Also, in my case, I am paranoid about them not liking me since I found out they hate Yankees, and so I go out of my way not to ruffle any feathers by questioning them or being assertive. I grew up in some bad areas, but I'll tell you, I've never been as screwed as much as I've been down here. Luckily, I know not EVERYONE is bad. I just have to get better at figuring out which is which. www.GreenerPastures--ACityGirlGoesCountry.blogspot.com People from other areas are prime targets for the bad guys because we put down our guard when we hear that sweet southern drawl and think everyone is nice and honest.
