Would you like a little cheese with your WINE? I grew up in a big city, hated the snow! I live in the deep south and would not live any where else. I have moved in my adult life to at least 6 states and have made friends and felt welcome in all of them. Maybe you need to adjust to your suroundings, when in Rome kind of thing. Learn to like NASCAR(think Jersey Turnpike in a cab) and enjoy. As we say, American by birth, Southern by the Grace of God.

Eats some donuts and coffee and shout some abuse out the window of the car, thats what they do in NY isn't it?Originally posted by THE BOUNCERWhat do I do about being homesick? thanks for listening to my rant.
Perhaps don't shout out the window, someone might blow your head off round there, from what I here :rofl:

I know the feeling. It was rough when I first moved here from up north too. It is a culture shock to be sure.
What is taken for "southern hospitality" down here is what we would call "two faced" up north. Down here, you can't be certain what the person you are talking to really thinks about you. They will smile and be friendly even if they don't like you. Up north, there is no ambiguity where you stand with someone. If they don't like you, they will let you know up front either by telling you or by their body language.
It's a lot to get used to. And the WEATHER. Don't get me started on the heat in the summer down here. I spent my first summer hugging the air conditioner. I still haven't really adjusted to the heat and I have been here for 10 years already.
