That's right, I said y'all. I am from the South and half of you would snicker if you could hear me talk. Men tell me it's cute to hear a Southern gal talk. I think Paula Dean has a Southern draw, so I can't imagine what you CAL and Northern gals would think.
Living here in the middle of nowhere has it's charms, I must say. People are so kind and caring. Whenever someone needs help, loss of job or home in disaster, people come running to help out. When someone becomes ill or has medical bills they can't pay, somebody is going to get a fundraiser lined up. Churches give money to those in need. I seen churches buy cars and pay off medical debts.
People here claim to be kin to you if your thier 5th cousin. So, it's like one big happy family. I think that is where the South got the bad reputation for marring kin. I only know two first cousins that married and the kids turned out fine. lol
Everybody knows your business. You can't do a thing with out someone knowing 30 mins. later. I got a ticket for not stopping at a stop sign as a teen. My dad knew it before I made it home. My drive home was only 15 mins!
Gossip runs like wildfire here too. I have been pregnant 4 times, married 3 times, I hear. Facts: Married once, never been pregnant.
I would love to be closer to a Target, a mall, and a MAC counter but I love my home. I wouldn't trade it for nothing!
