Rob and Mary Linda have arrived, eaten their lunch, and are now beginning to paint their new digs upstairs. Today they're just prepping and painting the ceiling in what will be their bedroom, but it's a start.

Speaking of "Aunts": Where I come from (South Carolina), peple mostly pronounce "Aunt" as you would pronounce "ant".

Except in Charleston, where it's mostly pronounced "Ahnt".

My relatives in Virginia always said "ahnt" except my cousin Richard would occasionally use "aint".

I can imagine the Man from Philadelphia saying, "My Great-Ahnt" this, and "My Great-Ahnt" that....I'm thinking he wants to be thought of as a "Main Line Philadelphian".

Thanks, DR Jane.

I have a "thundershirt," and I know how to use it!

It seems to help somewhat, but doesn't entirely eliminate the problem.
As DR Ron Pulliam mentioned, the only thing that helps more is full body contact.

DR Elmore, my sister and I called our great aunts Auntie Ruth and Auntie Grace.

That seems a bit precious. The only Aunties I know are Mame and a fat dead gay man in Ohio.

Did you call your parents' sisters, assuming they had sisters, aunts or aunties?

George · « **Reply #96 on:** June 19, 2014, 11:18:58 AM »

I've always pronounce "Aunt" as ANT...like DR Ben's Hubby's name.

Topic of the Day:

"Mac 'n' Cheese." What...are people so lazy that they can't say "macaroni" anymore?? Kids are going to grow up and think that the curved pasta usually covered with cheese is just called "mac." "Mac" is not a pasta. "Mac" is either a person's name or a truck missing the letter K.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #98 on:** June 19, 2014, 11:23:46 AM »

A fine observation, DR George. I grew up saying "macaroni", but I have to admit I've succumbed to the abbreviated form over the past few years. I shall try to mend my ways.

We always said "Ant" in Ohio. Here in the New York / New England area I tend to hear "Ahnt" more, and I'm afraid it has made me totally insecure whenever I have to say the word and I have to think about which way I'm going to go on it. Since I was never used to saying "Ahnt", I feel that it sounds awkward when I do.

I think I'm up.

Didn't fall asleep till three, then was up at seven-thirty, then fell back asleep around nine. So, what is that, six hours or something?

Only the great aunts were "auntie." Mom's sister was Aunt Jo and Dad's was Aunt Louisa.

BK, I hope that wasn't a Sippy Cup o' Soup you had after you made the show order.

TOD: I'd be happy if I never heard the word "dude" again, when addressing people, especially women.

Oh, and it seems "Grand" is the official or preferred term in genealogy. I only recently became aware of that.

How grand!

I've spent the morning watching the 1935 film of ROBERTA, which actually incorporates several incidents from the novel that are not in the stage show. And i worked on the notes for the booklet.

Here's a question: how many of you called a great-aunt "Aunt ____" as opposed to "Great-Aunt ______"? I always called my Great-Aunt Lucy "Aunt Lucy."

I don't know that I ever knew any of them. My great-nieces call me John. My great-great-nieces are too young to speak yet.

I'm listening to the original Broadway cast recording of Bullets Over Broadway (enjoying it) and in the song, "They Go Wild, Simply Wild, Over Me," Marin Mazzie as Helen and Lenny Wolpe as Julian are singing and Julian says to Helen, "You haven't had a big hit in a very very very long time. That's three verys."

Was that line in the original movie, or has someone involved in that production been following HHW??

I'm from the Ant hill, too, I guess.

Well, the last remaining wisdom tooth came out cleanly.

However, they could not get a clot to form - I was not bleeding. This increases my chances of getting dry socket.

I must be un-dead, or something.

And in the south, we always said "pe-can" and not "pe-cahn".

I guess "pe-can" pie is for eatin' and "pe-cahn" pie is for oohing and aahing over.

Well, that explains so much. My advice is to avoid silver bullets.

If you were not bleeding, how would they get a clot to form? ?? ?

Don't eat popcorn until that socket heals over, though.

I took a cooking class in New Orleans and the teacher said the pe-can was what you kept under the bed in case of mid-night emergencies whereas a pe-cahn is what you ate.

They use a synthetic goo that tastes like death.
