Now “Carling” sounds exciting!
Americans play curling?
Thanks for including Alan’s post!
I never dreamed I would be laughing at “curling humor” in a Best of Money Carnival! Did you and hubby compete (or spectate) in the tournament this weekend? If so, how did you do? I bet you never knew I could be this chatty.
Thanks for hosting … it is an honor to be included!
We love curling up here in Canada…right up there with igloo making
Thanks for including my article on the offer on our house…and just to update you, the offer officially went through on Friday, woohoo!
@Glen, lol!
@Tom, yes, even we Americans Curl sometimes.
@Joe, my husband competed and came in 3rd in Event A (which is third for the whole tournament, woot!). I’m a Curling groupie, lol. I hang out with the Curlers not on the ice and joke around or go down to the ice during my husband’s big matches and jump up and down like crazy.
@Echo, hahaha, igloos. The winning team this year was from Toronto…apparently Canadians start Curling in the womb or something.
Congrats on your offer going through!!! Yay!!!
Thanks so much for including my post! I’m so honored to get the #1 pick!
My favorite factoid about curling is number 1, “watched by dozens of people every year.” Haha!
