East Vs. West

Warning: Potty Mouth Language

This morning I called a business back East and their computer operator was recorded by a woman with a very heavy accent. To me, it sounded like she said: “If you know your potty’s extension, you can dial it now.”

I imagined an Easterner and Westerner discussing Friday night plans…

Easterner: Are you going to the potty?

Westerner: Huh?

Easterner: The potty. Are you going?

Westerner: Well, no.

Easterner: Ah come on. It’ll be fun.

Westerner: But I don’t really need to go.

Easterner: How could you miss it! It’ll be great.

Westerner: But, I don’t need to use the phone. (At my office, 2 of 3 stalls are filled with cell phone users.)

    ROFL!

    I can't even say anything. I'm ashamed to say I had a hideous accent like that before my high school theatre teacher decided I could never perform. I'd ruin whatever monologue I attempted. My freshman final, a monologue from Mary Queen of Scots, was hideous.

    "Da devil has no children. You have none, could have none, wood have none pahaps."

    Ha, ha. Yea. I know all about the potty.

    LOL!

    I had an experience with some Boston people like that. My boss at the time was trying to give me directions to a hotel called the Lord Wakefield. I kept hearing "laud". I'm thinking, laud??? What the heck is a laud? LOL!

Adobe Design to Print | Episode 3 | Creating our first product

One of the advantages that Zazzle designers have using Adobe Design to Print is that if we use licensed images from a site like Creative Fabrica (example is an affiliate link to one buffalo plaid pattern ), this plugin will help us streamline combining patterns, elements and graphics to create something totally new, and then publish the combined design as one image to Zazzle.

My Auxilliary Brain?

Apparently Googlie is my auxilliary brain, or so says this post . Actually, I don't agree. Not at all! As you'll note, I typed Googlie instead of Google. This has nothing to do with my inability to spell. It's my inability to type that caused that. And I think that is why when I actually typed http://www.googlie.com in a browser window I pulled up... can you guess? Did you try it? Yes, Google has purchased that domain name and is forwarding traffic to their main website. I think that is a sign they know that people can't type. Most of my spelling errors are typing related. There just aren't any new words that I can't spell. The words I make mistakes on now are the same ones I made mistakes on three decades ago in grade school. My grade school education is like the hardware in my spelling programs in my brain. I've gone through and tried to change the software and most days I can override the hardware. But, on days that I'm tired or stressed or typing po
