THE SOUTH
Southern women Know their summer weather report: Humidity, Humidity, Humidity!
Southern women know their vacation spots: The beach, The rivuh, The crick!
Southern women know everybody's first name: Honey! Darlin'! Shugah!
Southern women know the movies that speak to their hearts: Fried Green Tomatoes, Driving Miss Daisy, Steel Magnolias, Gone With The Wind!
Southern women know their cities dripping with Southern charm: Chawl'stn, S'vanah, Foat Wuth, N'awlins, Addlanna!
Southern women know their elegant gentlemen: Men in uniform! Men in tuxedos! & Rhett Butler!
Southern girls know their prime real estate: TheMall, The Country Club & The Beauty Salon
Southern girls know the 3 deadly sins: Having bad hair and nails! Having bad manners! Cooking bad food!
More Suthen-ism's: Only a Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption fit, and that you don't "HAVE" them, you "PITCH" them.
Only a Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens, peas, beans, etc..., make up "a mess."
Only a Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of "yonder."
Only a Southerner knows exactly how long "directly" is, as in: "Going to town, be back directly."
Even Southern babies know that "Gimme some sugar" is not a request for the white, granular sweet substance that sits in a pretty little bowl in the middle of the table..
All Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is. They might not use the term, but they know the concept well.
Only a Southerner knows instinctively that the best gesture of solace for a neighbor who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold potato salad. If the neighbor's trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large banana puddin!
Only Southerners grow up knowing the difference between "right near" and " a right far piece."
They also know that "just down the road" can be 1 mile or 20
Only a Southerner, both knows and understands, the difference between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and Po white trash.
No true Southerner would ever assume that the car with the flashing turn signal is actually going to make a turn.
A Southerner knows that "fixin" can be used as a noun, a verb, or an adverb.
Only Southerners make friends while standing in lines, ... And when we're "in line,"... We talk to everybody!
Put 100 Southerners in a room and half of them will discover they're related, even if only by marriage.
In the South, y'all is singular, all y'all is plural.
Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat them.
Every Southerner knows tomatoes with eggs, bacon, grits, and coffee are perfectly wonderful; that red eye gravy is also a breakfast food; and that fried green tomatoes are not a breakfast food.
When you hear someone say, "Well, I caught myself lookin'," you know you are in the presence of a genuine Southerner!
Only true Southerners say "sweet tea" and "sweet milk." Sweet tea indicates the need for sugar and lots of it -- we do not like our tea unsweetened. "Sweet milk" means you don't want buttermilk.
And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway.. You just say,"Bless her heart" ... And go your own way.
To those of you who are still a little embarrassed by your Southerness: Take two tent revivals and a dose of sausage gravy and call me in the morning. Bless your heart!
And to those of you who are still having a hard time understanding all this Southern stuff, .... bless your hearts, I hear they are fixin' to have classes on Southernness as a second language!
Southern girls know men may come and go, but friends are fahevah !

Love?
- The ultimate test of a relationshipis to disagree, but still hold hands.
- A relationship is a two way street.It's never all your fault or the other persons.You go into the relationship togetherand work through it all together.
- When I look in your eyes I see the love we have for each other.
- An eternity with anyone elsewould just seem too long, but an eternity spent with you in my armsis just not long enough.
- Some pray to marry the man they love,my prayer will somewhat vary:I humbly pray to Heaven above that I love the man I marry.
- The most important thing in a relationship between a man and a womanis that one of them be good at taking orders
- I would rather fight with youthan make love to anyone else.-The Wedding Date
- I guarantee that we'll have tough times and I guarantee that at some point oneor both of us will want to get out. But I also guarantee thatif I don't ask you to be mine,I'll regret it for the rest of my life causeI know in my heart you're the only one for me.-Runaway Bride
- Why do you want to marry me?So I can kiss you anytime I want!-Sweet Home Alabama
- I did three things today; miss you, miss you,and miss you.
- It's hard to determine where to draw the linebetween being nice and not hurting people's feelings,and standing up for what you believe.
