Remember my special needs boy who almost missed his exam and you all talked me down when I was freaking out about it?! He passed!! That means he's graduated high school, so we are all very, very happy and relieved.
@raelynnsmama52512 - This is the boy who at 3 was assessed and had virtually no language (receptive or expressive), plus a bunch of other learning issues, and at 15 was diagnosed on the autistic spectrum. He now has a girlfriend and a little circle of good friends, and has now graduated from the regular school program. I would never in my wildest dreams imagined he would be at this point when he was very young. Stick with it and I'm sure she'll surprise you.
(Now he has to get a job!!)
All this cherry and vanilla coke talk make me glad there are more and more Freestyle! Coke machines.
I know I'm with you I love when places have those machines they are AWESOME!0 -

Do you call it pop, soda, soft drink, or coke (for all drinks)? I grew up in South Carolina and down there, as far as I'm concerned, pretty much all of us call it soda. I've never heard anyone actually say ''pop.'' And why would you call every soda ''Coke?" Coke is a specific drink!!!
I took a quiz to see where in the US I sound like I'm from. Florida, Maine, and Boston were high up there (Boston, really?). Here's the quiz if you guys want something to do: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/12/20/sunday-review/dialect-quiz-map.html
EDIT: Apparently I sound absolutely nothing like people from Detroit.
EDIT2: Took the quiz again and got three cities in California. No matter what it says Detroit is least similar.
I call it soda pop, but one of my brothers calls it Coke. As in, "What kind of Coke do you want? Sprite or Pepsi?"
If someone asked me that I would have thought they were asking if I wanted fat coke, diet coke, coke zero or coke life. Not a completely different fizzy drink all together, lol
You forgot fat Cherry Coke Vanilla Coke Zero. Which is the best of all of the Cokes.
fixed!
I had a lot of trouble finding my beloved Vanilla Coke Zero last time I was in the US (we don't have it here at all)... hope it's not being discontinued.
Do they make Cherry Coke Zero?! I tried Mr. Mo's Coke Zero and rum the other night and it was decent. I think I could hang with a Cherry Coke Zero if it's available. I could just Google it, but I'm lazy.
Yes they do!! That's what I drink!! Or (please don't hurt me ) Diet Dr. Pepper & Diet cherry Dr. Pepper...those aer my go to pop drinks!
I was mixing DP with DDP for a while, but the DDP gives me an upset stomach, so I just drink the full calorie stuff. I will see if I can find DCCZ the next time I'm at the store.
ETA: I'd never hurt you, we're best friends, Laura!
Phew thanks! I just know how close you are with your "full" Dr Pepper and wasn't wanting to offend! It's sacred to you!0 -

We finally got Cherry Coke back in the last couple weeks. I was SO excited to see it the store. I was like "I need this, right now"
It is seriously one of life's hardest decisions deciding between Cherry Coke and Dr. Pepper at restaurants that offer both. I feel like I'm Sophie in Sophie's Choice.
Cherry Coke definitely wouldn't be at restaurants here, and not very many places have Dr Pepper.
I found the same thing in Florida. If they had something, it was usually Mr. Pibb. We've had this discussion before. Mr. Pibb IS NOT DR. PEPPER. I'm pretty sure the next time I go somewhere and ask for a Dr. Pepper and they ask, "Is Mr. Pibb okay?" I'm going to say, "Sure, is Monopoly money okay?!"
Please do this and let us know what happens!!0 -

This post is amazing. Thank you for sharing. I once ate an entire tub of cool whip. It didn't end well.
I wish there was an easy way to see how many times this has been quoted!0 -

I love the freestyle coke machines! I don't drink pop at all, and I can get seltzer on the freestyle which makes me a very happy camper.0 -

Yep, sir-up, batter-ees, cray-on and q-pon. All the correct ways
Edit: of course @jthurman3 agrees since we both have the awesome northwest accent0 -
I say both coo-pon and q-pon. I guess it depends on how I'm feeling. :laugh:0

soda, sir-up, batter-ees, cran, coo-pon for me!0

There's also lawyer, which I've always pronounced as LOY-ER. According to this map my state is conflicted on this matter:
Whoa, sorry for the pretty-big image

I call it soda.
I just took the quiz and got Worcester MA, Boston MA, and Honolulu HI. Worcester and Boston make sense because I grew up in NH and just moved to ME 3 years ago...both states are right near MA. No idea about Honolulu though!
Apparently my dialect is closest to Boise, Reno, or Spokane. I guess I should move in with @Mohouson.
I'm just an hour and half south of Spokane, so you can move in with me and become the pastry chef of the house!
Yes, and I will crash at your place and stuff myself silly with chocolate chip cookie cheesecake bars when I am heading to northern ID to visit family!! I like this plan very much.0
