Here, it's not "Car - en" and it's not quite "Care - n". In this part of the U.S. "Care" would sound like it would if spelled "Cair", but in other parts, it's more like "Kear".

We pronounce my lil sis like "Kair-un" (rhyme the first syl. with "air"...or rhyme the whole thing with "Erin"). But, many of my southern relatives pronounce it "kay-run" (rhyme the first syl. with "day"). My mom tried for years to get them to pronounce it the way she wanted, but gave up after awhile.

Sorry for the Coke lavage, bunk. I know that can hurt. Most of the pronunciations do not bother much, but the telemarketer one of Juh-NECK-E. definitely does. But it makes it really easy to say "Oh, there's nobody here by that name." My favorite mispronunciation is being Ms. Hannukah. Now that I know it's "me" you know, and don't look around blankly for a festive young girl in menorah earrings.

Oh, dear. What a tragedy: [link]

This happened shortly before my doctor's appointment this afternoon. Apparently, shortly before I arrived another patient arrived after having witnessed the accident. The person's treatment provider wasn't available yet, and the poor person was in hysterics, so they had to usher the person (and think they said "she") down to APS (the psychiatric ER). Poor thing. Poor everyone involved.

Hands GC some drumsticks and a leather collar.

BWAH! Yeah, I think I saw that outfit in the Mission on Friday....

What a tragedy:

Oh, no. Oh, that's awful.

From the Fandom Can Be Educational Department: Have applied gentle cluesticks to young House fans, who, in discussing ways our favorite medical drama might shark-jump, listed "Having House *useless* in a wheelchair. Nuh uh. I said it would harm the show if Dr. House's mobility was restricted, but I think equating that with uselessness is bigotry. Maybe if I do that a few million more times...I'd get mad but they were obviously not far off their first periods. Must I be everybody's First Gimp? In House fandom? Oh, dear Lord.

Terrible story.

Juliana, do you live near Fisherman's Wharf?

How very sad, vw.

What a tragedy

So awful. Things like that, that whole wrong place at the wrong time thing, just kind of freaks me out. You can eat healthy, buckle up when driving, look both ways before you cross the street and yet, scaffolding can still collapse on your car just because you were in the exact wrong place at the exact wrong time. Just gives me chills.

He told me about it three times.

How nice of him to share the stress like that. Or annoyance, at the very least.

BWAH! Yeah, I think I saw that outfit in the Mission on Friday....

Red Muppet-fur coat to complete it.
