Good morning!

β€’51 Replies

Just out of curiosity, where is everyone from? I love reading all your posts and I can tell by the way some of you write that you're from another country than mine, and then I try to imagine you with an exciting accent. ;)

I'm from Toledo, Ohio ( yuck) :)

i actually love the american accent. My oldest son has lived in the USA for the past 13 years. he hasn't picked up the accent but has picked up the language :)

β€’ in reply toglolin

Really?? Our accents are so bland... Unless you're talking about southern accents, they're a bit more drawn out and dramatic.

I am wondering if he will pick up a southern one, He was in East Providence but him and his wife moved down to Alabama a little over a year ago ..He can keep on moving..then i get to see different parts of the USA :) :) ....I just wish it wasnt such a long flight....but being smoke free now...is going to make the next trip better :) :)

β€’ in reply toglolin

He might pick up that accent, its pretty strong!!

I love traveling too.

I was planning on another trip over later this year or early next year....But they are coming down to Aussie later in the year...I will keep on saving my "not smoking money" and plan a trip to the UK and Europe next year :) :) ...You guys dont pay anywhere near what we pay for smokes both hear and the UK...since quitting 18 months go, i have saved over 12,000 dollars.....I dont know how i afforded to smoke,,,

Wish i tried to quit years ago, this is my first attempt as i doubted if i could do it...:D :D

β€’ in reply toglolin

Here it's about $6.00 a pack (Marlboros)

I had a great time spending all the extra cash on my daughter and family for Christmas this year!!

We never really realize how much we were paying to kill ourselves.

So true heather, I had a great holiday in Vietnam last year with my savings and have restarted again coz next year my friend is 50 and wants to go away 😊😊

β€’ in reply todroopyJ

Perfect plan!!!

I can't believe it took me this long to quit and see the health benefits as well as the monetary ones.

I think I'll start a vacation fund for my daughter and I. :)

Hi heather I have a London accent as I was bought up in Paddington 😊 That mister monky is practically a country bumpkin by comparison 😊😊😊

I love the New Zealand accent as it's quite singsong 😊😊

Love the Deep South accent but not too keen on the NYC one, sounds a bit abrasive.... Am gonna try and listen to some Toledo now 😊😊😊

By the way am loving that quit you got going on 😊😊

Still no improvement in his feet though but I am ever hopeful 😊 No stil waiting to get him moved but has a bed sore so they won't move him until that's gone..... If it's not one thing it's anotherπŸ˜•

New York and new Jersey accents are the worst! Ha! I have friends there and it makes me giggle every time they call me. Their accents are definitely abrasive, but I'd like to think it's not their fault. They're both tough cities to live in. Haha

You could be right heather although I have no first hand experience of the accents except from tv.... 😱 Maybe I should fly over and check it out 😊😊😊😊😊
