These dresses are too much!

Not all Northern girls are really, really slutty.

That is what I love about Southern Ladys, They Can Call you M F and it is honey comin across their lips!!

While The Earp Side of The Family fought for the Union, they beleived in the Keeping of the Union!

Now on the other side, The Lee Family, Yep, that Lee, and Andrew Johnson, 17 th Pres, from Tenn. after Lincoln, was trying to Preserve the Union of America!

Some of the Original Earps Were large Landowners in Maryland! Southern, but before Cival War. What County is just outside of DC! Cant remeber! That where they owned 6000 acrees!

Da I am poor!

At my Gramma's burial, I was doing just fine until I saw an older gentleman pass the cemetary on his bicycle. He reached up and took his hat off as he passed. I lost it.

So, so sweet.

My mama's name is Dixie Lee. I would say that I was raised by both my mama and Amy Vanderbilt, but Amy Vanderbilt was a Yankee, bless her heart!

Southern men are raised with wonderful manners, and Southern women are gracious enough to respond with joy and their own sense of tastefulness. It's a lovely situation for all involved!

OK but the real tie breaker here is that in the north, we don't use out houses.

If you ever want to feel like a southern belle, take a walk across the Texas A&M campus.

I was down in College Station for a football game and as I walked across campus I was in shock. I have never had so many respectful gestures sent my way in my entire life. Every man down there tipped their hat, or removed it completely. They all acknowledged me and called me ma'am. (And I wasn't old back then, I was only 18).

By the time you are done with your journey you felt like a true southern belle.
That was a few years ago, I hope that hasn't changed. It was what made A&M unique from the other universities here in Texas. And it is something you won't find up north.

I love being from the South, New Orleans, and I love living in a very southern town now Oxford, MS. Everyone is so friendly and so warm. I wouldn't move for anything!

On a side note, the North is fun too, just different.

If Southern men have such great manners, than why do so many of the girls I know from the south say that its hard to get good dates, and that the guys don't do a lot of the classic date stuff we are all famiiar with?

The impression that I get of the South every time I go down to visit is that you get the two ends of the spectrum -- very classy and very trashy. Fortunately here at GC we have mostly the former, and just enough of the latter to make things interesting.

so true as well.......the trailor parks around there are as common as the dairy queen. (not that there's anything wrong with livin in a double wide, but stereotypically speaking....that's where the negative stereotypes of Southerners come from, "well, i tell ya, larry....thit ternader came through herre liiike a train.....just a huffin and puffin and blew my trailer to smithereeeeens....we dun't know whut we're gon do now, but God willin....we'll pull through liiiike we did tha last time a ternader came through these here parts."

but let's focus on the positive!

and yeah, that skirt will def hide someone from an angry daddy with a shot gun....my dad is not the shot-gun type, but my pa-paw sure is!! which brings me to my next point....not only to we have grandma's and grandpa's, we also have granny's and pa-paw's....poppy's and meemaw's.....ma-mae's, big daddy's, and aunt lejean's...yes, i have all of those (well, no poppy's...but my friend did, as well as a "pie" and "baw-paw")....love it!

Yes, but you don't have grits (I've tasted the glue that passes for grits in the North), you don't have iced tea (I've tasted the colored water that passes for tea), and you sure as hell don't have barbecue. You call that living? Shoot, those are the things that make going to an out house worth the trip!
