Morning Nancy!!

Question?? Some one asked in my TP thread if TBS was only back east. I know when we talk we say out west. Why is east "back" and west "out"???

The term originated in the frontier days to designate where settlers had come "from." Back East was the settled area of the country. Anything west was the frontier.
Traveling west means that you are going somewhere new, somewhere fresh, it means that you are taking a chance, staking it all on a pot shot, looking for adventure. The west is for living wild dreams, the east is for doing what you have to do.

... this was interesting to research!

Thanks Natalka I guess that back would be where they came from and out would be where the went to explore. Funny how things came to be.

Really... shouldn't it be illegal to be up this early on a Sunday morning?

[MercyEhm]

And natalka... that's a very interesting piece of cultural info. It's actually kinda cool to know that

[ccmp1974]

Look just past 7am and I already learned something new today.

[MercyEhm]

It's a neat feeling!

Where did you both go?

[ccmp1974]

I am here now but you are gone!! Did the train arrive yet??

[MercyEhm]

Oh gosh yes. I completely forgot to post it. I saw Patty on Thursday and told her so it slipped my mind after that. LOL I was wondering what the heck I'd ordered that was coming in a FedEx envy hahaha.

I went through it yesterday and I'll mail it out again on Monday. That was a BIG train envy! I can usually squeeze/squish/compress everything into a normal envy but this one I might have to use a yellow envy. Craziness! That or I'll mail it in 2 envies. I know I'm not paying $9 to mail it lol.

[ccmp1974]

I just recycled the same envy and paid under $3 to post.
