Hey, did they change the smilies? they look different.
When my dad died (as well as when my grandparents died) no one brought food, but after the funerals, we all went out to eat en masse. I guess bringing food is a regional thing.
I think so.
I got into a tooth spitting argument with some Yankee on the board about whether Maryland is Southern. 
I must disagree, Rosie, and risk being put on The List again. I feel the smilies have somehow mutated into alien creatures. Look at the eyes on this one: Looks a hell of a lot like this, doesn’t it? Well, if it were to smile.

I’m probably in a minority that just doesn’t care about that period of unpleasantness, since neither side of my family was in this country until the early 1900s, so it wasn’t our war. But personally, I never considered myself to be a southerner, I don’t have a discernible accent, and I don’t like grits. 
There you go.
Still looks like a damn alien to me.
the dubious smiley still looks the same. :dubious:
All the smilies look the same to me - I’m thinking youse peoples are losing it!!! :eek:
I don’t see what is so damn dubious about that.
**{{{swampy}}} **Is this now going to be a Memorial Lenten Fish Fry?
I finally called the lawyer place about the wrong tax form. I got a very nasty woman on the phone. Very tempted to call her back and say “Thank you for reminding my why I left Pirateville and all the hateful, hateful people that live there.”
Heh. While I was typing this, the lawyer called me back and explained the form to me. It’s actually reflecting half the indebtedness of the mortgage and there is no real money involved. Maybe I can get my taxes done next week. (For the record, the lawyer was nice. There are a few like that in Pirateville. Very few.)
I found an old short film that was a class project back in 2006. That was also back when I was about 70 lbs overweight. After I watched it, I went into my bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. I could still stand to lose 15-20 lbs, but I’m nowhere *near *as big as I was back then. The DVD is now living in the trash can. I’m *never *letting myself go like that again. I say this having skipped today’s walk because it’s bloody cold outside.
Way back when i got married my in-laws (now ex) in Pa wanted to know why I didn’t speak with a Southern accent being was from the south and all.
No accent but I do like grits. y’all can keep the okra though.
Home from letting dogs out. It’s cold outside.
That one* looks like a stereotypical Japanese guy from a 1942 Bugs Bunny cartoon.
THE UP EYES SMILIE IS GONE!
YOU BASTARDS!
<-constipated.
Where y’all from, Sahirrnee?
I’m still waiting for them to bring back the Jewish smiley.
flytrap, do you mean this one: :rolleyes: ??
Maryland.
Born in Baltimore and raised in the Armpit of Anne Arundel county.
I do say y’all, because it sounds better than youse guys ::shudder::.
However, my father was from PA and my mother is from WV, so I got a mix. Every now and then something a little southern will slip out.
I worked hard to get rid of wutter(water), mirrow(mirror), worm(warm), and worsh(wash).
I never picked up dez, dem, and doz, no zink or Dezember.
I call the police, not the PO-lice.
And you will never hear me say Bawlmer or hon.
In Arkansas, of course, we speak perfect English. 
Mrs. Plant (v.2.0) hailed from New York, and hated for me to call her “Baby”.
She didn’t like “Bitch” either, so I settled for “Hey, You.”
I have the old smileys on the laptop; I wonder how long it will last.
:rolleyes:
Spaz yeah, I guess it will be a sort of memorial fish fry.
Chili hit the spot today. It’s icky out so I decided to stay in tonight, so no Evening Prayer over to the church house. It’s rainin’ hard out as I post. No desire to be out in that.
Ham is doin’ it’s thang in the roaster oven thingy. N.O.T. sallit is made and beans are cooked. The rolls are of the heat 'n serve type.
Time to assume the knit position.
MWAH!***
of course you do :rolleyes:
Whenever a man calls me baby, or honey, I think it is because he has to use a pet name because he’s afraid he’ll call me by the wrong name. I’m suspicious like that.
My computer or this site is screwed up. I have to sign back in every time I leave and the screen looks different but I can’t figure out why.
