:P

I've heard that many people think that Australia and Austria are the same
place, which would certainly lead to that kind of confusion!

they've used that in the Mary Tyler Moore Show, where they had that jackass
Ted Baxter complaining about a report he had to read on something in Austria:
"And look how they spelled Australia!"

Jake eats mice. You might want to keep him.

Jake's eating something, for sure. If he gets much bigger he's going to be
scary. Here's a pic I took last spring when I caught him out on the top of
the
cellar sunning himself.

Oh my, what a gorgeous creature!! Sorry, I *LOVE* snakes, they are so silky
(they are *NOT* slimy, I love petting them) and graceful - attributes they
share with cats.

I do love snakes! I was at an art festival one time and there was a fellow
taking his 8-foot boa constrictor for a sunny Sunday walk in the park. We got to
talking and he asked if I wanted to hold her. Well, I wasn't going to pass that
up! He put the snake around my neck and let me tell you, it was the best neck
massage I'd gotten in a long time! She just moved back and forth and was really
quite friendly, and very therapeutic! He told me that the snake was a way to
measure up a potential girlfriend: if she was cool with the snake, he figured,
she'd be cool for him.

Blessed be,

'soda' - An ingredient for an alcohol cure when I was a kid.

I grew up with 'pop' for any fizzy sweet drink, and 'cordial' for any sweet
drink that had to be diluted down with water.. My step-grandma, who lived
all of twenty miles away from me, used 'mineral' for any fizzy sweet drink,
and 'pop' for any sweet drink that had to be diluted down with water. I
guess I heard 'soda-pop' on American TV shows and deduced what it was from
that.

Ah, the "pop" wars! I used to hear arguments in bars over this. In Western New
York, pop is a fizzy soft drink like Pepsi or 7-Up; soda is plain club soda,
rarely drunk by itself but used as a mixer with booze or to make wine
spritzers. Saying soda for anything else really confuses the hell out of people
here.

We used to say "pop" too, for any bottled carbonated drink. A carbonated cherry
drink bought at the drugstore fountain was a "phosphate." I never hear anybody
use either of those terms any more though.

I think the use of "pop", "soda", and "soft drink" (and "coke" too, in
a generic usage similar to "kleenex" for tissue) are regionalisms for
a usually sweet, fizzy carbonated drink.

I understand that in the South, "Coke" is used for any type of carbonated drink,
including but not limited to Caca-Cola.
