Finally, after so long, I'm moving down south, to South Carolina. Got a job, signed a lease on an apartment, and I'm gonna get my first car down there. Things are looking up, and I hope that down the line, I'm making the right decision.
Congrats!
Remember to enjoy sweet tea, pecan pie and Waffle House.
Where in SC? If you come through Virginia, look us up.
“””Do not make the mistake a lot of northern s do, just because the good folks talk slow they are not slow thinkers.”””
I had a northern buddy in Texas who said that he made that mistake, he said he took it in the shorts on 3 business deals in his antique dealings before he learned to look past that “aw shucks” “just an ol Texas boy antique dabbler” persona.
You’ve picked a great state in South Carolina. Nice folks everywhere.
If SC had been a warmer climate, I’d live THERE instead of Florida.
So... you’re emigrating to America. Welcome.
And grits. Donāt forget the grits.
A learning experience for sure.
I went to school in NJ but Southern through at least 10 generations . . . people ARE different down here.
As a free bonus, here is a quick field guide to Southern women . . . 3 insufferable debs, one older lady, and a genuine Redneck.
$#!+ Southern Women Say Note the reference to Clemson . . .
Consider the video a supplement to this extremely useful book:
I have identified all of the types in this field guide, and just about every word of it is accurate. I am a "That Child" as in "I don't know what I'm going to do with that child."
Good luck. Try not to be into much of a rush.
Super excited for you as you start your next chapter in life. Best of everything with new job, new apartment, new car, new friends. And be especially careful in the grocery stores, people maneuver their carts much more slowly and if you are operating with a northeast hurry up pace you will very annoyingly run into many rear ends and heels. Slow and steady gets the job done vs. race and rush no matter where you go.š
Summer NEVER sucks ā¦ thatās why God invented cold beerā¦
A friend here in CA moved to SC last year and loves it. Congrats!
8 days is a long time to try to survive in NYC.
I keep reading that ZapTek has the highest reviews.

Itās a great place. Enjoy the Smokies
When I moved out of a city into a calm suburb I felt as if I was āon guardā all the time. I would think, āWhy are they being nice to me.ā
After a while, you realize that in a very large part of the world, people are really nice. Things will slow down for you. Your blood pressure will drop. And you will realize that thing on your faceā¦is sunshine. And you will only take cabs to the airport.
Put a little butter, salt and pepper in those grits...You’ll love ‘em....
Sorry SC is full. Jk. We are having so many noertherns or Cali folks moving here. Just don’t act like a Yankee and be prepared for awful driving. Be patient. Too many ppl are bringing their crappy northern attitudes.
A lot of good posts. That one made me laugh. Aināt that the truth.
Been working in MS.
and staying in downtown Memphis for almost 2 years.
Patience is a Virtue.
