"Fatalie" LOL
Well, I'm from Texas and have lived in Atlanta and Nashville for some time. I don't consider Texas to be in the South but consider Texas to be Texan. I don't know why it is often referred to as being in the South other than perhaps a lot of people from the South settled in Texas, it was a state of the Confederacy or it's in the southern part of the U.S., all of which depends on your point of reference.
Oh, BTW, I'm embarrassed that Natalie is from Texas.
Ditto!
