I've heard like, one person talk like that, but he was like 80 and his accent wasn't that thick. However, I noticed that sometimes I pronounce my A's like how you described. But only sometimes. okaiii, I’ve lived in NH my whole life, and nobody talks like that. I’ve heard like, one person talk like that, but he was like 80 and his accent wasn’t that thick.

]]> Comment on 17th Century New England: Part I by Thomas Laier http://verseau.wordpress.com/2006/09/16/17th-century-new-england-part-i/#comment-1158 Thomas Laier Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:31:47 +0000 http://verseau.wordpress.com/2006/09/16/17th-century-new-england-part-i/#comment-1158 You responded to my message from January of this year. I hate to say that I had almost forgotten about this site. Fortunately I found it again and how ironic it is that you live in Sandwich as the first Europeans in that area are my ancestors. I am descended from the Nye, Freeman, Burgess and Tupper families from Sandwich Mass. I travel to Sandwich whenever I get the chance. I always stop at the Hoxie House. I think that the reproduction leaded windows in the Hoxie House were made from an original window found in a wall in the Benjamin Nye House. I still have family living on the cape, in Sandwich. I believe their last name is Cullity. Where in Sandwich do you live? You responded to my message from January of this year. I hate to say that I had almost forgotten about this site.

I just tried to buy a Mega Bus ticket to NYC and my card was declined repeatedly. I immediately started searching the web to see if this is a problem because my card has less than $200 on it and a $6000 limit. Now I know to be on guard. Thank you. I’m glad you posted this.

I can't even begin to imagine what it sounds like... And I feel you re: emerging from artificially lit buildings into the darkness. At 5pm! Grrr. Grad students do SO much work!
