i am so proud.
just got my grade today in the mail.
not bad for an old lady who hasn't looked in a school book for a very long time!
Hi Lindy,
Don't think we've met but wanted to say congrats to you! I know what it's like...finally graduated from a 2 year college (took 3 years lol) and am nervously anticipating beginning university in the fall! Here's proof that it can be done!
Way to go

it means "i'll swear," and the quote is incorrect.
it's actually, "i'll swannee," or "i'll swan.
Hey waiting,
Whereabouts in SC are you? I have family in Pickens and Six Mile (not that they talk to me anymore and I'm actually glad they are that far away...but that's beautiful country up there. They speak southern better than I do! LOL
BTW, I love fried okra but not that boiled stuff...looks like snot! And I hate greens but I love a good glass of (sweet) iced tea.
Hey Bill....when I spent some time in the Carolinas, I heard some strange tale about RC colas and moonpies....??

couldn't reply on original thread, so will try here.. the brits sometimes use a form of rhyming slang.
it's origins are with the cockneys i.e.
east-enders of london.. so 'apples and pears' means stairs.
Expatbrit...
Never been to London...would love to go! But I gotta tell you, there ain't no way in hell I'm ever gonna get the hang of that goldurned slang!!! LOL...I have NO idea what (or where) it is you're going!!!
I'm fixin' to lose my mind

Hi Ozzie ,
I have been bemoaning the fact that I can't attend the Sydney BBQ...I'm sure it will be a blast...thanks for the above info however, I fear my brain doesn't twist in those particular directions...trust me, I'm twisted in other ways tho'!
Thanks for the lessons in Strine...goodonya mate!

(Feeling chagrined to have put the contraction in the wrong spot on "y'all)
Bill is absolutely right about the use of y'all, tho...we don't use it to mean only one person...have to be at least two, otherwise we say "you". (pronounced: yew)
But I must take exception to his comment that anything south of Gainesville is a southern province of New York..I was born and raised in Polk County, central Florida (LOVESDUBS...Howdy neighbor!) and I want you to know we have our share of confederate flags, toothless white trash and trailer parks! LoL..we also have our share of educated southerners, backwoods swamp people who are the salt of the earth, and the ever-present rednecks. It's an interestin' mix, let me tell yew! I'm fixin' to go get some vittles and have some supper...y'all come, set a spell, and make yourselves to home!

BTW...when I was kneehigh to a grasshopper, a "Coke" was any type of soda...not just a coca-cola.

Hey ya'll!
If I missed it, I'm sorry but I don't recollect seeing the "I reckon" phrase...as in, I reckon it might rain....or better yet, It's comin' up a cloud...reckon it'll rain?
Thanks for the southernisms! Some of these I haven't heard in years. I know a lot of folks think Florida doesn't qualify as a 'true' southern state due to the influx of northerners but I'm a native (albeit without much of an accent anymore ) and a lot of my family came from backwoods of Georgia...how do ya'll like my credentials?? lol
BTW...has anyone mentioned the "Bubba" phenomenon??

as you all know, those of us who are in the confines of the penal colony of new south wales will be getting together for a bbq gettogether next sunday may 27th.
so if you live near sydney or within a reasonable travelling time and you like the idea of getting together for talking, sharing experiences, whatever, get the details of the time and location, and the security arrangements by e-mailing [email protected].
now, are you ready for today's lesson?
Thanks Prisca...I think I've figured out what a sheila is...an intelligent person??? LOL...Actually, I love this aussie speak. What is it about you aussies and UKers that makes you such wits?? And expatbrit..."Adam and Eve" it? ROFLMAO...I can only imagine what that one means!!
Thanks everyone, I needed a laugh

one day, an expert in time management was speaking to a group of business students and, to drive home a point, used a illustration those students will never forget.. as he stood in front of the group of high-powered overachievers he said,"okay,.
time for a quiz.
" and he pulled out a one-gallon, wide-mouth mason jar and set it on the table in fornt of him.. he also produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar.
Thank you DA for confirming my belief in the judgemental, non-thinking ability of most JWs and other fundies....
Mommie Dark....ROFLMAO...I couldn't have said it anywhere near as well as you did and I totally agree with you.
DA...I'll try to explain this in simple words so that you will understand: First, I am not offering you a damn thing; that's not my responsibility and, if you'll notice, I made no claims in my post to the contrary. You'll also notice I did not ask you for any help in that area as that is not YOUR responsibility. I have no problem whatsoever if you want to worship God, Jehovah, Jesus, Allah, etc. etc....however, I do have a problem with people trying to cram their belief systems down my throat.
Secondly...you ask "where's the beef?"...I wasn't aware of sharing any beefs with you in my post...I am aware of sharing one, ONE mind you, of the positives in my life currently. I am not interested in sharing with someone of your limited compassionate abilities anything else of my life that I find satisfying or joyful. As for making your life better, I suggest that you stop asking others to figure that out for you and start attempting to think for yourself...but then, that's just MHO.
One more thing: You mention "damning someone" for their beliefs...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You've got to be kidding me! You're the only one I see jumping on anyone for their opinions! At least, until now...
