76% Dixie! Damn! But I grew up in Maryland, which was neutral during the War..
Funny thing though. Once when I lived in Dyke, Virginia near Charlottesville, a couple of good old boys told me that I wasn't "that bad a guy for a damned Yankee". To which I responded; "I am neither Yankee nor a Southerner. I grew up in Maryland which was neutral during the Civil War". To which Junior Schlifflett replied; "Ah! Now we know you a Yankee Keb'm! Cuz there was nothin civil about that war! That was The Woah (War) of Nawthen (Northern) Aggression! Nothin civil about it!" And they laughed as they clinked their beer cans..
Oh, if only they could see my score from this test today!
You are correct, Houston. The entire word means "gardener" - - and I am really a "jardiner-A" (female gardener)but that was taken as a name on yahoo when I was choosing a moniker. And it is pronounced "Har-deen-AIR-o" (roughly).
Jard thats nice. My espanol is muy picino. I love Mexico and would move there if I could figure a way to live. There are too many engineers there selling tacos because they can't find a job they are educated for.
I had a friend down here telling me about a dessert she made with "balled milk." At least that's what it sounded like; I knew it couldn't have been "bald" milk. After a stare from her that would have withered a redwood, I realized that it was "boiled" milk!! :D-->
I warsh my hands. I pronounce a lot of things adding an R.
Thankyamuch. That got beat of of me by a boss I had in Houston. Spent 10 years there and it almost took the Texas out of me.
I was getting my lunch in the lunch room and talking with the secrateries aand they found out that I was from Texas. They were shocked. Seems that most of the sales engineers they employed were hired in New York and they figured the same with me. I was greatly disturbed. Calling a Texan and accusing him of being from New York will start a fight quick.
