No, the folks.  I guess I just think slower or something..... :confused:

Being a "Yankee" is a matter of perspective I think. I was born and raised in Southern WV and have always considered myself "southern" because I grew up basically on the border of TN and VA and way south of the Mason Dixon line. I know how important it is to brew sweet tea and I've eaten every type of "green" known to mankind w/fatback, cornbread or biscuits. I can eat potatoes w/anything and I think grits are universal (breakfast or dinner) :biggrin: To my surprise, the folks in Arkansas where my father lived, considered me a Yankee because 1)I was born north of TN and 2) because WV split from Virginia during the Civil War. 3) I talk fast ;D

So, I'm curious...

What happened? :biggrin:

I had a new employee in my office yesterday.  She was from Brooklyn, New York.  I always chit chat with the new employees, I'm a very outgoing person.  It was very obvious, she did not want to talk to me.  All business!!  I got the impression she thought I was ignorant, I've been told by Southerners that my accent is really thick...  Maybe it was just me....

Rounding first....

I doubt it was just you. Unfortunately, sometimes people tend to lean towards what they know from stereotypes and neglect to give others a chance, so that they can form their own opinion. Thinking of New York, until I visited the state, I had always associated the entire state with the city and assumed that everyone was hurried or rude. Upstate NY is nothing like the city and the people that I met were very welcoming and nice and would probably enjoy a lengthy conversation about "not much". And while it's true that the city is "busy", I even thought the people there were friendly. I had no trouble asking for information, etc., the 1st time I visited. So, when I encounter people like that, I tend to think they're probably shy and embarrassed by the fact that they don't know what to say to someone who's obviously intelligent enough to talk about everything. :biggrin:

Probably not your imagination BBM! I am from Chicago and folks in Indiana seem to be intimidated by my "accent". I find it challenging to build trust with people here because of this! :icon_evil:

11 doesn't make any sense.  She has a myspace, and every couple of weeks she changes her picture.  So today she asks me why I changed mine.....uhm....because I wanted to?   deeeee    LOL
Looks like I've come full circle.
