The worst is when you loan something and they bring it back and say “sorry, it broke.” I wasn’t brought up that way. If I borrow something and I break it, I fix or replace it. It’s to the point that I’d rather just go over and do it so I don’t have to loan stuff out and have it get ruined or not returned....

That's happening a lot more lately. So I set up a hearing test this past week. Yea, I do have a slight loss of hearing but am still within acceptable range. My heaviest "What?" times are when there is a lot of background noise. The part that I am losing now is the high pitched sounds like women's voices. That's what I get for living with three women all those years. And they thought I didn't listen. I didn't, but now, at least I can just say, sorry I have a bit of a hearing loss.
I also have a minor case of Tinnitus from 14 years in the printing business.

The funny thing about living in Baltimore is all of the sudden realizing people have accents when they say specific words. My dad has a very slight one that comes out when he tells you to "go warsh the dishes in the zinc with wooter". Oh, and if you go to Ocean City, you go "down the ocean."
My mom's aunts are even funnier to listen to.I have more of a Harford County drawl for some reason. I can only figure it's because I'm like 10 minutes from Harford County and that's where my mom grew up. Every now and then it gets pointed out to me. When I talk to people from out of state, I have to remind myself that "Maryland" has three syllables, not two.

I never think I have an accent until I talk to one of my friends who isn't from the Boston area.The funny thing about living in Baltimore is all of the sudden realizing people have accents when they say specific words.

Never heard of that one. Do they still make it? Would be interested to try once.

I remember it bein’ larger too. I tried to find a pic with a larger bowl, but, I couldn’t find one.
I had a bowl that I won at our elementary school carnival back in about 1970 that was the size of a mixing bowl that I used...!!!

According to some, it should be pronounced "Mare - I - Land"
I think it should be "Mare-land" but that's me...

Who are those people? Have they never been to a decent crab place?

HeathensNo, probably not.
They probably boil their crabs.
