Post #204,904 by gdaustin 4/27/05 12:29:45 AM Reply	Figured it out... I must have picked up some words from those New Yorkers my wife worked with when JCPenney moved from NYC to Plano, TX. Her language and nature changed when she worked there 8 years. Now, she would fit in NYC, from her language and tough nature. She's now been gone about 8 years, and the NYC "edge" is starting come off. Another reason I never want to even visit the city. SFO was weird enough for me. Give me some Texas Panhandle town with about 5,000 people and a lake and I'd be happy. Meet at 3:30pm every day at the Corner Drug for a cherry coke and catch up on the town gossip. Glen Austin
