OH MY GOD I miss hearing that. I love talking to cousins up there. Since I didnt get to go on vacation there my friend here (from chicago) called me everyday and tried to talk with a MN accent. She was terrible but it was soooo funny.

We had 2 Swedish exchange students living with us and they just laughed because dose people her have a more pronounced Scandanavian accent then the Swedes do. smilesmile

When we visit my daughter, the Floridian just laugh at us, and we aren't anywhere near the Upnorters. grin

Too funny!!

I never really heard people talk like that til I moved up here. I was in line at the grocery store and heard a woman actually say "ya sure", I thought OMG I am in the movie Fargo. Lived in Duluth all my life til "99" and never heard anyone really talk like that.

I had a teacher in high school who was a huge linguistics buff and was intrigued with the northern MN accent especially the different dialect on the North Shore (I grew up in 2 Harbors). He said that it was very Scandinavian. grin I just love it!

He could also tell I had speech therapy because of my "artificial S". He was right. Until 3rd grade, I would say my name was Litha. And I lived in Two Harborth. blushsmile

DeeDee go red! I could use a little of your curls girl. I have to have my straight coarse hair chemically altered to get some curl into it. As far as color goes, when I was younger I had a color of the week! Grew up very blonde, and it all changed when I got to 20. Hair started turning dark yuk! So I bleached it, dyed it, until I abused it so bad it started falling out. That ended that.

Hey Barb I know that feeling. Ive tried most colors but no interest in blonde (sorry Lisa)really like the dark red that kinda looks very purple for the first couple days then turn to a nice red.

As for the accents. I'm sorry but all of ya sound/talk the same way, you cant hide it. You just dont notice it.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
