After I got to $11 one day he wouldn’t pay me anymore. Ahh the South.

Grandpa was also no nonsense too. When I was 16 or so we took my 5 year old cousin fishing with us to a friend of my grandfather's pond. The man had some cows and a low voltage electrified wire fence that ran along the other side of the road from the pond we were in. My cousin, bless his heart, kept going across the road and I kept going to get him to keep him from getting hurt, grandpa a couple times too. We kept telling him leave that alone because it will hurt. But nooooo he kept going over to it. Finally he went one too may times. "Grandpa, Lee's going after the fence again." Long look, long pause from grandpa then "He'll learn" and makes a cast into the water and sure enough about a minute later I see him grab the fence with both hands and go GAHHHHHHTTTTPPPP as he shook and then came running back crying with little red lines on his palms and fingers. He holds his hands up to grandpa and grandpa looks at him and said "Hurt, didn't it." Lee sat there with us the rest of the time we fished and didn't move anywhere near that fence again.

This is so true! We lived in Dallas for 2 years & I have never felt heat & humidity like that. Can't say I want to again. And it never really cooled down at night. The day the movers came to get us out of there, it was 108, felt like 115 with the humidity. I had plenty of ice cold water for the moving guys & they went through an entire case & then some. Gave the foreman money to take the guys out for beer afterwards. Best BBQ we've ever had, though...and Shiner Bock is life. Luckily we can get Shiner here now. Thanks for always making me laugh, Matt.

Yay! I'm that yankee transplant and I ingratiated myself to my new southern neighbors by making them apple butter and a pie. I havent gotten a "bless your heart" or a stare yet! One thing I did notice as a transplant from Maryland is... at least in South Carolina, you can escape the 110 degree summer heat by standing in the shade. That wasnt possible before! So I love the south!

Watching these videos has made me wonder if a certain type of acknowledgment while jogging or walking is a southern thing. It's been this way my whole life, whether living in TN, SC, or KY. When you go out walking or jogging and pass other people, you always give them a fraction of a second of eye contact and nod at each as you pass. This happens 99% of the time I jog or walk around town Whether it's in Nashville, Charleston, Atlanta or a small rinky dink town. Both men and women do this in passing. I went to Michigan recently and jogged like normal. No one acknowledged me and a few people acted visibly confused. It tripped me out. In all my years of jogging, this has NEVER happened. It made me nervous. In the south, everybody acknowledges you from snobby looking people to homeless people. I'm thinking this is a southern thing. Like country people wave to cars that pass. What do you think?
@BROUBoomer Жыл бұрын
It's a Southern thing. It's polite to do. And depending on how big your family is, they could be a cousin, or somebody your family goes to church with. You don't want your grandma calling you saying she was told by Miz Daisy at church that you walked past her, and snubbed her. It'll take you a month of Sundays to get back in her good graces. And you may have to go visit Miz Daisy and apologize for your indiscretion of not acknowledging her the previous time you saw her. Besides it only takes 7 muscles to smile, and 49 to frown. And kindness is free. And like my grandma said, a green switch is free too. Take care, stay safe, have a nice day. 👵☮️🖖

It's not that it's bad and that's why they move. We move for other reasons (kidnapped by a Southerner) and we're excited and then there's culture shock. I'm in Louisiana and black mold is in all the apartments, the Mexican food is horrible, and the only grocery store for 100 miles is Walmart. If you don't buy watermelons the minute they open, people buy them and sell them out of their truck in the parking lot for $10 each. Also, there's no snakes, and certainly no venemous ones. Ya'll got Buc-Cee's, Whataburger, I can wear shorts on Thanksgiving, and Bama football. When we say "that's not how it's done where I'm from" that means I'm not paying $400k for a house just because it has an attached garage and rain while you're driving is not a reason to be paralyzed with fear.

I love this video! My hubby and I moved from Southern WI to Northern Kentucky at the end of Jun. When we moved it was past 95 degrees with a heat index of almost 100. That heat was bad last year. We felt sorry for the crew that we hired because they had to take breaks in the air conditioning because it was so hot and humid. They actually had to call another person to come help so they could get done quicker. Thank heavens for Central heat and air conditioning. We never really had central anything in the places where we lived. I think a few apartments that we lived in had central heat but window units for air. This is the first place where we have both. Seriously do the videos on the different regions.
