12. Did I tell you what happened when I was in Ireland?

If I spend any time around my cousins (or just in Ireland for that matter), I start talking like I was born there (spending my summers in youth there didn't hurt this tendency). I was sitting in a pub with my cousin and a few of his mates, and he was talking about his "crazy cousin from NY" and his friends said "when is she arriving?" They were in stitches when he motioned toward me and said "there she is!". One of them asked me, in his best American accent, why I "was tawkin' so funny" and swore he didn't detect any accent at all.

The other thing was when I called to speak to my husband he jokingly said "can you please put my wife on the phone?".

It's not AS bad when I hang out with the English family members and pals, but its still pretty bad.

He's very introverted (until he gets to know you), so it makes it even funnier when this guy with this completely dead-pan delivery says something so clever and so on the mark that I usually end up doubled over holding my stomach because he makes me laugh so hard. He's affectionate and the sweetest guy I've ever known. True blue.

And he has so many talents too...he's an accomplished artists and you know he's a musician. As I am typing this he's in his music room playing guitar. I'm a lucky woman.

I am tuckered today. I think I will put on some cable station or netflix or amazonprime so the returns don't stress me.

See you tomorrow Don't get your pillow too soggy.

This is the problem with the Hillary Camp: projection. Of the two candidates, only one is worth over $100 mil with ties to those implicated in the Panama scandal -- and it sure as heck isn't Sanders. So, again they are using that favorite of Rovian tactics and are attacking Sanders on his strengths.

I would also just like to remind everyone of this speech from 2011 regarding the Panama scandal:

The speaker/writer IMPLIES.

The listener/reader INFERS.

End of today's grammar lesson.

Something productive comes out of that thread after all
