DH and I got quite a few chuckles from that Sandra, thanks. Probably would have sounded much funnier if I knew how to say it with the proper Southern accent instead of Strine!!! ;^D
So pleased to hear you and Dave are back home where you belong, and need to be. xoxo

How funny! It's sad that the true regional Southern dialects are declining. I love to listen to the local old-timers … their kids and grandkids don't talk like that anymore.

Penny says
So happy you are home from the hospital!!
Loved the glossary .. I can so relate. lol
Angela and I traveled on a bus tour across the Smokey Mts. several years ago. We were talking amongst our selves and noticed 2 couples doing a bit of eavesdropping. They finally asked us what part of the South we were from .. Alabama or Georgia?? They were a bit shocked when we answered Southern Indiana. LOL

I love your Southern Medical Dictionary. I had to really listen and think to translate when I moved up north. Now I am an official translater of Southern English when needed. Glad you two are home. Much Love and Prayers coming your way. Thank heavens God understands all dialects.

Good Morning Sweetie…
This is so stinkin cute. I love it. Pelvis really caught me. I am so laughing and smiling this morning. Thank you for the humor, it is to cute for words.
Happy to hear that Dave is out of the hospital though and maybe your family will get back to normal soon. I see a little PT is in store and some home health nurses. Keep us posted. That home cooked food will have him back in the saddle so to speak, in no time at all.
Many hugs sweetie. Prayers for the family. Country hugs, Sherry
