It's like wrestling with an alligator! So I think eveyone just gives up. The rest was just my April Fools response to some of my frustrations with the French bureaucracy. It's legendary. I hope my French friends understand that it was truly all in fun.<br /><br />Julie: I brought back 9 pairs of reading glasses, Skippy Superchunk, 3 rolls of Press n Seal, and numerous little kitchen gadgets. We are the same person! As for the Press n Seal...I show it to my French friends at parties. It's better than the spoon-on-the- nose trick. If I could really import it, I know I'd make a fortune!<br /><br />Anon: I know who you are and I know where you live. I have, however, never seen your underwear!<br /><br />Aneye: Welcome. I'm so glad you're here and I appreciate the kind words. I'm on my way to check out your site now. In fact, I love my name (now) too. It's been passed on through my family for 200 years. When I was a child I just wanted to have a "normal" name. Now I wouldn't trade it for the world.<br />Chausette: The strikes aren't a joke when we need to get somewhere as you well know! I tried to mail 3 birthday cards last week...the first time in 6 months...and guess what? Greve à le Poste!<br /><br />Moxie: being able to write "news" that is, in fact, BS, is like riding a bike...except this time I get to admit it's BS!<br /><br />Thank you all for reading!Delana@dujourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319475424591739125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954745049002985163.post-87979869706009819102010-04-03T13:28:51.021+02:002010-04-03T13:28:51.021+02:00"Spoken" like a true newscaster!

Plus A1 Steak Sauce, chunky peanut butter, cheap reading glasses and all sorts of little housewares and gadgets from Walgreens and Ace Hardware. If only I could bring Lean Cuisine, which is usually 5 for $10 at Pick N Save, compared to 4€ or 5€ each at InterMarche.

To learn what goes on from someone...I had no idea!<br /><br />To learn what goes on from someone familiar with life in France is quite eye-opening.<br /><br />All I can say is Why? Why don't they want Gladwrap? Why don't they cover food in their refrigerators? This is all so interesting to me.<br /><br />Are we, our customs and life here, so strange to those in France?JoAnna Boccardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09332701207501887359noreply@blogger.com
