Here's to a good lambing season and weight gain!

Awl Ah kin say iz that ah got tha double whammy. Suthern and Texan acksent awl wrapped in uh package uv slow talkin' FUN!

Yup, I can understand you just fine, Bay! And when she says, “slow talkin” she means “slooooow”. She has that slooow Texan drawl.

Don't forget "Bless your heart" - which I understand is southern girl speak for "I don't like you much and hope you burn" but allowable in public conversations. I think it equates to air kisses among the Hollywood crowd.

Actually I’ve always heard “Bless her heart” to mean: “she’s an idiot”.

Bless your heart can actually mean empathy.
It can also mean you are stupid but I'm too polite to tell you so.

But if you say "Bless HER heart" to a friend, you are saying someone else is an idiot right?

You might need to speed it up for some of us Bay, we might fall asleep waiting for the next word!

More aptly, it means "you're not just stupid but such a special kind of stupid that you don't even realize I'm saying you are"

Bless your heart can actually mean empathy.

Actually, yes it can, and I HAVE used it that way.

Howdy y'all! I'm fixin' to get mahself a mahgahrita so Ah kin practice ma Texas talkin'.

Somehow I don't think I have the hang of it yet . . . . I have tried watching Texas Flip and Move, that show about the flippers who buy houses that they move off the property, fix up, and sell to be moved onto another piece of property. I think they are near Dallas. After I watched a marathon of that show, DH asked why I was talking so funny. Bless his heart! LOL

I have also, tried watching Texas Flip and Move, that show about the city folks pretending to be Texans who buy houses that they move off the property, fix up, and sell to be moved onto another piece of property.
mostly...wannabes.

Once the houses are all fixed up, when they go to move them onto their final location again, there will be a lot of damage to the walls, etc. Those little houses will have to be fixed again! I think they are just playing for the cameras. But I do like the sisters and their daddy. Especially when they sneak into his storage barn and liberate some stuff they need for their little buildings. LOL

I'm pretty sure it's much the same as when they move a manufactured home... Same principle anyway... Might be some damage, but it shouldn't be substantial.
