Still waiting for the results from my OB-GYN and my mammo.

I laughed at Pinkie's (I think it was her) remarks on mammo--if I read it before I went for one; I probably would have stayed home and not went.

Yes, I felt totally, totally violated after that visit.

And , to think, we pay for this "pleasure"!!!!!

Hi, Ria, my doctor says I still have to take the Actonel for at least another year. Osteo in back is bad but the Osteo in hip is worse.

I should buy stock in Calcium pills that he told me to take.!!!

Talk to you later,

Love in CHrist,
Joyce

Welcome, Beth!  It is nice to get some younger folks here.  Sarah is about your age.  Hope you will come in and join us.

LOL...I think I will join you in buying stock.  

Thanks for the chuckle!

Sonja...........

They "were"
We "were"

He/she "was"
I "was".

Unless you're from the south, then anything goes
Down there it could be:

They-uns, or We-uns,

Or:

He-be, she-be.

Then there is the all inclusive: "Ye'all", or just plain old "Yuh".

Texans prefer "Yep".

I get a kick out of Idahoans who say: "Theseones"

 Joyce...........

I was deathly afraid Pinkie was going to share a garage picture  

Interesting watching the news and the Michael Jackson case.

Lee, were you anywhere near Santa Barbara?  (I know nothing about the geography of California).

"Yuh" is more indicative of New England, me thinks.  And it's not Ye'all, it's  Y'all.

hahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha

You know, if everyone spoke Southern, we wouldn't have any grammatical problems.

On a more serious note.  When I was taking a grammar class in graduate school, we watched a video series about the "Origin" of the English (American English) language.  They showed some pockets of specific Irish dialects.  I was the only one in the class that understood what was being said.  It sounded just like some of the people from my grandmother's generation that I was around when I was younger.  The dialect in this area is that similar to some of the old Irish dialects and English dialects from across the sea.  Now, though, we have been "taught" that a Southern Appalachian dialect is a sign of a lack of intelligence, so many of us have abandoned it and learned to speak "proper."  I have a pretty thick drawl (don't I Etta and Pat?), but I can control about 85% of it, when I want to.  I just rarely want to.

Hey! Thank you all for the warm welcome!  

QuotePatt Scott - What part of Africa were you living in?  I have a few friends who are missionaries in Zambia.

We're missionaries in Malawi, Africa - not many people have even heard of the country. It's bordered by Zambia to the west, and Zimbabwe on the east. We were actually at one point going to be working in Zambia, so I might know you're freinds there. Let me know what their name is...  see if it rings a bell!

Well, my scanner isn't working at the moment, and sadly I have little of my work on the 'puter... hopefully I'll get it up and runnin' and post some of my work soon!

In Christ,
Beth

Hi Beth...  They have boys who have done all of their schooling over there.  The last name is Poidevan (Marilyn and Bruce) and he's a pilot.  They have 3 boys but all are back in Canada now going to college.  I had a boarder once who lived in Malawi.  He worked at a Christian Book Publishers I believe.

hey ya'll <------ that's my spelling of it!
we are still getting ready for the game friday but practice today was a killer since we are all sore from last night. well at least all of the team that played (we had a few that didn't) i just think it is funny when the ones who didn't play boss the ones who did around to me there is something wrong with that picture! well anyways hope everyone has had a good day ttyl
SArah

Sarah, your team sounds pretty salty!  I don't think I want to go up against you!  But I wish you a winning season.

Well, I had the experience of crawling on my hands and knees, and sometimes on my belly, about 200 feet, underneath a house today.    It made me have sympathy for our boys in uniform whom I have seen on maneuvers crawling like that!  But I am so happy to be able to do that so that Darrel didn't have to.  It's easier on me than on him.  And we got the alarm stuff moved and the alarm back in service.  Then we went to Wal-mart and to Target and did a bit of shopping.  Good day!

Sonja, sorry I didn't get to answer your was/were question, but you got good answers anyway!

Pat, I really enjoy the creation moments, thanks for the links, as I forget to go listen if the links aren't in here.  

We bought a Christmas gift for Abby today (the first of several, I'm sure )  Since she learned to play checkers and now can beat me, we got her a checker/tic tac toe set.  Now she can try to beat her Daddy!

I want to go see if there are any new photos today.

Karma, I would love to listen to you talk, and don't try to get rid of the drawl.  I will love it!

Pat.............

Santa Barbara is north of Los Angeles (I've forgotten the mileage) so my best guess is 60-miles.  Many Hollywood actors live there.  Santa Barbara is on the coast and is a neat place to retreat and spend time on the beach.  Jack Elam, a friend of mine, the western actor with the offset eye (Very mean looking) lives there.  Interestingly, I wrote a crime prevention script "Home Security Survey" wheer Jack and I were in it.  The Canadian police (RCMP) liked it and we went up to Calgary to re-shoot it with RCMP guys.  I wasn't in the RCMP film, just served as an advisor.  Great guys and I still have a T-shirt they gave me in 1976 from the RCMP.  Speaking of RCMP, when Vivian and I were on our last trip two months ago in Canada, I dropped in at the RCMP in Jasper and they gave me an RCMP uniform shoulder patch.  I've always had a great relationship with your guys.

Man oh Man is it every raining here now.  I am gonna get soaked just going to the car from the porch. Don't want to miss Bible study.

Had a good day of doing almost nithing at work which is the way it is every day. soemtimes I get so bored I am falling asleep listeneing to Fay.

Back to the news.

TTYl

Karmat.........

"Y-all' looks like "Y" "All".  "Ye-all" is spelled like it sounds.

"Show" is usually accompanied with "Nuff", and it says: ..."sho-nuff"

Sonja.........Look at what you started

Lee y-all is pronounced "yawl" Are you learning to speak southern?

Personally, I think Karma is the resident expert on speaking Southern!  She's been doing it her whole life!~

But the rest of us can use some lessons..........

Yes Janet you are so right.  Karma What is the correct pronunciation. Spelling?

It's not raining here.  It's TEEMING!    

Well, my pictures didn't make it into the newspaper today.  The article was there, but no pictures.  I'm telling myself it's not because they weren't good enough, but there just wasn't enough room available.  

I've been updating the town website's various pages, transferring them into FrontPage, and a lot of the pictures need to be taken over again.  They were among the first I took with my original camera which was less than 1 megapixel and the quality looks terrible now.  Looked pretty good then, but....  

I just wanted to pop in and say thanks to all y'all for replying to my post about english.

I have dance tonight, well in about 20 minutes, so I better get moving.  

Later folks!
Sonja

Good evening Y'all.  (I can say that.....I was born in Texas. lol)

We had rain most of the day today.  Rain, rain, rain, wind and more rain.  I love it.

 I had to go back to yesterday to read all the posts.  Interesting Biblical discussions.  I always enjoy this.....as long as it doesn't turn into debates and then to anger.    I don't think that will happen here.

 Welcome Beth.   It's always good to see newcomers post and tell about their life.  Yours sounds very interesting.  I can't wait to see some of your pictures too.  

 Gotta go and check out some of the other forums.  God bless..
 

Nita!  Good to see you!

Jane, where are you?  I miss you......

Ye-all is a first cousin to ye-haw which is what you say when your 4X4 or horse goes down a really steep hill.

Y'all has no "e" sound.  Just a smooth slide from "yuh" to "all" = /yall/.   hahahahah

And remember, "all y'all" is more than 8.

Jeanne, They didn't have room.  But they shoulda made room.  How many opportunities do they get to publish your pictures.  Their loss.

Have a good evening, all ya'll, I think I may turn in early tomorrow.  
Hahaha.  Long day tomorrow, think I'll turn in early tonight!

Hey, I just saw that Cindy was online!!!  

HI CINDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How goes in in metropolitan upstate SC??

Marilyn..........

My oldest daughter is a "Fish head".  She was born in Florida at Eglin Air Force Base.  We lived in the south for three years.  I'll say this, if you have southern friends and assiciate with them down there, you start to pick-up a bit of their drawl.  My son lives in Texas and I can't understand a word he says.

You know where Texas is, it's that place that naturalizes you by the time you get from one end to the other.

Technically, Florida is only a southern state to people who don't live in the south.  It belongs up north!!

hahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahaha

(This is a joke, I promise, some dear friends are from and/or live in FL)

Hey Karmat - I was just giggling over the "southernese" discussion!  Things are great - just busy as always.

I'm enjoying trying to catch up on whats going on.

Hello Beth.... Welcome to CP.   Hope you enjoy your fellowship here.


My Sister and Brother-in-law were missionaries in Mauritius for 20 years.   As you probably know Mauritius is a little island on the coast of Madigascar.   They were with AEF (Africa Evangelical Fellowship)  which has joined SIM now.  They are here in Canada now and working with Inter Varsity, International Students.  Their names are Kamyl & Lorraine Cadinouche.  Kamyl was born in Mauritius.

My sister and myself are posted in the photo section under Sisters.

I go to Peoples Church in Toronto Canada.   They have over 500 missionaries around the world and some in Zambia.  

I'm sure you and I will have much to chat about.

God Bless

I'm sure your pictures were great.  Space is always an issue with a newspaper.  We just finished a special section on becoming a foster parent.  The section was 8 pages but the stories were so long they only used two photos in the entire section!
