Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
In North America, anyone not of Native American descent is an immigrant or descended from immigrants*. So maybe very different places were settled by similar ethnic groups, leading to similar regional accents. One hypothesis anyway.
Lots of native New Orleanians sound like they are from New York. For realsies. Irish/German/?
but apparently there's a pocket of people (must be tiny tiny people) in North Carolina who have the same accent as Shakespeare.
Zen, do you mean "Ocracoke Brogue" - [link]
Henna "crowns" for chemotherapy patients
OMG that is so awesome. Love it!
sara, give yourself a chance to recuperate. Travel is hard on a body.
What she said. You didn't get much sleep while you were there, and I know that always runs down my immune system.
lisah is a constant source of inspiration.

Pretty cool.

Yeah, I think that's folks from the same part of Ireland settling in both.
Also plenty of Italians.
Italian! Knew I was forgetting something obvious. It was odd for me to realize that if someone sounds like they're from NY, there's a good chance they were born and raised in NO.
Oh yeah, Italians.
Exercise usually gives me an added boost, which is why I am second guessing. Though a super shitty swim might've been less than helpful.
OTOH, I had a nice nap with Devi behind my knees, Loki against my chest and Pumpkin on the pillow above my head with her paws in my hair.
And good lord, my typing is atrocious today.
adventures of Mr. Ralph Stanley night 2. still no barking or chewing, but there has been some whining. Exploration has been allowed into the back living room and kitchen and introductions were made with Sylvester. No fighting or hissing, Ralph seems pretty uninterested although he did try to play twice and got the big old man fat cat stare down.
He would very much like to be at a person's side at all times. Occasionally he sighs with a tiny tiny hrrmmph.
He may not actually be a dog of constant sorrow, but I get great pleasure out of addressing him as Mr. Ralph Stanley. oh yes I do.
I am in love with Mr. Ralph Stanley from afar!
