Hi everyone been a while since I've been on. I need some help or a favor! My son is a college student and lives in Bowling Green, Ohio. He is in desperate need of a job while in school there to pay rent and such. If anyone around that area has any pull it would be appreciated by us both. Thanks Pappa Bear:fingers-crossed-emo

I have finally gone and done it. Effective today I am retired. I am hoping this is not one of those decisions I'll regret later. After more that 50 years as either a student or teacher, I am now out of school! Graduation was a long time coming! Now I need to start planning some rides(besides M/D)!

Dis works better verbally, but I tink I cn make it work. We midwesterners like to tink we don't got no accent, but sometimes it is so glaringly apparent dat we haf to admit dat okay, maybe we haf a slight accent. Here's da story: I was teaching ESL classes and at the end of the year, I asked my seniors if they had any questions that hadn't been addressed in class. One of my seniors that had taken two of my classes raised his hand and asked me to translate the word "pucher". I asked him if he meant "butcher", but he told me no, he was sure it was "pucher". I had no idea what word he was asking about so I asked him to use it in a sentence. The student obliged by saying "Pucher IDs on!" Oh man! I almost fell down I was laughing so hard! I apologized and explained to the student that I was guilty of speaking Chicagoese and the misunderstanding was my fault. I promised to enunciate more clearly in the future when I instructed the students to "Put your IDs on!" I know it's kinda corny, but all that talk of accents reminded me of the story and I thought I'd share.
