Oh you didn't want me to do that? so sorry please forgive me. Thanks for your advice.

As is the stereotypical type for a New Yorker to be rude, loud and push (quiet to opposite in my experience) and for Southerners to be barefooted, living on dirt roads with straw in their mouths.

My father-in-law raised pigs and they were free range, in that he did not pin them in a building. I never saw the man dirty or unkempt. He kept his good clothes in the barn and showered and changed before coming in the house.<br /><br />I suppose you don't eat pork?Charlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17167633465853736197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31409757.post-58928334965123755242010-07-26T11:36:49.807-04:002010-07-26T11:36:49.807-04:00I think that most of us who are on the ‘other side...I think that most of us who are on the ‘other side’ of mid-life know or have someone in their life who farmed for a living or to supplement the nightly grub. My mom was fifty from last of 16 kids (two moms) and was raised on a farm - with no TV or Radio. The family played all the instruments and entertained themselves.<br /><br />Lickety Splitter, a Hick is on the lower scale. Usually uneducated loafers who live in slum trailer parks or shacks far from civilization. They are usually not very intelligent and shun culture. Tho it is a respected trade, hicks are usually depicted as pig farmers and are dirty all the time. You know, Democrats.Coffeypothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08601474604616163167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31409757.post-44397181119673412342010-07-26T10:07:47.803-04:002010-07-26T10:07:47.803-04:00Love them all much better than most!!Love them all much better than most!!gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00894920637532415315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31409757.post-52162805425997613152010-07-26T09:47:17.164-04:002010-07-26T09:47:17.164-04:00My people were all farms.
