Subject: Thanks



Hi. I want to thank everyone who responded to my questions

concerning expressions I remember from growing up in central

West Virginia. I left there when I was a teenager, and have

lived in northern New England for about 30 years. So, I

occasionally find myself (shudder) 'packing' my 'caa' in

the 'dowah yad', going 'overtown' to the store, and commenting

about those 'summah people from away'.

 Anyway, happy Thanksgiving to all.

  Rex

P.S. My grandmother regularly did her housework 'of a morning'.
