"being a lifelong belle myself, I can honestly say that I often repeat Scarletts words to myself and act them out"

Actually, I always thought it was adaptive. Have you ever noticed that southern women don't seem to be plagued with depression the way so many are in other places? I think that maybe this attitude is one reason. It reflects kind of a tenacity and refusal to give in to defeat in the face of an overwhelming circumstance and helps to keep things in perspective.

I'm currently sitting here at home in Nashville (not far from traitor Al and Tipsy) early on a Friday for me with my mom (miss mississippi 1952), my tennessee belle wife, and two teenaged daughters.

And I went to Jackson Prep and Ole Miss.

I have a doctoral degree in Southern Belle studies...

AND: I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
