a Sub Cherry tomato I don't say "All ya'll", but I do say "ya'll" Glove compartment. I thought it was the funniest thing ever the first time I heard someone call it a "glove box" sometimes I do it both ways, sometimes the pirate way previously described, sometimes the "aww" way. HAHAHAHAHA! well when I say it I clearly stress the "a" sound.

I saw bits of an episode once at a friend's place. It did seem funny. I'd love to hear that speech you were talking about. So does the DEA agent KNOW about Nancy's line of work? LOL I saw Saved! it was pretty funny IMO too. take care all and have a terrific day! Kevin

I agree with Graeme. The counseling might be benificial if it just gives you a chance to talk about your thoughts and feelings, fears and concerns etc. (I personally think everyone could benefit from an occasional therapy session), but the counselor shouldn't be trying to "fix it" or help you because you're "confused". You're mom could benefit from a few sessions too since she needs to get used to the idea and adjust as well. we're all here for you and wishing you the best, Jared. Good Luck! Kevin

HAHAHA!

Great story, I really enjoyed it

What a sad song. Very nice though

amusing song well done, have you written songs before? have an awesome day and take care! Kevin

Hey Nick! I'm so glad you've been doing well and enjoying a less stressful life! I'm really really enjoying Bodega Bay and I can't wait to see what happens next! It's no wonder you get so much fanmail about it LOL, I hope Taylor stays safe when he's in the car; driving can really scary! Take care and have an awesome day!! Kevin

Hey Luc, I'm sorry that your new working hours suck so much Is there anyway you can get transferred to a different shift once you've been there awhile? Good luck and hang in there; perhaps one of those other people will call you in and you'll get somthing you enjoy more! Take care Kevin

LOL that reminds me of a little miss communication that happened to a friend once. In my native area of Louisiana people use the term "get down" to mean get out of the car and go in. Apparently in other regions "get down" has some serious sexual connotations. Well a few years ago a friend of mine was dating a guy from further north. Anyway they pulled up to this grocery store and she was about to get out and go in. So naturally she turned to her boyfriend and asked, "you want to get down with me?" From what I hear he looked very shocked and stuttered something along the lines of, "yo...you mean...right here? in the parking lot?" -Kevin

Awwww thanks everyone!

Hey Joe, I'm so sorry things are uncomfortable right now. It does sound like your mom isn't too pleased with the situation, but it's a very good sign that she approached it in (from her point of view at least) a warm, loving way. It sounds like she's pretty religious, but not in an agressive, malevolent way. So it may just end up being one of those things that you guys always disagree on. However, the other are right; with time and more information she may begin to move toward acceptance. If I were you, and this is just purely how I would react, I would be very nice and friendly around her, but not really bring "it" up. Like don't avoid her, but don't shove that aspect in her face either. If she brings it up I'd try to be open to the conversation, pay attention to and listen to what she has to say...but be unyielding in your views. Also I'd stress that you're happy, everything's fine, and there's nothing to fix. Of course that's all just my opinion and you'll have to do what's best for you. I wish you the best, Joe. We're all here for you, and if you need to talk or anything you know where to find me Take care Kevin

Take care, David, I hope you feel better. Good luck with the job search, Kevin

Hey James! I'm so happy for you and so proud of you! That's so awesome, way to go! It does sound like a really tough journey, but you made it through and that's fantastic!! I wish you the best on the rest of your journey That's easy Luc! We get hair dye ah, for that you need an aggressive hair removal program I'm going with lazer, which by the way, OUCH! LOL, I paid enough for it and I use it all the time! BTW, redheads have fun too! I'm going red again for Valentine's day Seriously though, James, Awesome job and I'm super-proud of you Kevin

awwww they're adorable Luc!! And Marina is a really beautiful lady!

Yay for Kaiten's birthday!! I hope you have a REALLY awesome day and a completely amazing year! You're one of the sweetest people around here and I'm always really excited to see a new post from you (or better yet a blog entry!!) So have a VERY: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Take care! Kevin

hehehe, well I voted for "Water Fountain" because that's what I've really always called it, but I like "Bubbler" so much I might just start calling it that in the future! Kevin

**raises his hand** actually I probably wouldn't say it myself (unless I wanted to start a conversation), but that's the choice I'm most familar with and my grandfather used to always say it. hehe I agree too! I don't have the accent myself, but it is cute. I seem to remember a comic a few years back making jokes about the phrase "jeat" which OF COURSE means "Did you eat?" Anyway I haven't yet, so I'd better get going Take care all, Kevin

YAY For Davey! You page looks GREAT, and I'm REALLY enjoying Runaways and Love Never Dies, and The Valentine's was just totally awesome and ! I'm so glad you're shared hosted now, you definitely deserved it! Have an awesome day Kevin

Your Linguistic Profile: 45% General American English 25% Dixie 25% Yankee 0% Midwestern 0% Upper Midwestern Interesting, I've never heard that. Sounds cute though lol. Similarly I don't call the person diagonal from me "Kitty corner" or "Catty corner", so I HAD to pick "Diagonal", I'd call them "Cat-a-corner" I've heard "crip course" so I picked that, but I don't call it any of those three either. Kevin

I hope he's doing better now. That's great that the rest of the family took it so well! Hang in there, hopefully after he's had more time he'll be okay with it. Also welcome to the forum Take care and have an awesome day! Kevin

Awwww Thanks everyone! I really appreciate all the birthday wishes! You guys really made it even more special for me I did have a really great birthday! LOL and David, yep, I got Lucky sitting right here next to me. She says hey
