Hi Owd Wullie,

I got you beat by a year - my family has been in Texas since 1845 - back when it was a Republic. To hear our Gov. talk, we may be headed that direction again. :lol:

My grandmother (from Tahoka) called the trunk a "turtle", and she called the tires "casins"

And her sister, my great-aunt, dipped snuff - W.E. Garrett powdered snuff, as I recall. Must have been hard on her health - she only lived to 98. :wink:

Always felt like a newcomer. :lol:

Casin's has been in use by my family as well.

At one time our family owned most of Travis County. They should have kept it. :wink:

As for ol Rick? I figger he's gonna say whatever he can to keep his seat. I heard that Kinky is lining up to run on the Democratic ticket... :shock:

Had a few snuff dippin' elder ladies in my family as well.

Glad to know that I am not crazy, and there are others out there who remember the trunk of a car being called a turtle ... 8)

And a wrench and a spanner are sliiiightly different. They do the same job, but a wrench is more commonly adjustable while a spanner isn't. It varies with who you talk to!

An eraser is called a rubber over here. But you're rubbers are something entirely different :mrgreen:
