5IVE!!!!

I call all of my aunts, aunt, except Auntie Ellen. It was just easier for us kids to say Auntie Ellen than to say Aunt Ellen...I am guessing.

Wait, now that I think of it..we called Elna, Auntie Elna. And then there was Auntie Pat.

Ok, I guess we called all of them auntie...but it was something decided by my elder siblings and cousins and passed down to me. I see now that my cousins even call my mom Auntie Carroll. It's not my fault!!

We always addressed or referred to them as "Aunt", even though we used "Great-Aunt" in reference to the actual relation.

Listening to a bootleg of the Encores! Most Happy Fella. Haven't gotten far into it, but Laura Benanti is luminous.

From DR Cilla:

They did the work on my parents' basement at the lake and it was bone dry yesterday

I would wait for them.

I'm sorry about the dock, boat & your basement.

VIBES NOTHING WORST COMES ALONG!!!

DR Jane, before the basement people come I need to totally clean the room out and tear down the built ins.  Until I do that it won't be clear where the leak is and I don't need to pay them to do that work.  I just didn't do it today as planned.  There's always tomorrow

Why do your posts give me such headaches?

[Cillaliz]

Post deleted....did some web searches and now am greatly confused about grand things

[Cillaliz]

Another post deleted because of the same thing as the last post

I'm very glad I didn't do all that work today.  Most of what is down there is in plastic tubs and most of the floor is cement.  There's a little that's still got carpet and I"ll be ripping all that out as soon as the room is empty.  I still have a couple days to get it done.

I checked, and my genealogy program (Legacy) is using the terms Grandaunt and GrandNephew (with that variance in capitalization, which seems odd).

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.

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.

And I'd have told that teacher that we now have indoor plumbing facilities in the South...and that we never would have called our chamber pots "pee cans".  How crass.

What about for grandparents.  You have an immediate set (your parents' parents) and then a different set (their parents' parents).

Why do your posts give me such headaches?

Because it's his personal quest?

[Jane]

I asked to be called auntie but it didn't happen.  Now I'm lucky if anyone calls me aunt.  Yes, this does bother me.

From most of his posts I had guessed his personal quest was to get laid.

We had quite a storm last night, with very loud thunder.  My electricity went out for about 5 hours, but luckily went back on before it was time to get ready for work.

[KevinH]

We called my mother's sister by her first name. 

[KevinH]

My nieces call me "Uncle," but my nephews call me by my first name.  I don't mind either way.

For now on I will call you Auntie Jane. And on special occasions, I will pronounce it 'Ahnty'

[MBarnum]

I prefer to be called Uncle Mike by my nephews, nieces, grandnephews and grand nieces. However, some of them call me Monkey Mike.

It is funny that our nephew in-law say Aunt and our niece in-law's mother says "Aunt.  They get what I want to be called

At least they gave you an endearing name.

I think the little girl playing in the US open looks cute in her outfit.

[George]

My nieces call me "Uncle," but my nephews call me by my first name.  I don't mind either way.

To my niece, I'm "Uncle"...just "Uncle."  She's never called me Uncle George or George.  Her father's sister is "Auntie" (pronounced "ANTIE") and her husband is "Uncle Harvey."

Well, it was because Taylor, when she was learning to talk, couldn't say Uncle Mike...it always came out Monkey Mike. She is 11 now, but still calls me that.

I am looking forward to the weekend, I tell you. I have been so tired all week. Last night I went to bed at 7:30 pm and slept all night until my alarm went off at 6am. With all of that sleep, I still have felt like I need a nap.

Just Auntie & Uncle would work for us.
