You best check how lenient they are on chronic violent criminals for multiple probations. They were conned by libtards to be like Cali.

Welcome to the South.

Grits are good, but you don’t put syrup on them.

Buy an inexpensive smoker and start practicing.

If you decide to buy/own guns, you go to the gun store, get the NICS check and leave with one.

F150, Silverado, Ram….pick your flavor.

And start reading up on college football

Same can be said for far too many places in the South, now. Truly sad.

I went to visit my friend in Charleston last summer; it was pretty hot. I’m used to hot and humid summers up here. Charleston was gorgeous, the city proper had a small-town feel, and it felt great. I was in a city, but not surrounded by skyscrapers, garbage and crappy people. It was overall a wonderful experience.

My certificate of completion for fire and life safety director is the only ‘certification’ I have. I want to get out of it though; besides, I’d need to get that city’s licenses. I wouldn’t be able to work without it.

My hair stylist’s son went to Huntsville with his girlfriend, who is from there. He is from Arizona. The day after they arrived, he walked into a medical manufacturing company and asked if they had any positions for delivery drivers (which he had been doing in AZ). They hired him on the spot.

*************

Normality can change for sure. Also take into account the
foreigners that you are accustomed to being with will most
likely change also. They are wading across the Rio Grande
by the truck loads. Fortunately they are being shipped out
of state by the bus/truck loads. We are currently in North
Carolina and they are here by the bus loads during crop
planting and harvesting season. Also a lot of them have
their wife and children with them. Rest on Sunday and back
to the for planting/tending/harvesting...When I moved from
Texas I had to slow down my pace of speaking to about one
third of my normal tempo... But it is nice here and learning
about a new culture is interesting.

My hometown. We’ve been calling it C.A.R.Y. since the 80s 😂🤣

And yeah, now Raleigh is the place where a middle-aged D-bag wearing spandex and riding on an $8,000 bicycle will set fire to the Trump sign in your yard.

Sounds like the D-bag found a way to make some cash.

I 100 percent recommend you not do that. Not only is it stupid, but it’s offensive to Southerners. In some cases, it can be deserving-a punch-in-the-face offensive. Or—as a friend of mine did while working at a diner in Myrtle Beach—dumped an entire pitcher of iced tea in the guy’s lap for mimicking her accent. She got fired, but as she said, “so worth it.”

My sister in law is a DY and she crosses the boundaries all the time to the point that my brother will not take her to family reunions or introduce her to the Southern side of the family. They’ve been married 12+ years and she’s still never met any of them. Hell, she even offended the West coast side of the family because she’s so damn obnoxious.

I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it either, but found it to be somewhat humorous & informative. Most people I know would not get upset over someone casually teasing them about their southern accent. Besides, there is a wide range of so-called Southern accents. Someone from Dallas is going to sound different than a person from west Texas or Mississippi.

Opposite for my brothers and me. When I was 15, our family moved from Houston to Bark River, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. I could only understand a third, eh?

I think it might be southern style to weed out candidates who were as impatient as I was. Southerners are welcome to confirm or deny.

Admittedly, Southerners may tend to stonewall Yankee applicants. We get tired of Yankees coming down here, clogging up the roads, because even the best of them have a tendency to tell us what to do and how to live.

Good advice. Never bad mouth anything in a job interview.

One thing to keep in mind is they Charjeston and surrounding areas Luke Daniel Island, Mt Pleasant, Sullivsns Island are some of the most expensive real estate in the country. Look on Redfin fior housing to get an idea. Maybe try Summerville, Goose Creek, West Ashley or Columbia.
