You know your in the south when your local 11:00 news starts out with this shocking headline: "Channel 36 was first on the scene at Waffle House…"

Yes, whenever a "hot story" takes place in a Waffle House, you know you're in Kentucky. Also, whenever the top story is a "local peasant" being bitten by a snake, it's either a ridiculously slow news day, or also, in Kentucky. Especially when they interview Leonard Fitch's cat, Sparky, who also was bitten.

While it may be an immediate signal that you are in Kentucky, or south Georgia for that matter, you would be truly suprised of the drama that can arise at a Waffle House. As what I would call somewhat of a Waffle House Addict, I have seen things that would blow your mind.
Men arguing over who's dog has more teeth (they both had 3 teeth among them including the 2 dogs) to the drama of friendly waitresses fighting in the back (true story very funny).

So the moral of the story is; yes, it may be a slow day in the news, but the drama of the Waffle is always there.

Spelling Tip of the Day

By Stephanie -
I have always had a hard time spelling the word "hors d'oeuvres," for the times I've sent out party invites. And it's a pain in the tush to try and find it on M-W.com. So here's a good way to remember how to spell it:

HORSE (but no"E") + DOE+ UVRAYS (But spelled like it's pronounced by Julie Andrews in the D0-Re-Mi song on the Sound of Music...UV UV+RE...silent H...S)

Then remember there's an apostrophe after "D." Or, if you took French (I did not), apparently "oeuvres" means "works," if you can remember that (I'm not putting money on it, because I just used freetranslation.com). Here's a fun article on food spellings.

Sensitivity Tip of the Day

By -
When a friend, who is visually distraught (cracking voice/moisture under the eyes), it might not always be best to agree with them. Say for example, she just had a bad, um I don't know, eyebrow waxing incident. She might ask some thing like "do I have angry eyes?" This would be a perfect time, even for the super agreeable person, to disagree with their question. If you're up for an extra challenge, just don't lie through your teeth. Come up with something creative and sweet, such as "Could you try to smile for me real quick." (wait for smile) "No, your eyes don't look angry when you're smiling."
