I grew up in North Shore Boston area. I had no idea we were such A- holes, until I moved to southern AZ. Strangers said hello to me on the streets...I would glare at them. Someone started talking to me at the urinal, in a bar. I was like, wtf dude. I'm pissin. Kick rocks homo!
When I came back home, I realized I was a changed man. I look back at that angry kid and can't believe it was me.

I came to that realization when I was stationed down in FL a buncha years ago.. Since I was up on the panhandle, it was commonly referred to as "L.A.", or "Lower Alabama". Not sure if it was condescending because a lot of the locals embraced the "redneck." I came across as a very brash, angry dude, but what they didn't know, was that I was only brash, and only a little angry, but that was life, not my culture.. Once I moved back up to MA, I felt a little outta sorts at first because everyone sucked and had very little in the way of manners.. At least a total stranger will hold a door for you or your wife when walking into a bldg in the south; not so much up here..

I think there's a lot to be said about the, "caged animal", phrase, as we literally all just packed into a tiny area like sardines, and wonder why everyone is in such foul moods!!! I still have a lot of the "Southern hospitality" in my character, mostly from living down there for a while.. Loved the place and can't wait to move back!!
 
Toronto has an estimated population of 2.81 million in 2016. The greater census metropolitan area (CMA) has a much larger population of 5.5 million. I live in what is refered to the CMA . Now I call that " Rats in A Trap " and the behaviour exhibited by people living under those conditions is truly like trapped animals as it is in most heavily populated areas . :nono:
 
Good Morning AFN
@Eclectic Elle I'll trade you a drizzly for an -10 any day of the week . :biggrin: We went from + 10 to - 10 in less than 8 hours :nono:

Good morning 9Bear, Archie, Elle, Stoners I may have missed. Hey Tom. Tell you all what,. y'all can have all of this pea soup fog you want. It's perfect for you. You won't see the snow, drizzle, or the thermometer.
:smokeout:

Come on back down brother. We are the best kept secret going. Lots to not like about some of the culture and inhabitants of the South, but when it hits the fan people here run towards trouble, not away from it.

Being Agnostic can have its challenges down here. Not sure religion is king down here, but church is. Too bad they are not one and the same. I sit at the side watching the world go by.
 
LOL as a top heavy woman I shouldn't laugh really but... hell yeah I should! Nothing wrong with getting an eyeful of cleavage!

Have a fab day folks, I'll be back later. I have grocery shopping to do as well as starting to get new clothes in anticipation of a new job round the corner (here's hoping!). See you later!

Thanks Elle!
We are simple creatures. we really work in a world of pre programmed responses that we learned in the first 7 years of life. Still, I think every guy likes to admire the opposite sex. There is beauty in every woman. Even my ex. Especially her.

And yes, I saw her cleavage. :biggrin:
