Some good clean fun?! [Archive 1]

[miss scarlet]

Yes Colleen, when you tell us you are doing something I can see you doing it

[_Stacy_]

ROFL At least you're the one raking, and not me!

 

Joanne and Leanne, how fun that you are going to meet! Take pictures!

 

Thanks, Joanne. I was actually on the fence about it until I saw the pics I took.

I'll BRB--DH wants to tell me something-- (why isn't he sleeping yet????)

[a_stitchintime]

hmmm... leaves. That's a cool idea!

 

The sunflower 'ghan is "on hold" until school is back in session next week... I am a little fuzzy in the head. I call it "sensory overload":lol:lol

the darlings are very "busy" and LOUD these past few days... OY! Managia! (I don't know if I spelled that right)

[Colleenka]

Joanne, I'm not sure if you are accusing me of being "common" or endeared by my being Canadian

[miss scarlet]

Yes it is Joanne and NO I don't say it

[Colleenka]

Yes it is Joanne and NO I don't say it

 

ouch!

[a_stitchintime]

I'll BRB--DH wants to tell me something-- (why isn't he sleeping yet????)

 

:rofl Now That's the queston of the hour! Except my he is a "they":lol

[_Stacy_]

Managia??

 

My kids are extra-loud lately, too. I am so ready for school to start. Of course, paired with their friends, it is quadruple loud but I try to initiate quiet time in the afternoons. At least my kids listen.

 

So, Leanne, did you give her the pillow instead?

[_Stacy_]

Mary, I am working on a shawl for the shawl swap.

 

Brb, dirty diaper.

[imanurse55]

I'm back- trust me- it was NOT important that I needed to be interupted! now to catch up on what you all were chatting about

[a_stitchintime]

Awww... cummon' guys! I love the "eh?"

I don't think it's common at all.

Mary, for real, you don't say it? It took me my whole life to stop saying "ayuh", and i still do if i am tired. it makes my kids laugh.

[a_stitchintime]

no, I didn't want to let anything out of the bag, so I gave her a cookbook:lol

[Colleenka]

ayuh? Can you please use it in context for me, LeaAnne?

 

I can't help it, I say "eh" all the time. Maybe I'll be more careful from now on, it is just so useful.

[miss scarlet]

Oh I didn't mean it as an ouch, It is just most people say eh but I don't

sorry didn't mean to offend

[imanurse55]

Definitely a term of endearment- eh

 

I just remember going to Wildwood Crest a few times when the dk's were younger and there were a lot of Canadians there (don't know from where) but I recall when they spoke they said "eh'

[Colleenka]

Mary, I'm not offended at all. I am just having fun with my besties

[a_stitchintime]

I don't know what "Managia' means, but it's Italian. I think it's something like "holy crap-ness":lol I find it fits a lot

[_Stacy_]

I think I like "holy crap-ness" better! They say "eh" in the UP of MI, also.

[imanurse55]

Trust me I know about all the Jersey jokes You from new joisey? and the New York accent- my Dh is from Brookyn and you definitely can tell when he talks that he is a New Yawka....I think it is really neat how we all speak English, but there are so many little quirks that get picked up depending on where you are from.

[Colleenka]

My DH swears in Italian all the time. He grew up with Italian-Canadians and just adopted their terms (well, he went to a school that was probably 80% Italian, is what I mean...none actually in the same house ). It is so useful to be able to swear in a different language, especially with kids around.

[miss scarlet]

I use to live on Wildwood cresent when I was growing up ,in Toronto

[a_stitchintime]

Ayuh! is a Maine word. something like:

 

"Ayuh, Jill and I will certainly be there at the party"

or

'The weather's nice today"... " Ayuh... it sure is a beautiful one!"

 

does that help?

[_Stacy_]

My dh swears in Spanish all the time. When people ask if I speak Spanish, I say, "Only the bad words."

[Colleenka]

I agree, Joanne. It is so interesting that we all speak differently. I love the Brooklyn accent (like you hear in movies)...Bawston too for that matter.. Kinda sexy on a man.
