We've got an electrician coming in a few minutes to look over our electrical project list. Hopefully he works for $40 an hour or less. Fingers crossed.
We learned a new Rhode Island phrase last night: "not for nuthin." Not for nuthin translates roughly to "not to mention it", eventhough if you are saying not for nuthin, it means you *are* in fact going to mention whatever it is imminently.

He was surely no saint, but it seemed to me like he ended up being a pretty good man by the last stage of his life.

Last night I responded to recent comments. Sorry for the delay, and thanks for your support!

My clients said "not for nothin'" all the time and I had no idea what it meant! Wonder if they say this in Boston?
I have said and heard this phrase on Long Island - it is then followed by a truism you may not want to hear.
Hahaha, C. Too funny. Sandra, let me know if you hear it up there.
