Watcha eating?

As a Texan, I've always pronounced it ClOrox too. Maybe you are just learning how to pronounce it properly.

I think you are right. Saying ClOrox does sound better than Clorox. Just seems right somehow. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

I was raised and lived for years within an hour of the Outer Banks. The Hatteras and Ocrakoke old timers and some in the 50-60 year old range still speak that way, but it's dying quickly. One salesman at a Ford dealership, called everyone mate, and his accent was thick, he was a Midgette. I had good friends Kenny Smith and Gary Scarborough, they were "high tiders" as well. I was good friends with several of the Danial's boys of Danial's Seafood in my teens. They own about 8-10 restaurants and fishing fleet, in Wanchese. They were high tiders as well, but that is not very prevalent now as 80% of current residents are from somewhere else.

My FIL was raised at the other end of the OBX down towards Wilmington but he has a "normal" NC accent. :laughing: I saw a headline this week that said that Raleigh has lost its accent because of all of the out of state arrivals. I think they meant Yankees.

I saw a story on the new years ago about a Mexican working for a farmer Down East. The farmer did not have kids and my impression was that the Mexican was adopted by the farmer. The Mexican was no longer a Mexican though and he had pretty much became an American with an accent that was completely from Down East. It was funny to listen to the Farmer and his hired help since they spoke with the same accent. Its not often that a first generation looses their accent but this guy surely did.

As people move around more and mass media brings in accents from all over the states, but primarily a Midwestern accent, the local accents are going to go away I am afraid...

Same question. Total or LDL. And if total what was your LDL? May want to clarify with your Dr.

POleece is the proper pronunciation in NC. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

You can hear that pronunciation on Andy Griffith!

In the cafeteria today and Monday they had tacos which are excellent. They only have tacos once a month but they are awesome. I usually eat peanuts and dried fruit at my desk but I treat myself when it is Taco Day! :licking::licking::licking: The price is right too! :thumbsup:

Will do and am looking for that now. I recall the good being up and the bad being down and where I wanted them to be. I am eating near zero saturated fat and would like to say zero but am hedging. Haven't eaten red meat in a year but baked fish several times a week and a half chicken breast every other week.

6dogs, I was just reiterating your question to M. E. Race. I'm betting the Dr. wanted to get his LDL from the normal peoples LDL<100 lowered to the high risk group of LDL<70. I was curious where his Dr. came up with the 85 number. Most Cardiologist really only care about the LDL because the HDL is like a garbage truck and will be higher as it takes out the trash and if there is no trash to take out it will be lower. Higher is usually considered better by some people which is more correct but not entirely correct because of the formula's calculation for total cholesterol. The other number figured in the total cholesterol is the triglycerides which is excess fuel for your body to make cholesterol.

For The total cholesterol add you HDL and LDL and 1/5 of the triglycerides.

My question before had been if the HDL is "good" why is it added to the "bad" cholesterol number instead of subtracted. That's where the garbage truck analogy works and why Dr.s are not too concerned if you have a high total cholesterol# made high by the HDL#.
