I know you know how to text me.
The next time I'm in a life-or-death antacid situation, I will.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

Spike's Bitches 43: Who am I kidding? I love to brag.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Good. I don't want your heartburn hanging over my head.

For years, my sister would say "verity" when she meant to say "variety." Also, she couldn't say "specific"--it came out "sus-pific." I'd give her hell for these two until she practiced until she had them both memorized perfectly.

I'm allergic to Bactrim too. I never thought hives would make me feel fortunate.

My mother always pronounced the word Nelson as Neltson. We teased her about it, and the only way she could say it right was if she did it very slowly and forced her tongue not to make the T sound. She had no idea where she learned to pronounce it that way.

Because books.
Erythromycin is the one I always stumble over for no good reason.
It's not mispronunciation per se, but up here everyone emphasizes the wrong last syllables of words like elementary and documentary, so it comes out doc-u-men-TARY. Drives me right up the wall.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
On "This Old House," they all say "a-sem-bah-lee" for assembly and "mason-air-y" for "masonry". Must be a New England thing?

Thanks for reminding me, Scrappy. They start renovating a Brooklyn brownstone on TOH this week. I have to put that on my DVR.

“Not dead yet!”
Erythromycin is the one I always stumble over for no good reason.
That's the one I'm allergic to.
My mother, cannot, for the life of her, pronounce "tweezers." I mean, the woman has a better command of the English language than most native speakers, but perhaps it's because of the "z" followed by the "r" sound or whatever, but "tweezers" always comes out as "tweezles."
Drove me bats for years.

to this day, my Mother says "Specific Ocean". There are others. But now that she lives in CA, she really needs to learn how to say it. Although, when I'm tired/stressed/hungry, my words get all discombobulated coming out of the mouth. In the head, works perfect. Not so much past the lips.
