I'm across the bridge from the Catskills. Daytime highs have only been in low 70s for a
s
Hot at Lake George, even hot in the Catskills.

Born in the south, raised in the south, still live here and WHAT?
I do not love fats and butter, never. South Georgia is about as southern as you can get. I do not want to clog my arteries and eat organic as much as I can. You cannot speak for everyone, only yourself.
I live in the south and here a few miles south of Atlanta
it is around 14 this morning. I had to go out but layered clothes, put on socks for a change, headgear and even gloves and have a really good coat with hood but fur on the inside so I was cozy. Supposedly even colder tomorrow.
Rainbow Bridge
If you Google Rainbow Bridge there's a beautiful website on this. Just a warning - it'll probably get you bawling if you're like me!
i have a Marilyn (sp?) bridge and it
works great. had a partial for a long time and hated it. had to take it in and out like dentures and was terribly embarrassed. the bridge also didn't cost as much. i've been told that there are drawbacks to bridges though, so might want to ask about that. good luck. i didn't smile for a long time.
Jump off a bridge already.
I find myself wishing that toward all the pedophiles I've been typing about lately.  My heart just aches for their victims.  I'm so disgusted by what they do, have done, that I just about puke by the end of the notes.   As soon as this shift is over, I'm taking a hot shower to help wash away my disgust. 
No you cross a bridge to get there - not far enough out (sm)
to warrant a ferry or plane. But it is truly surrounded on all three sides, and you couldn't wade or swim across...lol. It is a port town, and they have a huge shrimp boat festival there every year with all sorts of artsy vendors and such. There is an old saloon there called the Palace Saloon which was supposedly the old hangout for pirates and smugglers who went through the area. Here are a couple of links if you are interested in reading or seeing pics :)

Here's the "Rainbow Bridge" quote (sm)

I personally don't believe in a god or an afterlife, but this little story makes a lot of people feel better when their animal passes, and if that can bring comfort to someone in a time of grief, I'm all for it.   



"Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.


When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.


All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.


They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.


You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... "


INTERSTATE BRIDGE BREAKS IN MN. See CNN nm

If Cindy's parents let her jump off a bridge would you do it too.

She'll be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge
She will still have that little piece of your heart. I hope you feel peaceful, you did the loving thing.

Bay Bridge is closed for repair work all weekend -
so getting in or out of the city will be a total nightmare. I'm just gonna hang out at home and work on Monday, since I need the $$!

On Sunday there's a big (free!) rock concert at the polo field in Golden Gate Park, honoring the 40th anniversary of the 'Summer of Love' in S.F. in 1967. (Gad - was it THAT long ago?) Lots of the original bands will be there. (Sigh....Too bad Jerry Garcia still isn't around to take part....) So, if I can find a parking-place anywhere in the same zip-code, I may cruise on over there and hobnob with all the old hippies. Should be pretty cool.

(PS: I have a young, hippy-ish friend with a totally amazing tattoo of Jerry Garcia on one of her arms! I know SHE'LL be there for sure!)
Another animal crossed Rainbow Bridge today (pic).

This is a picture of Buck.  He was a Belgian horse, late teens maybe early 20s, who was found by a friend of mine at a livestock auction with his teammate (another older Belgian) who were both skin and bones, sores on their skin, bad hooves...the whole enchilada of problems that neglect brings.  She bought them both for a couple hundred bucks just so they could go to her place and die with a belly full of food.  They both made a miraculous recovery, gained weight, and went onto great homes.  I was blessed with being able to take Buck on a 3-week trial to see if he would be a good slow riding horse for me (I'm kinda crippled up and that was my therapy). 


He was a sweet old fella but his heart was in pulling...either wagons or twitching wood out of the forest, so he moved onto a home that was better suited for him.  We kept in touch with his new owners who loved him as much as I did. 


Today I got a phone call and was told he just dropped dead, apparently of a heart attack.  Sadly, the years of neglect took their toll and his heart just gave out.  I'm thankful he was at least surrounded by people who loved him when he needed it the most.  Please hug your critters--we never know when they may leave us.


They're under a bridge in Miami. Told to live there. That isn't

South here too...but
nm
Hey ya all, I am from the south so
I am heading west. I loved visiting California also. I just love my traveling though, bitten by the bug years ago
Same here. I'm from the South, too. nm

3.39 here in south AL n/m

I'm further south than you
Down here near Albany, GA and FREEZING! Worst part is we don't have heat in our house, just little room heaters.

One trick I learned from my gram, turn the oven on and leave the door open a little. Don't leave it on long though or your electric bill will go up! But if you need to knock the cold off the kitchen that will do the trick.

I wish I had one of those snuggles blankets I keep seeing on TV!
Not just in the south.
I had a friend in North Dakota who also did this. 
Come to South MS, down here everyone....sm
talks like me basically. I never knew it until I went up north and then I was like OMG. I talk way different than these people. I thought I talked like anyone else. I was wrong.
opinion on the south
I was rasied in Fayetteville NC and Charleston SC being the army brat that I am - I have to say that Charleston is a great family town, lots of things for the family and kids - parks museums, forts etc. The schools are exceelent and I loved it. I still have family and friends there and it is just beutiful. Affordable too. Employment for the others in you home is veried as well.
In the south we would call that
trailer folk trash- just not accepted
I am just south of Reno...

I could meet you at Brew Brothers for a microbrew....or two....or three.....


ENJOY!!


What part of the south are you in?
Where I live, deep south, women certainly go that. Do not put an overall blanket on each statement, especially about the south because we already have to live down what others think of the south.
Actually, no I cannot tell you live in the south because
I was raised here and have no idea what you are talking about. Cannibal- that sounds like UGH to me, big time and the other porkchop with all those trimmings. Never ever darling. By the way, what part of the south? South Florida??
Why would anyone think the south only likes
country?? Ugh. I have lived here all my life and I cannot stand it. My tastes are more opera, beautiful love sounds, Gershwin. I could not tell you 1 name of a country song. Please do not group us all together. Folks just making assumptions - again.
Say what, in the south we have double
names for males also, since when did you think it stopped at females?
Well, it's hot. I live in south MS, so it's hot.

And humid.  But it's actually not as hot as some places up north! 


I think I maybe just had not eaten much in the last few days.  They don't let you give blood if you are anemic.  I have been turned down many times because of that.  I have to cut myself off of iced tea for a couple days then I'm usually okay to donate.  I am just typing, had a latte, drinking some tea now, will eat some stuff in a while.  Maybe I am tired, too, it's been a tad stressful around here recently.  Maybe I will sleep tonight!  That would be different.  I should probably think about re-establishing my relationship with my Dr. since I finally do have ins. now. 


yes, ma'am....where in south FL?
xx
Wow you must live in the south?
Never heard of jowl meat and hot water cornbread? I am a yankee so be nice...just never heard those foods before...sounds like a good time!


See how the south is slammed?
She says she is a yankee down below. Mother told me never to assume......
I am not slamming the south....just never
heard of any cooking like that anywhere else thats all. Was seriously interested in that type of food...always like to learn about new foods...please don't misunderstand and think I'm slamming anybody....just like the differences in all of us!
North/South
Doesn't matter what side we come from, we are all here for the same reason and by the same God.  My grandfather used to tell me that the south did whatever they could to survive and the north had more money so they were technologically advanced and better educated.  That changed a long time ago.  I would say we are all pretty even now days.  My husband is from Germany and lived in WI before coming here to the heart of the bible belt, and he still can't wrap his mind around sweat tea or cornbread.  He says I'm eating cardboard.  Just a thought..
hi there - I'm in south florida....sm

and due to the multi-multi ethnic groups here - MULTITUDES of different groups - we have it all in the supermarkets....


You never had chopped liver?  Never eaten chicken livers and onions together just fried up?  Never had chicken livers wrapped in bacon and then cooked?  Ramaki's I think they are called (can't remember)....


The Argentinians I just read eat twice as much beef as Americans....not a good thing...*lol*


 


When I first moved to the south, I once saw this guy sm
mowing a lawn (up a steep hill) with short shorts, cowboy hat and cowboy boots. Obviously, the boots were slippery so he kept slipping and trying to dig his heels in the grass. I almost crashed from laughing so hard.
South Beach here.
I started South Beach just today since the New Year fell in the middle of the week.  My husband and I have done it before and it really works pretty much effortlessly.  I am working two jobs from 8:00 - 1:30 (Real Estate) and my transcription job from 2:00 - 10:30, so this seems to be the only way to lose weight for me given the fact that I have no free time or energy to exercise.  We did it before last spring and the weight loss is quick and pretty painless once you get over the initial carb withdrawal.  I would love some support and could offer some as well.  You can e-mail me directly at mandie573@yahoo.com.  Thanks and good luck. 
Deep south - only hog I know is as in
pigs.
I'm south of that school sm
about 60 miles. Still in shock. It's all over the news down here. My thoughts are truly with the families.
The South of France....NM

Yes, I agree. I am from the south too nm

I'm betting he's from the South

That's something that's very often done in the Deep South. 


people from the south will try anything once!
never heard of peanuts in Coke but when we moved to GA, when we got ice cream, they would ask if we wanted wet nuts. Say what? Then I saw you can buy them in the grocery store.

You have to remember, these are the same folks who eat crawfish. In the north, we call that bait. Our adult babysitter said she used to go to the creek and snap the heads off crawfish and suck it out. I would have to be might desparate to do that!
it may be different where you live but in South
sickening, really.
when i lived in the south, they said
i had a 'northern' accent. I'm born/raised Californian. When we moved to midwest, teased kids for having southern accent. however, when my husband used to work all over the country 40 yr ago, he could tell almost exactly where someone was from, hearing them talk a bit. With all the travel/moving around now, accents are there, but not nearly as identifiable, and ofttimes a mixture ...
After 5 years in south MS
I still have a Minne-SOH-ta accent that I don't believe has diminished a bit!
in the south we still have FLUFF! sm
Being originally from Michigan (Detroit area) one of the biggest items that is native to the area is Vernors ginger ale You can get it in some stores in the south but in Michigan you can get it in the restaurants etc. Its kind of like one of those drinks you either love or hate and there is no in between. I was raised on it and LOVE IT!

Now living in the south, "southern food" being the thing, good and fattening! haha

Never heard of your oatmeal/ice cream cookie thing but it sure sounds good!
South here and mine only
$73.00 this month. Have had the air on some but really reasonable temperate weather so far and usually hot, hot, hot. I have ceiling fans that I use, especially in the bedroom of a night so sleep comfortably.
Hope you don't live in the South!! LOL (nm)

I'm in South too, last time we had snow was..
