Guest guest Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 That is so cute! I wish I knew how to make macros...I was picturing the subquestion " how do you treat other people " as a little guy with daggers coming out of his eyes.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 Dear Steve, I guess I'm an example of sexist language usage in America. I use " guy " indescriminately, as in " you guys, " even if it's a group of " gals. " And no, I do not think of myself as a guy, if I stop to think about it, but I don't usually question my gender. Did something about what I said bother you? Why did you ask the question? Love, Carol > That is so cute! > > I wish I knew how to make macros...

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 Carol, I do that too, I holler up the stairs " OK guys dinner is served " and we have a house full of women! LOL I think of " guys " as similar to " people " . Ok people dinner is served, seems more formal-detached from my connection with the people in my house, " guys " feels sweeter somehow as my thoughts attached to the word are relaxed and comfy.. Now I suppose if I took time to think about it a house full of men that screamed, OK gals, dinner is served could sound different but I sense that it would be in jest and just as sweet, as they are men and gals could be a term of endearment. I could see it. Yep, sounds just as kind. I was raised very much Western European as a youth and then here in California it is another whole other word culture, (no I don't say dudes your dinner is ready) But for me to say gals, I sense I would want a pair of cowboy boots or possibly a mint Julep or even a fan and a magnolia tree.... yeah how is that for finishing a class on non-judgments of culture and diversity? LOL geeze even a word can bring up a movie in my head! I want long hair and a soft lilting voice. And I want to blame everything on the heat. I can see it, who needs PMS when the weather is perfectly reminding one of adjustment? Gals, this weather is vexing me, your dinnuh is ready... I am totally in jest and in story! (what was Steve's story?) Also what is in a mint Julep? April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 Carol I did it because I was wondering if was just a language habit as you suggested or if you might have had a story that you might want to investigate. Hmm. This reminds me to tell people where I'm coming from when I ask leading questions. thanks Steve Re: Emoticon Dear Steve, I guess I'm an example of sexist language usage in America.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 > ... > Also what is in a mint Julep? Hi, April. I found several recipes online, some of them quite entertaining. The best one is probably the one at http://www.thebucknerhome.com/julep/recipe.html This one was pretty good, too: http://www.foodreference.com/html/mintjuletr.html There's a more modern recipe for a Georgia Mint Julep here: http://southernfood.about.com/library/rec03/bl30104i.htm And one for a strawberry mint julep here: http://southernfood.about.com/library/rec99/bl90416f.htm The common elements in all the recipes are sugar (a heaping teaspoon per drink), a small amount of water to dissolve the sugar, alcoholic spirits (bourbon, cognac, brandy, port, or some combination -- about a quarter cup total), fresh mint, and finely shaved ice to fill the glass. Some of the recipes insist that the serving glass be frosted by stirring the ice around the inside. I hope this satisfies your curiosity.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Tom! Those recipes are magnificent! I think I will need to do a taste test! Oh sugar and ice, we are talking " nectar of the Gods " ! I had no idea what a pleasant drink that could be, I could gain an accent quickly for the right to sip one! Thank you! Yes, I had no idea that I was lightly referring to such a grand splendiferous imbibement of gentility and southern charm, I am truly humbled by such a delight! And will set up the snow cone maker and as I do grow fresh mint in my garden I think I will pick up the necessary ingredients tomorrow and partake of the ceremonial embellishments of both strawberry and the classic Julep. To be sure I do have an ancestral sugar bowl, alas it was not from my ancestor, yet it is huge with a large silver top as all great sugar deserves, and I will even find my grand goblet for this enterprise! I think I will also call a celebration for those in my family who truly appreciate any form of liquor and reason to partake! There is always a great reason to have such family members, if not for the occasional burnt turkey, certainly for the new recipe! Thank you!
