Guest guest Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 And it's not Long Island, it's Lon-gIsland or just " the Island. " : I'm shaking as I'm typing this. # 1; It's Lawn-Guy-Land and please, in the future, try to restrain yourself from ever calling it " the Island " . It's been called a lot of things, but never " the Island " . Blechhhh. Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 Ah, yes, my husband reminded me of that last night, I guess I blocked it out because I hate it so much. We mostly say, " we're going to the east end of the Island " , or " going out East " , which would refer to the Hamptoms, etc. Or I live on the " North Shore of the Island " . There is always some sort of designated area that one is going to before they say " the Island " .
