	Phooey on you for making me think when my tummy is telling me it is lunch time rather than thinking time... I have to say that of all the places around the US I've lived as well as being surrounded by Americans who hail from all over themselves (one of the glories of being a military "brat" ) ... I do not recall any of my friends (whatever part of the country they came from) calling it anything other than a "bumper sticker." I think this is one that you're fairly safe with.

Thank you Peg. See, that's one of my problems: I feel at home in at least three countries, but in each of them I'm just a country pumpkin.

"Bumpers" are the bits that stick out front and back of a car; "fenders" are on the sides, over the wheel wells.

... and I would never call you a country pumpkin. Or a country bumpkin even.

Thanks MathNut. It's one of my pet mistakes in this language. Sorry.

Ah, you're Cinderella's coach before the wave of the fairy godma's magic wand. Do you turn into a Fiat or Citroen?

Ok I made a blunder. May I now please just lie down and lick my wounds?

**comforts**

I'd thought to tease you also but being the baker type that I am the "country pumpkin" bit brought to mind the recipe I have for marble pumpkin cheesecake.

I may "need" to make one soon.

Soon time for pumpkin soup too. I love making it, and I love eating it. Which gets us back to the topic of the thread.
