This was Mr. Mike's last post! Aug. 15, 5:32 p.m.!
You think he was trying to tell us something??? Maybe this is a secret message!! Sounds like a case for Macca PI! Hope I'm up to the task! This could be big! ♥♥♥Last edited on Aug 18th, 2006 12:13 pm by macca

Howdy, Macca! Ain't no tellin' where Mr Mike wandered off to. He might be in a fried balogny stupor out behind a BIscuitville somewhar.
Hoo wee! It shore feels like back to school weather today. Ol' Man Autumn is a-sneakin' up on us. Young Man Summer ain't quite ready to vacate the premises yet though.
Pappy ain't seent many mornin' in fogs in August. Accordin' to the Ol' Timers, that's the indicator o' how many snows we's a-gonna get. Might hafta enhance the probabilities with a leetle roof dancin'.

| Pappy! I remembered that you had mentioned that but hadn't noticed much fog this month either. Roof dancing sounds good to me if you think it would work! We've had extreme heat, I'd like some extreme snow!!! ♥♥♥

Good Mornin' Ya'll!
Pappy thanks for reminding everyone to do their roof dancin' early. It can't hurt to get an early start. I'm wishin' harder than ever for a good snow (or 2) this year!
Macca.... I know you think I can do anything cause you're my friend  , but I can't. I just like learning new things! My shoulder is SCREAMING in protest of my new pressure washing hobby!
Where's Mike?

Ok, so it's contaditory. I meant I am a rebel! Oh, forget it!
Aren't language differences fun?
I'll never forget the first time I heard a NC child say, "It done quit rainin'" I had the strongest urge to ask him where he went to school, then I thought, I'd rather not know.
And where did this "fixin" thing come from? When we fix something it is cause it is broken?
Love Ya'll!

Moving from New England at 8 doesn't count you have to be there at least 20 years to hang onto the accent. I was in MA for 36 years, my hubby says mine has softened around the edges but if I am on the phone talking to my brother when hubby walks in, he can tell who I am talking to cause he says that Boston attitude kicks right back in!
I go home at least once a year sometimes twice so I get it honed up a bit every 6 months.
When I left MA I first moved to Mobile, AL. Talk about culture shock! It was a bit too South for me. North Carolina is a good balance.

My Dear Blessings,
It is "fixin to" not "fixin"
An example would be I am fixin to post a spin that will set you Yankees straight.
Bless Your Heart

Oh, so let me see if I understand if you say "fixin to" that means you are preparing to do something, but if it is just "fixin" that means you are going to repair something?
I have noticed that the difference between Northern language and Southern language is not only the Southern accent being prettier but the wording of phrases is much more colorful down here. I am beginning to think that we northerners have a very boring vocabulary.

I think you're catchin' on Blessings! "Fixin' to" means that you are "fixin' to" do something. Sorta like hmmmm... I'm fixin' to go to the Food Dawg to get me some peanuts to put in my coke..... or I'm fixin' to carry my youngun's over yonder and I reckon I'll be back before supper.

oops! might have confused you even more with that last post of mine Blessings!!!
We southerners have 3 meals a day just like ya'll northerners do, but instead of breakfast, lunch and dinner it's breakfast, dinner and supper here. 
AND before you dispute the southern use of the word "CARRY"...
Dictionary.com defines the word CARRY as
carry
n : the act of carrying something
v1: move while supporting, either in a vehicle or in one's hands or on one's body;
2: have with oneself; have on one's person; etc. etc...........
So, I figure as long as a politician can carry a home state and someone can carry a tune, I can certainly carry my younguns somewhere....unless I need to tote them instead!

Lacka.... we could make Blessings an "honorary southerner" since himmer is so interested in getting all the facts straight. Don't ya think??
Course we'd have to call himmer "Tammy" and you'll have to explain the Sweet Potato Queen's philosophy on friends being called Tammy. Last edited on Aug 18th, 2006 07:44 pm by Cracker Jax

You guys are wicked funny!
I have tried it all guys, the southern language with a Boston accent doesn't quite sound right. Kinda like a rusty nail going through your head!
I guess if I am here long enough it will just kinda happen. Once in a great while a Ya'll slips out but my brain kinda slips a cog when it does. I can actually feel my head skipping like a bad spark plug!
And I still can't get myself to make cornbread stuffing on Thanksgiving. And you are suppose to cook the stuffing INSIDE the turkey not in a casserole pan, AARRGGGHHH!

You wanna be Tammy too Macca??? Totally do-able!!!!
See, that chick who is the QUEEN Mother of the Sweet Potato Queens (Jill something or other... Connor maybe) told her friends that she was writing a book about the south and she wanted them to pick a "name" to be called in the book cause of course she didn't want to use their real names.
The friends all fought and squabbled over who was gonna be called Tammy so to save their feelings she told them that they could ALL be Tammy.
Now, When she refers to her friends, she says "Me and Tammy were fixin' to go out" or something like that, and you (the reader) never really know which Tammy she's talkin' about.
All the Tammys are happy though.....
If any of you (men or women) haven't ever read a Sweet Potato Queens book, get The Sweet Potato Queens Book of Love and read it. I promise you'll thank me.
