what's_on_my_mind is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Washroom......GUESS IT IS A CHI-TOWN THING....

I had to go really bad one night in ATL....(FOR THOOSE slow folks...I had to urinate) Sadly...I was riding in my Uncle's van on the dark high way out in College Park Georgia...

While riding, I told my Uncle to pull over to the Walmart coming up...

When I went into the Walmart....I ran over to the sale person and asked....

"Mama...where is your washroom"?

The women looked at me crazy....by this time I was feelin the Micheal Jackson....(if u know what I mean)

While waiting for her direction...she said.."WHAT"

I said WASHROOM???

Are U slow??? she said....

no....I said...while dancing...

well what makes u think Walmart does laundry now...

I was pissed that she thought I was talkin about laundry...when my movement clearly stated I had to go....

Then I thought...well let me try Bathroom....so I asked...

do u have a bathroom...

YES WE DO.....It's over there....


This incident happened when I first went to Atlanta....The culture and language change was shocking...

All my life I was use to key Midwest-Chicago terms...and then I developed into a new climate.....

But then it clearly dawned on me....most people never speak the Chicago city language...I'm still shocked that we sound country to everyone and
that we have accents...

Anyway...what have you all learned about your indiviual climate that u lived in when u went away for school..

All u
