Hey, the Tuesday Chatter Cafe is humming with chatter! Join me at the cafe where the world is muted at eleventy o’clock. Enjoy your cuppa as we chat about backward apostrophes, upside down commas, and dwell on ideas that are pure twaddle.

You’ll never guess what we saw
While hitchin a ride on the seesaw
Guffaw guffaw where’s the flaw
Guffaw guffaw where’s the law
Noodle the thought of what you’ve been taught
Don’t doubt yourself over what you have sought
Boom shhhocka locka morrows can’t be bought
Don’t muddle the puddle lest you get caught
Life’s an ongoing school three coins in the pool
Zip up your mouth and don’t be a fool
Don’t etch your mind with splintered echoes
You may lose out on the mellow yellows
Buy yourself a pair of stilettos
And rise above those morbid fellows

Thank you for getting the name of Soldier Field right. Even people who grew up in Chicago call it “Soldier’s Field.”

Yes, I’ve heard it called Soldier’s Field. I looked it up to be sure I typed it correctly.

‘Don’t etch your mind with crowded echoes’ stands true for a lifetime, We remain young, as long the echoes are not allowed in.

Hi, Eugenia,-
The prices/costs that you mentioned was quite interesting to me:
An average income in the US today – $ 38 000 In Norway : App. US $ 54 500
A house: $ 129 000 in Norway $ 275 – 300 000
And you should not complain (We should!) To fill up a tank of gasoline in Norway will cost you
approxiimately US$ 90, – (Prices vary throught the day/week and it could even be more if you’re out of luck!)

Don’t forget these prices reflect year1995, which all prices are much more inflated in 2017. Since my tags are difficult to see, which indicate the year I am referring to in my post, I will find another way to be more specific
