The people at the Daily Post group of Word Press are trying to make me feel critical of the way I talk! The prompt for the day that they chose was “Non-Regional Diction“. They also included the following sentence setting our overall direction-“Write about whatever you’d like, but write using regional slang, your dialect, or in your accent.”
Y’all can laugh all you want…
Have used the expression y’all since I was a child. Also measure distances by number of fields away. (You have to ignore the fact that fields are never the same size, but that is how I grew up in southern Illinois). Grew up playing in the creek, but it was a “Mud creek” tributary running through our long pasture.
Last meal of the day was referred to as supper. Mid day meal was lunch. The guys had to have snacks available (cookies, piece of cake, etc.) in the afternoon. You don’t want to be around a male who wants a snack and cannot find one!
Please help fight my disease
The medicine my neurologist has me on for my multiple sclerosis is called Tysabri. Trying to find the actual cost on the internet is impossible. I remember when I first started on it , the amount the facility tried charging me was well over $2500. There was no way my husband and I could afford that every 28 days! Biogen (manufacturing drug company) has been helping us with some of the cost of the drug, but will not continue indefinitely. So I have started a Go Fund Me campaign.

All help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your generosity!
