I am sure some Yankees do look down on Southerners for their accents and are rude, etc.--and vice versa. She couldn't see that she was doing what she hates other people doing to her, and that's when I was glad to remember I didn't have to talk to her.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Unfortunately, she is providing excellent justification to anyone that might do that. "Gone With The Wind" was fiction, babe.

She also told me she was absent the day 'they' taught diversity.

Oh, totally. And having lived on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line, I've seen both--mindboggling insularity and Yankee hate from Southerners, and anti-Southern bigotry that people would still utter to my face knowing damn well where I was born and raised.

I'm partial to a Southern accent, myself. Actually, I'm a bit easy for accents, in general.

There are lots of things I don't understand about y'all, but I try not to make it personal or a hate thing.

Well, to me they just sound like home, y'know? At least, the version of the accent my family has does.

My fetish seems to be English Northern accents. Mmm...Sean Bean... Mmm...Christopher Eccleston...

Let's see, where was I? It's funny, lately I've been feeling more like a Southerner than I have in many years, all without changing my blue-state politics or determination to keep living on the very opposite corner of the country. I think it may have something to do with me losing my dad. It's all very vague and emotional, just a deeper awareness that my roots are in that Alabama red clay, and while that legacy isn't all good, it's by no means all bad, either.

Hi... taking a paper writing break. I don't know what I'm doing so it's going slowly. I think it may come together though. Here's hoping.
It has been pouring rain all day, bleh. Poor Tom, I just sent him out to the grocery store.
Note to Frank: I am just stopping by here for a break! I'm going off to do work again!

Hi Nora.
and while that legacy isn't all good, it's by no means all bad, either.That's exactly it, nobody's legacy is all good, or all bad. I think she was probably ineptly trying to mourn the passing niceties she liked about her (sub?)culture. I get that. I miss niceties--politesse, whatever you want to call it. Men in hats. Stores closed on Sundays. A slower life. A friendlier life.
Blaming "those others" for the passing of time is small-minded at best, and hateful at worst.

All is well that ends in pizza.
