It depends on where you are, i.e. rural, suburbs, city, mountains, beach, etc. The Yankees have mixed things up a little in some areas.<br /><br />Even though I hear the southern accent all the time, it is still like music. I don't know what I use to sound like, but much of whatever it was is gone. I worked many years with New Yorkers and Jersey folks and they ruined it for me. :)<br /><br />Welcome back! I'll be waiting to hear more stories.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180243708565855383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430245182138060252.post-69599341234253651302009-10-13T20:06:58.226-07:002009-10-13T20:06:58.226-07:00As for #4 and the slow joke-getters--my dear frien...As for #4 and the slow joke-getters--my dear friend Fain says that we all talk too fast and she can't understand us. So, they are just trying to understand you at their own pace, which is a LOT slower than you and I. Cities make us move, talk, think, and act a lot faster than we should I guess.

The roads, the honor system, the many varieties of pork, the (sorry, Tennesseans) slow people...sounds like Tennessee to me! Or maybe that's just the South.<br />I do not want to step on anybody's toes, but the very first time I went to (an anonymous) northern state, I was absolutely APPALLED that people didn't chit-chat in line at the grocery store, that people didn't pull over to the side of the road for a funeral procession, and that nobody waved when going down the street in a residential neighborhood - all everyday Southern niceties.<br />Here in Pleasant View, even the hardware store is on the honor system. Of course, it's closed on Sunday, but if you need something that Van keeps stored outside, just get it and come in Monday to pay for it. If it's sold by weight, just use your best guess.<br />"I declare" and "I do declare" were the words that prefaced almost every one of my Grandmother's sentences.<br />TV Boo and Married Boo did a fabulous job for you while you were gone.
