Holly, on a MySpace survey/bulletin:
___________________
54.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
As happy as I am right now.
___________________
Isn't that sweet? I like that one a lot.
This one, I plan to register a complaint about:
___________________
18.
Do you get along with your parents?
Pretty much.
___________________
"Pretty much"!? Compared to WHAT? I want her to say "Perfectly
well, absolutely, my parents are practically perfect in every way."
And so I agreed with this one:
___________________
30.
Are you annoying?
Oh, yes.
___________________
I'm glad she's not my only child.

LOL. Here in Minesooota "Pretty Much" equals a strong "Absolutely"
If I ask :
" Honey are you happy you married me?"
to this he replies:
"Pretty much"
and I know he loves me a lot<BWG>
It took some time geting used to it since I am a hot blooded Brazilian.
A friend gave the book How to Talk Minnesotan and it helped a lot.

And my Dad, when responding to something like: Do you like such and such...", he'll answer: they're/it's OK.
It's his way of saying yes or they're nice etc. I've asked him so many times to clarify - "so, do you not like them so much or what?" and he answers:" no, they're OK."
Anyway, I know now that it means pretty darn good and that's just his lingo. It's only taken me 36 years to get it. LOL
