AGDLynn, what I love about Ya,ll Southern Girls is you can talk dirty and it sounds like honey crossing yo lips!.

That is the new digital me!


This is just me

FarmHouse adores G.R.I.T.S., "cream of wheat" (yankee grits), and anyplace you can get one from the other.

I have a friend here in Maryland who is born and raised in Lancaster, South Carolina. She was telling me once how her family was suspicious of her now-husband when they started dating. She said they were worried about her marrying a Yankee. I noted that her husband is from Annapolis, Maryland, how could they consider him a Yankee?

She looked me right in the eye and said, "Tracy, to my family, someone from North Carolina is a Yankee!"

[AGDLynn]

Well, my hubby is a pseudo Eskimo, i.e., born in Alaska before it became a State. Then he had the audacity to move to Tonnawanda/Buffalo, NY. We met when he lived in Alabama but he will always be a Yankee to me...

But hey, give the guy credit, he pulls for the Braves!

(KR, I got the email from an AGD living in Annapolis, lol.)

Too Cute!!! I sent this to my other southern girls

[ROWDYsister]

I've never considered myself a southern girl (b/c I'm a city girl--Miami!) but when one of my sisters wanted to hook me up with one of her friends (who I ended up dating for awhile) she described me as "a true southern girl." Whereas I was never comfortable with that, this time it was such a great compliment. Southern girls, even though they may be teased sometimes, are such ladies.

PS: Have any of you ever gone on KA's Old South formal? My best sister (what do you call your best friend who is your sister?) went, and I thought it was so cute b/c now she's an official Dixie Darling.

[BearyCuteAPhi]

Most of those are true. I will send it to some southern belles I know.
