I want to apologize for my swearing, I tried to censor myself best I could, but you can only be so polite when angry. I would also like to apologize for dumping all of this on you without posting much, I just wasn't sure where else to post it, people don't really interact with me much anywhere else And I want to thank all of you for your kind words. I understand that not much can help in a random forum I found, but sometimes just seeing a reply notification can help loads

I obviously hear so many US voices that I don't really notice the difference in pronunciation with the name George. I saw some short videos yesterday of young Americans returning to the US after brief visits to Europe, and the most important thing they could find to say was that in "The Land of the Free" they could remove the caps from their soda bottles. For the last couple of years our plastic soda and water bottles have had caps which remain tethered to the bottles so the whole lot can get recycled. In Ireland we also pay a deposit on each bottle (15c or 25c depending on size) which we get back when they are returned to a store for recycling. The caps can still be separated easily if it's really too much to deal with, but you get used to them pretty quickly. I find it particularly odd that this should be such an issue for young Americans since when I visited the US in the early 80s you guys had soda cans with ring pulls which stayed attached while on our cans they were still separate and were often just thrown away! This video is now two years old, but the comparison of food prices and availability is still valid. The lady in the video spends six months of the year in the UK and six months in Texas, and the comparison is between Tesco in the UK and Kroger in the US.

I DO have a degree in Psychology but like Roger said, it's hard to help over the computer. We are......nevertheless, here for you/with you!

Wow! That is a lot....and none of it good. We care about you and are concerned, but I'm sure you know there is only so much we can do on forums like these. It sure sounds like you need more help than internet friends can provide so I suggest you reach out to local organizations that can help. If you don't know where to go maybe you can contact your county health department and they can point you in the right direction. Churches also can offer help but if you aren't inclined to go that route I understand. We have all been at low points in our lives and talking about it is always the most important step to get better and that means face to face counseling with someone who is trained to help. Please seek out a person like that and keep us updated.

I went through a rough time 2 years ago when my daughter was killed and posted about it here. I knew it would depress folks but I also knew they cared enough that they wanted me to cry on their shoulders. People here genuinely care so go ahead and vent anytime, so long as you realize there is only so much we can do. You are a Dukes fan and we are family because of it. If anybody here gets tired of you venting (I doubt that will happen) they can simply stop reading this thread. BTW to you other folks, the guy who killed my daughter just got out of prison after service 6 months for vehicular manslaughter.

Garrett's Bears beat my Steelers by three points today and the Bears are having a great year. Where are you Garrett? You should be here to tease me about beating the Steelers. I looked up to see how the Bears got their name. The Cubs already existed and the Bears owner George Hallas thought football players were bigger, tougher and stronger than baseball players so went with Bears.......now known as DaBears.

Yes, we all miss Garrett! Hey bud! I hope you see this and come back soon! ( I sure hope nothing bad has happened!)

The FIRST 5 were FILMED in Georgia

Recently, I've been watching a lot of "Americans React to" videos on YouTube. In the ones I watch they're mainly reacting to British/Irish TV shows and stand-ups, but a few are more general videos looking at the differences between us, i.e. two nations divided by a common language. It appears that while the Brits and Irish have been consuming US TV shows (Dukes included) and cultural reference points for decades, the exchange doesn't get far in the opposite direction. Many British TV shows just get remade for the US market with widely varying results. Sometimes it seems that only Peppa Pig is flying the flag! The result appears to be that British/Irish TV shows and culture often leave Americans baffled with phrases which simply haven't crossed to the US. I thought I'd post some of the source videos, with this first one just being about how we say and use numbers differently (and it doesn't even mention Americans writing dates the wrong way around! ). Look out for a brief Dukes reference about 2/3 of the way through. BTW. To count seconds I was taught to say "a thousand and one, a thousand and two" etc. I've also heard of the "one Mississippi, two Mississippi" method, but none of the others in this video.

Daniel CURRIE played Homer Sneed Here in Ireland, Bosco was a children's TV show which was on at around the same time as Dukes (1979-1987 for Bosco). I wasn't in the country when it aired, but a lot of people my age remember it fondly.

That was a good post cousin. If you need me, simple pm me and we will set something up or just pm back/forth. You know you've always had my heart over this!

the general had a carb....no fuel INJECTION

Rosco's radar gun was a HAIR dryer.

TDOH was one of the GREATEST shows on TV!

I saw this 'Home Alone' meme recently.

Documented with pictures and a location link in the Hazzard Square thread.

My granddaughter loved Peppa Pig when she was little (she's 14 now) and because of that she always pronounced George with a British accent. So anytime she would say George she would say it with that accent, not knowing it was an accent. It took us awhile to figure out she wasn't faking the accent but really thought that is how it supposed to be pronounced (here).

The Las Vegas Grand Prix was on at a strange time of day for us over here. The races usually start in the early afternoon on a Sunday, but this week's race was at 8pm local time on Saturday, which was 4am Sunday morning for me! One of the practice sessions was curtailed by a loose manhole cover and qualifying took place on a wet track. Championship leader Lando Norris still managed to put his McLaren on pole ahead of Max Verstappen, Carlos Sainz and George Russell. Lando's team mate and championship rival Oscar Piastri could only manage fifth. Lewis Hamilton had his worst ever qualifying finishing in 20th and last on pace (rather than a mechanical issue). Lando had a strong start, but he overshot the first turn and was overtaken by Max and George. A few cars in the midfield came together with a bit of bodywork lost and Lance Stroll retiring. After the pit stops Lando got past George, but couldn't catch Max. George's team mate Kimi Antonelli finished fourth, but he had a 5-second penalty for a jump start, so was classified as fifth with Oscar in fourth. Mainly by avoiding the crash on the first lap, Lewis Hamilton made it up to tenth. That's how it was as the race finished, but a few hours later both McLarens were disqualified for illegal ride heights. Apparently, their skid plates were below regulation thickness. The disqualification promoted George to second and Kimi to third. This leaves Lando still leading the championship, but only by 24 points, and both Oscar and Max are now in joint second. You can see the original race highlights here and a quick explanation of the disqualifications here. There's now only two full races and a sprint race left this season with a maximum of 58 points available. The Qatar Grand Prix and sprint race are next weekend.

I've never bought anything on the internet but my wife has bought things for me before. It's amazing what you can buy there. What was Rosco's Mama's quote? "You mean you got a girl out of a machine? Lordy, what will they think of next?"

ACTING Sheriff Barnes

ZERO one

Formula 1 Cadillac are entering a team next year.

I hope it all gets better for you! Just remember, You've got plenty of friends/cousins, right here!

The HazzardNet used to be a lot more active but now can see why it can be tough to think of things to say....but there are four ways to fix that. 1) reply to word association 2) reply to the A-Z thread 3) look through the thousands of threads laying around and revive one 4) be inventive and create something new. We are happy to have you as part of the family.

Not a fan. Tractors replace mules and I'd rather plow the back 40 with Maudeen.

Folks, several people have been signing up with inappropriate and destructive links in their profiles. To stop this behavior and to protect our membership, I have decided to disable website links in member profiles. I realize this is somewhat of a penalty for those of you who have websites, but it is needed to prevent our membership from getting viruses from these sites and to protect those of our members who are minors from stumbling onto some incredibly disgusting and inappropriate websites. The latest batch of new member profiles had links to sites that were riddled with viruses and trojans.
