1. are you a crier? Do you cry easy? (like when customers yell at you?)
2. In Winnemucca, we call ourselves "Winnemuccans"
How does one call themselves in the cities they live?
YOU!
I was thinking specifically Elko..... cuz we were talking about it at lunch. What do we call them.... Elkens? Elkoites?
and then the rest of you too?
Okay....I'll start with the answers that came in already...
but I want answers from all of you.
from Meghan Stone in Livermore, CA:
I used to call people who lived in Livermore Livermorons.
But I live here now!! so ... now we are the wine-ohs. growing up, being a 4th generation San Franciscan, we were called Native Daughters... which I guess many cities called their daughters??? or no? we were the Native Daughters......
from Sadie Stone in New Haven, CT:
When we lived in Stockton we were Stocktonians (which I always thought was ridiculous sounding) In New Haven, it's the elm city. When people are referring to the area or the people in it, it's the Elm city residents. I actually have an ID that labels me as such, called the Elm city resident ID card. No New Havians or anything nutty like that as far as I've ever heard.On the same note at Yale we're called Yalies.
from Tomi Pingree in Kaysville, UT:
We are called Elkoans.
me/debbie:
As you can deduce, Tomi "was" an Elkoan. Now she's a Kaysville Kutie!! Or a Kay-Villain.
Interesting...Elm City residents.
and still laughing about the LiverMORONS.
LOL
*******
I'm cryyyyyyin' (over you)
from Meghan:
yes...I cry very easily....not if someone yells....(oh, no you DIDN'T?) but at more joyous things, like when I am at a musical and the music swells? also daily at Oprah, whatever the topic may be.
me/debbie:
well....not in front of anyone, but after they leave!!
LOL
from Sadie:
I can be a crier- it depends on the situation. Frustration will lead me to tears, and sometimes when customers yell it is just frustrating, but other times it just makes me mad. But I cry a lot more than I used to.
from Tomi:
Yes-I'm such a crier! Not so much when people are squawking at me, but in more of a sentimental, schmultzy way. I cry when the kids have been gone for awhile and they come home. I cry when they leave. I cry when I read, watch movies, hear patriotic music. I cry at church. I'm a weenie.
me/debbie:
you should have come to the "wiener" fest.

oh...this is why
ohhh.... this is why..
from Meghan:
the phrase graveyard shift is from centuries ago when they would often accidentally bury people alive...they started tying a bell on a string to their wrist before burying someone and then people would sit at the graveyard to listen for any ringing bells!!! I just read it in a book...cant remember what one, but that's how I know!
we have a VERY bold raccoon living in our yard...last night he accidentally bumped the horse tire swing when he went by it...then decided to have a punching fight with it... if I had been inside not knowing he was out there, and saw the swing go swinging left then right I would have been terrified!

new week
To begin our week.....
(as you know, Cherrie Loohoo, Rich's sister is working "graveyard" shift at the Boeing Plant.
HEY...why do they call it "graveyard?". Why not just night shift? Because it's the "scary" shift? hmmmm.
AND...she is all alone, guarding the waste water treatment facilities)
(Georgann....well, maybe she wishes her neighbor was.....not so scary.)
Scary working shifts and scary neighbors to begin the FF week.... (say that last sentence in a whisper)
from Cherrie in Washington:
So you're up and at it nice and early today!
I am getting ready to write my tie-in so I can go home at 6:00.
This place can be really creepy in the middle of the night, no one is around, the video cameras have strange shadows that kind of morph or flicker little changes that catch your eye. You find yourself staring at the screen thinking to yourself "What was that! Did something just move on camera three again?!?! why are the lights going on behind that tank?!? What could the motion detector pick up at 3:15 am??? OH NO!!! there it IS on camera Six headed right TOWARDS MY JEEP!!!!!
It's a . . . It's a . . . IT'S A.... Raccoon, headed over to the trash collection area looking for a munchie." Whew! I was worried some monster had crawled out of one of the toxic tanks and was going to go cruisin' in my jeep, or even worse find it's way to the control room to visit me! LOL! I better be careful or I really will scare myself.
It's actually kind of fun doing this job right now, but I will be happy to go back to my regular job when the workers come back from the strike.
Have a great day, and enjoy the weather for me, since I am sleeping through these beautiful September days ;-(
Cherrie Lou Who
from Georgann in California:
I have hesitated to write about our "crazy" neighbor...but this morning was typical of her behavior. She is an Orthopedic surgical nurse...be aware. This morning she is at the far end of her yard screaming into her phone...."my phone # is.......write it down, not like the last f....king idiot that didn't.you f....king idiot." That was how the call continued, apparently she lost her LAN line. I don't know why the person on the other end did not just hang up on her. She then began to swear and yell at her dog....this isn't just yelling, it's a high pitched scream. We have heard her screaming at the dog because it didn't poop fast enough. When we moved here she had two pit bulls, one had been a bait dog. She would scream and swear at them, not that they were offended by the swearing but I don't think I would agitate two pit bulls. We call her "crazy lady:
More about her later.
me/debbie:
did not poop fast enough.... ??
huh.
LOL

music bans?
Would you rather be banned from listening to male singers or female singers?
It's just one of those random questions you ask at parties....when conversation is lagging.
LOL LOL
from Shelly in Nevada:
Are you on a "banned" kick these days?
from Barbarb B in Arizona:
I can't decide. What if it's a guy with a high falsetto voice, or a girl with a deep baritone? Then what? Where do you come up with some of these nutty questions??!!
from Jolina in Nevada:
neither
from Cherrie Loohoo in Washington:
Now that's just a horrible question! I feel just as strong about not banning books as you do, but when it comes to music, it is an art just as noble as writting. I hate having to look at CDs in the stores for the lable that they have edited the content for launguage etc., just to make sure I don't buy an altered version. If the artist intended to write the song without certain words, he or she would have! and granted some artists are harsh, but no one MAKES you buy their work. The same with movies, no one MAKES a person watch something they don't want to!
OK, if I really have to answer this, I would choose to keep Male singers, because it broadens your range of choices.

Weirdos
I love her, I do.... but how the HELL can you eat a sandwich with NOTHING on the bread.
(except for my son Dustin, who can do the same...how the hell?)
from Traci in California:
Oh...salami sounds SOOO good right now. Salami and crackers or a salami sandwich? If a sandwich what do you put on it?
me/debbie:
you are making me hungry.
I don't have salami...we ate it all yesterday.
mustard and mayo.
what do you put on it?
Traci:
If I have an avacado, it's mustard, avacado and salami..... if no avacado.. nothing just bread & salami.
