LOL, she’s black so I suspect hers is high anyway. She grumps at me to lose weight while she’s over-weight.
When we went to the country restaurant to eat lunch last Sunday, the cook was talking to us and pushing the special. Everything was fried. I told her I had to have something grilled because my doctor was grumping at me to lose 10 pounds. She said, “what the H for? That doctor is nuts. You are so tiny already.” She asked how old I was, and I told her 68. She asked how many meds I take. I told her I take one and I’m trying another one. She said that if that’s all that’s wrong with me at 68 that I need to tell that doctor to leave me alone because I’m doing just fine and better than most. LOL
When we left, the cashier and I discussed covid and the vax. For a backwoods type, she is very educated on what the vax is doing to people and wasn’t shy about saying so either.
What can I say? It’s the backwoods of rural TN.
Rural folks are used to being ignored and forgotten until election time which loosely translates into independent thinkers with good instincts and survival abilities.
Can they be fooled? Yes, but you’ll rue the day you tried. And when the world goes to hell, guess who’s gonna be at the top of the survival pyramid…..
Great story! A real lift to hear from the uncooperative who decline to be beaten about their head and shoulders. I loved that.
Now comes this... and what to make of it?
Who has ever seen a column-title and its link copy itself like this! From JPMorgan!
My cousin is a farmer in western TN. Very conservative but surrounded by blue farmers.
