A little holiday cheer for you all.
We went to my niece's high school Christmas concert. Lovely music in a small country school. The band director had to give an introduction but said he had trouble finding something to say. Then he started talking about Burger King and how he likes to eat there before school a few times a week. He told us that morning he was running late with getting things situated for the concert so he went through the drivethru. He placed his order and waited and waited as the lady in front of him seemed to be taking a long time at the window. He said he finally got to window, was late for school and not happy....until....he tried to give them his money and the employee said the lady in front of him paid for his order. He asks what the guy behind him ordered, which was the same exact thing. So the music director paid it forward and paid for the car behind him. That renews my faith that there are still some great people in the world.
That happened to me once at a Dunkin donuts drive-thru. I had let a guy in the line ahead of me, so he paid for my iced coffee. It really made my day!
You guys should take this quiz, it's really neat! I got Madison, Milwaukee, and Grand Rapids, Michigan. Pretty close if you ask me!

That's pretty good. I thought I would confuse it, because where I am now is so different from where I grew up.

Cool story! Thanks for the share. That'll help take the edge off an already hectic mornin'! Love it!

That's pretty cool.
I got Columbus, GA, Chattanooga, TN and Lexington, KY...which is fairly accurate. My family is from middle and eastern TN, so a lot of the phrases it asked about would have come from terms I learned from them growing up. And, now I live in Atlanta, so it nailed it fairly well...

Hah! That wouldn't surprise me!

Happened to my sister once at McDonalds. There ARE good people (even in New York).

Who the heck calls a lightning bug a "peenie wallie?"
That's where my family is from. A few generations ago we were Ohio transplants.

Where did you get?
I had never heard of half of those sayings. I didn't notice a peenie wallie, though. I call it a firefly.

I got Newark/Yonkers/Jersey City. Which makes sense since my family hails from Jersey City.

Apparently calling the night before Halloween "Mischief Night" sealed the deal for the quiz.
