The things I notice

Down in Lola, Ky. they say, "Y'all come back now, ya hear!" when you leave the store. And as far as all that other stuff, the answers are yes.

I do know what and how to use a bushhog, as I would clear the fields on farm during the summers we could get down there. And I have spent enough time in the south to pick up the proper pronunciation of "y'all". I have spent more time in Kentucky, Tenn. and Georgia than I have anywhere else since getting married.

Different areas have distinctly different accents and phrases, odd as that may sound.

And, you wouldn't believe the number of people I've convinced that there were little hogs living in the bushes.

It's not a convenience store, it's a curb store.

You don't take someone to the store, you carry them there.

You don't carry a bag, you tote it.

I've never heard a convenience store called a curb store. I've never really heard anyone I know say the other two either. Must be an Alabama thing, lol.

Probably so. I've heard those here, and in Mississippi.

Remember, you never get pictures taken. You get them made.

I love watching a gorgeous man jogging past me...nearly gets me into car accidents all the time.

But I have noticed the disapproval on women's faces when they see me running by like I am showing off or something when I am wearing jogging shorts and a sports bra.

And the men tend to look at me with approval.

Just depends on who the person is...are they secure with themselves or are they jealous of others.

Some thoughts in the topic.

Trust me, I am not all that.

We're a friendly bunch down here.

HA! Tell that to the damn Highway Patrolman who gave me a ticket for riding on the right of way... *grumbles* I don't understand it, some bozo on a bike can ride right in my damn lane and I have to yield for him, no matter what he does (non-signalled turns are my very favorite), but my well-trained and completely in-hand mare can't be thirty frigging feet from the black-top on the right of way.

I'm all for getting out of the South and moving to PA.. at least there the Amish highway rules apply.

That's Florida, though....not true south.

Don't let anyone down here hear you say that... lol

a note to all...

don't wave in east San Diego...just don't, OK...I don't want to have to bail you out or I.D. you at the morgue...

Depends on the part of Florida you're in. In the Panhandle, it's really just Alabama (almost indistinguishable). Along the north line toward Jacksonville, it's as much Georgia as anything else. Once your turn south from Tallahassee, it's mostly Ohio and Pennsylvannia, with a sprinking of Canadians. In the south along the coasts it's an even wilder mix of New York, Central/South America and the Caribbean.

Key West is its own country (the Conch Republic).

And as homogenious as the South seems, accents and idiom REALLY stretch and change. Hillbilly types from Appalachia can't understand a word someone from New Orleans says, (at least when I got to watch) and I've met a few natives from Atlanta who can outspeedtalk a Manhattenite.

I'll remember that. There's a chance I'll be in San Diego this summer for a few days. No reason to ruin my trip by being friendly
