I never knew I was anything but an American before I came on FR and heard so much talk about Yankee this and Yankee that.

We are .. just like southerns are .. and those out west .. and in the fly over states

Though, yes we all americans .. we are all a part of history in one form or another .. just like our famlies before us are.

I'm sorry that I have spoken about the Yankee thing .. It was done in humor and not meant to upset so many.

Maybe that's my big error, as my history isn't that deep, and don't apologize to me Mo, as it doesn't upset me.. I am used to how most of us kid and rag on each other, and have for years.

I just hate to see it upset others that may not be used to our way of talking to each other. I think some may read more into it than we do. Just don't make it so hugh and series, yanowhatimean?

Sometimes we're a hard bunch to figure out, and it can't be easy. ;)

Smooooooooooooooooooch!

Now where did I put my gun????

Why be sorry? I think most of us appreciate your yankeeness....and your sense of humor about it.

Speaking of which....we are having fun with our class yankee. She is just such a....yankee. Hehehehe....but she's a good sport. Actually, there's another one (from Indiana). She's having a hard time accepting the prevalence of guns in Ozark households. She's also the most politically correct of the lot, so I rather enjoy rattling her cage. She was a lawyer before becoming a caseworker. The other non-southerner in the class is from California. That about says it all.

No one is upset with you, Mo*. Now if you insist on dishing up a big hunk of one of your famous cakes we cannot be responsible for what happens.
