I also found this site interesting. I spent some time checking out different states. I wasn't even thinking about it and went into a patient's room and asked if they would like a soda...and when he said yes I asked gingerale or cola. And it hit me...I actually do say soda and, therefore, fit the Virginia norm. I find that to be a hoot. That was fun Lew, thanks. Mum
