Thanks to everyone for their explanations about the word "sugar" - really interesting. Especially enjoyed Michael's story.
Here's another question: I've always wondered about all those proverbs, sayings, "incants", superstitions, and even food ("fish muddle"} that were part of every story with the Darling Family. Were any of these really used by the folks living up in the mountains way back when? Or do they only come from the imaginations of the writers? Or maybe a little of both? Either way, I thought they added a lot of humor to those episodes. JOE from G.I. _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
