_Laurie_ Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hubby sweetened my coffee this morning.....On the kitchen table were flowers and a card....on the card he wrote "Reservations at Biaggi's tonight" That's my favorite Italian restaurant....He has to work all day today, so he must of found time to stop in and leave those on the table, because they weren't there earlier...We usually don't celebrate Valentines' Day, but I've been so stressed out lately, so this really sweented my day....

Shawna Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 got out of class early tonight! Yea! And when I got home my new Stenograph was waiting for me, with more stuff than the guy on ebay even advertised, and although it's all used stuff, it's in much shape than I'd anticipated However, there are 3 things missing... first and foremost, the instruction manual for the machine. So I don't get to take it to school tomorrow and show off my new toy, since I have no idea how to work it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJonSurfer Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 A conversation about the 1964-65 New York World's Fair came up out of nowhere in the office today. I told some folks that my Mom took me to the fair in both 1964 and 1964. I was young and only remembered some limited things about it. One thing I always remembered was that I went there the day after the Beatles played Shea Stadium. We parked right near Shea and I remember thinking how great it was that the Beatles were there the night before. I told my story and this unassuming, straight-laced woman who works in accounting said, "Oh, I saw the Beatles that night at Shea." I looked at her with a new found sense of appreciation...seeing the Beatles at Shea..Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJonSurfer Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Thanks. I've been told that I write exactly the same way that I talk. That was something I learned about writing when I was a kid and it has served me well. So, when you read one of my stories, you get a good feel for my speech pattern, etc. Of course, being from New Jersey I speak way to fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJonSurfer Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I had a business associate from New Orleans in my office this morning...now I know I don't have any accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 All my corporate connections are in Chicago, I'm in Seattle, I know that have accents, but I've asked them many times... "do I?" They say, "all you people in Seattle sound the same". So I guess it's not something you notice among your own group. I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I've been told that I have absolutely no trace of a New Jersey/New York accent and I think that's true. However, I went to get breakfast at a Denny's on the strip in Vegas a few years back and ordered a coffee. The waitress says, "Oh, you're from NJ." I was amazed. I asked her how she knew and she said it was how I said "coffee". I pronounce it "caw-fee" instead of 'cah-fee" or whatever other way there is to say it.

Mike Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I remember living in Texas in 1971 when I was a kid, and the kids on the playground saying" so you are from WahRshington"? To which I replied, "No... I'm from WAH-SHINGTON, no R" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I've no idea if he's got a true New Jersey accent or something else (I just know he's original from NJ), but I love Paul Simon's accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I know a Jersey accent when I 'ears one. Andy is from Seattle, as was my ex-husband and his entire (read: huge) family, and none of them have(d) accents. I'm from San Diego, born and raised, and ever since high school I've been told I have a Southern accent. Go figure, y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
