  1. I am not an allergy mom, but I have lived in other countries.

     

    If you have to ask, "Does this have peanuts in it?" don't buy it. Many people like to please the foreigner, so they will say whatever you want to hear, even if it means stretching the truth. I don't think they equate what they are doing with lying. It's just that they so want to accommodate you they will say anything. Beware.

  2. I haven't seen the truck before that I am aware of, just a non-descript white pickup. There's probably hundreds of them in the county.

     

    Another thing that freaked me out was that he said "I see you out here running all the time" at least 5 times.

     

     

    How could this NOT freak someone out????? I'm assuming you didn't ask him where he is when he sees you out running all the time.

     

    I agree with Trish; I wouldn't have run past him the first time, but I'm a fraidy cat like that.

     

    I would get a treadmill :auto:

  3. I've never posted about it, but there are times I will avoid a thread because the author routinely makes an error that makes me cringe.

     

    I know I make my share of them, so I'm not likely to point them out on a forum.

     

    If you're talking facebook and my family then yes I will point it out because it's a running joke between my brother and I.

     

     

    Hope he's not a forum member :D

  4. Here's a little test:

     

    Do the words rhyme: don -- dawn

     

    If you said yes they rhyme, you probably won't get the op's dilemma. In my world, they sound completely different. My husband is from Iowa; to him they sound exactly the same (we call how he speaks Iowegian).

     

     

    Yes. That is the test :001_smile:!

     

    Think about it . . . the reason we have different accents around the country is related to how we pronounce the VOWELS differently not the consonants. I have lived in so many different places, I don't know what I sound like to other folks!

     

    ETA: well, I guess you Bostonians leave R sounds off the ends of words and add them where they don't belong in other words, too!
