    We are pop people in the inland northwest. I've done that quiz before, and it's super fun. The first time I took it, I confused it because I grew up in the northwest and but lived in the midwest, south, and southwest, so I learned words for things that I didn't have words for growing up (e.g. access roads and parking strips) and didn't pay attention to that when answering questions. When I did it again trying to just remember what I used to call things, it pegged me perfectly (gave me Spokane, WA; Seattle, WA; and Portland, OR - I grew up in Spokane).

    I've taken it before, and it pegged me perfectly too. I don't remember exactly which city, but it was close.

    Apparently my dialect is closest to Boise, Reno, or Spokane. I guess I should move in with @Mohouson. :p

    Nope, that would be me, Susie. Spokane would be @nonoelmo And you're welcome any time!

    @quiksylver296 who acts tougher the cat or the dog?

    The cat, LOL. The dog is actually a big chicken sissy. :D

    I confess I do this often if I have 'complicated' pants on. Meaning I have to button some elaborate button configuration. I always seem to forget the 'zip' part when that happens.

    My neighbor caught me a couple days ago with it open (office neighbor). Oh, well. At least I was wearing underwear. :)

    BOOM. That's exactly how those pants are. There's a button closure, then these 2 slide clasp things AND a zipper. I do the button first, then the clasps, and then by the time I get to the zipper, I've already exhausted myself.

    I double checked my zipper today. :smiley:

    I actually find it hilarious that anyone who is knowledgeable in any field can't seem to watch movies or shows about them without getting completely teed off by the inaccuracies. It's totally something I would do if I watched anything! Inaccuracies would drive me absolutely up the wall...

    That is why I cannot watch any cop-type shows.

    I'm gonna have to move you all out to the pool deck at this rate, but it's also a great place for a dinner party ;)

    I'm excited to go wine shopping, it's the best part of all dinner parties.

    I'm cool with the pool deck, as long as there's no swimming involved. I'm looking forward to getting to wear a pretty dress and heels for this imaginary party I'm attending with all my new best friends.

    In my freezer I have 3 bags of mixed frozen fruit for my protein drinks.

    What else could you need?

    And yes, that would be it.

    Your freezer is broken, too.

    Sounds good to me, haha.

    I've eaten jars of the stuff in my time. Managing to keep off it mostly these days and just drink one at night (that's the Options 40 calories a cup). Why? I don't know. It's messy and difficult to eat but it's, you know, chocolate. Mixing it with neat whisky adds another dimension. I'm so glad there are so many of us - have wondered at times if I had a borderline eating disorder.

    I'm sure lots of folk have microwaved cheese on a plate like I used to.

    My most recent confession is to going wild last week and eating 5 packs of crisps and popcorn and drinking enough alcohol to make me stagger around. These two things are almost certainly connected.

    Has anyone seen @BZAH10 around or have I just missed her posts?

    She's around. Just hasn't been to this thread. Don't know why.

    Took the dialect quiz and got Shreveport La, Baton Rouge La, and Jackson Ms. Funny since I live near Houston in Texas. Guess I need to move a little more eastward.

    When I would stay at my grandma's I would always look in her fridge to see if she had any icing & then I would take a spoon & eat some.

    My grandma would make us graham cracker/icing 'sandwiches.' Mmm, I haven't had one of those in decades...

    Oooh... you are Super Great!

    Leg Day for me today... I can't maintain consistent squat form to save my life, and I refuse to increase my lift until I get the bugs ironed out, it's very frustrating... but I'm still rather conscious of my glutes right now.

    @Italian_Buju hope the weight machines went well... and the Quest bar... not sure about working out after one of those, they tend to sit in my stomach like an indigestible lump for quite a while.

    Ugh having a rough day today… Took yesterday off work to do a mental health day… I did my C25k run, walked around 2 different malls (did buy a few things, but not much), drank some Starbucks, actually got a mani/pedi…and then last night was rough, my nails are already smudged, came in this morning to a scolding from my boss (who is notoriously difficult to please, but still…) and I’ve just had it. I WAS less stressed yesterday until dealing with my defiant 3.5 yr old, and now this…
    Weight’s down a bit, and I hit goal weight#2. Not happy (still) with how I look, so I lowered it again to 120. I’m 5’4.5; that should still be ok. 128.5 looks lumpy on me. Hoping the jogging will help thin my legs/hips more.

    Yuck day. So sorry. Hugs. I always get a gel manicures (the one with UV light to cure the polish) because they are dry by the time you leave the salon. I have never had one smudge.

    I have never seen Friends. I guess I am off the friend list. :(

    ETA: Shoot tried to cut that down and got messed up quotes. [/quote]

    You're not getting rid of me that easily, Patricia!

    I'm probably slogging through a plateau right now, but I'm being delusional about it.

    Update from yesterday: I let the dog sleep inside. I locked up the entire house (we live in the boonies, and usually don't). I couldn't sleep. I'm exhausted this morning.

    Confession - kinda: I tried out for Wheel of Fortune (the TV show) once. I got called back for a second 'interview.' I wasn't chosen and I haven't watched the show since. It's like I'm trying to punish them for not choosing me. Which is dumb, because they don't know if I am watching or not. (The guy that was chosen was a school 'lunch lady' and won over $40,000. He definitely needed the money more than me.)

    Hahah! Oops!
    I used to work in an engineering office - 95% male. 42.3% of them would walk around unzipped most of the time, and I'd have to try not to notice.
    Is it just a British thing to say "You've got egg on your chin" to subtly alert someone that their fly is unzipped? Is there an American equivalent?

    The phrase I use is 'you're flying at half mast'. I think it refers to having your white shirt poking through your flies. Always makes me laugh.

    I finally got the quiz to work - I think I was breaking it with the one set of questions because my map ended up all blue for most of the questions.

    My most similar are: Seattle, Tacoma and Salt Lake City.

    Least similar: Amarillo, Lubbock, Shreveport.

    LOL!

    This is one of my favorite scenes

    Oh & when Chandler puts in someone else's gum & starts to choke.

    The last one is my favorite and I use Ross's description any time I refer to cilantro or blue cheese. When people ask me how I know what feet taste like, I tell them they tastes like cilantro. :wink:

    FTFY.

    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. Which is the best of all of the Cokes.

    Yuck day. So sorry. Hugs. I always get a gel manicures (the one with UV light to cure the polish) because they are dry by the time you leave the salon. I have never had one smudge.

    I was being cheap because it was $15 more for the gel :( (plus I wanted a bright pink and they didn't have it). I learned my lesson- it's gel next time if I ever go again. I usually do my own manicures but thought it'd be fun for a change.

    Weird complaint of the day but I wish they sold more things in 5 packs.

    I tend to want the same thing for lunch all week but everything comes in 4's which leaves me scrambling on Friday.

    Or a 6 pack. What about Sunday?! I agree with the above statement wholeheartedly.

    This is true. Correct me if I'm wrong, but most American houses are timber construction aren't they? I remember staying in a holiday house in Florida. It was MASSIVE and beautiful but all wood, which I found really odd considering its kind of hurricaney (yes, hurricaney) in Florida and it felt like it would just... blow away.

    There are building codes here, though. It would have passed inspection.

    Most timber homes aren't entirely made of wood, however. It would get too hot and you would lose your AC through the cracks. Unless you're talking about a campground, you would have had a support layer of concrete. Although the building codes were tightened after Andrew, so I suppose it's possible that you were in an old home.

    The majority of hurricane damage is due to flooding. Had that during Fay and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
