    Yeah, of you're from there and have an ear for the accent, you catch the subtleties that most people can't hear. I've been on the phone with customer support people before and could tell they were from coastal New England.

    Funny this is though, everyone back home thinks I talk like I'm from California and everyone from California thinks I talk like I'm from New England.

    I have an identity crisis now...

    I don't know why, but my cousin and her mother say "sugah" and "dollah".

    Um, stop it.

    We're all from the same place, damn it.

    It has its roots on the English accent that influenced speech on the Northeast. There are pockets in the south where the dialect is very similar to the Brahmin Boston Accent

    Yeah, that's what I took last night.

    I use to take an aspirin a day but I developed a sensitivity. Aspirin makes me itch.

    I went to Ancestry and briefly looked at their family history. I got to a maternal grandfather from Alabama. Other than that, they are all from Georgia on the mother's side, which I thought might have the biggest influence on how these two speak.

    Then keep it handy, please. In your pocket, purse, or somewhere you can conveniently get to it. Maybe have a bottle in the house, car, etc.

    Yes, good idea. I'll put a little emergency aspirin in several places so I'll be sure to have one.

    I just made my monthly supply order for vaping and I ordered a lower nicotine strength. That had been my intention all along - to gradually lower the strength until I conquered the addiction. I hadn't done it at all until now but last night's event has me serious about getting off this shit.

    I've traded for the vape successfully and now it's time to lower that nicotine addiction.

    Well the works pretty much all squared away time to sit down drink a few cold ones & enjoy the evenin'. Roast later can't wait. Only slight damper on the gas is that the gal I like can't attend but that a real minor detail. Let the good times commence! Yeeeeeeehaw!!!!!
