different survey :o)

I’m kind of curious as to what other people call things…. CoCo’s answers are close to what mine would be since she’s a transplanted Chicagoan 🙂 Except, who the hell calls a shopping cart a basket??? *LOL* 🙂 One good question they could add to the survey is “A one dollar bill” — whenever I asked for “singles” outside of Chicagoland people would look at me like I grew another head! (more!)

There’s also the bag debate… I HATE being asked if I want my purchases in a sack! Once, in Kansas, the gal asked if I wanted my stuff in a sack and I said, “No, but I’ll take a bag if you have it.” She said “Huh??” and I said, “Nevermind. Yes, I’ll take a sack”. In Chicagoland, the only thing that come in sacks are “Sliders”!!! 🙂

*LOL* I didn’t realize my two previous notes don’t include my name 🙂 If you didn’t figure me out, Coco, it’s JennDiva 🙂 🙂 🙂 Miss ya gal!!!!!
