WOOT my friend. Excellent. I knew you would be wonderful at this. I love them both. These are just wonderful :) Sorry I had to delete my comment. Don't forget to sign her Linky when she gets it posted :) Very well done :)
Great job! I hadn't heard of the second one.
We have the same saying in Dutch about throwing away the baby! Third rail I had never heard of, but that's what's FUN about this game, you learn new things each week! Thank you so much for playing!!!!
Well LOOK at you! Good goin'! I keep meaning to keep doing this - but every week I forget! I think once the alphabet ran out, I don't have something urging me on -- and I don't really THINK of idioms alot. I'll work on this and try once again for next week! LOL!
I'm so glad to see you playing along, Dr. John!
My dad's oldest brother was a big H0 train enthusiast and turned his entire basement into a "town" for his trains. Your second photo reminds me of Uncle Ronnie's Train Town. I'll have to see if I can dig up some old photos of it to scan and post.
Liked the Idioms Dr John, I heard the first one before but not the second on. When I was a kid we did have an 027 Train with the third rail.
I love that first photo! And I had no clue what "third rail" meant. Thank you!
Congratulations ! very nice findings ! Hope you will continue !
Good job! :-)
