Nah, just ol' West. Of course we have our own thing about North and south in our own state but will leave it alone for now.

:0003

Yeah this thread isn't big enough for that discussion. :mj07:

Besides you would probably just show up around the 3rd post and leave by the 7th post.

Here's the difference. In the South, I will greet a complete stranger with a nod, how are you, how's it goin' etc greeting. This is reciprocated. If I did that up north, a sneering look, a look of fear, or a look of shock would be reciprocated. We are nicer here.

I voice my opinion more about this subject in politics. I hope people know I do that just to get their goats and to hate sec football. Lol. Truths be told I would love to live down sauth. Not bammy or misery. I guess it's just perspective, I would meet you all in a heart beat. Cie, hedge, betine , even skul. I get rowdy on a politcal forum but I have friends really great friends who are just as passionate against my opinion but I love em all anyway. Hell my best friends are packet fans but when push comes to shove I wouldn't let a viking fan hurt em too much and vice versa.. Lol.. It's just a different way I guess we are drilling through 18 inches of ice to catch fish. Hope that helps

I hear you :0074 Some of us are not as political as you may think

The good things the north have to offer.
I just absolutely love Rush one of the best live bands.
I also love hockey especially when I was younger lived it 24/7 365.
My Giants :00hour and those goddam yankees :mj07:

Not in Iowa, you wouldn't. Course, we aren't the "North" we are the Midwest.
We look each other in the eye--men, woman, kids--and we say hello or good morning or afternoon or evening and many times strike up a conversation with a total stranger while standing in a line at the grocery store or anywhere else. People walk or drive by my house and I see them? Its a wave or a hello--every time. yes, I live in a town of 5500, but I used to do that when I lived in a city of 100000 and it was more common to say hi than it was to be ignored when doing so.
I lived for 3 years in New York after college and that was the hardest thing to get used to. People looked at you like you were a pedophile if you said hello to them anywhere. It sucked. Was glad to get home to where people are friendly to one other wherever you happen to be.

Sounds like a great place, and no I don't consider Iowa to be a home of "northerners". :0074

More southern stuff:

You think "loading the dishwasher" means getting your wife drunk.
You ever cut your grass and found a car.
You own a home that is mobile and 5 cars that aren't.
You think the stock market has a fence around it.
Your stereo speakers used to belong to the Drive-in Theater.
Your boat has not left the drive-way in 15 years.
You own a homemade fur coat.
