Besides my love for writing and doing all things witchy on WDC, I have some other "jobs" I do out there in real life. One being a later at night moderator for a particular podcast show, as well as a Telegram Admin. I guess doing my witchy stuff is popular in various forums.  But of course, my prime second home, after Florida, is WDC.
It started a while back when I was just listening to my favorite show and chatting away until I was sleepy enough to call it a night. I usually do all my WDC stuff earlier, in the afternoon and evening. I actually make time to get chores done and do duel duties bouncing back and forth and having the best of both worlds. Well as simple as it sounds while up North, it isn't as easy down South. In Florida, I use the free WI-FI at the clubhouse. Up North, I have my 24-7 internet. It's a give and take, folks. Florida is my outdoor activity place, so I didn't feel the need to purchase internet service when I could use the free one. 
The beauty of being a snowbird is enjoying beautiful New England in spring, summer and the colorful part of fall. When those leaves have reached their peak, I'm so outta there. Not one to watch the trees go bare and get caught in the early snow which so often happens in the hills, it's road trip time!
Being an Admin/Mod, we have been called to a voice chat to be sure we are all on the same page for our host's show. I was greeted when I turned on my mic. And that's when the others couldn't understand the words coming out of my mouth. None of them were from New England, specifically Boston area, thus they had to keep asking what I was saying. I had an interpreter as it would appear, who knew the words I was about to say because we talked about it in Direct Message.
Dialect, folks -- it's all about the dialect. It's a great group of people to work with, and, since most of our communication is done via text, everything that needs to be understood is understood.
If you'd like a little lesson in outside the Boston area speak, just take a look at "Comedy Newsletter (September 4, 2019)" It does a quick run through of words commonly used and very much misunderstood by many. You'll have an idea why using VC is not my best witchy feature. 
Just remember this if you ever visit the area, we go to a likka stoah to buy our beah.
Next month begins my trek back North, to the place where I am understood when I visit my old stomping ground outside of Boston while visiting family for get togethers. Where I currently live is closer to Western Massachusetts. The dialect is more like that of Connecticut and parts of New York. When I moved there, my neighbors didn't understand me either. I guess after 20 years they got used to me. They must have! I see a glint in their eyes when I speak a smile and a nod.
Hmmmm  ... it's always a smile and a nod. Do you think they are pretending to understand the words coming outta my mouth?
That's all she spoke for this edition of the Comedy Newsletter.
See you next month when the travels begin!
Until next time--laugh hard, laugh often!

So funny and so, so true! I laughed out loud, relating to it, although I'd probably slink away like a mouse where the cleaning guy is concerned.
Way to go,  WW!
Yeah, stuff like this seems to follow me where ever I travel. I've gotten pretty bold about handling the situation. 
Thanks for the feedback, Joy!
Some Newsfeed Responses:

No. As a former Wal-Mart employee, I'm the one who knocked on the door to let people know I needed to clean the restrooms. I put the sign telling people the restroom is closed on the door when the restroom is empty, and yet some people don't bother to read it, so I had to place a trash can in front of the door as well to show them that the restroom is closed and they will have to use the other one on the other side of the store.

As a matter of fact, I have. Numerous times. The worst was at a local home & fleet store, I had just begun emptying my bladder when a woman came in to clean. All she said is, "Don't mind me."

Actually I walked in on them because I really had to go and told them if I didn't there would be an accident on their floor... i even cleaned up the sink after wiping it down they had just cleaned to wash my hands. Got offered a job i did such a great job.
Great responses! Thank you so much. 
See you next month, folks!
