“Not dead yet!”

Sandra Bullock's wasn't awful, but it was Texanish which is more NW Louisiana.

Yeah, but with her you could at least argue that it had been tempered/mangled by all her years in New York. The others didn't really have an excuse.

Steel Magnolias had a similar problem. I love watching Olympia Dukakis, but her accent really didn't work.

The very worst one, though, was Dylan McDermott. I still cringe every time he whines, "C'mon, Shelby, say you'll marry me."

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Ok, y'all I need some hivemind advice. I conked my head around 2pm today (slammed my forehead into the freeze door handle as I was standing up from cleaning the fridge), have a good 2 inch mark on my forehead and now I have a fever of 100.6. What is a worrisome temp for an adult? I'm afraid to google.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

At least Steel Magnolias was set in Natchitoches. That's more of a general southern than south Louisiana that always gets mangled.

100 sounds a little high to me, but my temp runs a little low.

I tend to run low too.

Is the mark a cut? That could be an infection.

Mostly just a mark. There was a bit of blood at first, but it isn't a gash or anything. Just sore as hell. Crying hurts. Never realized how much you use your forehead when you cry.

I would put some goop on it and take aspirin, but I have no idea what to do in medical situations.

I'm usually a "rub dirt in it and down a shot" type of gal myself, but I don't think that is the wisest idea right now.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Above 100 is when doctors start to be concerned. Googling indicates that a fever is associated with head injuries fairly often, as a result of inflammation. Does your doctor have an emergency line?
