So I saw you are originally from Long Island... so am I!  And I get SO excited to "meet" other peeps from the island! LOL What part are you from?  I'm from Port Jefferson, but we moved when I was a kid and grew up outside of DC.  I call both my home though because we were always back and forth visiting family. Smile

  • Fun! Not many of us LIers in Texas. :) I'm from Farmingdale. Moved here about 4 years ago (wow. 4 years ago February 1st. Crazy). I had a couple of friends that lived here, and I just wanted to live some place else for awhile. I knew I couldn't afford NYC at the time (uhh, still can't lol) and figured there was no time like the present to move to TX. Little did I know that I'd meet DH, buy a house, get married...the works. :) I just went back for Christmas, and will likely go back in the spring (my sister is having another baby).

    I take it that since you moved when you were young, you don't have any traces of a LawnguyIsland accent? I think mine is pretty much gone, but every once in awhile I slip. Old habits die hard, I guess!

  • I don't have a huge accent, but my parents have thick accents still (and they have been off the island for YEARS now) but I think growing up with them and visiting family I have words that stand out.  People at work catch it all the time! LOL I haven't been up to NY since June of 2006, right after DH proposed.  My parents knew he was going to ask me, and were so certain he would ask me on that trip, in my favorite city... but he asked me in front of the Washington Monument in DC.  Smile  SO happy I have a fellow Lier on the board!  YAY!  Another Nestie mentioned White Castle the other day and I really miss that place for some bellybombers!
