She wasn't trans,just her way of saying she was a Tom Boy when she was little

 

[Puzzled]

I missed that and that explains why I was puzzled about puzzled post. It was all so puzzling.

This conversation is moving right along

 

[DosArroyos]

I'm pretty sure she dipped and chewed when younger too.

Alrighty then!

A lot of ranch girls did. Not me.

Spelling on Whiskey - I typed Wiskey above

I just have to say that the spelling is still wrong, there is no 'E' in whisky

 

[Puzzled]

Spelling depends on the spirit's country of origin; American-produced varieties such as bourbon, rye, Tennessee, as well as the Irish spirit, utilize the "whiskey" spelling, whereas the spirit from Scotland, Canada, and Japan utilize the "whisky" spelling.

But not even Webster recognized "Wiskey"

 

[Lily Sunflower]

Good ol ranchers - we can spell and call whatever we like. Cuz in the end if it all we are just simple living people with strong spirits!! Blessings Peace and Love - Lily

I tried to look up the history of whisky. It was a little vague as to it origins, and some felt the history was unclear because
of the consumption of the product by the historians.

Back when I got hurt in 1993 Labor and Industries sent me to some sort of a head shrink. After about 3 hours of all sorts of tests he said he was impressed how quickly I solves some problems. But he said I spelled at a 7th grade level. Said that wasn't a problem because they have spell check. At that point I had never sat at a computer. What the heck is spell check? Since then I have stumped spell check on a regular basis. I often have to change my wording because neither spell check or I know the correct spell for the word I want to use.
I owe it all to my Harvard education. But I graduated from Harvard the end of 6th grade. So my spelling education came to a halt.

If I disappear for a while, don't worry. I am going to delete this account and start a new one as Fay Holiday the Wild West Word Slinger.

You are slipping into the world of AKA

 

[Older Whiskey]

Strike that idea. Although my account offers deletion, it won't allow me to do it. I will just keep this poor choice of user name account and be happy about it.

You have given this username character. And most, if not all, have been enjoying this character.

It has been educational. It took a team effort to uncover the first/correct spelling of "Whisky" and its Scottish roots..
And in an effort to expand my knowledge, I was reminded that "Novia Scotia" is Latin for "New Scotland."
And to understand where and how it became "Whiskey" in the United States..

 

[Puzzled]

Did you really think you could just ride off into the sunset, unnoticed.

Alrighty then. I have Scottish roots from Cockburn Scotland where a great X3 grandfather came to the USA to avoid issues with the law for raising illegal fighting cocks. They ended up in Arkansas where some went into moonshining. My name Faye or Fay was derived from one of those Scottish descendants that shot the marshal in Arkansas for strongarming the family women trying to scare them into telling where the still was located.

Those old relatives always carried a Bible, a six gun, and a bottle of whiskey. A lethal combination for any occasion.

Back in Arkansas there was a man called Rooster
The cocky little man stood tall using a booster
He carried a Bible, a six gun, and made whiskey
The rewards were great, but the work was risky

Damn tootin, but first I need a horse and a bottle of whiskey to go with my Bible and six gun.

My Great Great(?) Grandmother came west with a wagon train. On the way west she shot an ill behaved person.

My other Great Grandmother helped some of the Indians that were trying to make their way to Canada.
