It's looking like the 16th-23rd, somewhere around there.
Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

If I ever move out of NC, I'm keeping "I reckon" and "bless your heart". So useful!
Welcome to the south, Liese!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I had to re-learn the southern I worked so hard to shed for drama school, but although I still eschew CEE-ment and IN-shurnce, I've reclaimed y'all, sugar, and bless your heart. Sugar's a good check-rein on somebody about to escalate a situation, if you use it in the right tone of voice.

I picked up howdy living in Tennessee and Arizona; I don't think I lost until I'd been back in the midwest for a number of years. It still pops out occasionally. The y'all converted back to you guys nearly instantaneously, though.

The three things I picked up living in Georgia: Budweiser, sweet tea and y'all.
Y'all I use naturally and unironically (mostly) but it comes and goes a bit depending on who and what is under discussion.
Sometimes I'll throw in an UMbrella or similar for humourous emphasis. (What was that furniture company that used to run all the ads in Georgia for living room SOOTs, that always cracked me up.)
Howdy is only when my sister and I are quoting the shark from Toy Story. ("Hi, I'm Woody! HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY.)

That's my primary use of "Howdy!" too!

I've kept "hiya" from my MI days. Which leads to "Hiya! How're all y'all."

I can't even.
Hiya was my first word. (I was a friendly child until the world ground me down, apparently.) I use howdy and y'all a lot and I have no genuine right to do so, other than spending a lot of time around friends from Missouri and Kansas (SCA).

Howdy and y'all are inclusive! You can totally use them, it's ok!
