I actually do think she is a neat lady. No, I do not eat the types of things she cooks. Brother, none of it is one bit healthy! Fried everything and pounds of butter in everything. Yes, it tastes great I am sure, but who can afford those calories on a regular basis?

I live in the south and know my accent is truly southern
but I find Paula to be over the top and seemingly a put on with hers. Most I have met from different spots in the US and different countries love to hear me talk.
Philly/South Jersey accent
I have a Philly accent, though not as pronounced as some. I definitely say "wooder" for "water". But I don't have that over-long "Oh" sound that you hear around Philly. I do say certain phrases that are Philly-distinct. Like, "I'm gone downa shore," which means that I plan on going to the New Jersey seaside. And we tend to say "yiz" for the plural "you", using it the same way as southerners say y'all and New Yorkers say yooze.
Oh! And I do shout out, "Yo!" when I want to get someone's attention.
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.
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??
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.
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!
it may be different where you live but in South
sickening, really.
Hope you don't live in the South!! LOL (nm)

i live in south alabama and it has been about
Parents were letting their kids walk to school in shorts!!! I won't even let mine walk to school with a coat, jacket, scarf and gloves in 30 degree weather!! I guess they don't mind paying the doctor bills for when they get sick...
I live in South Central
It is nice to see another flatlander. :)
Is it allergies from all the pollen? Do you live in the South? nm

I live in the south and my landlord told me NO SMOKING before she would rent to me...

I am in a biracial marriage, not thick skinned, live in the deep south, have
a mixed daughter who is 32 years old and she told me going to school she had the best of both worlds. Live in a very nice mixed neighborhood, just don’t know where this person lives who has to be thick skinned. Has never happened to me.
Everybody has an accent, the accent where one lives...nm

My news is on here, just sounds like you and where you live
A small town, Hampton, Georgia - 83-year-old woman former teacher approached at her door by a begger- she turned to get him some money, attacked and beaten, found out on the street- people now being told to lock their doors as before folks there left doors open, 1 person said never had to do this before but now they are scared not to- know probably from somewhere else, everyone knows everyone there, always a quiet town. I live in the real world- you and others need to catch up. I call locking the doors security and using common sense.
Can I come live with you - yours sounds lovely.
Yours is real. Mine is semi-real.
Snow?! What snow? LOL I live in south...sm
Mississippi. We rarely have snow so I can't relate, but I think the snow is beautiful though. I tell ya, a couple of years ago my husband and I went to upstate New York during March or April, not sure now which. I froze to death. I seen enough snow to get my fill. It was a bitter cold too. I am not used to that. A cold front had come through so I don't know if it normally snows there that late in the year or not.
Do you have an accent?
When I went to Southern Tennessee with DD2 to look at a college, I was surprised that I wasn't hearing much of a Southern accent in the people around me. They all pretty much sounded like me.
Are accents dying out? Do you have an accent?
lol, also her, I mean I know what an accent
is, but what is a 'fake accent?'
Somebody who tries to have an accent?
If her accent is grating, you must
xx
Isn't it weird how when you have an accent...sm
you don't know it until you get around other people who are not southern? People up north don't realize they have the northern accent until they come down here I guess.
I LOVE his Australian accent - MN
NM
Yes, big Texas accent & proud of it.

haha, do you think I could pick up the accent?
or is it instilled in childhood??
haha

yes he is girl. Have you ever heard his real accent
WOW lol
James Gandolfini, but only doing his Tony Soprano accent..
and James Earl Jones. The only woman I can come up with is not an actor, but it would be Maya Angelou, she has the most crisp, perfect command of the English language.
nope...lol, hint: try reading it with a strong southern accent...lol
:)
Have an extremely strong accent when speaking foreign languages,....nm

GMA=no fake...
On Good Morning America, they stated when the little girl was asked why she was crying, she stated she just liked Sanjaya.I also saw her crying for a few others, but don't remember names of them.
On a personal note, I do think he did better last night, but IMO he is not good enough to stay. There are far better others, and even some that are already gone!

fake since - sm
Christmas in ND in 1992 and cats not staying out of the tree no matter what, drinking all the water, chewing on the needles. Went to fake and up to 9 feet tall now and really no problems at all even if there is a kitten at Christmas time. Such a difference at our house going from real to fake. Plus, no zillion needs to clean up. I do miss the fragrance, but it was either the cats or the real tree and the cats won! :-)
fake
fake, little, and up on a table, bought when we were broke, now not sure if we should go back to real.
Fake
I'm allergic so real is not an option. We have a big one but bought a thinner one last year. They are both pretty tall though. It just took up so much room in our living room. We were tired or rearranging the furniture around the xmas tree. The new one rotates so you can see all the ornaments!
Fake the flu..nm

These are fake. sm...
According to www.truthorfiction.com, these are frames clipped from a YouTube video of an episode of "Lost" and posted online.
ToF is a way to back up what Snopes says and vise-versa.
I agree with the poster below, it IS very sad that somebody would do this.
Up. Fake but gorgeous! lol (we think so at least!)

First fake tree ever!
I put it up last night and I have to say, it's quite impressive! Lots of lights, nice shape, easy to put together and even has a remote control to switch the lights on and off. I miss the smell of a real tree but not the mess.
put up a fake owl......someone just told
Best fake tan products?
Does anyone have a good experience with any of the fake tanning products out there? I want something easy to apply that looks as natural as it can be out of the bottle. Thanks so much!
Real or fake? Big or little?
Christmas tree preference?
It was never long in the first place. It was all fake! nm

Now there's a rumor about that little girl being a fake.
I would hate to think that someone would ask a little kid to do something like that. Seems unlikely, but they did focus on her an awful lot. Thoughts?
It's not fake. Other people in Savannah had
aaq
With fake water and soap.

Fake, skinny. Don't have much space...sm
but I didn't want table size tree. Got it last year and was really amazed at how pretty it turned out.
I saw this video yesterday but to me it looks fake and set up. NM

Fake for the past 3 years
I love it. Lights came attached and are remote control, no untangling of lights! Not to mention I bought it on sale 3 years ago for $99 so it's already more than paid for itself. I miss the smell of a real tree but not the mess and constant watering and picking up needles, trying to keep my animals from drinking out of the water in the base, etc. :)
I think the boy's teeth look terrific, not fake
at all. I know that when my son first got his braces off it was very, very strange. I called him Willie Wonka for a few days. They were just sooo perfect it was kinda freaky, but the strangeness wore off after a few days. Does your son like how they turned out?
