Question? My sister says West Vorginians are hillbillies? (Martinsburg, Logan: credit, custom home)

[Threerun]

I thought Anise drank kerosene with pepper?

[David Kennedy]

He did...but had to stop after a while...was increasing the gap between his two front teeth...he filtered his bread from the buttermilk that way. Certainly was a courageous family to go up against the establishment. Sid Hatfield was my favorite.

When we butcher hogs, some folks want the loins cut out (no pork chops), so I gather up all the spine / loin leftovers and boil it in apple cider vinegar and water until the meat falls off.

That's my base for home made BBQ. Loin meat brothed in apple cider and then slow crock-pot cooked with homemade BBQ sauce.

Shred some vidalia onions and add some fresh slaw on a Kasier and now you're talking.

Hot Dogs? sheesh..

I guess it depends on what part of the state you are brought up in or live, as far as Slaw is concern, you all have the right to eat and enjoy your Hot dog as much as us Lovers of Slaw on our hot dogs do.. Besides you guys must of missed this site for West Virginia Hot Dog Lovers:

http://wvhotdogs.com/index.html

As far as the lady that started this thread, It seem it was just a innocent question but without thinking it out before asking.. She has had enough torment already, LOL!! But..... I do have to throw in my one big Ohio gripe.... Ohioans must have came from the UK. they are drive on the left side of the road, can't seem to get them to drive on the right side of the interstate, tough buggers to pass. If there's a slow down on 77 or 64 you can guarantee there's a Ohioan clogging down the interstate driving on the left side doing 55 to 60. LOL!!

That's my nickel, (Comment price went up due to high oil prices this summer)

First off, let me introduce myself. My name is Jacqueline. I am originally from Philadelphia, PA. I moved to Erie, PA in 2002. I recently met a man who calls himself a hillbilly and a redneck. He and I are worlds apart in some ways, but twin spirits in others. I am from a city of 1.6 million people and I have a university degree in mathematics and computer science. I am a three-times published author. He did not get to graduate from high school owing to a silly juvenile stunt. But he is by no means dumb or uneducated. He is self-educated. And he is a highly skilled machinist as well as a self-taught archeologist - he's a more rugged version of Indiana Jones. His name is Tim and he absolutely won my heart. He asked me if I wanted to be "his hillbilly girl" - my answer was a very unhesitant YES! He lives in the heart of Appalachia in a holler. You can see Blair Mountain from his front porch.

Blair Mountain is the site of the largest armed insurrection since the Civil War. Miners from all over coal country came to support the striking miners in Matewan and to fight back against murdering coal comany hired thugs from the Baldwin Felt Agency who killed Matewan police chief Sid Hatfield in cold blood. The US government came in to protect the interests of wealthy, powerful coal companies by dropping bombs on the working class people of Mingo and Logan County in West Virginia. Hundreds of hardworking men and women made the ultimate sacrifice that made a prosperous middle class possible in America with things like overtime pay, payment of wages in US currency as opposed to company scrip, worker rights and safety laws, and the list goes on. An outstanding debt of gratitude remains due to the "rednecks and hillbillies" of West Virginia who have contributed far more to American prosperity than they have received.

To castigate people from WV as being disposable is unforgivable. I get angry when I see how mass media has effectively used social engineering methods to paint an entire state's population with a wide brush falsely depicting them as crazed, deformed, inbred cannibalistic retards. When the Megan Williams incident happened, the "Logan Six" were held up as poster children for justifying the negative stereotypes of West Virginians and poor rural whites in other areas as well. But as a Philadelphian, I have not been unjustly stereotyped with the likes of infamous serial killer Gary Heidnik, or hippie environmentalist guru-turned-woman-killer Ira Einhorn. If we don't stereotype all Philadelphians as cold-blooded killers, we should not stereotype other people from other places.

I love Tim Conley with all my heart. I would be proud to be his "hillbilly" girl for the rest of my life. And what matters to him and the small community in which he lives, matters to me. Whether it is the health and environmental dangers of mountaintop removal by greedy powerful coal company interests, or unjust negative stereotyping fueled by mass media's social engineering of American public opinion.

Okay.
Congrats.

?? Welcome to WV - wasn't sure if you were moving here or staying in Erie. Which, by the by, I have family in Erie. Nice town, good Italian restaurants, but major cold and snow.

Not sure what his views are on surface mining but we may differ there - a lot of us support it.

[GottaHerdOn]

and a lot of us do not support it

Plan to move to WV when I can get a reasonable price for my house so I can afford to make the move. The winters in Erie make me feel like I've been banished to Siberia - Erie in the winter is cold, desolate and it's the land of never-ending snow.

As to surface mining, I am doing alot of research on it. I still have much more research to do.
