1. If today is Wed, December 3, then how do you refer to Saturday, December 6?
Saturday or this Saturday
We always referred to the following Saturday as "Saturday Week" and I'm guessing that was a Georgia saying.

2. For reference sake, let's say you are currently visiting me in the Mountain Time Zone. It is 9:15 AM. Is California an hour earlier than us, or an hour later than us?
Earlier

3. When you refer to the meal you eat after breakfast do you call it lunch or dinner?
Lunch, but the big meal of the day is dinner which can be at lunch or at supper time

4. When referring to the 3rd meal of the day, do you call it dinner or supper?
Supper.

5. Do you call the long piece of furniture you sit on a couch or a sofa?
Couch or sofa - but the proper term is sofa because it has cushioned seat, back and arms, while couches don't have arms or a back. A Davenport is huge, long, upholstered, has only one long cushion to sit on and refers to a brand name. A Divan is a long cushioned seat with pillow back and no arms.

6. If you have to change your doctor's appointment from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm do you ask the receptionist to move your appointment ahead two hours or back two hours?
Neither. I'd say can I change my appointment to 5pm.

7. If someone asks "do you mind if I sit here?", do you say yes or no?
Usually I say, no, I don't mind.

8. What do you call the road that runs parallel to the freeway?
Frontage road and sometimes feeder or access, depending on the person I'm talking to

9. For the ladies, do you use a: Purse, Handbag, Pocketbook, Wallet, Clutch, Bag, Or?

For me it changes from one to another depending on the bag, but it's usually my purse.

6. If you have to change your doctor's appointment from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm do you ask the receptionist to move your appointment ahead two hours or back two hours?

I'd just ask to change it to 5:00.

7. If someone asks "do you mind if I sit here?", do you say yes or no?

No, not at all.

8. What do you call the road that runs parallel to the freeway?

Access or service road. We don't use the word freeway. We call it an expressway.

9. For the ladies, do you use a: Purse, Handbag, Pocketbook, Wallet, Clutch, Bag, Or?

Purse. I might put a wallet in my purse.

To me a pocketbook is a paperback book, usually a novel.

10. Do you go UPTOWN or DOWNTOWN, when you go into the center of the city?

Downtown

My grandmother used to always say uptown.

10. I grew up in a very small town, 1 sq. mile, pop. about 4500. There I always went uptown. But going into the "big" city was downtown. Where I live now, I just say I'm going into town.

I keep my billfold in my purse.

10. Do you go UPTOWN or DOWNTOWN, when you go into the center of the city?

In the small town I grew up in it was uptown. The town I live in neither - just say I'm going to mail the water bill, to the Post Office, Fareway, HyVee, etc. In Des Moines or Louisville it's downtown.

10. Downtown to me means the center hub of the city or town, and uptown is more like an adjective describing an elite thing.
