Greetings Mrs. Ranger:

So much for the "dumb hillbilly" myth. ;)

Not hillbilly, Appalachian-American.

Cheers,
OLA

"Not hillbilly, Appalachian-American."

No, according to the "rules" of PC,ggg, since I was born and raised in WV, I *am* "entitled" to use the term "hillbilly" and make all the "hillbilly" jokes I want.:P

I'm damn proud of my heritage and learned long before there was such a thing as "PC" that by embracing the term and making it my own I was nullifying the "power" of those who attempt to use it in a derogatory fashion.:P

aka: Yep, I got "fetchins" too. ;)
