Its funny , I think it is also normal as we as humans want to belong and we do this to fit in. Im sure theres a way better explanation but its all I got.

Im really bad with accents. I can go spend a couple hrs. with the amish and come home and you would never guess I wasnt raised there. LOL I dislike this but seems like theres nothing I can do about it.

Mornings, Havent been able to say that in a while. No rest for the wicked .
Wishing, Wow ! MIL story is the thing books are made of. What a strong woman . I would love to read more .. Say, arent you a writer ?
I went to sleep at 3 and up at 7. 4 whole hrs. its 9 now and no one up at DDs yet so I guess CB is late for school. LOL He really needs to rest any way.
The wind sounds fierce outside . I have to do something for the chickens water. I bet they are starved for water. Their water container is froze solid. This would be the 3rd light bulb so something else is going on. I cant imagine what . I made it , I know its correct. The other one in there is fine . water cant get in. So I dont know what to do.

MIL has quite the life story, but you have to drag it out of her. Most of the memories are of her being angry (ie. the kids and teachers at the school were mean to her because she did not know Mandarin). I think a difficult made for a driven adult.

Water is more crucial than food. They can survive a few days without food, but over 24 hrs without water is risky... organ damage and stuff.

Quote: No, that's exactly what it is. We are hardwired to be social.

That's another example of the same thing. If you watch politicians giving speeches in different parts of the country, they will pick up and use the regional accents. Critics will say they are doing it just for votes, which may be true!, but it's also part of how our brains process social cues. Mirroring (copying the way someone is sitting or standing) is done all without thinking. Shows we like or are sympathetic with that person. Same thing with the accents, except I think we are trying to be liked and fit in by doing that. (I minored in psychology

)

Yes, that was going on for me last night too. Guess they changed it. I don't like change! Guess we have to hit the log in button and pull up a new page every time. I've got to change my bookmark to that page so I don't have to wait for the home page ads to load before I log on and the GF turns them off. Might be better this way!
