YEa - because those other than Southern states are pristine in virtue, academia, and human rights

Oh. I moved from NYC back to Alabama by choice. I am a doctor and my hubby is a lawyer, so we are not exactly stupid. My move was actually prompted by my hubby and I getting partnership offers; we decided that if we did that we could never return to the south, so we decided to move back!

Sure, I can joke about some things just like everyone else, but I just wanted to say that living in the south does not mean you are stupid and/or married to your cousin.

That is what I meant to say and you said it much better than I did

Maybe it should be things I would rather have not seen.....
Like:

The World Trade Center falling, falling, falling down- and what significance that held ....
Holding my 70 pound dog, while the Vet administered the shot, to put him to sleep......
Watching my Father's ashes go out with the tide on the ocean at our beach cottage house. ...
Watching my Mother let my Father go.....

But, I HAD to be at/ see all of those things because I was meant to.
Maybe I am being a little too heavy, but I think in the end....
You are made up of all the experiences that you encounter during your lifetime. Friends, Loves, Loss, Mistakes, Regrets, Decisions, Families, paths taken, paths not taken, all add up to who you ARE. All those experiences develop you and strenghten you and just make you, YOU
No one else in the world has seen what you have seen/been where you have been and felt what you have felt- No One!
It is what makes us all. Life is what makes us all....
Yes, for once, IT IS ALL ABOUT YOU!

I wouldn't stop watching TV for days....
I couldn't let my dog go by himself into that room...
As sad as I was that my Dad had died, he wanted to be let go, in the place that he loved the most...
As heartbreaking as it was to feel my Mother's pain-she needed me there....

Destiny or Fate or just living day to day, I have seen many things so far, and I plan to see a lot more
The ever philosophical,

It was meant to be a joke

I too lived in the south _for a spell_ hehe
and I did not mean to offend...it was meant as a joke

"Get-R-Done" is not something we generally hear in New England,
it reminded me of NASCAR, which reminds me of the south,
hense the rather silly crack about "Bama".
OK?? Still pals??

ha,

BTW - we used to have an apartment in the French Quater in New Orleans in a building called The Pontalba, which are like the oldest apts in the US and they are right next to St. Phillip's Cathedral in Jackson Square. The Angelus for the morning, noon, and evening Angelus was AWE INSPIRING - I can hear it to this day.

Then, I was in Venice almost a year ago to this day and my friend and I got up early and were walking in some out of the way neighborhood when all of the bells of the churches of Venice started ringing (probably for the Angelus) and we captured it on video, which I use as my alarm clock buzzer ever since.

Finally, if you climb one of the towers of Notre Dame, you can go into a belfry and the ring the 30 foot bell for a deafening sound

Needless to say I LOVE Church Bells.

Hustler magazines in my formative years.

Video footage of female circumcision.

www.rotten.com (seriously, don't go there! It will ruin you!)

Any room Debbie Travis has destroyed on her numerous shows!

My mother's mastectomy scar but I'm glad I saw it at the same time.

Our last family dog slowly dying. It was terribly sad.

And I'm SO with Deanna on the Britney Spears post!
