Thank you Mismi. I really like this thread, and the people on it. It's one of the few places I'm not a nasty bastard. A couple of questions for you regarding accents.
1. It is possible to say 'Alabama,' without a Southern accent? I'm English and I can't do it.
2. Can you say 'Beercan,' without it sounding like 'Bacon,' with a Jamaican accent? I can't.
a better question for missy would be to ask her to pronounce Georgia for us.
and thank you for not being a bastard here...
note to the captain:
no more infections for you. save some for the rest of us and quit keeping them all to yourself...
extra mars bars on the grocery list.

Howdy y’all, complements of the season to all y’all and your kin folk.
I am sorry you are feeling so poorly Mizz Izzie, and although not technically qualified to practice medicine. Well, not according to is Honour Judge Rubin at the Louisiana State Court House, but leaving aside his ruling for a moment; I have the perfect hands on approach to cure your chest infection.
Verby sweetie, headaches are Mother Nature’s way of telling you to slow down and take it easy. I have a cure for that but it does involve a hot tub and a preponderance of bubbles.
Missy dear, I couldn’t leave for the bad lands without first pointing out that since leaving your job you are not unemployed; far from it, you are engaged full time on the Lords work; spreading sunshine, joy and comfort to all you meet.
Juliette Princess Beauregard (JPB) long time no see; I sincerely hope your programme is still on schedule and you are reaping the benefits of perseverance.
Frankie, you write some fine words; I like the cut of your jib.
Does anyone know anything about insurance claims because…
I am writing in response to the request for additional information. In block number 5 of the accident reporting form, I put "Trying to do the job alone" as the cause of my accident. You said in your letter that I should explain more fully, and I trust that the following details will be sufficient:
I was moonlighting as a bricklayer over the New Year’s Holiday. On the day of the accident, I was working alone on the roof of a new six story building. When I completed my work, I discovered that I had about 500 pounds of brick left over. Rather than carry the bricks down by hand, I decided to lower them in a barrel by using a pulley, which, fortunately, was attached to the side of the building at the sixth floor.
Securing the rope at ground level, I went up to the roof, swung the barrel out and loaded the brick into it. Then I went back to the ground and untied the rope, holding it tight to insure a slow descent of the 500 pounds of bricks. You will note, in block number 11 of the accident reporting form that I weigh 235 pounds.
Due to my surprise of being jerked off the ground so suddenly, I lost my presence of mind and forgot to let go of the rope. Needless to say, I proceeded at a rather rapid rate up the side of the building.
In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel coming down. This explains the fractured skull and broken collarbone. Slowed only slightly, I continued my rapid ascent, not stopping until the fingers of my right hand were two knuckles deep into the pulley. Fortunately, by this time, I had regained my presence of mind and was able to hold tightly to the rope in spite of my pain.
At approximately the same time, however, the barrel of bricks hit the ground, and the bottom broke out of the barrel. Devoid of the weight of the bricks, the barrel now weighed approximately fifty pounds.
I refer you again to my weight in the accident reporting form, block number 11. As you might imagine, I began a rapid descent down the side of the building. In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel coming up. This accounted for the two fractured ankles and the lacerations on my legs and lower body.
This encounter with the barrel slowed me enough to lessen my injuries when I fell onto the pile of bricks and fortunately, only three vertebrae were cracked. I am sorry to report however, that as I lay there on the bricks in pain, unable to stand and watching the empty barrel six stories above me...I again lost my presence of mind...and let go of the rope!!!
Can I put my finger on the cause? Frayed knot!

Thank you Mismi. I really like this thread, and the people on it. It's one of the few places I'm not a nasty bastard. A couple of questions for you regarding accents.
1. It is possible to say 'Alabama,' without a Southern accent? I'm English and I can't do it.
2. Can you say 'Beercan,' without it sounding like 'Bacon,' with a Jamaican accent? I can't.
That made me laugh out loud. I will be saying beercan with a jamaican accent as bacon for the rest of my life. Yah - all those short "a's" will make a southerner of the most folks.
'Lo Rock - you're up early. Georgia? Jawja? What are you looking for there eh?
Oh Try. The Lerd's work is what I am aboot. Thankee kindly for mentioning me in your diatribe. xox
Truly - I just love people. If that pleases God then it pleases me.
I have been saying "beer can" for around 20 minutes and though I love that when I say it I can make it sound like bacon in Jamaican...I can also slaughter the heck out of it. Thanks to my redneck family members....
Bee-yer ca-yun. Four syllables - very harsh short a...sounds nothing like bacon in Jamaican. Not pretty.
And if you soften the "a's" in Alabama to "ah's" it sounds like Ahlahbahmah. Which is not southern sounding at all.
Do you think I gave too much time to this subject Izzy?
Izzie thoughts are with you. Hope you are feeling better.
Tea, did someone mention TEA! Too cool...
oh I love to come on here and see all your happy faces - you make me laugh... and the more crew the merrier!
I am working on being a little better... I still sound rough as rats... but... I reckon, there's a slight improvement on the pain in my cheeks (OK, sinuses aren't as painful)... dayum my voice and chest... nasty
talking of which Baby Blue ... there's really only one answer to the question you didn't ask...
where's them hands baby...

Heh, you wouldnee be a bad lad on this thread - we'd have to wrap it in sugar coating.

(( IZZIE)) I luvs you. Feel better. NO NEWS. That's alright. My understanding is it takes a while for this company to move. But the Prof is feeling the pinch so I must find some interim work. I did get a job offer at a local Pita restaurant...so there is that. AND it pays as much as my last job. Go figure. I was so underpaid there it's not even funny. T0ok advantage of me they did.
