I fixed the typo in the title. Yeah I *hate* when I make a typo in a title on another vBulletin, you can't fix it and it makes you feel stupid. I wish more mods would go ahead and fix those for people, especially when asked. But apparently most of them don't think its necessary. But I felt your pain.

Hold it a moment... you do want us to edit and fix typo's in thread titles?

Um...if the original poster wants you to. You don't need to worry about it if they don't seem to care. Why, did I refuse to do it once for someone? If I did I'm sorry. Unless it was because the typo was really, really amusing...Or the poster was annoying.

Actually, I was considering an extended trip to the Spam section tonight, gleefully correcting capitalization and turning "peple" into "people".

Oh, AG1: intruguing idea.

So far pretty good, though I've got one little suggestion; in nearly half a century of living here, having traveled to every corner of the state, and been around children of various racial and socio-economic backgrounds, I've never, not once-heard a child in South Carolina refer to his/her female parent as "Mom". Most kids here, regardless of their background, call their female parent "Mama", although some still use "Ma", and a few of the modern smart-alecky kids will call their mother by her actual name out of disrespect, but never "Mom".

Very good story, and I like the setting. I was stationed in Charleston at the Naval station. I know that and the weapons station up the Cooper River are closed down now. We rented a house out in Goose Creek. This story bring back some memories there.

It was a real blow to the whole state when they shut down that Naval Station and the AFB in Charleston. I've been through Goose Creek many times through the "back way" to Charleston(less traffic, more to see than on I-95 & I-26). I knew as soon as I heard Wilt speak in the first-ever episode of Foster's I ever saw that he was either from the New Orleans area, or from the SC Low Country. The accent isn't as strong as someone who's been there all their life(30 years is a long time to be away from home, after all, and the Pacific Northwest is about as different as you can get...well, maybe the upper Midwest is more different, but still), but it's still there. When I saw GWH, though, I immediately recognized the inner city area of Charleston near where I-26 and Highway 17 intersect, right there on the Ashley River, having gotten lost there a few times and passed through it many times on my way to the Historic District or the SC Aquarium. Even some of my fourth and fifth grade students, who have relatives that live there, recognized it and were all-too-happy to share that revelation with me when we returned to class that following Monday, lol! That culture in that area is unique, and difficult to "capture" in writing if you've never been there, so I applaud anyone for even trying. Still, kids anywhere in South Carolina would really look at another kid "funny" if they heard that kid refer to his "Mom", unless they knew he was from up North. If I'd done that as a child, my parents would probably have wondered if someone replaced me with a look-alike kid! We can be a whole different bunch of grapes down here, that's for certain.

I know what you mean about the "mom" part. Louisiana (my father's side roots) they say "mama" as well. Come to think of it - all of the South is that way. I always heard "mama" unless it came out of the mouth of someone not from the region.
