You know the Grant Wood Gothic house is in Batavia, Iowa about 20 minutes from where I live.

car.eeyore

It is still standing? Very cool
7:23 am
car.eeyore

But now you must go to the PB
7:24 am
Marc Freeman

Yes and it is a great place to go. It is a state tourist attraction. You know the two people in the painting were never at the house and they never met until years later. The woman was his Aunt I think and the man was his dentist.
7:25 am
Marc Freeman

What is the PB?
7:25 am
car.eeyore

the penalty box...you used a word from the grid in the chog.
7:26 am

12:14 pm

I didn't say i pretended to be excited. i said i pretend interest. which means i look at him and say 'neat' and 'uh huh' and 'why's that?', not that I jump up and say "we should go buy it NOW" :D

I don't even know what he's playing... Dragon Age Inquisition, maybe? he's stoked about a new gadget that displays games on a handheld, not a specific game.
12:17 pm
jesdraggon

no, it was actually a whole bunch of handicapping of myself, because the game is not at all set up for that - there were a lot of quests I couldn't take and armor I couldn't use (can't wear leather, you know). Which was fine, because it made it a more interesting challenge.
12:18 pm

anyone ever heard the word gotchkis??????
10:28 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

sounds like jewish soup LOL
10:29 pm
mkg

gotchkis were pants that ladies and girls wore under skirts back in the 1920s. they kept your legs warm. they were wool. or cotton. i just wonder if this was an english word or not. or did my grandmother get it from yiddish or polish.
10:30 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

well, the internet is here to answer all your questions! (i'm not looking it up, though, i'm too lazy)
10:30 pm
mkg

jewish soup? not really. but then i guess i always knew what gotchkis were.......the kis is pronounced like kiss. so maybe i should spell it gotchkiss.........
10:31 pm
torgone

I think it's Polish. They used to talk about wearing gotchies in the winter in Cleveland.
10:31 pm
mkg

nothing comes up on google except some people named hotchkiss.........or some other things.
10:33 pm
mkg

torgone, were they jewish or not? if they were polish but not jewish, then it was indeed a polish word. glad someone else heard of it. i never met anyone else who heard that word. i now wear capris pants from target or walmart under my skirts all winter for warmth.
10:33 pm
mkg

also what came up was hotchkiss pre school in conn. and i know that school well as i grew up in conn.
10:34 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i just checked wikipedia and urbandictionary and they don't have it either
10:34 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

might be a regionalism or even a family word
10:35 pm
mkg

torgone, do tell me if you heard it from jewish people or not. if not, this will mean it was polish. if so it might be yiddish.
10:36 pm
mkg

i also checked some on line dict.that translates into many languages. and they dont have it ...
10:36 pm
mkg

no it wasnt a family thing. all the kids wore gotchkis.
10:36 pm
torgone

It was mostly from Polish extracted folks
10:37 pm
mkg

torgone are you stil here?
10:37 pm

They meant long underwear like thermals
10:39 pm

low protein, or high fiber, or ... ??? (wondering how expensive she is going to be to feed) Lucky cost me easily $100 a month in food.
10:55 pm

we fed him half from an all-vegetable bag and half from either salmon-rice or chicken-sweet potato blends. He needed LOTS of food just to maintain at about 85.
