Actually, I would say the car needs washed, but the kitchen one doesn't sound right. :blink:

Carla: Could it be the kitchen needs cleaning? Or I must go clean the kitchen? Or the kitchen's a d**n mess and I need to get off my a** and clean it. At least that's what I am saying to myself! :P:P:P

I am going to see my mom, or mama for the weekend, so all of you have a great one!

In New Jersey we never say "go to the beach" or "to the ocean"--we say "down the shore". Like, 'this weekend went down the shore.' :)

IN Central California, everyone says "going to the coast" (and could mean any beach in Central coast of CA) and for some reason it drives me crazy....probably because it's SO over-used in Match.com by Central Californians - "love going to the Coast....holding hands on the beach...." BLEH!!! am so sick of that and could throw up every time..... When I LIVED at the beach, in Monterey, we said we were goign to the beach.

I'd have to agree I couldn't find any fault in Renee Zellweger's English accent.

I actually think there are similarities in English + Southern accents.

Heck, 5 minutes in Lynne's company and I would be drawling like a native!!!!! :lol::lol:

I can't remember my linguisitic studies, OF COURSE (yeah, can't remember conversations I"ve had the same day so how could I?? :blink: ) but....as we know the southern US was settled mainly by WASPS....the accent is a fascinating amalgamation of British/Scottish and you can so easily hear it, just as you can hear so much Irish in New England. As people moved West - the melding of cultures made the accent more flat and indistinct. GFP - Steve- where are you?? I'm sure you know.....

oh dear....the dingos have a friend over, the little Westie from next door....Annie was displaying some inappropriate sexual behavior earlier today :o and I can hear them playing/fighting outside - - better check..... :lol:

Hi TAvi!! Yes, a little white West Highland Terrier......this little stinky menace (well - he's not been grooomed recently but he's not alwasy so stinky) drives me NUTS. has NO manners, no training, runs like the devil to try and get out.....knocks over plants.....but my dogs think he's such good, sporting fun.....um, tell me, is this normal....my Annie girl was, um, REALLY attracted to him and....grabbed him from behind.... :ph34r::lol: I have never seen her do this, ever, but apparently SHE really likes this Westie also!!

Tavi.....come and get the Westie.....he is a little devil and I"ll just tell the owner I don't know anything about it..... :lol: Either my dingos are really smart or this dog is just....so stupid.....

If you meet someone who grew up not so far from here -- maybe even 30-40 miles out -- you will hear ALL kinds of southern "hick" sayings!!! Fix'n is a standard. "I'm fix'n to make dinner" "I'm fix'n to whoop your tail" . . . also, if they're fairly southern, you wouldn't wake up "In the morning." You'd wake up "of a mornin'" So, if you put it together, you would say, "I was fixin' to try to get a hair appointment as soon as I got up of a mornin'"

So just exactly what's wrong with "fixin' to to do something"?

Except that around here, it's "fisin' to"....like prounouncing the entire "x" is too much effort so you just say the "ssss" part of the sound. "I'm fisin' to clean the kitchen."

Another Southerner!!!!! So y'all are fisin' to do somethin? That's great! I told my husband that we were discussing accents, and that I really didn't think I had that much of one, that everyone ELSE sounded northern. The man was busting a gut laughing!

Hey Nikki -- I told my husband about the incident when I was a teenager and the English accent. I did it with the same accent. His eyes got a little more wide and he said, "You're GOOD at that . . . . " :lol::lol::lol: I thought it was pretty funny! Then I went on to say that you could pick up a southern drawl within 5 minutes after being around someone with a southern accent, and the discussion went on about southerners / Englanders and their ability to pick up dialects. I told him about the reference to Bridget Jones' Diary. He said, "Oh, yeah."

Don't know what your standard "goodbye" is in England, but ours is just usually, "see ya"!!!!!! :P

Talk to you soon, my friend!

Hey Lynne,

If you want a really cool twist added to your accent, I'll drop you in Newfoundland for a week! After spending time with my relatives even at something as short as a wedding reception, I start picking up the "Newfie" accent!

Hugs.

In movies New Jerseyians are shown as using the word "joisey" for Jersey and I don't know anyone here in NJ tht speaks that way. And I too would say " I want a large chocolate milkshake" if I were in McDonald's ....so people from Boston order a milkshake in a different way?

I've worked with people from NY who say "laww-ya" for lawyer and "bott-el" for bottle and "soder" for soda.

The idea that English/Scotch settled in south while Irish settled in New England, which makes the difference in accents is fascinating and I can see the melding of the midwest making the flat speech.

I agree I lived in NJ for 20ish years, never once heard anyone call it "joisey" , but the funny thing is whenyou want to order a "pie" in NJ, you dont mean pumpkin! :lol:

Now there's an accent I can't get my tongue round.It's sort of Irish/Americanish???

Unlike anything I've ever heard!!! :blink:

Funny thing is you put us all in a room together we'd probably be saying ''what-pardon-eh,can you talk slower?!!''

I howl every time that commercial comes on TV! My cousins (and I have 102 FIRST cousins!!!) all talk like that. I am quite used to the Newfie accent, but even I can't understand what some of them say!

You know what......people have different patterns to their lives and they change. I used to read much more stuff on this board than I do now, especially when I first went gluten-free. I come on and scan the topics, read what I want and don't get too bent out of shape over any of it anymore. Occasionally there is something I want to reply to, if I feel it would be interesting, otherwise I just read and go. I still am trying to find out what happened to the young man who used to post so frequently and was was past his years in intelligence, I think it was celiac3270. Anyone know?

celiac3270 is still a member and posts every now and then. He is involved with a Celiac teen group at Columbia (I think that is the one). He of course has a very high GPA and is involved in other teen activities. I think he is in charge of the newsletter for the Celiac teen group. In other words, he is extremely busy in such wonderful healthy, giving and intellectual activiites. He is such a wonderful young man and how proud his parents must be.

A Newfie, huh? I'd have to darken my hair! (well, I'd have to put dark over the bleached out part, and HOPE that it covered the gray!) I could be a Newfie . . . from what I understand, Karen, your family is a tad on the wild side? Hmmmmm.........

Gonna tell you now . . . if you guys got in a room with me, you would DEFINITELY not be telling me to talk slower!!!!! Ask Karen!!

METTA!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D I didn't get to talk with you today . . . we were out all day (started early -- actually went to my nephew's flag football game -- not bad, huh?) and then shopped for Mark's birthday. Having some rumblings from the "fam" . . . . . all-inclusive, if you know what I mean. They're all a little shaken up. I have a feeling that my PT called my mother. I have had more offers for rides in the past 24 hours than I've had in the past 6 months. Wish that getting up early(ier?) had made a difference in my insomnia, but I have an appointment to get that taken care of.

You know what the funniest thing is about you saying that I need to talk louder? Prior to being diagnosed with ADHD and being put on Ritalin, I had only one volume -- EXTREMELY LOUD. I had no sense of voice modulation. I was working for a PT company at that time, and a doctor's office was across the hall. They could hear me all the way in the BACK of their office in their STORAGE ROOM!

My friend from Cuba that I told you about, Madeline -- she was a patient there when I first started taking the medication. She walked in and we walked back to a treatment room, and she said in her little cuban accent (although she's been in the states 31 years -- go figure!) "Leeeen, what is wrong? You're not bouncing when you walk?" I just said, "Oh, I didn't notice." Then she said, "Leeeeen, you're not laughing and joking like you usually do." I said , "Oh, well, I haven't gotten wound up yet, I guess." Then she said, "Leeeen, your voice -- it is so QUIET ---- ARE YOU SMOKING DOPE???????!!!!!!!!" Yeah, well that's a great way to keep a job! I said, "No Madeline, but I did find out some interesting information . . . " then went on to tell her. She said, "Well stop taking that Sh**. I want the old Leeen back." When people tell me to please speak up, it just makes me giggle. Beats the heck out of having them tell me to shut up most of my life!!!

Hi Nikki :)

i've only just picked up on this thread. I too catch accents really easily. I grew up 'down south' so my accent ought to be 'Queen's English' but, since living in the midlands, my southern friends have said I've developed a brummie accent. Surely not!! And when posting here, I have to fight the urge to 'say' hey instead of hi!

Vincent; from I understand it, the reason why you'd order "pie" for pizza in NJ is that word pizza in Italian (might) mean "pie" in English. Now this is the reasoning I got from my Italian side of the family.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
