52 Days And Counting ( Time Needs To Go Faster}

Only fifty two days till one of the biggest fan run, pop culture conventions in the US begins in Atlanta. So far the guest lineup has over 350 actors, musicians, authors, and artists attending. While this convention is about half the size of Comic Con in San Diego, this one is not industry run, but instead ran by fans of every genre. Panels and demonstrations on just about every subject are continuous throughout the con. Dances and music, and parties happen every night at the 4 hotels the convention has taken over and sold out and a huge parade that anyone who attends the con can be a part of. If you want to have a great time and I do mean a really great time, and make new friends. Come to Dragon Con in Atlanta over "Labor Day" Weekend. This is not a paid advertisement.
( I wish it was, I could use the money for con)

Southern girls know their prime real estate:The Mall, The Spa The Beauty Salon.
Southern girls know the 3 deadly sins:Having bad hair and nails , Having bad manners, Cooking bad food. More Suthen-ism's: Only a Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption fit, And that you don't "HAVE" them, you "PITCH" them. Only a Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens, peas, beans, etc., make up "a mess." Only a Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of "yonder."Only a Southerner knows exactly how long "directly" is, as in: "Going to town, be back drekly (directly). Even Southern babies know that "Gimme some sugar" is not a request for the white, granular, sweet substance that sits in a pretty little bowl in the middle of the table. All Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is. They might not use the term, but they know the concept well. Only a Southerner knows instinctively that the best gesture of solace for a neighbor who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold potato salad. If the neighbor's trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large banana puddin'! Only Southerners grow up knowing the difference between "right near" and "a right far piece." They also know that "just down the road" can be 1 mile or 20. Only a Southerner both knows and understands the difference between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and Po white trash. No true Southerner would ever assume that the car with the flashing turn signal is actually going to make a turn. A Southerner knows that "fixin" can be used as a noun, a verb, or an adverb. Only Southerners make friends while standing in lines ... And when we're "in line,"... We talk to everybody! Put 100 Southerners in a room and half of them will discover they're related, even if only by marriage. In the South, y'all is singular, all y'all is plural. Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat them. Every Southerner knows tomatoes with eggs, bacon, grits, and coffee are perfectly wonderful; that red eye gravy is also a breakfast food; and that fried green tomatoes are not a breakfast food. When you hear someone say, "Well, I caught myself lookin'," you know you are in the presence of a genuine Southerner! Only true Southerners say "sweet tea" and "sweet milk." Sweet tea indicates the need for sugar and lots of it -- we do not like our tea unsweetened. "Sweet milk" means you don't want buttermilk. AND a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. You just say, "Bless her heart"... And go your own way. To those of you who are still a little embarrassed by your Southerness: Take two tent revivals and a dose of sausage gravy and call me in the morning. Bless your heart! And to those of you who are still having a hard time understanding all this Southern stuff...bless your hearts, I hear they are fixin' to have classes on Southernness as a second language! And for those that are not from the South but have lived here for a long time, all y'all need a sign to hang on y'alls front porch that reads "I'm not from the South, but I got here as fast as I could." Southern women know: Men may come and go, but friends are fahevah!Now Shugah, send this to someone who was raised in the South or wishes they had been! If you're a Northern transplant, bless your little heart, fakeit! We know you got here as fast as you could.
