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..
You guessed right! Raised in the North and will die in the south!!

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.
North Carolina and South Carolina info needed. SM
And thank you for all that answered regarding Charlotte. But I think I am going to look a little bit more east.
If anyone has info on the following towns, I would love to hear.
1. Fayetteville, NC
2. Goldsboro, NC
3. Greenville, NC
4. Rocky Mount, NC
5. Jacksonville, NC
6. Charleston, SC
My DH said we were rednecks the other day - sm
because we had a school bus parked in our driveway for a week (I was substitute driving for summer school). He was glad to see it go (he will love it when I finally get a route!)
They teach them to say that when their real little rednecks :-) (nm)

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.
...and you might be a redneck if...
your husband has put two duck decoys in your pool! After three weeks, they are still in there, and quite a conversation starter, LOL. Did you know that they can also be used as a floatation device??? It's redneck, but true!
I'm a yankee, who married a redneck, what can I say!

Rather be a redneck any day than a YANKEE ! nm

Don't want to be a redneck, but rather than a YANKEE! n/m

Wow -- I must be a redneck because I thought
Yankee candles were as high-end as it gets for candles. I only get 1 or 2 a year because I think they are expensive, unless I have a coupon. Guess that's what makes 'em low end on the high-end scale of candles, coupons?
I buy what I like the smell of first and the look of the candle second. I could care less about the name printed on them. As for the $325 candle, there'd better be $300 bills waiting for me when the wax melts.
You might be a redneck (true stories) (sm)
If your husband nails a wooden duck and wooden dog that your children painted to your back door (underneath the wooden back-to-back swans painted black that his mother made for you.....
(yep, my back door) haha! - anyone else have a redneck family member(s)? Did anyone marry a redneck they didn't realize was one beforehand?
Married to a mean redneck and have a secret black friend nm

What a laugh that was, Jeff Foxworthy on the front- you know you're a redneck when
you believe what Jeff Foxworthy says about being a man is the downhome truth. Yee Haw!!
I consider it north
I consider it north just because it is not far from Ohio - just cross the bridge in Maysville and you're in Ohio, but technically it probably isn't north. . if your daughter didn't like Maysville, she wouldn't like Flemingsburg either - it is even smaller - my daughter prefers living in Florence - she thinks Flemingsburg is too small too. .
what is BBQ ? I am from the north.
and a BBQ is when we cook outside on the grill. lol. These all sound like sloppy joes or manwich to me. Never did like them though. Is this what BBQ is?
North Carolina. nm

Just north of me. The lady I had
charged me $65 every other week for 2400 sq feet minus my office cause I do it myself. I also tipped her. She spent about 3-1/2 to 4 hours here.
All other quotes I am getting from individuals are a little higher than that but I would rather pay more and get better service. Some agencies want around $130. I found one that quoted me $70 to $87 but could not get out to give me an exact estimate until a week later so I am waiting to hear back from the ladies I emailed on Craigslist to see if they can come this week.

I'm far North Texas
so that wouldn't work for me, but thanks for the info! Sounds like you got a great deal.
Very close, up a tad north of you....
My husband refuses to go further north than Tennessee. He believes he will "freeze". I, on the other hand, grew up in the south but have ALWAYS longed to live up north. I have a cousin who grew up here with me. She went to Vermont one year for some job or something, came back home, and said she was moving up there. She did and is now in her late 50's and dreads having to come back down here. She loves it too! She keeps wanting me to come visit but I would want to move even more. Now, I probably will say no to Alaska. I had a girlfriend who moved up there one week after getting married (her husband was from there). She is a southern girl and she was miserable. She would call crying, was thawing her walls out with a blow dryer. I was dying laughing and she was squawling. Twelve years later, she finally told her husband she wand the kids wer moving back south....he could come if he wanted. He did and they have been here ever since.
North Carolina
I am from North Carolina. I would make sure I visited the Outer Banks and Kitty Hawk. If it was the right time of the year, I would see "The Lost Colony". I just love Hatteras and the lighthouse. North Carolina has some very interesting and beautiful places to see. Also, the Biltmore House in Asheville is very nice, and has beautiful gardens. North Carolina is a wonderful state. Oh, I almost forgot -- the beautiful mountains -- Cherokee, Maggie Valley. Too much to mention.
As far as I know career = north
Here's a website that gives some office tips (hope the link works)

North Carolina??
My husband and I are considering a move to N.C. Does anyone live in the Cary area? If so, how do you like this area? Could you tell me about the community there. Thanks
we had 1 channel when we were north
and it was great. We only had an antenna. Got used to just those shows that came on and if I didn't like something on TV I read or did something else.
For some reason I enjoyed TV much better when I didn't have so much to choose from. Now it's all garbage.
I hate TV but do find I keep it on for noise.
All I say is GO FOR IT. My sister says she wishes she cut the TV off more with their son. Now he's hooked, but their daughter has very little interest in TV. She reads and plays and does other stuff.
We live in North Texas
and have been here our whole lives. Have visited both CC and Galveston a lot of times. We're thinking of moving closer to one of them, maybe on outskirts somewhere, but are just wondering pricing for homes or even just land to build on. Any idea if is it way high because of beaches?
No snow for me in North Alabama - sm
I am halfway between Birmingham, Alabama and Nashville, Tennessee. The snow completely missed us. I wanted snow for my children, but since it missed us, I am so praying that your babies get to see snow. Please let us know.
I'm in north MS, I saw a bag of fried peanuts in...
still in the shell at a convenience store yesterday!
I grew up in IL and many of the foods I grew up eating are the same here.
Go with the Crest or North Wildwood
I grew up in Wildwood Crest and my mother still lives there. While it might be cheaper to stay in Wildwood itself, there's a reason for that. I would definitely go with either Wildwood Crest or North Wildwood. Both are much nicer than the City of Wildwood. North Wildwood has bars and part of the boardwalk. The Crest is a dry town so no bars and it tends to be quieter.
Wildwood has the boardwalk and great water park but otherwise not much to offer, and its easy enough to get from one to the other so I would definitely recommend NOT staying in Wildwood. You'll see the difference when you get there.
Have a great time!!!
A few inches of VERY wet snow for us just north of Montgomery, AL -nm

Supper here north of Kansas City, MO
Stuffed green peppers (spanish rice/burger mixture topped with shredded cheese) and a romaine lettuce salad. Apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.
North Dakota. :D Freeze in winter/fry in summer ;)
Well, this is our coldest period right now. But having it -30 to -60 with the windchills certainly isn't any surprise. In summer we can be in the 80s and 90s with very high humidity. LOL! We always say, if you don't like the weather... just wait a minute.
Lower NY state north of NYC, getting hit with sleet and ice! Few inches of it now. :( nm
s
You're so funny!!! That's what I wanted - funny redneck stories
Just kinda tired of my house looking like Sanford and Son - LOL!
sorry..!! Dry, only a scattering of snow from a few days ago. I'm 2 hours north of NYC. The cold
s
oooh, the Pine Barrens. Is that near Burlington? (grew up in North J)

southern NJ
We have about 2 inches here
From Southern NJ here

It's 50 right now in southern AZ, (sm)
and it's supposed to get up to 76 degrees this afternoon. I feel for all you braving the cold as I am a displaced Midwesterner myself just like I'm sure you're all feeling for me when it's 110 degrees here in July and August! LOL! :)
Southern
The accents here are very Southern. I live in lower AL. Lots of people here think I have an accent, I am from WI. But when I talk to people from there, they think I have an accent.
Southern also-nm

Southern by birth
Full of holes.....
Same here, but with a Southern twist -
Some young child grinning from ear to ear shouts in his hillbilly accent that I can barely understand (and I transcribe plenty of ESLs!) why one should buy cars from his dad. I want to tell them I might if I could understand something besides every tenth word...Brother!
Gotta be southern
NM
I don't know either but the southern cooking
is the only thing I could think of ...like Louisiana....the bayou....that kind of south??? Have NO IDEA!
southern dressin'
So you don't put white bread in your dressin'? Just cornbread? Cause the kind I make, I put 7 slices of toasted bread along with 1 sleeve of saltines. But absolutely no fruit whatsoever...
Here in southern Minnesota. . .
They call anything with barbeque sauce and meat that you eat on a bun "barbecues." Just last weekend we were getting together with husband's family and my MIL called and asked me if she should make "barbecues." I guess it does sound odd. It took me a while to get used to it. Another thing that took me a while to get used to was that a casserole was called "hot dish." It could be any kind of casserole, and they just called it "hot dish."
Southern California $2.20-ish.

Its 31 in southern Oregon
And feels like 20 degrees inside my house.
It is a southern thing I think....sm
I am southern and my mom used to do this a lot. She would buy a coke and put a little bag of peanuts in it.
I tried it and no the peanuts don't get mushy. It does make the coke salty too. I think it is tasty actually.
