6. You know that going "barefootin" is one of the great joys of life.

I have no idea what that means, but it doesn't sound like it is DIS boards appropriate to me.

(No shoes in the summer.)
unless you going swimming at the rock quarry.
The rocks do get a little sharp.

I find the South very intimidating. It has always struck me as a place of intolerance, fear, anti-intellectualism and conformity. Of course, the only place I have been in the South is rural Alabama. I bet if I spent more time in the South I might have a better impression of the region.

As a damn Yankee, I found the south to be a very interesting place to live. Granted 32 years was living in Northern Virginia, which is in itself a separate state, but that was the first time I ever heard ma'am or sir. Moving further south to Georgia was a culture shock, you have to live there to get it, but suffice it to say, the War of Northern Aggression is still alive and well in many areas. I have visited Alabama and Mississippi a few times, the people have always been very nice.

Now that I am back to being a Yankee, everyone thinks I am from the south because I talk funny, and say things like y'all. And I eat grits and like them. I do pass on Okra, yuk.

Well except for the specific geographic locations listed that list could be applicable to where I live. I was reminded once again of my Texas roots at lunch when I put the multi word phrase s** of a b**** into one word that sounded something like sumb****. I am constantly remided that I am from the redneck side of the tracks. However as my lunch companion (who was a black female from the same background) reminded me, you are what you are and the last people you want to pretend around are your closest friends at work so she said she was going to be who she was and I should be who I am.

I knew there was a reason we got along so well.

By the way luch was great shrimp ettoufe, red beans and rice, turnip greens, and okra and tomatos, with jalapeno cornbread and sweet tea.
