28926. judithathome - 2/10/2017 6:40:04 PM •the vocal fry....what is this? Is it when Valley Girls sort of fade into a little growl at the ends of sentences? 28927. Ms. No - 2/11/2017 5:03:19 AM Mose! My sister in soundwackiness!
Jude,
Yeah, that's pretty much it. I can handle a little bit, but it gets on my nerves pretty quickly. Not as bad as some other things. I'm also bothered by that weird British accent that sounds like a speech impediment -- the r/w thing. Drives me nuts.
I'm soooooo pissy! 28928. wabbit - 2/11/2017 5:26:40 PM Vocal Fry makes me crazy, I can't listen to anyone who speaks that way, and I believe it's an affectation for most.
I'm also very sound sensitive. In my family it's known that I have "dog hearing" - not so much that I hear high pitched sound, but I hear things that most people don't, things that are quiet or inaudible to others. I hear way more than I want to hear. I can hear conversations two or sometimes three tables away in a restaurant, or in the next room. My doctor hits the tuning fork and gets quite a way down the hall before I can't hear it anymore. It isn't a blessing. I carry wax earplugs with me at all times. 28929. arkymalarky - 2/12/2017 10:03:59 PM I'm inventing a new word. Y'all help me spread it: thwt--to hell with trump. I visited grandkid this weekend, and it was Mahvelous! 28930. Ms. No - 2/14/2017 2:14:51 AM thwt!
Thats the sound you make when you're trying to spit a popcorn kernel shell-casing off your tongue, right?
At least that's how I'm going to say it.
"What's that you say? He's done what? Thwt!" 28931. arkymalarky - 2/14/2017 4:39:41 AM I think it would be a good replacement for the word shit when you can't cuss in public. Like I'm using trumped for everything now, in all possible verb forms. 28932. arkymalarky - 2/14/2017 4:46:13 AM Or it could be like a bronx cheer. 28933. Ms. No - 2/14/2017 8:27:19 PM Happy Anniversary Judith and Keoni! 28934. arkymalarky - 2/14/2017 11:26:10 PM Happy anniversary! Hope y'all have a great one! 28935. judithathome - 2/17/2017 11:58:39 PM Thanks, guys! We had our favorite champagne and grapes and cheeses and assorted other things y'all would love!

OMG!! I have that, TOO! I have been chided SO many times for "over-hearing" shit from way far away.....!!! 28936. judithathome - 2/18/2017 12:00:05 AM Wabbit...you and I should team up and be Private Detectives!!! 28937. Ms. No - 2/19/2017 9:21:41 PM Yeah, I could never do that. I'd be on a stakeout, somebody'd eat a Corn Nut and I'd freak out and kill everyone. 28938. judithathome - 2/19/2017 10:10:12 PM MsNo, you've been to our house...I can hear Harley (the siamese) jump down from the living room window seat when I'm in the den...with the TV on and it set at 31 on the volume.
Keoni can't hear his phone if he's in the den and the phone is in the dining room. (Which, for those of you haven't BEEN here...is the next room.) 28939. Ms. No - 2/19/2017 11:18:54 PM Keoni is so Zen. 28940. judithathome - 2/20/2017 12:03:08 AM You have NO idea....
Well, yes actually, you DO...why, after all, would he even need to KNOW the cat has jumped down from the window seat......HAR! 28941. judithathome - 2/20/2017 12:13:44 AM By the way...Keoni says "Hey!" and that you are lookin' good!
And he, like I, wanna know if you're coming this way any time soon? You know you have a place to stay and a great place to "dine" if you are in the neighborhood! 28942. Ms. No - 2/20/2017 8:39:53 PM Thanks, Keoni!
I have no idea when I'll get out Texas-way again. I really miss seeing you guys, though. This summer is heavy traveling for me to see family. I haven't been out to NC to see my dad in almost 3 years, so I'm going to swing down NC-way after Hoboken in July/Aug. The west-coast fam is meeting in Mazatlan for a big congruence of anniversaries and milestone birthdays in June.
I'll look into doing a multi-leg trip like I did last time I was out and see if I can manage it. 28943. Ms. No - 3/13/2017 2:06:37 AM Went to see Get Out with a friend last night -- excellent little film. Scary as shit, truly horrific, and the constant undercurrent of racial tension is spot-on political commentary. 28944. robertjayb - 3/19/2017 12:39:45 AM Roll Over Beethoven: Chuck Berry is dead at 90. 28945. arkymalarky - 3/23/2017 4:38:57 PM Robert! How is everything? We sure hope if you and your wife come back through you give us a holler and we can have lunch again. That was so much fun!
