"...Yankees were not often well received in certain parts of the south that I went to..."

Only the ones that want to impose their way. ;-)

But, I'm pretty certain that's more of a universal problem. For instance, just as I know that people in the upper northwest get tired of hearing how things should be done by migrating Californians.

Hell, we get people from the western part of the state telling us how their BBQ sauce is sooo much better... My response to them is the same: "Save it for somebody that gives a damn." ;-)

Cheers!

LOL...I found that to some guys from the South, there were some places the Civil War was not over.

Actually, most of the joshing ribbing and verbal abuse was mostly for show...and I kind of enjoyed it.

Of course, I would always tell them that even though I live in Massachusetts, I was born in Virginia. That always bought me enough room to get to know my tormenter...:)
