Northern-isms and Southern-isms

"You might be a redneck if..."

Now, nearly everyone on the planet is familiar with Jeff Foxworthy's southern-antics. It seems to me that as I visit places and meet people, I find that the USA is one large union of hundreds of little countries each having their own distinct personalities. In the south, everyone smiles and waves their 'hellos' to passers by regardless of whether or now you know the person. A friend from New York asked me about it. While visiting the local gym, she thought every man was hitting on her and every woman was entirely too nosy with their questions. Different strokes for different folks.

I was daydreaming about this the other day.

A pal and I had spent some time chatting about life experiences in our varying cultures and I thought, "HOW MUCH FUN would it be to put it all in a blog!?!" So I asked if she would contribute, seeing as she has lived all over the country and I was born and raised in the south. She said "Yes"! Yay!

Tzav, my friend, I think this will be fun. Not sure if anyone but the two of us will read this, but it will be cool anyway.

Why ladies and gents, I'm so glad you're here readin' this lil ole blog, I hope you enjoy your visitin' and come back and see us again soon ya hear? And don't fret, the background will change at least a dozen times until it's right!
