oh yeah, and anne kate? the Great Human Hadj????? We went to visit him, it wasn't a religious pilgrimage. And visiting jon is hardly a sensible thing to do on a religous pilgrimage, as much fun it was.

Well, though, I understand that there are commemorative christmas ornaments or some such religious iconography so naturally I started thinking of it in those terms.

Oh and to answer your question, rayne, I'm not in Iraq YET. I'm looking for a job as an engineer doing reconstruction work over there. And studying Arabic in the meantime. And I'm not in the military, I'm just a civilian who wants to help.

Toretha- They DEFINITELY talk about you behind your back. It's like they're scared that if they don't immediately list your short-comings (or would that be shorts-coming? ) upon your exit from the room, then the other people will assume you don't know about them, and nothing's worse than being out of the loop. Or something.

"The South" is really too broad a term. For instance right now I feel like I live in the North - but I doubt anyone else thinks of North Alabama that way! And it's further south than many of you.
There are "different" Souths! There are overlapping characteristics in many places, but c'mon does anyone really think that anywhere or anyone in Maryland is that similar to say Biloxi!
New Orleans is really a place unto itself, but I have to agree that hearing "pray-leens" and "pee-cans" really drives me NUTS!
and Toretha (being a BR native you've mostly got my list taken care of) but everyone is always moving OUT of Baton Rouge b/c of economy - so how did your northern parents end up moving TO BR??

Dad went to college at LSU, and mom came down here because her b/f was and she didn't get the note that said he wanted to break up. Mom said that once she got here, and tried the food, she decided she wasn't leaving until she'd eaten all of it
And when we moved back down here from Norway ME, it was cause mom missed the heat, sun and friends-and Dad, being a social worker could get a job pretty easily with the state.
