Hi-Ho Silver Day[/quote]and who is that mask man???
So my friends/family/neighbors thought I was "strange" when I re-landscaped my entire yard - hauled brick, stone, rock, gravel, dirt, mulch, trees, plants (lots of them)_, well just wait till they hear after many years, I am finally almost finished - I've decided it's now OK and will stop. Lots of work, I have totally transformed my hugh yard. I now have many different gardens with interesting borders and edging. I even put patterns in the rock area using gravel and different kinds of rock. Will this keep me here? Nope - come spring (if home prices are up at all, I'm selling and moving on) It's been great therapy and keeps me in shape. Neighbors walk by and look at hugh piles of rock. etc... and look at me and can't believe that I'm going to do this. Showed them, I did! Lots of walking traffic. . Bonus Question: Sudcaro & elston had great ideas and suggested I ask
What do you call A long roll with meat & cheese ? hoagie, sub - grew up in MN A mix of milk, ice cream & flavoring ? If malt flavoring is used then malt. If not, shake. Carbonated beverage ? I use the brand name (Coke, pepsi or just root beer). Occasionally 'pop'. A "soda" will get you pop + ice cream

National Thank-You Day - here's to Karla for taking the time to do this for us! Edit: I just had to share this with you - last night, about 2 a.m. I woke up to my dog doing a high pitched yip - about 1 yip every minuute. I got up to find her in the kitchen staring at the drawer under the oven. She saw me and got frantic. I thought, man, this is too early to deal with whatever monster is behind there. She wouldn't stop - she's part Brittany and she has strong hunter instincts. My other dog just layed there like" Will you shut her up!" So I got a hammer, broom and a thick pair of gloves and started pulling everything out of the drawer. Nothing there so I pulled the drawer out (scared out of my wits). Well, 2 years ago when I replaced my old stove. there was a dead mouse behind the old one (eeewwww) so before I put the new one in I put down mouse killer. Sure enough - there was a recently dead (not all shrivelly yet) mouse. We ceremonially (is that a word) took it out to the garbage can and she was so satisfied and so pleased with herself. Good puppy!!

Bonus Question:
What do you call: A long roll with meat & cheese ? In Maine that is an "Italian Sandwich" or "an Italian" for short. In neighboring NH we called them "Subs", but the rolls were sometimes labeled "Grinder Rolls" in the supermarket.
A mix of milk, ice cream & flavoring ?I now call it a "milk shake" but I usually ask, "Does that have ice cream in it? just to be sure. Formative parts of my childhood were in RI and there a milk shake is just that....milk and flavored syrup (usually coffee) and a "cabinet" is flavoring, milk with ice cream and an "Awful Awful" (sold at the Newport Creamery is an awful big and awful thick milk shake or malted milk shake).
When I lived in Cincinnati....we called them "frappes".
Carbonated beverage ? I grew up calling them either "tonic" as the generic word or by the type or brand. Mom made and bottled root beer....and we called it by that title, "May I please have a root beer.....or an "orange crush" I am still more apt to say Ginger Ale or Coke than "soda"...but soda is now the generic. Extra Credit Question:
I know I can't be the only one here that has many versions of a favorite song sung by different artists. So does anyone else do this ?If so, which song do you have the most versions of ?
I have multiple versions of "Amazing Grace" on different Albums and different versions of some of the Bob Dylan songs that were covered by others......also "We Shall Overcome" and some of the Pucinni arias I have by different artists.
