I heard nothing off you in ages:)
Hope you are fine.

Here in the states, many people fish in ponds or lakes. You can walk all the way around. Old saying is that if the wind is from the west - the fish bite best. If from the East, they bite the least. I think it is BS myself. hehe :-)

How have you been? cheers

Hi....

Wind is from the West, fish bite best.
Wind from the East, fish bite least.

hehe cheers

Hello elyse
How are you?
I'm good :D

lol @ Web 2.0's slave.

A farmer often gives relative directions by referring to their land. In the USA, most land outside the coasts is broken into sections. A square mile section contains 640 acres. These are in turn divided into 160 acre quadrants which are in turn divided into 4 x 40 acre blocks. And that is commonly as far as it goes.

So a farmer might say something like: "Well, you go over by the big Oak tree over there in the Southeast 40. About 60 feet past the old broken down Farmall and that's where the well is." Or ... "Well after I mow the Northwest 40 Ima gonna go in town and have a few brewskies and shoot some pool."

@s0x: The reason is simple. That's because I don't like Social Life. It makes my head dizzy. I'm just not into 3D games, after all.

Ooh, I can't believe you've put a 2D flash game is better than Second Life. </3.

Have no idea where that expression came from :-) When you are peachy keen, you are doing/feeling quite well.

When the corn is growing really well or things in general are going well, you say "Corn is Gonna be Knee High by the 4th of July".

:-)

Nothin better to do? Sit on the back porch with a glass of tea or lemonade and listen to the corn grow. Really - you can hear it grow. I am an old country boy - thank God. :-)
If things are going well you say "Corn's growin a foot a day." :-)

Just wanted to let you know that I am "peachy keen" today...:-)

That is impressive - is that your field of employment?
If you are getting a kick out of the sayings, I will send you more occassionally. :-)
cheers bye

Penn State - kewl! What did you study?
When it is raining/wet a funny saying in farm country is "too wet to plow". Another silly one, "too windy to haul rocks" on a windy day. :-)

OK, not in a week, still you are going fast, almost halfway there ^_^

Elyse - here is another saying. When asked a question to which the answer is yes, the farmer will say "The good lord willing and the creek don't rise". :-)

Farmer is a man outstanding in his field.

cheers
