How Long Have You Been A TBN Member?

[dmccarty]

Now wait a second here... someone from N Carolina saying someone ELSE talks funny LOLOLOLO:laughing:

Aint that the truth. But I am a transplant Tar Heel. :laughing:

I have lived all over the South, and I have listened too, and spoke with, quite a few accents. I have worked with people from all over the world including people who supposedly speak English, were from England, but it took me a month or so to understand this one guy. But eventually I understood their English. This one guy was from Manchester so JMURRAY01 will understand my problem. :laughing: But I could understand him after a month or so.

I shared an office with a guy from Korea for years. I was one of the few people who could understand the guy. He was/is one of the smartest people I have ever known. He had about six college degrees. If he would take a few more classes he could have a few more degrees. Really smart guy who liked to go to school. Freak! :laughing: Really good guy. His English was not so good but I could understand him and would sometimes "translate" what he said for other people. He told me once that I had a good ear for picking up language.

On one of my first visits to NC I was listening to a guy talk. He was from the Piedmont area of NC, not exactly the middle of nowhere in NC, but I could NOT understand a word that man said.

Later,
Dan

It is a beautiful country. The USS Saratoga steamed up the River Clyde and anchored off Greenock (across from Holy Loch sub base) in 1971. We were there for a week. I saw Loch Ness (didn't see Nessie though) and Edinburgh. Old Edinburgh looks like the setting of a Charles Dickens novel (which it was, in fact).

You do realize Roy, if you wore that hat back then, people would have mistaken you for Nessie

hehe


I do want to visit...hopefully soon. The wife wants to visit England (shes a great fan of Dick Francis books). Ireland is also on the agenda

GRS: Nice to meet you!
I always wondered about those Idaho Atholonians.
Never figured I'd meet someone from there. Your town is always messing up my google searches! lol.
Our town is about 10,000. yours?

This is true, but I had to wear this white hat the Navy issued to me back then...

about 800 here

i also just got the post office phone number from your town yesterday,... i actually started to call it before i realized the problem

Our main town is in the 700 - 800 mark, not sure what the total is if you include the outlying areas.

I tried to run for mayor about 10 years ago...but was told i couldn't run as i didnt live in the town proper...**** i really wanted to be the head Athol in town :laughing:
