Most people will only change when the pain becomes unbearable, and most of us will make decisions based less than the whole truth, or fact(s)....
Howdy folks: Here we go again with some more great tales about the Southland...
Many stories have been handed down, most all of them teach a real life lesson... Our family has had story tellers, in each generation, and now it is my turn, as a Grandfather now, a few times over.... So we will have some of these tales from time to time on this blog... Sit back and enjoy, remember you are suppose to learn something as well...

We need to thank and pray for the veterans who went before us...
Memorial Day.... Remember the veterans, especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice...
The Memorial day celebration was started by Southern women, contrary to : some news reports, since there has been a tradition for over two hundred years; in the South, called Decoration Sunday, where relatives go out , in the spring of the year, to local graveyards and clean and put in good order the graves of both loved ones and any others in need... This was done in the South after the Civil war, as many had relatives who were buried there.. O ... read more Be a blessing and learn to help your neighbors... 19 y
Southerners are some of the most helpful people on the face of the earth...
What we don’t know will slow us down, but the truth will prevail....
In the spirit of the Southern traditions; I have found that no matter which race is involved the out look and results are much the same.. If not identical!! We all have the same aspirations, hopes and dreams... To progress is in human nature... We all want our children, friends, neighbors and relatives to be content sharing in the human experience(s).... We are all children of GOD; remember that!!!

What ever is true, can not be changed because someone removes part of it. The truth the whole truth so help me GOD; is that which we seek...
Now we have made some observations on the validity if an argument form...
For any argument to be valid; all of its premise(s) must support the stated conclusion, or result(s).... So when someone wants to just, eliminate, eradicate, or remove facts, which are based on the truth, they have moved into what would be considered an invalid argument form... Thus the conclusion, or result of their statement would be faulse... In other words remove the truth, and believe a lie....
Such things do not go on; some would say... But to their demise since on ... read more Is the City of Atlanta tiring to rewrite history?? 19 y
Just because you don't like history doesn't mean that you get rid of it......
Dear friends:
People need to learn that you do not have to throw away all your knowledge, in order to build a better community; Just need to make room for something more...
To rewrite or ignore your own history, is especially not only stupid, wrong, but sheer folly.... The only thing one accomplishes in doing so, is to try to live a lie and then attempt to have others who follow to believe that lie... This is apparently what the City of Atlanta, GA is attempting to do....

Ever since i was a wee lad, we were taught to look out for the rights of others... Especially the poor, the widows, and the fatherless children... This was a for most duty in our lives... We were taught to love and care for women...

Manners are the bounders of the society... Without which we are just a pack of animals..
Many manners were passed down by mothers, GOD bless them all, refer to "Road Warriors" blog for a poem to mothers, where ever they are....
The whole of society is based on the acceptance of each other as persons... We each are unique and all have our own ways .... But to exist in a larger, society, group we must learn certain manners to keep out selves in a coherent and stable existance... The family is that unit.. The southern family was taught to try and follow certain manners... These were the difference between human and animals.. ... read more Why is everybody down on DIXIE??? 19 y

Remembering back a ways, i see those southern girls still running thru my mind...

Because she was always passing me notes in class... stuff like hi, what are you doing after school?? i tried hard to ignore her, but if you know anything about females when ever they want something there is just about not any stopping her... ... read more What did they do with the South?? 19 y

The question for some time has been what did they do with the South??
Down in St Pete, Fla where spent my adolescence years, you could not get a parking space at the mall from thanksgiving till april.... The car tags were, from: MA,MI,IL,OH,NY,NJ mainly yankeeland...... It was so nice when the snowbirds, went back home.....

Some times we forget to mind our own business....
During the course of a day, nearly everybody has opportunties to react with other people.... ” It is how we act or react with others that shows our upbring...” My dear ole Grandmotther used to say... We called her BigMama, but not for the normal reasons for such a name.... Rather Since I am the oldest grandchild, my mother, was Mama, and in my wee brain, then the older lady must be Big Mama.... So the name stuck, and she was not a large lady....
Since my nearly worthless father, more on him later, {that is a book in it self} was gone most of the time, and my mother was a RN, she had ... read more Southern Belles or GRITS ( girls raised in the south) 19 y

Growing up in Dixie, as a dirt poor white boy... A story of the southland...
I was born in the land of cotton, on one frosty morning... The 11th of January in my grandmother’s house in Hazlehurst, Ga.... USA, to be exact. My uncle Joe raised Hunting dogs, hound dogs, for fox & coons.... All my uncles were in WWII, most did not talk much about it though... Learned about white lighting and how to shoot by the age of 10, and started bird hunting w. Granddaddy while in the fourth grade... More on that later... Dixie is delightful....
