Waking up early on a Thursday morning.

Midday in England, between the stinging cold of morning and the stinging sun of the afternoon.

I side with Tech9 and call it "misery."
About the only other thing I know about the state is it really weirds me out when someone says I'm from the South.

Only if you are from the Bootheel. Otherwise, the Midwest with influences from different directions.

Indiana is one of those states with its own regional accents. My relatives in the northern part of the state speak with the typical flat, Midwestern "newscaster" accent, but I knew a guy from around the Evansville area, and he spoke like he was from Kentucky (and he was an ardent Cubs fan too). There seems to be an accent line crossing the middle of the state. I noticed the same in Ohio. Up in Cleveland, they speak like Northerners, but as you get south of Columbus, then you might as well be in WV or KY.

Good morning. I'm tired, grumpy, in pain and probably coming down with plague or something.

Edit: And sound like @Wu Wei

It's that old, squeaky, perverted brain of yours that's the problem!

 

[Stonetree]

I said "sounds like".. not "is", don't panic, no one could ever take your place

Brown Noser!

Following a freezing fog morning we are winning with a sunny, 15c (59f) afternoon.

Hey, I drink a bottle of wine every day - does that count? LOL

I believe red is good for the heart. The locals here have been wine drinkers since childhood. The tendency is to live into their 90s, we lost a friend a few years ago, she was 104.

@ChristineM I found a local global food store that sells Yorkshire black tea. They also sell Turkish Delight and lots of other interesting foods that are international in reference to the US.

Yorkshire tea is the best.

Do they sell Richmond sausages??? A friend who moved to California was over the moon when she found a shop selling Richmond sausages

A kid hits you on your bare calf with one and it extends beyond just appearance. They are woody and pokey when dry.

We called them prickly balls, and I remember as a kid getting into a friendly prickly ball fight, the combatants sporting the telltale battle scars, one of them memorably being square in the center of his forehead. : )

If they were what we called 'itchy balls', we also played those games....

Definitely not a game I played...

So you had itchy balls? Did you also play pocket billiards?

Winning without moving.

Wrongo pongo - your fingers or mouth moved and that must have been a moving experience.
