Southerners

[Lilith]

Native poeple in the cities Keeper of Fi mentions actually speak with the Georgian dialect. Tallahassee actually advertised it with giant billboards, "Tallahassee, Florida with a southern accent."

 

[Keeper_of_Fi]

Really? I haven't been there in a few years but I guess you're right, I never noticed much of a difference.

I'm not a native of either place so I know I stood out like a sore thumb lol.

I'm from south Florida originally and my mom is from Jersey but I have lived most of my life in rural areas of North Florida and now in one of the cities you mentioned. I am not sure what the hell I sound like.

We live in central Tennessee near Nashville. I've also lived in northern Alabama but I'm more comfortable here.

How far from the sin city of the south? I live within spittin' distance myself.

Oh, about 35 miles from downtown. So not far at all.

I live a bit further than that but still good to know I have a fellow perv in the neighborhood.

 

[jimmy_love_fl]

well I know there seems to be just as many northerner's and surfers around here as there are southerners, so we are just a big mix.

There are more than a few, based on some of our real-life experiences around here. We just tend to camouflage ourselves a bit more in public.

Thanks for the offer, I'll keep it in mind.

Well I will do some finger exercises to keep em limber. lol

Okay.. let me correct that - a fellow Litster.

Another trip to the chicken coop. You guys do hire good coaches. But it's like putting lipstick on a pig. Even worse, a chicken.

A rainy day in Georgia. Feels like it's raining all over the world.

i can relate. i haven't seen sun in at least 48 hours and now they're saying all this mess is supposed to turn into snow. don't they know it doesn't snow in the south? at least i found a board full of southerners to commiserate with.

** flipping through i didn't realize how many fellow tennesseans were on here, though clearly i'm living in the wrong part of the state

Oddly enough, here in southeastern VA is where I've seen the most snow in one day in my life. The years after we moved here it dumped 23" on us in one night. I was boggled. I've lived in Pennsylvania in the mountains, Washington state, Germany, and other places colder and more prone to precipitation than here, yet never seen more than 8-10" of snow at one time. 23" was positively stunning to me, and made me wonder what sort of wicked hellish place we'd moved to.

It was about three years before I saw snow again, and it was about two inches. A few years after that we had a crazy ice storm that coated everything in a few inches of clear ice. Again, freak-out moment, as weather wasn't supposed to do this. Four years later, six or seven inches of snow a few days prior to Christmas, only to have it melt the same day. We've not seen accumulation since.

Weather is weird here.

Yahoo says an inch of snow tomorrow. We all know what that means. Sheer panic at the grocery stores. Might as well go ahead and cancel school Monday. I love snow. As long as it's three inches or less and gone in three days.

 

[ms_sub_liminal]

snow in the south is completely worthless on the weekends. it only lasts one day anyway so you might as well get out of work or school for it.

you're right though WriterDom. i ran by the grocery store on my way home last night and the milk aisle was almost empty.

 

[sutherngent985]

As you can note from my nick Im from the south, specifically Memphis. Although I now reside in the midwest, I havent lived in TN since 78 and I wish I was now...my parents still live there and arent doing good physically. So a big HOWDY to all the southerners and espcially those from the midsouth.

I went to a girl's basketball game last night. A playoff game. I tell you what, these girls today are athletes. They would probably beat a lot of boy's teams back when I was in school.

Holy fuck, almost all of Alabama will be snowed in.

What's the capital of Alabama?

Around 500 dollars.

 

[gingermango]

We got 8.5" of snow here in the southeast 'burbs of Nashville while they got pretty much nothing. It's melting now - the temp is above freezing again and the sun is out - but it was pretty while it lasted.

 

[WriterDom]

Hear it is snowing like crazy in Atlanta. Just yucky rain here so far.

 

[ms_sub_liminal]

first you don't get any rain and are in a drought and now you're gonna go and call it yucky. shame on you!

you can head over to east tn. i've still got plently of snow around my house and my sled's all dried out now.

 

[Homburg]

It snowed. Weird. It accumulated. Even weirder.

I was out knocking snow off the van this afternoon. The fuck? This is Virginia, coast Virginia, and it's frikken March.
