Yeah we call it coke here in TN too. ^_^
@ Ter'e - I always smell of CK One or Diesel White. As I have been told "I do smell delicious" *shudder*@ Victoria - I am a Southern boy even in this life. They dun take kindly to mah kind o'er 'ere.
See? Dips even thinks of us when he is "out". He loves our little fun group!
Ter'e - I am IN now. I was carrying excess baggage when I was OUT!!

:))))))
I went to Montana and ordered a coke, and then they gave me a Coke. I wanted Sprite, but they did not ask what kind of coke I wanted. I learned then the difference; but to me all sodas are cokes, but not all cokes are Coke. I also had to be careful because at McDonalds when I would order a Sprite, they would always give me fries. Gotta love that southern twang!
I think so too and tell what time it is everywhere like gmt, central standard time and on.
@ Ter'e - Can you elaborate on the "crisp apple" part?
I like John's idea of having apple pie, better!!!! With some vanilla bean ice cream, freshly churned. Mmmmmmmmm with just a hint of cinnamon!Thanks John.
Hey Dips........if it is 3 a.m. In FL........what time is it in Kolkata?

The first week in basic we had fire drills in the barracks. One night, around midnight,
we heard the DI yelling Fire! Fire!. So we immedately scrambled out of the barracks to the parking lot. The DI comes fuming out of the barraks,
wondering why his squad is standing around the paking in our bvds in the middle of the night. We told him he yelled Fire!. He blew his top. He wasn't yelling Fire! He was yelling at recruit FARR!
I also love the way Southerners say lawyer. It's either law-yer - emphasis on the law. Or pronounced liar. I kind of like the latter (though I've got nothing against lawyers. I just think it's funny).

When were you in the USAF? I served from 85-93.
Some were offended, but as a Southern I still thought this scene in Gettysburg was funny. A Union solder asks a Confederate prisoner what the South is fighting for. The Reb replies, "We are fighting for our Rats!" The Union soldier is totally dumbfounded. "You're fighting for rats?" The Reb replies, "Yes, our Constitutional Rats (Rights)." TGIF Yall!
Hey, I grew up in Tennessee and can talk southern with the best of y'all!@ Ter'e: The best way to fix gri-its is to cook them with salt and butter and serve it up in a bowl with a soft-boiled egg, crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar on top. YUM!!!
Also @ Ter'e: Where in TN did you live? My home was Oak Ridge.
@ Lorrea and Jessica: I had a college roommate from Midland, TX.
@ Dips: My niece recently married a wonderful man from India. They honeymooned in India and she had a wonderful time!
@ Malina: I've been fortunate enough to have traveled to Boston on numerous occasions for work conferences. Great restaurants; especially love the North Inn (my father is Italian). What's your favorite restaurant?
I now live in Rochester, MN.

Hey Girl,
Mmmmmmm let's have some Cheese Grits instead. I have my grits shipped in from GA. Honey, we LOVE grits!!!!
Know Oak Ridge fairly well. Well, lets say........we know Big Ed's Pizza. That counts right? Nuthin like a pitcher of ice cold beer and Big Ed's pizza.
David is from LaFollette..........right up the road from you. I worked for the Woodson's. Beautiful area.......but a tough area for a Californian to live. Took me forever to understand what people were doing, when they would lift their finger for you. David would say...."Honey, they're speaking"... LOL. I didn't understand it was a good thing. I about fainted the first time a clerk came into my dressing room, at Miller's, to help fit me for a dress. Different area, that East Tennessee.

Donna,
Que pasa?????
:-)Just got finished having delicious chicken enchiladas and black beans. I make marvellous salsa.......
Again, my CA roots. Love the Mex food in TX as well.........but I prefer CA style. Man, I should have made some margs.........but I was too tired. I painted all day over at my sons. Such a good mommy.
@Ter'e: Yes, Big Ed's Pizza is a landmark spot in O.R. We used to go there after our softball games when I was a teenager. Had a chance to go back there in July 2011 and of course a trip to Big Ed's was in order! How cool that you know my hometown. And you are right about the clerks at Millers!I briefly visited Dallas many years ago. My most vivid memories are the great Tex Mex ( better than Mexican food in Mexico IMO) and the fact that if you drove only 75 mph, you would be rear ended in a second!

Ooops! Got carried away finding a fellow Spanish speaker :) Only English so we can all understand each other!
LOL. I got lost and had to convert a few words Spanish to English.Love our Latinas........(and Latinos, of course)
I really appreciate the Hispanic race. We have found them to be so honest, hard working and downright lovable. I would really love to move to MX. Too far from my kids tho.
Daniel......And if you can make homemade tortillas............and menudo.........I would love you forever. I love my hubby dearly.......but all he can make is steak and omelets. And, he will not touch menudo!!!!! MMMMMMMMM

What a beautiful part of the country. ..."I live in the Pacific Northwest and write mystery/suspense novels set here, too. It is an incredibly beautiful place -- I was out hiking in the Columbia Gorge yesterday, doing some research for a new book, and had to stop and admire that beauty! If you like to travel vicariously :), I often post photos of the Northwest on my website/blog.
