Kitchen sink strategy

[MissHoneychurch]

I am sorry I need to ask but I never really understood that term. Could you please explain it to me?

1. Ever heard the phrase "everything but the kitchen sink".....

Means the campaign is down so far that they have to turn to desperately reaching for anything...so they're using everything but the kitchen sink...

[MissHoneychurch]

2. No, I never heard of that phrase

plese keep in mind, I am German, living in Germany.

[mscuedawg]

3. Ohhhh...my apologies! I didnt check your profile...

This is how its used here....when we go on a trip, my daughter packs everything but the kitchen sink. :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Not your fault

how are you supposed to know that a crazy German reads and posts on DU :)

OK, thanks for the explaining. Still don't really get it but that is something I need to figure out, not you :)

:hi:

6. I think its GREAT you're here!!!!

Dont try to "figure out" us Americans...we're pretty hard to explain!!

:hug:

7. I love the America I got to know

over the last years (and I don't mean the government but the people). And sometimes I feel more at home in the U.S. than in Germany.

So I feel very at home here on DU.

:hug:

9. Herzlich willkommen!

It means: "Aus Verzweiflung alles probieren was nur moeglich ist. Ein angenagelter Kuechenausguss ist keine Moeglichkeit."

12. Danke

:D

German yourself?

[Mira]

13. Oh yes. But American by choice. I have been here a long time, and love this country.

When Obama wins, I will sit back in my spare time and paint pictures, read books, and listen to music.
Should Racism or dirty elections take over, I am outta here. I have had enough in the last 8 years.

Though, I might go to law school, and become a prosecutor somewhere, get Bugliosi on my side, and prosecute Bush.

14. I love the U.S. as well

it is my dream to live there, but as it looks at the moment I won't live that dream. There are plus and minus for the U.S. and for Germany. Germany is winning right now.

I was a nanny in Davidson, NC 14 years ago and an intern in Savannah, GA 10 years ago. I miss it.

15. WOW - I'm in NC - Winston-Salem. Davidson County is less than 10 Min away.

I'm from Augsburg - by the way.

[MissHoneychurch]

16. Not Davidson County

but Davidson in Mecklenburg County.

I live in Frankfurt.

Now I am leaving into my weekend. Wish you a good weekend as well.

:hi:

17. Frankfurt /Main? - I was there 3 weeks ago - visiting a brother !

It was nice talking to you !

5. Sibling to the : "Throw it against the wall and see if it sticks" strategy!

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Does it work as well?

:sarcasm:

:hi:

[demmiblue]

10. Apparently, they are both failing miserably!

:rofl:


p.s.- I love your vacation pics that you post in the Lounge. I am so jealous!

[MissHoneychurch]

11. Not that I mind

:D

Thank you. If you go to my journal, I put all my pics there. (just a hint) :)
