with my college degree and transcripts.  Geek = me!   :-[

As an educator, that should be expected of you.  I don't have that excuse, but I keep my HS and Uni degrees in nice frames.  I'm just so proud of all that I've accomplished in life...and one day I may even have a "certificate" wall adding darling's Uni degree and our marriage certificate...yep, we are that geeky.
