Of my 3 sons 2 were born in NC and one is (GASP!) a Yankee-born in Syracuse. Don't want to upset other NC natives, but guess what 2 sons lack a bit in the common sense department? Of course, it could be my husband's gene pool. I guess I will never know, LOL!

Ha! I was born and raised in Kansas. Kansans were eager for the civil war. It didn't have anything to do with slavery or breaking up the union. It was all about getting back at Missouri.

I now live in the south, but yes, yankees do seem to have a little more common sense(and professional plumbing.)

Hey, we have professional plumbers in the South.

They are listed in the yellowpages under "Honeydippers".

(Can you tell I grew up in the country, LOL!)

I was born and raised in Kansas also, still live here, lived here all but 5 years. I love the dry witted, common sense Kansas folk! Have to disagree on the common sense yankees though, lived in the great lake area for those 5 years, coming home was a breath of fresh air. I always say Kansas is a great place to live, but wouldn't want to visit there.
