Hey Mac: What is ..."straight shot pert neert"????? I'm an Iowa girl, but apparently in Mt. Pleasant (where the real people lived -- smiling!!!! kidding!!!!) that terminology was not used. 'Pertineer' was part of our vocab. though....... Somehow, I think if I'd known you when you were a kid, I'd probably have tried to reform you... ha..ha..ha.. Keep those stories comin' -- they're great.. While picking blackberries a couple of years ago, I came face to face with a blue racer - in strike position.. I simply said -- "Oh, I'm sorry", and got the "H" outta there... What was I thinking??? I have more stories about being a 'town' girl and goin' to my Aunt Elsie & Uncle Bob Upfield's farm near Weldon for 2 weeks every summer.. Needless to say, I was introduced to things I would rather not have been... I'm out to get my 3 mile walk in... Best Regards, Nancee Only had 9" of snow here in Indiana, and it's beautiful. Envision a 61 year old woman making snow angels in the front yard..

lol I too say pert neert. :-) I don't know if that is the Leonian coming out, or what. :-) I am just a youngin' but...I have a funny story....when I was little, me and the boys (my 5 cousins) spent LOTS of time at Grandma and Grandpa's farm, piddling around in the fields and timbers, and me being the only girl, if nature called, I just did what the boys did and kept on playing (only a "sissy" would walk 60+acres back to the house to do their business....) Anyway, my little brother (being about 18 years younger than me) wasn't old enough to remember the farm. We took him out fishing with us when he was about 10years old, and he..well, nature called. He said he had to go back to the house, and could not believe that you could just....make do. I guess that is the differnce between country and "city" kids. :-) I love listening to my grandpa talk about his younger days, and some of the words he says, I catch myself saying too...like when he talked about one of the baseball boys putting the mustard on the ball... K, I am starting to ramble.. back to Genealogy,. :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert" <iggy29@rnetinc.net> To: <IADECATU-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, December 10, 2005 10:39 AM Subject: [IADECATU] MAC's TERMINOLOGY??? > Hey Mac: What is ..."straight shot pert neert"?????
