LOL, I always find it hilarious and a little bit infuriating that outsiders still believe that kind of garbage about TN. There are very few, if any, people that live like that here. There are still a few mountain people that live a little primitively but the rest of us are very modern and nothing at all like you see on the Beverly Hillbillies. When we hear people make comments like that we always laugh and think it's amazing how stupid people really are. The only true thing that was said in your post is that we are raised right. We are taught good manners from birth and don't mind working hard.

Well Melinda, if you can read, you'll see I'm not an outsider. I was born in Blythe County, and yes, when I was growing up in Tennessee it WAS like that!!! No, I changed my mind, I made it all up just for fun! Maybe YOU grew up on a large farm, but I didn't. Nowhere in any post did I say it's like that now. Matter of fact, if you read, I said just the opposite. And, just because we went to the spring for our water, or used an outhouse, doesn't mean it was a bad thing. We had a lot of fun and learned to appreciate what we do have rather than complain about what we don't have!
