    there are 12 days of Christmas - whatcha mean

    Iowa
    I don't live in northeast Iowa where the big stuff happened recently, but thanks for thinking of my state. My husband's parents lost their house and most of their possessions a few years ago by a twister here in Iowa. They are real and sometimes not taken terribly seriously. I have spent many a storm looking at the green sky and the eerie calmness before the winds pick up instead of getting my butt to the basement. However, I think hurricanes and earthquakes look terrifying over a tornado, but they are all incredible, I imagine.

    The saddest story to me was that two of the people killed in the recent tornado were elderly and it was thought that they couldn't make it to the basement, according to the local news. :(
    Thank you from Iowa

    Appreciate the good thoughts. While I'm about an hour directly south of where Parkersburg, IA, is, that night was spent huddled in the basement as the whole eastern side of Iowa seemed to have tornado warnings going off. I've lived through a tornado as a child, and the total destruction of this past weekend was really too much to comprehend-even after having been through it before. Iowans truly thank everyone who has said a prayer or donated time, money, goods--what a terrific country to live in. In times of trial, Americans truly show their best sides! :)

    Iowa feels like fall too!
    I just am not really thrilled for the thing that follows fall. I hate hate hate hate hate hate winter.

    We were in the 40s temperature wise this morning. I have my portable heater toasting my toes when I work!
    August 22nd for my 1st grader here in Iowa

    Apparently paying my Iowa taxes
    Man, they've gone up. Dang it all to heck.

    Otherwise, I'll be using the difference by knocking out my small bills in anticipation of paying off our zillions of dollars worth of student loans in about 800 years.
    Hi again...I'm originally from NYC...sm

    but family lived in S. FL since the late 1960s....I came in 1980...I believe you that you never ate organ meats!  4 million is a big big city in my mind though.....but I know NYC and S. FL are melting pots, so to speak, and have the most diversity (culturally speaking).  My child (now grown) born and raised in S. FL and would never touch liver or any other organ meat for that matter...but then again won't try *new* things either.


    I get it about loving beef/pork but lightening up on them today - we learned so much over 30-40 years (raised on beef) that just are not seemingly healthful today.....I eat meat rarely though I will eat it but now when I go out occasionally to a restaurant, I'm choosing fish....mahi mahi for that matter of late and also cooking fish at home now (talapia only so far).  Yummmmmmmmm, that mahi mahi was like eating a steak!!  *laughs*


    Have a GREAT Thanksgiving!! 


    I mean, originally.,.nm

    I'm originally from WV too and I now live in VA!!...sm
    I was born and raised in a little town called Williamson, WV.  I moved to Salem, VA in 1985 and still call that home.  I am not far from Bluefield.  I am actually going to Williamson this weekend to see my parents.  Small world.
    Originally seen in Pt. Pleasant WV I think
    I'm really embarrassed that I know that, but I was born in Morgantown. Plus, everyone always asks me about it when they hear where I'm from.
    Originally, you said that if your child...
    cannot behave in a restaurant, you should not bring him. Believe me, my child has misbehaved in a restaurant a few times and it is embarassing enough without someone like you looking down her nose. I do not take my children to movies, but in line with your (leave them at home) attitude, you could always rent one. Nobody goes to a restaurant or store or anywhere else expecting her child to throw a fit, but sometimes, it does happen.
    no, scrapple originally came from Germany....

    Originally it was for crate-training - (sm)
    one of my cats who is averse to using her litterbox. In the meantime, my other cat decided this would do very nicely as her own, personal little 'condo', so she took it over. She likes it because everything is right there: Food, bed, water, & litterbox. Not to mention a great view of my birdbath outside! ;)
    No when I originally wrote the check

    The check was a voided check to Wal-Mart and the Loan company, CNH Capital, knew that and cashed it anyway.  I thought it was illegal for someone cash a check that did not belong to them. 


    Originally from south and you have ate 2 more times than me
    as I have never even tried them.
    originally Michigan now living in the sm
    south. you brought up the other things I was thinking when I posted about Vernors. Saunders hot fudge, Faygo, Stroh's ice cream (use to have a Stroh's ice cream shop by the house back in the 70s when in high school) and those wonderful Better Made potato chips!!!!!!!! Hubby was just in Michigan two weeks ago and brought back a bag. Nothing like em!!!!!!

    What part of MI are you from? I am from the Pontiac Waterford area, born and raised!
    I was the originally poster about silly string
    what I can remember from the news report was that the silly string is an aerosol can and she was not able to ship it out, but finally someone offered to to help her ship it. I am sure it will be on the news as this just happened within the past few days.
    I'm originally from NJ, and I've endured a lot of comments.
    If one more person asks me, "Which exit?" I might run him/her over!

    And yes, when I was growing up, it was indeed the Garden State. I grew up running through tomato fields and along corn rows. It was wonderful!

    I'm originally from Binghamton, but I live in Texas now.
    .
    Not originally from the south, so imagine my surprise when I saw them selling - sm
    Cracklin at a roadside stand!  It was cooking in a huge pot of grease.  I thought I might faint from the smell - beyond description.  Then I noticed it being sold packaged in grocery stores with all kinds of flavorings added.  I cannot recall seeing cracklin sold in the other parts of the country I have lived, but maybe I just never noticed.  All I know is I cannot even stand to look at the bags while waiting to check out at the register.  YUCK!!
    I live in TN but originally from Rochester, NY we can't get Zweigles Red or White hotdogs, sm
    Genesee Beer, or Grandma Brown's Baked Beans.

    In TN they have Moon Pies, Country Ham (WAAAAYYYYYY too salty), and all their vegetables mixed with cheese and covered with breadcrumbs, and fried okra, but the BEST barbecue you could ever taste.
    I think you are taking this out of context...I originally asked about my in-laws basically coming ov
    and then the issue of locking doors and security gets brought up...why is it you can't post something on these boards without it being blown out of proportion???
