I think everyone in my family puts them away. "Hang on while I put away
the groceries." Yep.

Put them up where? Heh.

I put them away, too. Okay, there was the one time with the
pork chops, I didn't put them away. Usually I do.

What a very odd question. 8-) Also odd is that I sometimes says put up,
other times put away; put away most often, I think.

When I sit down to eat I "Put the groceries away".

*Chuckle* i still have a few Navycism's, i stow my groceries in the
appropriate locker of the galley.

Course a friend of my named John tended to get a bit upset when i
referred to going to the. So i reverted to the Naval 'head'.

I got cured of asking directions to the "bathroom" after a few months in
port in Marseilles.

Since you have multiple locations where your groceries go when you get
home, some up, some down, some in, some out, it's only fair to use
"away". :-)

Interesting. Probably from the heat! We put ours away, too.

What I love is people who "pick up the house" when they clean.

It would be scarier to think what they are doing to their house if they
were "putting it away". :-)

routine housekeeping.

The expression that gets me is "sleeping in" versus "sleeping late". I
always sleep late, but I know many people who sleep in.

Tracy - What is the difference between the two for you? I personally
discern none.

Just curious.

For me, sleeping in meant staying home and sleeping in my bed, rather than
sleeping through all the boring teleconferences in my desk chair at the
office. ;-)

Thank God for retirement.

To me, "putting up" food means canning or otherwise preserving it. I put
groceries away.

I put up peaches, tomatoes, jams, jellies, relishes, pickles. I put my
groceries away.

I can not sympathize with your sentiment any more than you know. Been
there, done that.

Still doesn't map to the question. Sleeping in, or sleeping late, did
not matter. I still participated in a *lot* of those calls you find I
think distasteful. I was there also. Earning the paycheck, and actually
adding value to the end customer still mattered to me. even at the end.
If that makes sense. No longer loved the company, but loved the work, if
that makes sense.

I'd never heard the expression until college. I always wondered
"sleeping in what"?
