You'd better watch out, you're next. And yes, I know that's your word but we suthin girls can put the "ass" in "assimilated" so watch out you double yankee, you.
Stop me, it's much to early to start this.

...Next for what - no way am I eating grits or whatever that other suthin' specialty was! Why am I a double yankee????
Okay, back to the topic - Denise and I should be good for April 30 but it hard to tell that far out...
Granny - do you miss me yet????

I'm in. The wife is a maybe. I think the New England, Ney York and New Jersey folks would appreciate something within an hour of DC. South or west of DC is fine. North would be great. East would be wet!

Trix, I missed you before you left because I didn't get talk and play with you and Denise as much as I wanted. I watched you load your car from my window and started to run down but I would have looked funny in my nighties out there.
You're a double Yankee because you're above two lines, the Mason Dixon line and the border line (and yes Bill, we extended the line horizontally to the west). Yep, I think we can rustle up some grits and chitlins for SF05 just for you and a few other holdouts. Let the assimilation begin. Can Nick, Chaz, Zippy, Anarky and Tom be far behind?

Even now, if I spend more than a day south of the Mason-Dixon line, I pick up a strong accent and it can take weeks to lose it upon my return to the North.

[QUOTE=tomcatt,Oct 29 2004, 01:09 PM] Granny, I was assimilated 35 years ago when I lived on a farm in SW Missouri for two years, plus all the time I spent in Georgia, South Carolina and Texas when I was in technical sales in the 80s.
Even now, if I spend more than a day south of the Mason-Dixon line, I pick up a strong accent and it can take weeks to lose it upon my return to the North.
