Where are you from, Eowyn? [In reply to] Can't Post
I'm beginning to feel alone calling it the "front room" here in Indy. I must train myself to call it the living room. But this is kind of like saying "ice box" or "refrigerator" , although, of course, there is historical precedence and accuracy to say ice box. We still call it that, though, even though that term was no longer accurate even when I was born, almost 62 years ago.
