The shelves are cleaned in the stores if a hard rain is mentioned on the news. We don't play with our food.

Yes she does!

She was my favorite!

Yep, we all should be so lucky to have a Grandma like her.

I really liked her. I hope she is in more videos!

That's exactly what I thought! I want to sit and talk and drink sweet tea with her.. such grace❤🥰

She'd have my GA vote!

Definitely was thinking, "I need her to be my best friend!"

I know and her voice was like warm honey. That lady's voice made me feel at home.

Absolutely! She’s the best! ❤️😎👍👏🏻

I'll make some fried chicken and honey biscuits for ya, I'm from VA and been to Australia and you people are bad influences...in a good way! I just wish yall didn't have to live with such buearcracy and swabbling politicians so much

We’ll be happy to have you!

We will welcome you back! Come have some fried chicken and sweet tea! And don’t forget to review your manners!

Come to North Carolina when you are here again. I will cook us all a feast.

@@amberjones9520 I went to NC and loved it. Such nice people : ) 🍁

My grandfather in Pennsylvania did that -- he would say, you get up and get your work done when it is cool in the am. Then he'd rest from lunch until about 4 when it cooled down a bit more and finish his work. He was raised on a farm and was a coal miner. He just had common sense. Like one of the people on this said, you don't need a survival handbook, just follow the farmer's directions.

Texan here... we call that nap a siesta. Too hot to be working so you might as well find a cool place and snooze.

IDK mate I live in CT and thats how I operate too, the earlier the start the better..... even in the winter. Because then you go home faster. Speaking from a construction standpoint. Its just good blue collar sense.

LAZY?! Ha! I don't hear of to many northern farms

EXACTLY!

Thems damn yankees

This drives me insane! They move down here and complain about our weather, make fun of us, and try to change our way of living. Then they get offended when I ask why they don't go back up north if they hate it here so much. 🤦‍♀️

Sounds like Californians when they move to Oregon. "Why does it rain so much?" "Dunno; maybe so our droughts can actually end in our lifetime and without a second Flood?"

That is so true!!

When I hear Northerners say that they don't like it in the South, I say...Delta's ready when y'all are...have y'all in town by sundown...

That was such a moving and genuine response. I hadn’t thought of it like that before, but I realize that’s why a good greeting is so important to me when people come into my work office. It just feels wrong not to make that connection otherwise.

I have even removed my mask to smile at someone and say Thank you.

I know! I got a little choked up.. so beautiful

Yes, Patricia nailed it with that explanation.

It's ironic how more black people are answering Questions than white people😅😅😅

What tone of voice and facial expression did you use?

Honey, I had a twang as a child. And when I get to sangin and prayin it really comes out. I love the way I talk.

AMEN!

Got any bagels? NO, your eggs, cheese, and desired meat will fit nicely onto this biscuit, or you can eat it separately with a fork.

I 85 goes both ways I suggest you go north and keep driving

@@michaelmerck7576 And GAS it!

@@younglaster OH yes!

You can say that again, no one can cook better than my mama.

That's right girl. Ain't nobody cook better than my mama...she's a born and bred southern girl.

This!!!

I'm a Yankee who's lived in Cincinnati for decades. My mom's fried chicken beats KFC's any day! F y'all! Fight me!

Caitlin that's very true some would say those are fightin words. Say you can cook better than a southerns mama. Funny story in junior high I was invited to a friend of a friend cousins house and I asked from a glass of sweet tea the look I got could kill a hater in winter time they say oh we don't have sweet tea and the lil girl said my mom is the best cook in the world and can out cook your mom any day. I told her yeah if she a great cook where's the sweet ice tea and I busted out laughing. My friend looks at me and whispered in my ear they are from the North I could not stop laughing.

Whenever someone asks that a piece of me dies

Aayyyyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!😱

Are they still alive?

Anybody knows you don't warsh a cast iron skillet

Well, I am a Californian, and I once left my brother-in-law's cast iron to soak overnight.....it may have been a bit rusty.

EXACTLY! I don’t live in the south anymore but when friends tell me someone said BYH to them, I say “Hold up! I need some clarification here. In what tone/context was that said? Because they could be being genuinely sweet, or they could be throwing shade at you..”

@@prettyponybaby2007 Exactly. Now, I probably, in all good faith, would never say it negatively to a friend unless they needed it. I would never use it flippantly to someone if I ever wanted them to like me after the fact. Someone acting ugly, they would get the full shade.

Yeah, there's the response to accounts of death or job loss or health/car/housing etc. crisis, and then there's the you ain't right one.

It's ironic how more black people are answering Questions than white people😅😅😅

Just noticed that it's just like a Marine saying 'Semper Fi', the actual meaning depends on the content and the tone.

Preach!

Or that stuffing is better than dressing

Amen Becca1012🤣

I promise not to because I hate both!

The idea of stuffing things into a turkey carcass sounds awful.

Yesssssssss! Like on little kid shows, it's like, "Heeeeeeyyy Yaaaaallllllll. Hoowwww aaarrreee yaaaaaaaa doooiinng? Loooooook waaaaaay uuupppp paaast yoooonnnddeeer aaaaand yooou wiiiiiiil seeeeeeee iiiiiiiit. Ooookkkaaaaayyyyy???

Yes all southern accents are not the same. A southern Texan can tell when someone is also southern but NOT from Texas. Hell even someone from Houston can tell if someone is from Jasper. Their are nuances to the way we speak.

tea with lemon. I know it's getting bad around here.

I have a few friends who hate tea period, one of them is a Southerner. Smh. Disgraceful.

"Oh, you're from the South... you're not smart enough to understand what I'm gonna say next." :(

The worst is when they say, “Do you have soda pop instead?” Its a bad manners to ask for something nobody down here knows about. Why not ask for a coke?

I’m not even from the south but anyone who says that sweet tea isn’t superior can fight me.

She should be the President of the United States...& not just the Southern states! Lol

Yelp, my friend's mama knew that they could both woop my but or give me a big hug just like my moma did ! 😊

Had a friend's mother start to cry when I didn't call her "mom", I was being polite when I said Mrs. Cooper...🙈

Yeh! Exactly! I got Moma Linda; Moma Betty; Moma Delana; Moma Aleta; ...

And of course, some have lesbian mamas

Don't forget aunts!

Lies from the pit of hell. Lol Just like the microwave will never equally match your mama or grandma.

It doesn't compute for this Californian either. Such a statement is just bad taste.

Amiee you are sure right I have to buy instant mater mix cause I'm the only one that cooks in my family cause my dad is in a wheelchair and hard for him to move around in our very small kitchen and my mom passed away last year so it's been very hard on us both. But I'm starting to love to cook more. I come up with some crazy ideas. For example baked bbq pork chops.

@@jeremiahpace6533 Hey, don't underestimate the power of good baked BBQ! Chops, chicken.... Even burgers. They can and will do in a pinch! I'm having a lot of fun right now experimenting with my Instant pot.

@@aimeewalls8208 thanks I'm just tire of cooking the same thing over and over and over but with a diabetic in the house I have to cook thing he can eat.

I surprised this was a question.

And it’s also not limited to the south. I live in NJ and my parents always get milk and bread when bad weather is coming. Then again they were both born and raised in South Carolina so what do I know 🤷‍♀️

I never really wondered why people bought milk and bread when there was a storm coming. I don’t get why people get frozen pizzas. I mean, if the power goes out, how are you gonna cook it?

Even if the power doesn't go out, who is driving out there if a whole snowflake fell and/or stuck??

Eclectic Chicken If you have a gas oven or stove you can cook it😂 I have electric so i’m screwed💀

lots of people especially those under the age of 25 havent had any home training .

Oh yes! So much so yes! My grandparents taught me my manners, and on every report card in elementary school I got high remarks for my "Wonderful manners! Such a great, and well mannered student!" They took pride in that!

@@ah5721 I agree with you. Home training is, for most, a forgotten art. IMHO, I wonder if alot of that also has to do with not having both parents in the home and also to some degree, a general falling away from religion. We have two late teen boys and they are wonderful. But we made sure they understood and respected authority. Too may kids don't get any of that these days.

you just blew my mind...I go to this one diner with a tea from the mcdonalds next door because of this

"Sorry, we don't serve Dr. Pepper, is Pepsi okay?"

🙋‍♀️❤

Bring it on.

I melt when they call me " suga"

Amen!!

I’m from Maine. I have absolutely no idea why anyone would ever like unsweet tea. 🤢

@@eclecticchicken5676 💖

I drink unsweetened tea because I have to watch my carbs. I have a legit medical excuse. 😊

You people don’t drink sweet tea. You drink SWEEEEEEET tea. P.S. the only thing that needs THAT much sugar is rhubarb pie!

if you ask for tea at our hardee's you better say unsweetened if you are diabetic because that shit with be sweet as shit

absolutely

I'm from a very old southern family and it is hard to get some parts of my family to look honestly at the ugly parts of that history. Just getting them to acknowledge the connection to the black families in the same small town who share the same, not at all common, last name was agonizing.

Sadly, when you say "The South" to most people not just in the northern United States, but the world over, they'll almost inevitably come back to at least one of four things: the Civil War, slavery, segregation/Jim Crow, and/or the Southern Cross flag. The problem is, as I pointed out to a friend about a month ago, 'The South' is like that fly that was caught in amber...it is stuck in that moment of time as far as most people are concerned. And sadly, just about every other stereotype emanates from there. Why? Well, I believe that part of it is that, like any historian will tell you, history is always written by the victors. The other is that I'm guessing that most of those stereotypes were heavily embellished - or even made up altogether - by northern writers looking to make fun of 'those Southerners'. (Thing is, just about every country/culture has that, a group that they can look down on and mock...here in Canada that would be people from the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, who are referred to as 'Newfies'.) Quite frankly, I'm disturbed by this current attitude of tearing down monuments and erasing names from history because of connections to a past that some find offensive, simply because it is offensive. As I've seen mentioned before, history is not there for you to like, history is there to teach you something. I'm not saying that we need to glorify certain things that should *not* be glorified, or as was said, just focus on the pleasant bits. No, I feel that we need to look at the whole picture, warts and all, in order to understand what has happened in the past so we can move on into a better future. (But then, I'm just an 'old stock' white Canadian guy of UK heritage, what do I really know about things? 😉)

@@davegreenlaw5654 No, you really don't anything about these statues. The overwhelming majority were not erected in the late 19th century. They were put up during the civil rights movement era of the 1950's and 1960's. Beyond that why should the Tennessee capital have a statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest, the founder of the KKK, in it which was placed there in the 1970's!, just as one notorious example. These "monuments" were erected by white supremacists to very directly say they were the ones in charge.

@@KenS1267 Forrest recognized the KKK was bad and left. He had only attended some meetings and found he didnt agree with them. He spent the rest of his life fighting with them, fighting for civil rights, and at his death in Memphis TN thousands of black Americans attended to honor his life.

I'm from the north. My response to that is a very genuine "but I wish I was."

Mine is “thank God I am now.”

I had the opposite experience last week or so- moved up north to be with my fiancee. I was at a meeting at my local VA, which I'm very new to, and the chair was asking me which team I'm for to make small talk outside. "Or do you just not do sports at all?" And I said "I'm a fan, but folks usually stop asking teams once they know I'm not from around here." She replies, "honey, _the second you open your mouth_, people know you're not from around here." 💀

👏👏👏

👏 😂

In my experience, and even as a Christian who loves everyone, I've seen more hate for the things you mentioned in the north than I ever have in the South. The South would be so much nicer if there were less Yankees. And, just because you live up north, that doesn't make you a Yankee. Being a Yankee is an ideology. When everything hits the fan, being Southern isn't every man for himself. It's, "Hey, y'all need help so you can come with us?" or just simply checking in on your neighbors to see if they need anything.

Exactly! Im Bisexual and i've yet to face issues and im proud to be southern and Christian.

Not the mention the large number of LGBT and minority groups.

Is Patricia the name of the woman in the pink dress? If so, I completely agree with you! She's AMAZING! Huge YES to more videos with her - LOTS MORE - please & thank you!!!

@@AB_Evans Yes! That's her! She's so great!!

yep, can relate ! I made the best egg salad just from the smell because I hate mustard for my Utah in-laws and they thought they had died and gone to heaven! Went to a bbq place in Utah .. you know what they gave me ?! 5 thin sad little slices of "brisket " with a pickle no okra and told me to get my own watery catsup with seasoning from a dispenser >:/ it was hell.

Same thing in Hawaii lol everyone gets a turn if you sass off to any elder lol

Right! I have at least 8 mommas lol

Takes a village to raise a child

One of the worst whoopin, was from my best friends mama

Woopen 😂

We were raised to do that it’s just normal

I can honestly say I’ve almost never heard “BYH” used in anything less than a heartfelt compliment/condolence way. Very rarely to “throw shade. “

I’ve heard both. I’m not from the south, but lived there for 2-3 years. Now when my friends say that someone said BYH to them, I say “hold up! Clarification is needed. In what context did they say it?”

This is an "order of operations" problem. If someone tells you that they have 3 family members who have tested positive for Covid, "Bless your heart" is a valid and sympathetic response. Now if you say something snide and follow it with "bless your heart"... that is just being ugly in a polite Southern way. Example: "That boy fell out of a stupid tree, and hit every branch on the way down... bless his heart"

I never use Bless Your Heart in any capacity other than affection or sympathy. Just not in me to do otherwise. But I can eye roll hard enough to give myself a concussion! And I cannot sleep if there is no bread or milk in the house, whether it is 98 degrees or blowing up a blizzard! 🤣

My mother always said, “Bless your little black heart,” which translated most accurately to a very polite but emphatic FU....

THANK YOU! I’m so tired of hearing that all of us in Alabama are inbred. Even if someone says it as a joke, it’s not even remotely funny.

@@crusadermemes8067 Oh hallelujah, someone that gets it! Usually I’m not that sensitive to dumb jokes, but why does everyone like to pick on Alabama for that? I’ve lived in Alabama for almost my entire life and I have never met any inbred or incestuous people.

For real, I live in Alabama and those inbred jokes get so old!

The incest jokes is really getting old

AMEN!! ❤️

When a Verizon call center opened in my hometown, I could tell the northerners who came down with the company by the guys that either didn't hold the doors open OR would hold the door after they'd already gone through it.

younglaster exactly

younglaster One of the first things you’ll notice up north. Gentlemen don’t hold the door for you. When people do it here I will always smile and say Thank you.

Holly Moore idk most people hold the door up north in my experience.

@@eleltoro Maybe you are from a central southern state? I spent my childhood in CA and most people didn’t unless you were directly behind them.

Or a granddaughter?!?!?!?!?!

@@aubreysummers1729 Get in line!😂

@@Kit.E.Katz45 😂 I will, I will!

Don't we have mosquitoes in common too? I heard that they were bad up there. I was shocked.

@@tonyawallace5297 oh yeah. We jokingly call mosquitoes the Alaskan state bird. They're HUGE-and there are a ton of them. In Fairbanks they want it to get to 50 below during the winter just so it kills a lot of the larve. Good times. Lol

Oh my gosh I’ve always been fascinated by Alaska and now I know why. It has a Southern heart.

As someone who lives in Alaska and came up from the South! This is so so true 😊

Very much so! I grew up in SC, and you can tell whether someone is from the Upstate or from Columbia or from Charleston.

@@sisterhoney61 indeed, the accent varies from east, middle and west TN. Its easy to tell where you're from if you've lived herein enough to know the differences.

Don't forget Atlanta is a place all on it's own.

Exactly! And that's the case all over the country. We do have regional accents even if not as many as the UK!

@@Cent4man What's the difference between middle and west, east is easy to distinguish.

We thankyee!

We write thank you notes. And in a timely fashion

So, you still drink sweet tea. We don't discriminate. haha!

I'm from Wisconsin. I always say please and thank you. I will say I don't wave at strangers or talk to them unless they talk to me first, but I'm rather shy. I find it awkward to just start a conversation with someone I don't know.

Or on the fat of your leg where it makes more sound than actually hurting you.

And it happened the “INSTANT” you did something wrong. No warning, no count down, no “I mean it this time”.

Can we all agree that North Carolina has the best manners?

@@josiahalcorne born and raised in North Carolina and no we don't lol. Just being honest.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Snowcream is the BEST.

DO NOT EAT YELLOW SNOW!!!!!

My sister is from NYC but has lived in Atlanta for 25 years. When it freezes over, she gets out her ice skates. They don't have enough salt to melt the ice because, why would you keep that handy if you only need it once every few years, so the ice builds up and you can skate.

Lord have mercy, yesssssss! I couldn’t wait for it to snow when I was little, mamaw always made snow cream out of the second snow of the year. She’d make a big ol mixing bowl full. I thought that was the best stuff I had ever ate in my entire life. ❤️🥰 You know it is true, there ain’t nothing like your Mamaws or Mommas cooking. Even if it was something as simple as snow cream, to me hers was the best. No body can do it like they can!! You sure do miss that when they pass on. 😢

@@katelynthompsonturner3083 I agree! Btw, Mayfield Dairy sold 1/2 gallons of "Snow Cream" ice cream. Idk if it's still available, but I bought it a few years back at my local Kroger, Winn-Dixie, & The Pig in central Alabama. No, _of course_ it wasn't as good as homemade, but it was tasty!

It's true. It's called being kind and caring to someone you don't even know. People really appreciate being noticed. It is like telling someone that they are important. I speak to strangers daily.

🙌

I dated a girl from Canada at one time. She was super polite but Canadian polite not Southern polite. She was a bit of a fish out of water.

She hasn't been on I-75.

I hear ya

True 90 miles a hr on I-95 is normal

Come on down.. we'll welcome you with open arms!

Lol "a few feet of snow" doesn't exist south of Tennessee

You would definitely be welcomed. Some of us just stay home so we can play in the snow and roast marshmallows by the fireplace. I even got a picture of individual snow flakes once......simply beautiful.

Keep your citizenship so you can have decent healthcare and move to where the have Canadian medical centers. Usually Florida.

we can drive a few hours to the mountains and go skiing and come back to the beach...its great!

y'all, not ya'll.😘

@@younglaster sorry. Posting too quickly.

Y'all (correctly pronounced "yawwwl") is the singular form. The plural is "awwwl yawwwl". Get that down!

Sounds good.

Or yinz (the Pittsburghese equivalent to y’all) if in western PA.

Never say never! You never know where this life (or the next) will take you.

You should definitely come visit sometime. It might be a big culture shock at first because the southern US is like the polar opposite of Germany, especially northern Germany, but I think you will love it. 😊 (I lived in the Wiesbaden area for three years when I was a teenager.)

I know this is an old post, but if you get to visit I know the people who settled here from Germany would love to have you. Especially here in Texas. My family settled in North Texas but if you want a good blend of Texas and it’s culture you should visit San Antonio. San Antonio would also give you easy access to Austin and Fredericksburg.

yah I went up north for a job and those assholes didn't even wave at me when we drove past one another

Most places in the world don’t do that. See it as a special thing, but also realize that many parts of the world rather mind their own business (especially East Asia).

I wave so much, I do it at night too

@Jessica B. My mom moved back to Korea after living in the US for almost over 25 years... she and a stranger made eye contact and she gave a smile to her... and ended up feeling weird about it since it was replied with a weirded out look from her. For me personally I’m fine with no interactions from strangers since I’m an introvert but my mom, an extrovert, had to remind herself to stop doing that.

Know its really late, but I had that issue when I visited family in Pittsburgh. I live in a smaller city in Georgia and everywhere I go even the sketchier places that look more like Atlanta when you pass someone you say "hello" "good morning" and tip your head a little bit. Almost like you were tipping your hat. Now not everyone, but you greet someone when passing. Did that in Pittsburgh like I have done for years and they looked at me like my head was on fire.

Unsweetened tea is hell

We are a little different 😂

Texas isn't really the south, Texas is Texas.

@@dhwave1 Was just about to comment this. Texas is our own thing, NOT the South!

That is some serious shade.

The only part of Texas that is the South is East Texas. Go to Tyler and tell me Texas isn’t the South. The rest of it is Texas.

@@sonsoftexas Nah, even East Texas is closer to Texas than it is to the South.

👍👍

Yep!!

I get that too. I have virtually no accent and have preferred my iced tea unsweetened since birth.

I'm born and raised in deep south, yet have zero accent. I just find it funny when people can't place where I'm from.

I grew up in New Orleans and have very little accent too. People are surprised when I say where I’m from. Then they inevitably start calling it naw’lins and it kills me. Like please no.

@@christinajackson2662 I have family there - they don't say Nawlins, but they dont say it like a Yankee either ;) their accents are subtle, but there are some interesting ones, like the old school Irish Channel pattern - probably pretty rare now.

I am from NC, my mom is from Al and my dad is from Ok. I only have an accent when I am really tired. No one ever knows where I am from until I tell them.

Indeed! We in the South reconciled with each other 50 years ago. The North is just now getting around to it!

@@user-tq3rr8vy2w "Civil Rights Movement" and yes, absolutely. New Orleans is rather special, though. It's not like Memphis.

@@user-tq3rr8vy2w yes that was definitely a thing but thankfully there were places, like where my grandfather grew up, where this was not the case and there was a mixing of races even back in the 40s and 50s. Heck my dad grew up in a podunk Louisiana town and there it didn't matter if you were white, black, latino, etc, people were either a good person or a bad person, didn't matter what color their skin was.

It's always been the politicians (and now MSM) that want to keep people divided (racially, culturally, economically, and regular people sometimes fall for the trap unfortunately.

Apparently, things had improved after the war because my dad grew up in Looziana (as we said it), and there were prejudices when he was a kid in the 1930s.

So true 👍
