Howdy peeps,
I am feeling achy and yuckky. Hope I am not coming down with something. It's been cold and grey here the last few days - that could have something to do with it too. What happened to spring?
I did not know that California had an accent. Been there lots. Can't think of anything outside of "valley speak" - fer sure. Not sure about the Pacific Northwest either. There's a southern accent - bless yer hearts y'all. There's the midwest accent - talk through your nose - Shi-CAH-go or shi-CAW-go and leave the g off of -ing words - as in I'm goin' to a meetin' you comin? Theres a New England accent - Wanna go get some bee-ahs (beers) and then go to Dah-leen's (Darlene's) potty (party) and play dahts (darts)? they also remove R's arbitrarily (riv-ah for river) and insert Rs where there are none - I sawr her warsh her face). I completely missed the aigs in Arkansas until Shad pointed it out. I was bowled over by the absolute thrill the waitress had in meeting Shad. I only noticed her excitement, not how she talked. Sweet girl.
There's a New York accent - WTF???????
Everyone I know from the NY area says WTF.
There's a UP accent - upper pennisula of Michigan - yah hey dere and you want me to sack your pop? (put your soda in a grocery bag?) I think there's a Virginia accent too. The folks in Indy-ann-ner have a few words too but I've been away from them for so long I can't remember them. I do remember people I've met from Indiana talking too slowly for me - I want to wind them up. However, I have a feeling that Annie can talk at a regular speed.
Annie - I am very sorry to hear about your DS
and prayers that he finds something quickly on the job front. They say we are slowly coming out of the receession - bits here and there but I think there are still a few hard roads ahead. Glad you are liking Curves. I had to laugh at the instant gratification we are all looking for. How come 2 bad meals show up right away and it takes at least 4 weeks of working out to notice just a smidge?
Ceejay - I did upgrade to IE8. Maybe that's why my Internet is sooooooo slow. Just kidding - it is slow but I don't think it's IE's fault. Besides, they have to patch so much after a while it's just better to start fresh with a new version.
Mel - I should be ashamed. You logged over 100 minutes last week and I logged the same in couch time. I will try and do better.
Michelle - got a kick out of your reasoning that Whole Foods salads are lo cal cuz you can't afford much
Are you the one who used to shop at Woodmans?
Ok Jolly - now you have me freaking about snakes. Guess DH will have to dig out the dried leaves under the azalea bushes himself. - Thanks for the pass
Ok, I'm yawning so much my eyes are tearing. Best hit the sack.
Seeing as how the only one up is Shad, what's going on where the sun is shining?
