My local watering hole hasn't been ordered to shut their doors, yet. However I was told if it happened they were shuttering and would let the few regulars in speak-easy style and I was told what to do to get in. I'm so happy they are staying open. I was afraid we would lose them. However now I'm feeling a little guilty about my alcohol consumption, nah, I'm chuffed they want me to get my coronavirus there!

One of my favorite regionalisms comes from Appalachia. “I don’t endorse that” becomes “I don’t hold with that.”

I Don’t Cotton To

A listener from Dallas wonders about the origin of “I don’t cotton to,” meaning “I’m not in favor of” or “I don’t get along with.” Though it sounds like a classic Southern phrase, Martha traces it all the way back to England, where the verb to cotton had to do with textile work. Saying “I’m not cotton with” or “I don’t cotton to” means that you don’t get along with something.

As a kid "I don't cotton to that." was what I heard when the grownups were displeased.

Back to reality. I just got in from a milk run. It's out there in limited numbers. Bought 2 instead of the 4 I'm gonna need. People are just not right. Watched a twenty someting punk take TP from an old womans cart.WTF??

This story ended good. Just wanted to vent my rage. Stalked him like the vermin he is. Snatched the TP from his cart, without his seeing, and returned it to the woman. I then escorted her through the checkout and to her car. Had to be sneaky. I might get infected by introducing my foot to the rectum.
