Silliness So what are you doing RIGHT NOW? - Page 1907

Right now, i'm sitting on the backporch in the shade, reading and surfing, waiting for the bathroom remodeller to get here and give me an estimate. I get nervous dealing with contractors, but Tim is a log when it comes to haggling. I do the car buying, contractors, etc.

Wondering what is so hard to pronounce in the word nuclear. And what about february? Why are so many Americans apparently unable to pronounce those words?

It took me about six months to learn that script; but I persevered.

Headed for my brand new fresh egg source! Apparently there's a farm about four miles out of town that supplies fresh eggs. You just go out and get what you want out of the fridge in the barn and leave your money. What's even better is, I wouldn't have found this source if it wasn't for Facebook. They also sell fresh meat, raw milk, and seasonal produce, so I'm thinking I've found a gem!

For the ultimate "fresh" experience - customers should have to battle the chickens for the eggs, not just visit the fridge!

I've battled enough chickens in my day, dear. I now leave them to the experts and just enjoy the "fruits" of their labors!

It's a nice trip out there; and I got to visit the cows.

Oh, you're so lucky! I love fresh eggs but have a little trouble getting them. I did find some at a produce stand last week, but they don't taste as good as the eggs from my friend Tina's farm. Unfortunately, she lives about 60 or 70 miles from me, so I'm not able to get eggs from her very often.

We in the Southern U.S. have no problem with the word February. We know that the first "r" is silent, and that the "w" between the "u" and the "a" is understood.

You're right! Wait, let me run down to the libry and check the dictionary. Yes, the libry. Or is it the liberry?

And the problem with the word nuclear is that it's spelled wrong. Our former president CAN'T be wrong, so the word must be pronounced "nucular."

(Tongue firmly in cheek here, because I actually know how to pronounce all those words. Well, except maybe February. That one is just spelled wrong.)

poohbear_nc · 03-17-2011, 07:22 PM

liberrry of course! right by the the-a-ter!

I'm pretty sure it's libry. Liberries are things they have up North.

And don't get me started on Saderday!
