Complaint:  Arghhhh..., snow!  I didn't go out driving to do my chores yesterday.  I should have because this morning I woke up to 3 inches of snow on the ground, the roads all slushy, still snowing and 9 to 10 inches predicted.  Arghhhh.  I need to get groceries, go to the post office and take the garbage to the transfer station.  I guess I could walk to the first two if absolutely necessary and if I tie the full garbage bag closed it should keep for a few days. 

Non-complaint:  It's snowing outside and the the first snow always looks so pretty.  I've got peach brandy, I've got vodka, I've got lemonaid, I've got hot chocolate.  I've got milk and cereal.  I've got oatmeal and lots of frozen hamburg & ham and shrimp and I've got potatoes and bread.  Not many canned goods but at least I won't starve 'till the weather breaks and the roads get plowed. 

Or "ploughed" for those of you who still insist on using three letters where one will do.   I've been considering starting a "Ban the OUGH" organization.

Tell us again WHY you left Florida?  It hasn't gotten any colder here, and we didn't start getting snow.  I'm confused!    And don't tell us you "missed having four seasons".  We have seasons; you just have to stop and breathe once in awhile.  And the only people who say that are the ones who left Florida and now they're trying to justify their decision. 

I agree, we should ban the OUGH's.  And "colour" and "cheque", and "programme" too, while we're at it!  (apologies to KK)

I mean, really, next they'll be trying to make us spell it "doughnut" instead of its rightful and proper way, "donut!"  LOL 

You speak your language and let others speak their own language please.  I have never heard of a plow,  I do know what a plough is,and a ploughshare, am happy during the bad weather when I see the showploughs clearing the mountain roads.  

Do tell me, what do you have against Ploughs, when you allow tough rough, cough, bough, dough, that's only the little words though, although we mustn't forget borough, thorough, hiccough.  and so forth. If that's not enough where would you be without your sourdough to make artisan bread products. Have you had a breakthrough yet?  am I convincing you.

Says she, munching happily on a jam and cream doughnut,   thankyou for reminding me I had some.  They go nicely after a nice ploughman's lunch

You're absolutely right!  We'll have to start using tuff, ruff, hack up a loogie (not lougey), branch, raw bread putty, neighborhood um, community, and throatal fibrilation.  But that last one needs some work. 

But I totally understand your stance.  So if we have to keep "ough", then can we at least go "all in?"

For example: 

"Doughnought"?

"Hellough!"

"Goughd Daye"

"Gought Night"

"Craeyouns"

"Newspapours"

"Goughing Onlighne"

"Maeking Suppour"

Hey, with some creativity, we could create a whole new language here.

"Do tell me, what do you have against Ploughs, when you allow tough rough, cough, bough, dough, that's only the little words though, although we mustn't forget borough, thorough, hiccough"  ... The words are OK, but the spelling is all wonky.  If we use "plow" as the standard then all those words would be pronounced using the "ow" sound of plow, as  tow, row, bow, cow, dow, borow, thorow, and hiccow.  

Tow    to pull something along       Row, a line of something (I live in a row of houses), sometimes I here the neighbours having a row,  I have a friend who likes to row a boat. I have another friend who likes to shoot her bow and arrow, sometime she wears a bow in her hair, and she will bow to accept applause,   I see cows sometimes up on the hillside when driving through, and doggies going bow wow wow.  Of course if ther are sheep in the same field as the cows the dogs are more likely to be going "mint sauce mintsauce" to worry the sheep.

 

is there any rhyme from tow to cow?  lol

toh

bow how
bow low

dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria  

LeatherGryphon

Regarding pronunciations:  I grew up here in extreme western NY State (near Jamestown).  Where the name "Tommy" is pronounced  "Tah' mee"  I have cousins who grew up in Eastern Ohio (near Youngstown) who had a very pronounced accent and pronounced the name as "Taw' mee"  to rhyme with "saw me" but with a distinct emphasis on the "aw".  The distance between us was only 150 miles by road (much less as the crow flies) yet with all the other pronounciation differences between the Ohio accent and the western NY accent it was actually sometimes difficult to understand them.  I'm sure this isn't surprising for the UK but there are many regional accents in the US too.  Not just Boston, Bronx, and Southern.  Now days, not so much because everybody moves around so much.  But back 60+ years ago, travel more than 60 miles was unusual.   My family traveled more that most of the residents of our town and to take a trip to Buffalo, just 60 miles north was a big deal.

If no school is allowed, you actually may be able to fight that.  Is this a state run facility?

 

Doubt it.  Today I was accused of telling a lie when I told the truth.  It was for a petty thing.  I said I had not worn a particular pair of pants yesterday, which was the truth, but the staff said I was lying.   Apparently I got on her bad side and nothing I say or do is right,

...you seriously need to talk with your caseworker.  That is not right at all.  If it is privately run but licenced by the state, they could be breaking conditions of that licence.  This is beginning to sound a bit too serious to ignore and let continue.

I once was asked by an upper up from work “can I ask you a question?”  I did not know he was above the general manager in rank by a few. Well not until after I said, “You already asked a question.”  It was at the end of my shift and I was tired.  Fortunately, he took it well.

not everyone takes what I say in good faith.  Some people think I am rude so they think it is okay to be rude to me.

Sfariah D

The staff is listening to something that can not be repeated here.  One it has language issues.  Two I think it is political.  Basically foul language and political stuff. No wonder there is a lot of negativity in this house.
