It's a verb much used in this part of the country and a few others, and it's an old English word that means to treat roughly, to abuse, to ruin something or someone. "Ain't I mommicked!" you'll hear the old-timers say when they are feeling put upon. "You have pure mommicked that outfit!" a frustrated mother might say to her dirty child.<br /><br />Sheila, I've been to Beaufort SC too and it was very pretty. Today I spent two hours walking around in the old town of Beaufort NC.<br /><br />Emm, thanks for that link. I'd like to see the documentary. Snead's Ferry is about 50 miles down the coast from Morehead City.<br /><br />Starman, :^)Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-26000937914043727362011-03-20T13:29:39.199+01:002011-03-20T13:29:39.199+01:00mom micky d ? as in Macdonalds so guess their na...mom micky d ? as in Macdonalds so guess their name is samemelindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-64426131500204839772011-03-20T02:42:10.551+01:002011-03-20T02:42:10.551+01:00You might be interested in a N.C. documentary abou...You might be interested in a N.C. documentary about how shrimpers are impacted by development, called "Wild Caught." http://www.unheardvoicesproject.org/details.html<br /><br />I'm told that when the people in it first saw the movie they applauded and cheered because someone was telling it from their viewpoint.

We<br />loved taking our dinghy and <br />exploring the creeks and<br />small waterways in that sea<br />of grass. Often saw dolphins<br />too.<br />We also spent time in the SC<br />Beaufort which we were told<br />to call "bewfort."Sheilanoreply@blogger.com
