I'm going to start saying "I identify as Chinese", because I love Chinese silk.
In truth, in about 6 hours I will be identifying as vacationing because I have 6 days off.

Edited to add: I just banned some bozo who gave his tribal affliation as "satalite". ROFL!!

I've been on vacation since 2011 !

All this talk about vacation is making me impatient for my vacation during the first week of July.

For now I'm just going to identify myself as cheeseburger.

Goetsaap (pronounced like goat-sup) is Shoshone. Meaning gravy. Bo-gomb goetsaap would be berry gravy, and I forget the word for chokecherry right now. DOENRAMBEE goetsaap! Had to think LOL

The Shoshone language is related to a bunch, even in Texas and California, and there are Panamint Shoshone around Death Valley, even.

Now I'm trying to think of how to say chocolate, something like doogandee, for the doogandee goetsaap listed above. :)

Shoshone word of the day: dook hoo NOOK win DOINK My favorite word to say...HOT DOG

Thanks @wyo_rose! I figured it was either Shoshone or Arapaho. I've always loved/been fascinated by different languages.

Hi @Spiritflight! Yeah, I thought so too. If I hadn't seen it here on pws.com I would've guessed Dutch or maybe Flemish. I woulda thought goet = good, and saap = soup. Ya learn something new every day.

+++++++

@Spiritflight - I'm not ignoring your message, I've just been away for a few weeks. I'll respond soon.

I even sit next to an old white guy who doesnt show the slightest annoyance when I speak Mexican half the time, we talk about our kids.

The other day a different old white customer asked me what tribe i am and wanted to see my card LMAO

It seems they've cleaned up their act. Back in the 1990s, ya couldn't turn around without another racist incident at Denny's - refusing to serve Black secret service agents; freaking out because some *gasp* Japanese students came in, etc.. After they had to pay something like $50,000,000 in a class action suit they've taken steps to be more "diverse."

The last time I ate at Denny's some guy accosted me in the parking lot, said he'd give me $10 to take him to the east side so he could find him some hookers and blow (cocaine)!

I told him: No, thank you. Not today!

I don't know if I've told this story before. But it's funny enough (imo) that it bears repeating!

Okay. So there's this Hispanic woman I work with. She's, I guess, third generation. Her grandparents spoke only Spanish. Her parents are fully bilingual. She kinda speaks/understands Spanish.

She'd never been to a Tejano bar before. So one weekend she and some other Hispanic friends went to one here in town. Afterwards, her friends asked her what she thought and if she enjoyed it. She said yes, she really had a good time and the music was fun to dance to. But she didn't understand why all the songs were about enchiladas.

Her friends were confused and then figured out that whenever she heard "encantada" she thought she heard "enchilada!"

My next vacation is in August. Gonna go visit my Dad in Sarasota.

I would have thought goet for dutch = goat and saap for dutch = juice

Concerning vacation, haven't had any since 15 years. So, I surf the internet and pretend I am having a good time which I am actually having.

Happy Juneteenth Weekend everyone!

[wardancer]

That's big doings in Tx ! I used to love to go BBQ hoppin' on Juneteenth !

I see it's been a while since anybody has been here. So, I brought cake. Red white, and blue in honor of the 4th.

Hey, @RDNKJ, when you go to visit your dad, don't stop in Ga. for the night. The legislature added a "transportation fee" of $5 to every motel room per night, in the state. They added it to a bill-hidden of course-on the last day of the session, and then bailed for summer. The hotel/motel association is outraged, but can't do anything about it, until the state reconvenes.

That cake looks good!

I saw a Public Transit Assistance Tax on my car rental bill and was like $2 per day. I don't mind it that much since I use public transit to get to and from work via regional rail. I'll have to see if it was on one of my hotel bills.

Because the hotels use different software, they had to give a name to the tax, so it's called different names by each property. Ours is the Georgia State Hotel Motel Fee. It's an even $5, whatever it's called.
