Stay safe, ya'll!

[Hekate]

1. Wicked funny! I have to send that to my sister, who lived in MA for 35 years...

...and is now in downstate New York. She is fine with snow -- I'm not going anywhere near it, thank you.

All you Northeasterners stay safe and warm!

[Cha]

2. Thought so too, Hekate.. love how people talk differently all the way across our Country.. including

Hawaii! I traveled through New England States before I left NY.. loved every second it!

Had to get out of cold winters myself.. I have a hearty sis who lives in the Adirondacks.. always having trouble with frozen pipes.. brrrrr!

to our hearty sisters and the hearty souls! Stay Safe and Warm

[sheshe2]

25. Shovel ready here, Hekate.

Ouch. My back is already hurting.

[sheshe2]

3. Tobin Bridge

and I do not say CAH and never have.

Love ya Cha~ Snows late here yet it is coming!

[Cha]

5. mahalo, she.. I knew someone would fill me in.. I shall edit that! We had a customer at a cafe

I worked at on Kauai in the '90s from Maine, who would visit every year.. and we loved to hear him order a Gahden burger and talk about his Cah!

Wicked Cute!

Yeah, that sounds serious! Coming Tuesday.. stay safe and warm while you're having fun she.

[sheshe2]

7. Pak ya Cah~

No one believes I am from MA. Snort!!!!

I park my car~ always have.

Still not doing much. Just flurries all day, yet storms coming and cold cold cold.

[Cha]

11. Yeah, not everyone talks the same.. interesting that! But, you're all

hearty souls!

[longship]

17. Love ya, she! Just make sure you have plenty of booze, or chocolate.

You choose.

Hopefully you will have something to keep you warm in the case that power fails.

Bundle up. And find somebody you love to cuddle with. That would be my advice.

Hope you are well.

[Cha]

28. HOpe you're safe and warm, longship! Is it bad or

going to be in Michigan?(do I have that right?)..

[longship]

57. Things are crisp and clear here in west Michigan.

There's a trace of snow on the ground and the forecast is no snow. So I am a happy camper.

Love ya, Cha

[Cha]

58. Ah ha... Good on ya!

Love you, longship

[sheshe2]

60. So far the power has stayed on longship~

Still snowing hard and wind picking up again. Yikes! 30 plus inches of snow. My dear sweet downstairs neighbor not only shoveled me out, he cleaned off my car as well. I think I owe that man a case of beer.

I chose booze~ Lol.

[longship]

61. Skäl, my friend.

(Mine is a martini.)

[sheshe2]

63. Having one now~

Lol~



Love ya!

[freshwest]

9. You could start saying 'CAH', you know. Just to make me happy!!!

[sheshe2]

14. Nope!!!!

Not happening

[sheshe2]

4. Kicking for BOSTON~

Stay safe and warm.

[Cha]

6. Mahalo she! Thank you so much

for coming to the rescue! I hate to see things slip.. just because so many people aren't interested!

Stay Safe

[freshwest]

10. Nooo... Because so many people are asleep... Or should be!

[Cha]

13. Snow day tomorrow.. party all night long!

Park Ya Cah!

[freshwest]

8. Love the accent on the sign! LOL!!

[Cha]

15. Wicked Cute, eh, freshwest..

Mahalo for answering my SOS!

[sheshe2]

12. Stay safe Massachusetts!!!

Shovel carefully, take your time. Do not do it all at once. Take a break and laugh and throw a snowball.

[Cha]

16. Sage advice, she.. "Shovel carefully.. take your time. Do not do it all at once." I wrecked my

left wrist for a long time from shoveling snow the wrong way when I was back in New York.

It finally got okay.. Thank Goodness!



to Hearty Souls~

[Cha]

18. Kick for Storm Warnings!

[cwydro]

23. Is that Hannity driving that car?

Gah. You hit the nail on the head with these idiots.

[Cha]

29. Horsey did an excellent impression of climate change deniers!

[Cha]

27. Kick for the local Mass lexicon for Travel Ban!

[Cha]

30. Travel Bans.. Mass style!

[Cha]

31. Kickster!

[treestar]

32. lol

Hope everyone stays safe!

[Cha]

33. Yes, treestar! I just read that NYC was being spared the worst of it.. so that's good. Now

where is it going? They're saying it was overhyped.. but, safe than sorry. And, nothing's perfect.. especially not weather forecasting.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014998784

[treestar]

34. True

Definitely overhyped for Delaware! Zip fell overnight when it was predicted to be 3-5 inches! Hoping so for further north, too!

[Cha]

35. Good for Delaware.. much better to err on the side of caution than to think it's not going

to be all that and get a Sandy!

[Cha]

36. P.S. For instance when they predicted possible hurricanes for our Island and we all went out

and bought stuff.. I was so glad when the hurricanes didn't hit.. I didn't mind all the extra non perishable food I had purchased!

[treestar]

59. Yep!

It doesn't hurt to be prepared for the next one a little more in advance!

[Cha]

64. Love your

sig line, treestar.. I almost posted that pic for an OP in the BOG at one point in history.. oh, yeah.. the Midterms..

[treestar]

67. It cracks me up

the photo they chose is perfect.

[Cha]

68. I know, huh! me too.. and yes the

pic is Perfect! Nice to see it perpetuated by you!

[MannyGoldstein]

37. Pissah! nt

[PotatoChip]

38. Should be 'Pahk Yah Cah'... Lol!- Still cute though, Cha.

Despite having lived in the Northeast for over 35 years, I'm not originally from here. I remember not understanding half of what people said for the first couple of years.

Weirdly, there is only about 2 inches of snow where I am. I hear that Boston and other coastal areas got walloped, but up here in inland Maine, it's mostly just 'wicked' bad wind so far. I'm shocked that there is still electricity and internet! Both of those things often go out for much less than this. Or even for no apparent reason at all!

It's snowing hard now, and we are are under a warning until tomorrow morning, so there may be much more to come. We shall see... More snow is very much needed. Only have about a foot of snow-pack so far, and the skiing/snowmobile industries are suffering for it.

Last year at this time, I couldn't see out my windows.

[Cha]

39. I know.. I remember seeing pics of back Northeast and talking to my sister in the Adirondacks

about how bad it was last year, PotatoChip!

I was the same way when I came to Hawaii.. not being able to understand what the Locals were saying for awhile.. but, the longer you hear something the easier it gets. Interesting how many dialects there are around the country .. and it's all English.. or variations thereof.. slang and all.

Glad you still have the internet.. I don't like it when that goes out. lol And, I hope it does snow enough so people can play and the snow industry can be put to work!

Pahk yah cah! Stay Safe and Warm ya Hearties!

[PotatoChip]

43. Thanks!

And we'll stay warm, electricity or no. I don't have to go anywhere... Yay!!! And it's nice and cozy in here w/the woodstove cranking.

Still, I'd love to be where you are right now! The thought of warm, gorgeous Hawaii is something I can only dream about... Sigh.

Off I go to bake cookies, now... Have a great day!

[Cha]

45. A pic for you from Kauai then, PotatoChip~Aloha~

Cookies.. Yummm you have a great day!

[Jefferson23]

40. lol, good one. It's still snowing here in Ct with few power outages, from reports.

Blizzard warning lifted but no Metro North service nor postal service delivery today...travel bans still
in effect. The snow totals are not significant here, either...at least not so far.

It's a stay home day.

[Cha]

41. Have a cozy stay at home day, Jefferson! Mahalo for the report from Connecticut.. my niece lives in

Fairview and works in Manhattan.

[Jefferson23]

44. Thanks, she'll be enjoying a day off too...the upside of winter.

[Cha]

47. LOL.. "the upside of winter"..

[madokie]

42. Had a friend from boston

you don't think we didn't have a time understanding what either of us was saying, me with a deep southern accent, drawl, and him with his boston whatever they call it LOL+

we survived though. we both got home from 'nam mostly in one piece

[Cha]

46. I bet you did, madokie! When we first start hearing others talk from way

different parts of the country.. it sounds so foreign even though it's suppose to be English. lol

I had that experience when I came to Hawaii talking to Locals.. I kept saying "what?" "What was that?" "Can you say that again.. slower this time?".. LOL

Glad you both made it home in one piece.. mostly.

[madokie]

48. thank you

In boot camp in the evenings I got to thinking that I must be someone special, real smart of something cause the whole company would be gathered around my bunk. Come to find out they were there more to listen to my accent than they were the words I was saying LOL

Those were the days

[Cha]

49. lOL. I'm that way about

Scottish accents. REally.. those were the daze.

[madokie]

54. Speaking of days

I hope you have a great one

[Cha]

56. Yes, Mahalo.. G'day to you and yours, madokie~

[benz380]

50. I like this one, but it's fake.

[merrily]

51. Don't mattah. It's still pissah.

[blm]

52. heheh…stay safe my friends

.

[ManiacJoe]

62. Well done!

That phrasing works all the way into Maine.

[Cha]

66. Good point, ManiacJOe!

[KMOD]

65. stay warm

Giving some love to the Lawn Guylanders as well.
