South vs. North?

The only place that I would live in Dallas would be Highland or University Park. I pretty much despise the Dallas suburbs.....and wouldn't consider them Southern in any way, shape, or form.

Thanks, honeychile. I was eating lunch with my children in Texas when this loud, obnoxious woman came in and loudly told her friend "I just saw a minivan with a Confederate flag sticker and a Yale sticker - isn't that an oxymoron?"
It was my car. Only the fact that I had 4 children with me, including one infant and one toddler, kept me from going over and explaining that, no, there is nothing oxymoronic about it - it is entirely possible to be 1.) southern and 2.) well-educated. Jeez.

OH - and I'm working on my DRT!!!

Good luck on the DRT research! Sadly, my Texas ancestors are too new to even try. I'm FFV, though, and plan to attend the Jamestown activities.

Some people just can't think properly, as it would take them out of their hate-filled comfort zones. More's the pity, as it just perpetuates old myths. What gets to me are the people who move South, raise daughters and call them GRITS. There's a lot more to being a Southerner than geography!

Aint that Texas?

Texas is a country and they have @ 5-6 parts or States.

Just like North South, East West, they, Texicans are all different!

Amzing though with your window stickers, I am surprised you were not draggged out of food joint and hauled off in chains down the highway by a BIG PICKUM UP TRUCK WITH A WHIP ANTENNA AND RIFLE IN THE WINDOW!

Glad to see and hear from you and Your children!
