Well, with the two of you, it's fun. Sometime I launch into the slovenly mode (not southern) when I get mildly irritated with something I read on here that seems silly to me. Sorta like expressing mild contempt, without getting snotty, ya know?

There have been more writers than Mark Twain that have written entire books with an accent like people actually "tawk," don'tcha know. I started doing it in defiance of the ridgid spelling and grammar police on FR.

Their intentions are good in that they know the world reads this site and they want the standards kept high and conservative. As one can see lately, those standards are hard to maintain, the more popular this site becomes.

It is truly... "A site to behold!"

Grampa Dave... Dittos to your magnificent reply, above!!!

SW thanks for your kind words re my response.

It appears that the Union Thugs pretending to be conservatives of those great world class losing third parties of America have a full court push about how bad our economy is. The usual labor day bs courtesy of left wingers and union thugs is all over FR today.

Another indicator to buy more stocks and mutual funds that are investing in America today not yesterday.

My, my, my...SierraWasp is a rebel! Maybe that's why it comes so easily to me. heheh It sure does "sound" Southern, but there aren't a whole lot of us folks in your neck of the woods, so slovenly will do just fine.

"Sorta like expressing mild contempt, without getting snotty, ya know?"

That's almost "tact", and it's much better than getting snotty.

"A site to behold!"

Amen!

I really enjoyed "tawkin" to Porterville. I haven't been to his part of the world in many years, so it was a lot of fun.
