I'll add some from east Tennessee


1. You can't do a quick run to town because you will always run into someone you know....and you have to stop and chat a bit.

2. Everyone is called ma'am or sir.

3. Nobody curses and I hear "well gah...lly" a lot.

4. G's are dropped at the end of words. So now instead of aggravating it is aggravatin'.

5. Almost everyone is friendly and willing to talk and help you.

6. So many people here have big gardens and you get invited to pick from them

8. Don't ask "how are you" if you don't want the long version, lol.

Young Lisa- gal u know a whole lot about Arizona... that is so funny and true.. A couple of summers ago my A/C went out and it was so hot the paint on the walls literally melted. I had new suits hanging in my closet and the plastic pinchers that hold the skirts melted into the skirts. The heat can kill u or at the very least make u crazy. I lots of folk need a killin when its too hot. I enjoyed ur humor as usual thank u.

Though there is good and bad no matter where you live, I love that one about Calif...so true. But even more so, how about 'in Az you never run out of hot water, you can run your cold water for 10 minutes and it still comes out of the tap as hot'. I know this from my own experience, lol!!
And Calif is getting waaaay expensive, thats why Im moving elsewhere.
Younglisa, I like your input on TN folks, they are that way in OK too.
Y'all have great inputs, I like 'em all.
Great post!!!
