How is it now?

**UPDATE**

I think everything's back in order again.

I lived 4 years in Conway, SC . . . during which I was granted honorary Southerner status (not kidding, it was actually said that way by several of my Southern cohorts!). Y'all can trust me. I'm fixin' to go down for another visit soon too. Gonna drink some sweet tea and have some BBQ. mmmmmmm . . . .

Conway? That's about as small as Ruby, SC last time I was there. I wonder if they have a thousand people yet? Camden is another (or was) small little town where everybody knows everybody-sort of like Mayberry. Did anyone ever show you how to floss your teeth when you ran out of dental floss? You just take that red ring off baloney and let it dry a while and it's as good as Johnson and Johnson's floss!!

I didn't know about Clinton, Emilie...my deepest condolences. I barely remember Misty as that was right before or right after I first came here and was still trying to get over the deep grief of Katie. I never in my wildest dreams would have imagined I could have gotten so attached to a dog but, it happened and I didn't know it till she was gone.

Poor Rupert, I know his ears must be burning with everyone talking about him and blaming him for things someone else does!! Bless his heart!

NC is my old home state. I grew up there but left for TN back in 1974 and just love it here. I've never lived anywhere but the South for any length of time and wouldn't know how to act anywhere else. Why, we even talk to strangers in the grocery line and elevators! Imagine doing that in Jersey. Someone would probably pull out a can of mace.

You would be surprised how hospitable people are in the north. When we went to New York City our first and only time, people would see our tags and holler Go Vols. I talked to people on the ferry and everywhere we went. The people manning the toll booths thought we were crazy though when we pulled up to the booth on Halloween night about 10 pm and asked for directions to the Empire State Building. We had fun and drove through every tunnel there. the only one that had problems was Digger and he almost got attacked by a big dog off leash in a park the next day. Scared me to death. We bought real life Rolex watches LOL from the hockers for souveniors.

As far as people down south, man, you cant GET a friendlier bunch... in CT people are not as friendly ( no offence to anyone from CT reading this, but i can talk, i live there LOL!) and people dont start conversations as readily in grocery stores and such... but down here, every one is friendly and polite... it is a nice change of pace, and the sunsets here are so pretty...sigh... my hubby and i went to Knoxville TN a few years ago and it was beautiful!

Up North seems to be a little different. When I was married many years back to a gal from Auburn, NY, we went on a two week trip touring the east coast and ended up in NY and into the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. There's some beautiful country up that way but the people are sure different from what I saw. That was a long time ago...around 1983 best I remember. Of course, you can't say all flowers are yellow until you've been through the entire garden. There's strange birds everywhere...even here! Next time ya'll come down this way, give me a yell. I'd love to talk with you.

Glad you liked Knoxville. I love the mountains around here and resort areas like Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are only about 45-50 miles from here.

What a sweet and touching tribute to your baby! Thanks for sharing the pics.
I have the ashes of my little girl kitty, Tiramisu, in my china closet. Seems a fitting place for her, among the pretty china and crystal. She was every bit as beautiful and was such a girly girl. Her food and water bowl were Lenox china with pink rosebuds. (I worked at Lenox part-time so I had tons of the stuff)! I miss her everyday. It is hard to lose a cherished pet, that is for sure.

ColColt ~ I have that same machine!

My ex-brother-in-law gave one of those to me one Christmas as a gag gift and I've had a ball with it. Try it on a crowded elevator sometime...talk about looks!!

Having lived in both the North and the South, I can say that people are friendly in both places. But they are friendly in different ways, and sometimes are misunderstood by those from other areas. People talk to me every day when I walk down the street in Manhattan, whether it's to say "Good Morning" or "That's a nice sweater". But the speed at which we move can sometimes put people off. We also hold doors for each other and say "Thanks" when someone holds a door for us. Granted, there are nice and . . . not nice . . . people everywhere (LOVE the garden analogy ColColt!!!).

PS - flossing teeth with baloney wrapper? Yuck! Never heard that one. Conway is on the driving corridor for Myrtle Beach, so it is rapidly growing. Aynor, SC, on the other hand, is the neighbor to Conway, and VERY tiny . . . although I did hear that their blinking light was recently changed to a real stoplight . . . very exciting news!!!!

We've had a "blast" with our machine! Hubby wants to try it out in the check-out line at Wal-Mart.
