That accent test was very very accurate, I'm not american but I have no accent and that's exactly what I scored.<br /><i>""You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio."</i><br /><br />Funny thing I used to watch a lot of american tv, american music and read a lot of american books. Maybe that's why I have no accent. :PMoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01385067178930906667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-53004220946837411362011-12-03T23:19:07.007-06:002011-12-03T23:19:07.007-06:00Wow, that accent test was ah-cure-it!

If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near... if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard."Penn Tomassettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04426113620189406498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-64216509820788353792011-12-03T23:11:59.287-06:002011-12-03T23:11:59.287-06:00I just found the cat.

It says I have a New Jersey accent even though I've lived in Southern California for almost all my life (except the last five years). <br /><br />Then I started looking for the cat and realized, I have no idea what color cat I'm looking for much less <i>why</i> I'm looking for it. Meanwhile one of my cats is climbing all over me...then I saw it. I guess I only wasted a couple minutes.<br /><br />If you like a good debater and only a good debater, choose Newt.

I knew the cat was somewhere near a metal object, and it turns out I was right. Too bad finding a presidential candidate couldn't be as easy as finding the cat on the pile of refuse. There's gotta be some analogy there for sure. <br /><br />I agree with Paula's political comments. Call me politically cynical (or one who knows something about the hearts of men), but I don't expect my politicians to be theologians, nor my pastors to be experts in the Constitution. Ideally, both would be great, but "ideally" and "realistically" are sadly not in the running. <br /><br />The video recommended by Mrs. DJP was very cool. Being the wife of a Latin teacher, I couldn't help but think by the end how impressed the Romans would have been by such precision and technology. <br /><br />And today I plan to read aloud the top 5 toys article to my kids, to give them some tantalizing ideas for Christmas. Compared to the eye candy they have been exposed to from all the catalogues recently, that article (and the #6 top toy article) will put some things in perspective. Not only that, but we could likely find miniatures of all 5 that will fit in a shoebox--and wouldn't THAT be cool!

I'm firmly in the Great Lakes camp. Thankfully, our children have adopted the proper Midland accent. <br /><br />The Richard Land letter to Newt...it sounds like when a parent demands that a small child "Apologize to your brother, right now!" If Newt does what Land is asking, his apology (or whatever) will be just as sincere. <br /><br />Just as troubling as Newt's past history of infidelity is his insistence that life does not begin at conception. In Newtworld, it doesn't begin until implantation, therefore he supports embryonic stem cell research. <br /><br />That church that banned the interracial marriage? 42 members. And only 15 voted.Evil, wrong, unbiblical, but let's not lose sight of the fact that he media is exploiting this to make Christians look like racist hypocrites. <br /><br />@Christianlady...Rick Perry has a <a href="http://youtu.be/c6tmsxdSUkY" rel="nofollow">has a new ad running in IA</a> about his faith. In a recent faith and family forum in IA he gave an answer I really liked when asked if pastors should talk about politics in the pulpit. He said that if pastors preached about the moral issues our country is dealing with, the politics would take care of themselves (paraphrase). It could have only been improved if he had said "preach the word." <br /><br />Also in that forum Bachmann gave a beautiful testimony of her conversion story. Herman Cain said he was saved at age 10 "when he joined the church." <br /><br />But it's hard to know with these candidates. Bush said all the right things at times and then he'd say something wild that would make him sound like a universalist. I think we need to remember that we're not electing the Pastor-in-Chief. Character is important and faith can be a factor, but it shouldn't necessarily be the #1 qualification.Paula Bolyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05567777774272590296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-66266277879034417492011-12-02T15:40:16.724-06:002011-12-02T15:40:16.724-06:00By the way, I'm from Seatlle, and I've nev...By the way, I'm from Seatlle, and I've never been to Boston, but apparently I have a Boston accent. Is it because I pronounce 'horrible' "Harible", after the style of my New England pastor hero, or is it because I say "Mary, Merry and Marry" with an Irish flair reminiscent of Tommy Makem? <br /><br />Shall we never know? I thought that we didn't have any accent at all.
