"Hubby" ?

You know, I've heard that term (ball and chain) recently Oakapple;) but, it may well have been in an "old" movie, LOL!! I lived in Alabama for a time, and I did pick up some of their language, still use it today:) I loved it when they would say I had an accent, I felt really special, LOL! Really! Because I love accents, especially British. Oh I wish I wish I could be by Big Ben for the New Years! Every year I watch that as soon as someone gets it posted on Youtube:newyearseve:

That's what my father called my mother! Grimace. Theirs was not a happy marriage. Of course, 8 kids in 10 years time is not a good recipe for harmony either...
 
I often refer to my husband as "hubby" as I don't like the new modern term " Partner" although I do understand why it's used so much
it's fairly common in Australia to hear someone call their Husband "hubby"
 

One time I was in Florida. I saw a string hanging out of the water faucet in the bathroom.... so .. I pulled it... and guess what? It was an antennae of one of those Palmetto Bugs... Thank goodness I was already near the toilet.. lol!

I am told we have Wolf spiders here in Florida, but I have never seen one. Thank heavens.
We do have very big roaches thought that find their way into the house once in awhile.
We call them Palmetto bugs, but they are a roach.

You are lucky. Wolf spiders in CO are one of the many reasons I went running screaming back to NY! I've heard your roaches also fly!!! Why does anyone want to retire to FL? I really don't get why so many NY'ers do. Let's see snow and ice or gators, crocs, huge flying roaches, black widow spiders and hurricanes. OK, Long Island gets hurricanes too so I'll just avoid Long Island.
 
these always show up in the house when it first rains seems like. We call them wolf-spiders this photos was under that so guess they are that. They are sooooo fast:(

Wolf spiders look after their young and carry the spiderlings on their bodies for some time after hatching.

Blaze, our cockroaches also fly. The biggest ones fly QANTAS

Just kidding, but they do fly.
 
I've never seen our roaches fly but it's possible I imagine. They are very fast and a good shot of roach spray does the job. And true, QS, they are drawn to water. Usually seem in bathrooms.

We have a pest service come once a month which pretty much takes care of spiders and ants. Fire ants are a concern and you only need to step on an ant hill once and you won't do it again, ever.

Yes, those were the nasty things. They jump! High. High as your waist! Nasty one that looked like this in my shower once but I actually like when they're in something where (once I scream my way past them to do it) I can turn on the hot tap and scald them down the drain. Usually leave the hot water running for a good 10 minutes or so -- just to be sure. Spiders curl up when the hot water scalds them. Good. Makes them wash down the drain all the easier.

Yeah, I'll stay in NY. At least, ours don't fly.
 
Your'e a brave lot in OZ ! We only get small house spiders here in England and yet they are enough to give some people the screaming ab-dabs.But, no more pics of them already!!!
 
:yes: That's what we call an American cockroach over here.
The German ones are quite little.

The Aussie native cockies are rather cute and have the good manners never to enter the house.
 
Same here AZ Jim I have noticed, when in places where young people are I have never heard any young woman call her husband hubby all I ever hear when they speak to their hubby's is by name or some offensive term.(I have never used offensive language and still sigh when I hear it)
Can anyone tell me why the term Partner came into being.??? Was it because of the acceptance of same sex couples?? Or de facto relationships???
