Earlier I wrote

[lor]

Earlier I wrote "Gezzz". Now I think I was wrong to do so. Sorry. I don't want to have a thread that hurts or upsets some ppl.

Moderators, Can you just erase it?

[Barque]

I think the correct spelling is GEEZE. I saw that thread and think I posted in it. I don't recall anything that should upset anyone. What did you say?

[joy]

I just now put that word in a post. I hope it wasn't something that I said to anything. I too would not want to hurt any persons feelings. I haven't been feeling to good and I try and limit what I do say and that has sort of become my "spit it out" word.

I was still thinking on it and decided to look it up

Used to express mild surprise, delight, dissatisfaction, or annoyance is the definition I found for its' meaning.

About what I thought it meant when I say it. To me it has a BROAD meaning if it can be delight or dissatisfaction. Huh kinda like wasting your breath but not saying anything.

And that is a whole lot better than what I may be thinking sometimes ar that.

Guys, I titeled a post "Geeese"(sp) then desided since (I guess) there is still contravarsy(sp) about the thing, maybe I should've not maybe started something.

[Barque]

Huh

[houghchrst]

It is Geez and I use it all the time and have yet to have anyone complain. I usually say jeez louise or holy crap which I try to keep down to a bare minimum cause afterwards I think oops, shouldnt prolly of said that.

[joy]

Lor don't worry so much. I hope you take care of yourself right now. We want you back full force giving us plenty of posts and all. You kept us going. So keep it up, we need you.

I was talking about that shooting, I guess some ppl. think one thing & some think another. I don't wanna start some sorta arguement. Like 'he did this & the other guy did that'.

joy, That discription is good. I might say 'Geez, I can't believe someone with your education could do that'. Or 'Geeze, people sure are making a big thing of this young boy in Ca. shot. :It's on TV again!". Or in a good way-- Geeze! she is so beautiful

[joy]

I am of the older generation. For instance, you will never hear me say prolly for probably. It is just in my head, all that correct spelling if I can get it right etc, LOL. Doesn't make it wrong but there it is. I use to work in a college library so had to use good language for the most part. I did get to slip into the Reference department and read the slanf dictionary all I wanted to but like I said, it didn't do me much good. Those professionals would call my hand on spelling.

They showed their limited ignorance in some instances with their spelling abilities. Would NOT take the time to even look it up. Just accuse me. Oh well, the did have some knowledge but not total all around, unlike myself LOL Now i was a whizz kid. tee hee not.

[joy]

Lor can I chabge the subject for a minute? Are you getting to go to therapy still? I hope so as I think that would be the best thing for you all around. make you limber hopefully and all that. I always hated getting stiff muscles and such after falls, accidents. Plus I have seen my dear daughter have seizures and her muscles would pull so tight. No wonder you hurt for a long time afterwards hon.

joy, I don't go to rehab. The other day I went to a chiropractor. Aparently my right side is resesive. She found 'something' wrong in my lower back, A tendon (or whatever) travels down my right side. My right buttock hurts when I sit much, my right thigh hurts,I have trouble walking because of my right knee, both calfs wake me with pain, my right foot is swollen & even 2 of my right toes feel swollen. Also, I wear sompression socks.

About geese, I hardly use it. I use it as an expression of surprise.( Like OH GEEZE I can't believe it) To me it's saying [Oh Gee!]. I'm older too, I never said prolly. I usualy use correct gammer. LOL, I feel like I am apologising to my teacher now. We both know prolly, geeze & some other 'words' are wrong. Please don't make me sit in the corner.

and I thought "prolly" was a Michigan saying! I've noticed both Chris & Jeannie write that all the time.

while we're on the subject of spelling,our local newspaper can't spell worth a hoot & it drives me nuts.

Lor, I'd think physical therapy would be better than a chiropractor,this is just my own 2 cents! hope you get some relief soon.

[joy]

Corner, no way, not to the savy girls that you all are. Can't be put in a corner for sure. It is just that I had that horrible job for 5 years and it took it's tole on me. Nothing more than that. I am just use to saying the old term words cause I am older, LOL.

Oh yes, I had to come back and add, our newspaper is always losing the last part of an article. Makes me crazy cause I want to kow the endings.

Not my business at all either BUT I will say that I think that physical therapy is usually a good choice myself. Especially if they know what they are doing. Just good luck with your aches and pains Lor

Buttons, I live in north west Ohio just over the Mi./Ohio line. I never use "prolly. Now that I think of it, I prolly have used it in a casual situation, such as at the backyard BBQ, I prolly might say "it's so hot out here, Fido will prolly climb the ladder & jump in the pool"'

[Buttons2]

well now that I think about it more,I realize the neighbor's are from MI & I've yet to hear them say prolly. I'm not even sure how it's pronounced.

and Lor,it's wonderful you have your sense of wit back! your writing has improved vastly. so good for you! just wanted you to know we are paying attention & give yourself a gold star for improvement!
