I'm from NJ and Murray, merry, marry, and Mary are all distinct.
Berry is like merry and bury is like Murray.
I've lived in Philly and then the suburbs for a couple of decades now and have never noticed the berry-bury thing - I'm guessing it's a South Philly thing? So do you eat straw'bury's or do you 'berry' your dead pets?
I hate it. I don't personally want any eye contact, so I don't know how much eye contact is the right amount, and I end up making brief eye contact because I know I should, then looking away because it's uncomfortable and I don't want it to be too much. And I lose my train of thought in the process. It's so much easier to talk to people if I can look in their general direction but not in their eyes.
Yeah I was the family scapegoat. I've been able to forgive (mostly) but can't forget. I try to be there for my parents - visits, checking on them, etc - but I hold them at arm's length emotionally. They want real closeness but I just can't open myself up to that. And I feel guilty about it but then I remind myself that it's their own fault. You reap what you sow!
I like it to look nice and neat. Mess and disorder puts me on edge. I like the bed made with the pillows fluffed and throw pillows placed in a certain way. And I do feel like it's more comfortable to sleep in a bed that has been made, because the pillows are fluffed and all the sheets are smoothed out and evenly distributed between my husband and me. I do just get in bed and turn over, I don't rearrange anything, and instead of a blanket I have my hubby for knee support :)
