ugly bag of mostly water
don’t keep sweatin’ what I do 'cause I’m gonna be just fine
Yup my husband likes Tyler Childers too, but I don’t care for him. I don’t think I’ve heard of Jason Isbell.
But to each their own! I love pop music from the '60s and my husband’s not nuts about it. Like Sly and the Family Stone say, different strokes for different folks. :)
I don’t generally drink soda but when i do, birch beer is my favorite; second favorites are Dr. Pepper, cream soda, and cranberry ginger ale.
Country music. That twangy sound is super grating to me, I hate the way certain vowels get stretched out, plus I have no cultural touchpoints with it on either a lyrical or musical level. The stuff that seems most popular is the most obnoxious to me. I’m told this is “the Nashville sound”. Different strokes for different folks, but I sincerely don’t get the appeal of it.
But there’s some country-adjacent music that can be alright. E.g., my husband got really into Sturgill Simpson and I ended up more or less liking his Sound and Fury album, even if some of the vocals do have that irritating twang. I guess I’d consider that more like country-infused rock.
And I guess some older country can be OK once in a while - e.g., Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton.
This is fucking infuriating.
My regional rail line is getting shut down. This is going to make traffic significantly worse on at least 3 major roads.
The biggest problem is that kids are reciting it without understanding the words they’re saying or the concepts they convey. When I was a little kid I was just repeating the syllables I was given, with no real idea about what it all meant*. Nobody should take any pledge until they can clearly explain what it means and what it means to them. And obviously a pledge should always be voluntary.
*Same as forcing a kid to go through the sacraments but I digress.
Interesting! I think central, north, and south Jersey all have some distinctions in accent. Plus I think a lot of people have a pretty stereotyped idea of what New Jerseyans are “supposed” to sound like haha
Ringtone? My dude, the only people I know who have their ringer volume on are all in their seventies.
No thank you! That one really bothers me for some reason.
Same as “eltse” for else, “foe-ward” for forward, “warsh” for wash, and “ayggs” for eggs.
And some people say “heighth” for height and I swear it’s just to fuck with me.
I’m from NJ and Murray, merry, marry, and Mary are all distinct.
Berry is like merry and bury is like Murray.
I’ve lived in Philly and then the suburbs for a couple of decades now and have never noticed the berry-bury thing - I’m guessing it’s a South Philly thing? So do you eat straw’bury’s or do you ‘berry’ your dead pets?
I hate it. I don’t personally want any eye contact, so I don’t know how much eye contact is the right amount, and I end up making brief eye contact because I know I should, then looking away because it’s uncomfortable and I don’t want it to be too much. And I lose my train of thought in the process. It’s so much easier to talk to people if I can look in their general direction but not in their eyes.
Seer-shuh I think
Glaw-stuh-shur, correct?
Gimme all the gazpacho!
Oh, I’ve met one of those, I call her Mom.
There’s a fifth, but
Hooray for yeeting the ute! Did you keep your ovaries, and either way, are you going to start HRT to stave off early menopause? From what I understand, in a hysterectomy the blood flow to the ovaries can get disrupted and they might not function as well, so you start meno earlier than you otherwise would’ve.
