Yes, I realized that after I seen the picture that was posted in another thread. I know, I'm an idiot.

Soybeans are more downstate Brian. Upstate... er... well it's not really upstate LOL Upstate is north of the C and D canal and downstate is below it, I guess I should say the southern half of my county... but the southern half of my county, it's more wheat and corn. Also, there are quite a few peach orchards in the other two counties. Peaches used to be a rather large cash crop for us... Yes, Delaware has only 3 counties.
and brian, it wasn't the cheese conversation which told me where you lived. If you recall many, many, MANY moons ago, you did tell me.... when we used to talk on AIM before I developed a terminal case of the stupids.... which I am still apologetic for.

I think 6pm EST is a good idea. Since we have so many folks on here who cover darn near every time zone on this planet, (and them some of us old timers who just can't stay up real late
) that should be a good time to start.And yes, poor Hoss was about banging his head against the wall over tryin' to figure your name. By the way Scoot, I still can't believe you've never heard of Robert Culp...
Yeah, unfortunately, when I read, I'm kinda more into romances set in regency England or early America... LOL I do like some books of action though. I'll have to look into his books. I don't read much since I burned out (I was reading about four to six books a week). Right now I'm more happy writing than reading. I haven't quite recovered from the burn out.
Sorry about that Hoss. Didn't mean to make you bang your head against the wall.
And one more thing MaryAnne - I agree with you for the reasons you mentioned the earlier start time was good. Not only are there old timers, there are also many teenagers amongst the membership now, many of which have very vigilant parents who monitor their internet usage, something which didn't seem to be done as much ten years ago (in other words, they can't pull all nighters like some of us in our 20's did way back when)... and then there's those who have to be up right early for work (I know of one amongst the membership who gets up at about 3:30 in the morning their time to get ready for work).
In other words, a lot of people just aren't night owls anymore... except maybe Hoss LOL.

And on Television, Hoss, most American accents are toned way down. Usually what you get on TV is a Mid-Atlantic (Philadelphia, New Jersey) accent with a drawl added for the south or where ever they are supposed to be from.
I had a teacher who went to school for journalism who happened to mention this. He mentioned that they would teach the Mid-Atlantic accent to students so they would be more likely to get a job as a news anchor, as the Mid-Atlantic accent is one of the easiest to understand in the US.

Ah, so it's the family farm. I know what state that is in.
I bet I know why you find it's so cool that he owns a farm... it's a hop, skip, and jump from where you live
or at least in the same state.And Delaware does have several farms, thank you very much!

Anyone else think the six pm start time would be better?

I believe BL is right.
I agree Roger. If it weren't for the other picture I probably wouldn't have noticed. I made a similar mistake when I asked a question about license plates, which was embarrassing because it was one of the first that I posted
.I just hope it wasn't the General's license plate that you goofed, cause that would be just... too embarrassing for words.

In the zunsheen of our zummers
Wi’ the hay time now a-come,
How busy wer we out a-vield
Wi’ vew a-left at hwome,
When waggons rumbled out ov yard
Red wheeled, wi’ body blue,
And back behind ‘em loudly slamm’d
The geate a’vallen to.
In the sunshine of our summers, with the hay time now having come, how busy were we out in the field, with a view to the left of home, when wagons rumbled out of our yard, red wheeled with body blue, and back behind them loudly slammed, the gate a wailing too.
I believe that should be pretty close to what was being said.

Well now, we have a few casino's here too, and if I had the money, I would so go... but... I'm flat out broke.
If they do an album together, which would be so freakin' cool, I would so buy it, especially if it's country... erm... as soon as I got the money.
I did not know Tom owned a farm. Very interesting. I wonder what state it's in. It would be so cool to live in the same state! Unfortunately Delaware is too small for that to realistically happen, but still, it would be so cool!

I hope if they are doing Dukes, they don't choose a blond for Daisy... and I REALLY hope they don't mess Bo and Luke up like they did before... and I hope they pick some good lookin' guys for them too... and stick with the morals the Dukes had. I mean, Uncle Jesse and the boys doing Pot? It just doesn't stay true to the show.
Hopefully they can get it right this time.

Brian, don't feel bad, there's words that come out of my mouth you wouldn't understand either.... especially if I'm upset.
Being stuck between north and south, I have a toned down southern accent. Well, it's a Southern Delaware accent mixed with North Carolina and Virginia. I grew up in Northern Delaware where the Delaware accent has disappeared to be replaced with Philadelphia and New York, but, I spent a good deal of time with my mother and grandparents who had the Delaware, North Carolina, and Virginia accents. The actual Delaware accent is disappearing in this day and age. Very unfortunate. I usually get asked if I'm from out of state, with only one person, when I was out of state, correctly guessing the Delaware accent.
I can understand most southerners quite well, only meeting a few who had a drawl so thick I had to have them slow down when they talked... and of course, that was on the phone so there was also static playing into there too.
My favorite that confuses many folks, which is a DelMarVa word which extends to parts of West Virginia and Ohio: Creek. With my accent, it's pronounced Crick. Confused many a folk.

I AM in the mid-atlantic states. Like K said, we had almost no winter.
coincidentally, bomb threats were very regular in my middle school, as were pulled fire alarms and wonder of wonders: an actual fire in the girl's bathroom.
Once I hit high school, the bomb threats went away, but too many kids were afraid to make them. Our school was very particular about who they let in because it wasn't a regular public school - it was a vocational school. If you made a threat, you got kicked out of it and had to go to regular school... and at one time, during the 90's, it was one of the top 50 schools in the US.

Sorry y'all missed it. It was much more toned down than the meetin's of the past (everyone was well behaved and no one was swinging from the chandelier), but it was a good time, even with a small turnout.
MaryAnne finally put Hoss out of his misery. He's spent the past month trying to figure out my real name. It was fun while it lasted.
The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for:
Friday, June 1st, 2012... Possibly... eh... apparently 8pm is too late for some folks, so how about we shoot for six pm EST? Thoughts and opinions?
