Or something close that sounds like someone who knows the language well. And even better, if there's a particular tone to the language when spoken in Haiti. I'll just use that one line, then explain things and move them back to English 101.

I remember wringer washers, doing dishes by hand (still my preferred way), no steam irons, rollers in your hair all night and waiting for it to dry, manual typewriters (ick!)... what am I missing...
please share your pre-electric memories or stories that you've heard from others.]]> Research Help Tue, 18 Nov 2008 20:14:52 GMT http://thewritersblock.forumotion.net/research-help-f5/pre-electricity-t669.htm#8860 http://thewritersblock.forumotion.net/research-help-f5/pre-electricity-t669.htm http://thewritersblock.forumotion.net/research-help-f5/dumbest-question-ever-i-need-help-t971.htm AmandaLyn the mortgages... the ones that sorta helped put the economy in the crapper.... what the heck are the called?

I have a character who needs to be sick with something that is very hard to treat. Maybe some illness that we thought we had beat. The setting is a modern day full-blown depression so medical services are sparse, money is non-existent, supplies are not always readily available. Any suggestions? (I'm not sure if I want it to kill him or not yet, so I'm keeping that option open)]]> Research Help Fri, 31 Oct 2008 14:13:40 GMT http://thewritersblock.forumotion.net/research-help-f5/i-need-a-disease-please-t607.htm#7928 http://thewritersblock.forumotion.net/research-help-f5/i-need-a-disease-please-t607.htm http://thewritersblock.forumotion.net/research-help-f5/explanation-needed-what-is-a-rep-tie-t523.htm dwsintxs I have always understood that a 'rep tie' is a necktie that has certain colored stripes that correspond to certain schools, or school colors...something of that sort. In the story I'm writing, I have a line I'd like to use and I wanted to make sure that I could reference the phrase 'rep tie' but now that I google it, and Wiki it, I find no mention anywhere. I KNOW that I've read it somewhere before...can someone help me out? I know I'm not crazy, and did not make this up!

You can capture the ambiance of even the most far flung and remotest places by reading about them and looking at the millions of photos.
