Renai Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I pronounce all the foreign place names etc in America wrong*, because I use the phonics of the language they originated from but it turns out to be Americanized, OR, alternatively, when I decide to do my best guess at how it's Americanized, it turns out that that specific one does still go by the phonics of the language it came from. *Huge exaggeration. Btw, I did teach DW, who is from Corpus, the Spanish word for 'yellow'. Me: like that place in Texas. Her: huh? Me: Amarillo. Her: that means yellow?!? (btw, I did know that that's pronounced differently in American and in Spanish, but it was just funny that it had never registered with her that there was a major city in Texas named Yellow. She had Spanish in elementary school because she lived in Corpus, and doesn't really remember any Spanish). In New Mexico, there is a Madrid. Now, with every single (it seems) city here using Spanish phonics, you'd think Madrid would be pronounced in Spanish. But, no. The residents there insist on calling it MAdrid. /a/ as in mat. :confused1: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said: https://www.amazon.com/Pokémon-Cookbook-Easy-Recipes-Pokemon/dp/1421589893 There was a kid in my Spanish class last year that kept talking about eating Pokemon. I had to shut that talk down, lol. Speaking of Pokemon, there's a teacher on Outschool that is doing classes based on Pokemon: Pokemammals, Pokebugs, etc. Gymnast would love to attend some of these, but alas, we must eat.

Another Lynn Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Why? It's *too far* for her to come get the get the kids every Sunday. And French vanilla ice cream. You can Spanish my children. See? Texas. Oops, my bad. I read it wrong. I thought Madison got you closer to her. :blush: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Looks like Nashville has some loops, so maybe there are some possibilities of getting around some of the mess. 4.5 hours is good for dashing up there when needed, since it would likely be for overnight at least anyway, but should be pretty prohibitive of MIL just popping round every Sunday. So, Lynn lives in KY, right? What part of the state, Lynn? near Lexington which is only 1 - 1.5 hours from Cincy. I think that might be too close. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Paint dead people. Those should hold still... :leaving: I got married at 20. Today was actually our 13th anniversary. Well, before it turned midnight, it was. And DW had to work all.day. I'm so done with this project. The deadline was yesterday (as in, Friday), but her boss felpfully got it moved to tomorrow (as in, Sunday evening). :banghead: Congrats on 13 years! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I knew that it was Hawaiian. I pronounce it pokey and so do my Hawaiian friends (who live in Seattle). Alright! A more reliable source for the pronunciation! Pokey it will be here, too, then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There the town's name is pronounced "DOO-boys", and if you pronounce it wrong the wrath of the citizens is visited upon you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked a mile on the treadmill and rewarded myself with peppermint tea with a little honey. Today we will "party" with DH's parents to ring in the new year. Pizza and snack foods are planned, and watching movies. I need to remember to call Dad today. Maybe I should go walk some more. There's a lot I need to get done, but nothing urgent and my brain isn't into figuring it all out right now. I suspect the weather has something to do with it. Must remember to shut the cat inside before we go to ILs' house today. We have neighbors who like to set off fireworks (they are careful about it). Our cat won't like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that looks like a loop is a trap (except 840 and that will add an extra hour to the travel time because it's so far out of the way).

Pokey it will be here, too, then.I looked it up because I was feeling dumb, and the pronounciation I found was saying the last syllable as “-ehâ€. And I didn’t realize it was Hawaiian. But it is a thing. The people at the restaurant were very kind to this hick who didn’t know nothing ‘bout no poke bowls. No condescension or anything like that, just a lot of helpfulness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are really pressed for space or they bring up things you would rather not remember I'd hang onto them until you were more decisive on the matter.

I think I'll get out my light box and my paint box and see how it works. That is so 80s retro! Remember that fad? The fashion industry even sewed clothes with that inside-out look once people just started wearing their sweatshirts and other things that way. I loved it, because of the relief from seams against my skin. I still wear undies and pajamas inside-out, because who would even care other than me? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 My trick worked. The colors I mixed look good. I discovered that you can use a magic eraser to scrub out dried watercolor. But you have to wet the bit of eraser, and your paper must be completely dry and of good quality for it to work. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
