I don't know from spelling but Elmer was BernSTEEN. There's no discussion on this folks - I knew him, I've issued tons of his music. Leonard is STINE. Elmer is STEEN.

Thank you, Jane. Not everyone "gets" my sense of humor. In person, one can provide facial expressions or some subtle body language. Here all we have are emoticons. Not the same!

And I laughed even without the emoticons

The link I put up is more than just about how Leonard pronounced his name. It suggests that the Steens are mispronoucing their names

Good evening.

I stuck to my guns today and ate under 1000 calories. I need to do that for the next five months.

Page 5? Really?

And no one in the house.

Are we missing some regular members? Besides Ron?

I think Spring has finally arrived.

The seven day forecast on the news tonight was all suns. Yeah!

Tomorrow is lunch at Hank’s again.

TCB · « **Reply #132 on:** May 01, 2018, 11:32:13 PM »

So, I guess it will be pizza, again.

Thursday I am expecting my first shipment from Freshly.

I have the same trouble with my last name. Some pronounce it lund and some people pronounce it land.

TCB · « **Reply #135 on:** May 01, 2018, 11:44:04 PM »

I prefer lund, but the way people butcher my last name, land or lund is the least of my problems.

Does Rod Rosenstein, deputy attorney general, read HHW?

The STEEN vs STINE debate was present today in Washington, along with impeachment, according to the NY Times:

"But he [Rosenstein] also held forth on less weighty matters, including pronunciation of his own last name, an occasional topic of lighthearted debate in Washington.

“So, there’s no right answer to that,” he said. “My father pronounces it ‘stine.’ That’s how I pronounce it. But I actually have relatives who pronounce it ‘steen,’ so I’ll answer to either one.”

I pronounce my last name like "Door D" or "Dough (pizza dough, cookie dough)-erty." My aunt went back to the Irish pronunciation of "Dock-erty."

Dinner with my friend Shelly was quite delish!

I got the chorizo burrito.

It's a big burrito and I brought half of it home for later.
