Although I personally do not own a gun....Sue is right lots of people here in

the mountains do own them. This may account for us having the lowest crime

rate in the nation. Guess that is one of the reasons they call it " Almost

Heaven " .

rural traditions because you don't understand them. I

can understand your disgust with gravy-on-everything

a tradition in the South, as is hunting. It's part of

our heritage and a tradition we treasure. Please do

not equate that tradition with abusive husbands. It

just ain't so, girls. I do believe battered women are

threatened with guns no matter where they live. And

please spare me the " poor Bambi " thing. Hunting

supervised by the Dept. of Wildlife supplies food for

many and protects wildlife from starvation. The deer

population is closely monitored and hunting season is

based on overpopulation of the deer herd. By the way,

venison is very low fat, probably much healthier than

store-bought beef, and is very tasty if prepared

properly. You haven't lived until you've eaten smoked

backstrap. So, dear friends, we Southerners don't

mind when you rant about our food, we can rant right

back. But this country was discovered and explored by

rugged individualists who toted guns and ate what they

hunted. We're proud of that tradition and don't take

kindly to " northners " trashing it. (Hope you know I'm

giggling here and you should take this rant with the

humor it was intended) However, if our civilized

society crashed, God please forbid it, us backwoods

redneck hunters will be eating chicken-fried venison

and mashed potatoes. What will you be eating in New

York City? >>

Very well said Judy.....BTW the way I am sure you know what a Yankee and a

hemmeroid have in common.

If they come down and go back......no problem.

If they come down and stay they can really be a huge pain in the butt (no

offense Sue) LOL

I do however want to thank you for your very descriptive

will keep me on my diet this week.

I'll take our serical killers, stalkers and thieves rather

than eat squirrel stew. LOL

oh, you can bet none of that is on my plate! it had better

Ah yes Sue, but what are your wife beaters and perverts using for

weapons? Have to tell you, anyone that flashes a dead pigs head or feet

in my face can do what they want to me. Gun or knife, I'll take my

chances and fight. What can I say, NY mentality.

guns are big time here - this is hunting country - even the

schools and businesses close for the first day of hunting

season! not a pick up goes by without a gun rack in the

back window - can you imagine carrying your big ole rifle in

your vehicle?!

80% of the women I work with [battered womens shelter]

report that the abuser has guns and has threatened them with

them.

guns are big ego trip for some of the men here and the guys

don't respect them for the sole use of hunting - they get

drunk or are just stupid and use them like a toy or the evil

weapon they can be.

it is a different mentality than NY - its not a gang or

pervert hiding the weapon. these are men who are proud of

their guns!

thanks for your support,Bill, loved the joke. Hope I

didn't offend anyone. Dennis I'm not, but I do

love to rant. Love to everyone, even you dear sweet

New Yorkers! I think you all (that's right I said YOU

ALL) have already showed the country how much true

grit you have. I know, I know, what's a grit?

LOL. When I moved to Texas from Massachusetts I saw a

bumper sticker that said " The only thing a Texan fears

worse than a Yankee is a Yankee with a U Haul truck "

LOL

to be confused with a NY Yankee fan of which I am

not....However, we won't even mention the Red

Sox!!!!!!gasp, choke, gasp)

Way to go, Judy! Just one more southern born and raised chickie

here! No, I don't eat racoon...but venison is one of our household

staples. It's lean & tasty if you know how to cook it and even some

southerners don't cook it well.

I'm from Arkansas, but have lived in Alabama for the past 15 years.

There are so many deer in this state that you are ALWAYS seeing their

bodies on the side of the road where they have run in front of a

car. To thin the population is to keep those poor animals from

starving to death.

See Ya!

That's me for sure. My parents & grandparents were jet setters of a sort.

They brought home baby octopus in a jar, things that shoulda been crawling

or swimming or otherwise still alive, very bizarre things, I'm telling you.

I liked LETTUCE and APPLES and POTATOES and peanut butter & jelly

sandwiches. Anything much beyond that was WAY too exotic for my growing up

taste. Like you, lamb is for a pet, not to go with mint jelly.
