Oh, yes, Miss Weaver! We DO still call Northerners "Yankees"! Just as some Yankees call us rednecks. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Thank you so much for the song. Brings to mind some of the old tent revival meetings! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I'm so glad to know that you can make biscuits and fry chicken. Was there any southern influence on your family in the past that resulted in these talents being passed on to you? I'd like your opinion on something. Reckon we need to hire The Bounty Hunter to go grab Mel and bring her east f the Mississippi so she can learn to be a proper Southern Lady? He was in our town last week, and if I'd thought about it, I would have consulted with him then. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

N2L, A woman with that Southern drawl would make even the proudest Yankee give a damn, as ML's example proved! Oh, but Mel doesn't have a southern accent; she has a Texas twang! Her Yankee just THOUGHT she had a southern accent! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Actually Scarlett, I was so looking for an opportunity to use that line.
Mr ML tells me that ML was actually BORN a yankee anyway.

Oh, Miss Scarlet, I did not know that ML married a Yankee. For some reason I thought she was the one with the relative/friend married to a Chicagoan, but that was you....
Old Yankee attention span not what it used to be...

That gal needs to be b*tch slapped SO BAD!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Now, now, Miss Melly! Calm yourself down, y'hear? Miss Lucille is very anxious for you to visit her for a spell and is busily getting your cell...er, room ready for you! Just think! When Miss Lucille gets finished with you, you'll be able to go ANYWHERE and have folks saying, "Isn't that MelodyLane just the SWEETEST lil' thing?" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'm so glad to know that you can make biscuits and fry chicken. Was there any southern influence on your family in the past that resulted in these talents being passed on to you? Why yes Scarlet, and true to your southern heritage, you are quite astute. My Dad was from the south, and I lived a few years as a child in South Carolina. I am most familiar with grits, black eyed peas and drenching greens in bacon fat. And we do always make corn bread in a cast iron pan, as well. Like Mel, having lived in a variety of different areas, I believe Southerners are more polite...to ones face. They do love their gossip, don't they? Now Texan's are a breed all to their own, I did enjoy living there though. Oklahoma was actually my favorite place. Ugly as hadies, but the people have a beauty that more than made up for the land. GB says that he has never seen rudeness like exists in south Mississippi. I can't vouch for that though, maybe he eggs it on.

Well, given that Ms'sippi is the Hospitality State, I'm mighty surprised that he feels that way! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> But, then, I haven't been to South Ms'Sippi all that much, so I wouldn't know. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I do hear that South Ms'Sippi is overrun with Yankees, though! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Praise the Lord that I don't live there! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> The rudest folks I've ever encountered were in Boston. Seems like they don't understand that you're s'pposed to WAVE at folks...not give 'em the 1-finger salute! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Oh, and Miss Weaver, I'm so glad to know that you are half-Southern! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

And we do always make corn bread in a cast iron pan, as well. Weaver Hi Weaver, My Grandma on my pappy's side <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> was from Arkansa, and I grew up eating black-eyed peas, fried chicken, fried okra, and cornbread baked in iron skillets. My grandma moved to California a few years after my pappy was born, but continued to cook southern style, and keeping true to her roots, kept a garden and chickens until her death at 84. Now my grandma on my mama's side was reared in Texas, and never served fried chicken or black-eyed peas in all the years I knew her. I guess I am a product of Southern influence in old yankeeville......... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
