I grew up in Massachusetts and upon graduating from college started my first job in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where I often heard the following:
Living room suite........pronounced as "living room sweet" in PA.......suit in MA
Up the creek.....pounced as "up the crick"
Outen the lights........for shutting lights when leaving the room
Positive response especially from females to a statement with......"Ah Ahh"

Retirement has been a discovery of beauty for me. I never had enough time before to truly appreciate the beauty of my grandchild, my wife, the tree outside my very own front door. And, the beauty of time itself.
