Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
Mom always has, never really lost hers. I notice it a lot more in my cousins. If I was down in TX for a couple years I would expect it to get stronger. It still sounds ‘right’ to me since that is how mom talked. It always feels like going home when I go back to TX. Even though I ahve not actually lived there very long.
I’m sure it was a shock; it all happened so fast!
Then there are sandwiches made of sliced meats and cheeses on rolls, with various vegetables and seasonings. This can be a 'submarine' in NY, a 'hero' in New England, a 'hoagie' in Philadelphia, a 'poor boy' in the south east, a 'muffaletta' (possibly with oysters) in New Orleans, and other names in parts of the country some of you guys know.
In Vermont, those are "grinders". I don't think I've heard that term anywhere else.
I think "sub" is now the most accepted nomenclature, thanks to Subway.
Yes, I forgot ‘grinders’ based out of Boston, I think. Also ‘wedges’, a term apparently limited to Westchester County, just north of NYC.
What American accent do you have? Your Result: The South
That's a Southern accent you've got there. You may love it, you may hate it, you may swear you don't have it, but whatever the case, we can hear it.

We've picked that up sine we've been here in MA. When I was growing up, when you went out to 'get a Coke', it didn't matter what brand soda you got, Barq's, 7-Up, Sprite, whatever; they were ALL Cokes.
‘One Coke to Bring them All and in Atlanta bind them, in the land of Dixie where the Darkness Falls’
*snort* “Darkness falls” sounds more like the Northeast! The South is usually bright and sunny; much more cheerful!
That’s why I’m in Florida, surrounded by midwesterners and Jamaicans, and known to one and all as the ‘one-legged New Yorker’
OH NO! I guess it was bound to happen when Albertson’s went in. Goodbye to the last locally owned grocery store in town. Welcome chain stores.
:-\
I do like Top Foods, which I believe is *sort* of a local chain, but it’s not the same thing.
Dang, that bites. :(
I don’t want to go to another grocery store, I’ve been using Mega Foods exclusively since I moved here. I think I’ll stop eating. :(
One thing I miss is competing chains. Here we only have HyVee which is a nice local chain, pretty decent stores, but when I was in CO I’d compare the sales at the three chains every week and look for bargains. Here, there’s no point.
Well there’s still Ralph’s Thriftway... They’re local, but they’re all the way in ~town~.
Yeah.
*And* they tick off the liberals. Gotta like ‘em for that.
No, we also have Super Walmart and Super Target. And ALdi. The Econo Foods around town all died out without the first few years I was here. Might still be one on the SW side but the ones on the north side of town all went away.
Hey... what is this...
Mine?
