thought of that as the deep south. We think of it as the northern most of southern states.

Deep south - only hog I know is as in
pigs.
People are more polite in the deep south. There is a sense of decorum.
q!
I am in a biracial marriage, not thick skinned, live in the deep south, have
a mixed daughter who is 32 years old and she told me going to school she had the best of both worlds. Live in a very nice mixed neighborhood, just don’t know where this person lives who has to be thick skinned. Has never happened to me.
Take a deep, deep breath...sm
and slowly exhale. Phoooooooo. Feel a little better? You may have been venting, but you still kept your sense of humor. I do sympathize, though. My brother did not think he needed pain meds after his vision-correction surgery. I kept telling him the anesthetic would wear off. I picked up his meds without him knowing. He was so grateful later that night. Chalk one up for little sis. BTW, I hope your hubby gets better soon.
Born in the south, raised in the south, still live here and WHAT?
I do not love fats and butter, never. South Georgia is about as southern as you can get. I do not want to clog my arteries and eat organic as much as I can. You cannot speak for everyone, only yourself.
I live in the south and here a few miles south of Atlanta
it is around 14 this morning. I had to go out but layered clothes, put on socks for a change, headgear and even gloves and have a really good coat with hood but fur on the inside so I was cozy. Supposedly even colder tomorrow.
In Virginia ....
I was looking at Charlottesville, as well as more northern like Front Royal, Manassas, just not to close in to DC.
Virginia
I am a Virginian from day one and will never leave Virginia, at least if I have anything to say about it. However, I just learned recently that whenever you are buying a home here, your real estate rep will always be representing the seller. This was told to me by a real estate agent who had once lived in New York and moved here. Not only is the seller's real estate agent representing the seller, but the agent that the buyer has enlisted, will also be representing the seller. I know this sounds convoluted, but it is the way that it was explained to me. After I heard this, a lot of what went down regarding our purchase of a home, with regards to our real estate agent, started to make more sense. She recommended that, next time, we totally bypass using a real estate agent when purchasing a home, or to make sure we have a clear understanding with the agent that he/she is representing US.
I live in Virginia
and have often been to MB. We didn't start going until out children were toddlers and actucally were pretty good travelers (7 1/2 to 8 hours for us). Could you convince your hubby to go to a beach closer to Ohio and maybe be able to cut down on the travel time?
PS. I'm in SW part of Virginia. (NM)

Old Virginia is another good one to try
They're soy candles. They're available at Cracker Barrell restaurants and online. Some local gift shops carry them too. I think QVC carries them. The scent lasts through the whole candle. They burn cleaner than Yankee Candles and aren't as expensive. I've also bought them on ebay before. I still like Yankee Candles, but these are nice too.
I'm headin' to Virginia in the next . . ..
1-2 years. I have lived and traveled all over and have been in Georgia for almost 20 years. I hate this backwards state!! I am originally from Virginia and that's where I want to live out the rest of my life. It is the best, and truly God's country.
My heart is in Virginia...
where the grass actually is greener. There's no other green like it. But, I had to get directions to my home place a while back, that's how much it's changed. I still want to go back, though.
39 and snowing in Virginia Beach
Absolutely beautiful watching the snow fall and then melt as soon as it hits the ground!
I am in Virginia and this is the first rain we have had in days! nm
!
Same thing here in my part of Virginia
the flu, strep, bronchitis, and just the plain old cold. There was even talk of shutting down schools from a Friday through Monday just to give this a chance to die down. That didn't happen but we did get a rather large snow that seemed to freeze the virus. That did help, but warmed up again and seemed to start all over again.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus....sm
Santa Claus as we know him today has changed through the times, but his good will toward children has not changed.
This is a great link to tell you of that history!
Who's Virginia? No message inside

Horrible tragedy at Virginia Tech
In Blacksburg, VA. Someone went on a shooting rampage and he and at least 20 others are confirmed dead. My son is in high school but was there today on a field trip. He and his class were walking on campus when a professor took them to a safe room in the basement of a building. My son used his cell (wasn't supposed to have it with him but thank goodness he did) to call my hubby, and he came home from work to tell me. I of course went all to pieces but am a little better now. Just can't imagine what the parents of the other students are going through. They are now allowed to leave as soon as the can find the bus and bus driver. He was sent to another part of the campus. Just needed to talk about this a little. Thanks for listening.
I totally agree with you. I live in Virginia
and don't care that he played ball here. What he did is appalling and he should definitely do jail time, but I also think what L.Lohan has done is appalling and she could have killed someone and only gets 1 day and some community service. Doesn't make since.
Midlothian, Virginia - would pack and move back now
if I could!
Not West Virginia....Wisconsin...they look close when you use the initals.
WI.....WV....very close
Oh no, now I am in deep......
Hubs out of town, returning tonight. I told him I had bought something really good for him today, some succupnongs and got me some home-grown tomatoes. Well I never thought he would do that but then said how he loves those kind of tomatoes, how many did I get? I lied, yes I did, if I have to eat them all tonight before he gets here. OMG I probably have a good dozen left but I don’t want to share....I did buy him those others, why are men never satisfied?? I am so full right now I do not think I can eat those other 12 just yet.
Odenton Maryland/Virginia Beach Va info needed.
Hey everyone. Hope you are all doing well.
We are scheduled for a vacation here in the next few weeks (business trip for hubby that we are turning into a vacation), and are going to be in the Odenton, Maryland area and then the Virginia Beach area. If anyone is familiar with those areas, here is what I am curious about.
- In Odenton - book stores, yarn shops, fabric shops, flea markets, etc. Obviously I have to do something to keep myself busy while he works for a couple of days, lol.
- In VA beach, a nice spot to picnic on the beach/near the beach that also has nearby access to a decent public restroom. I know, sounds strange, but I have a health condition....anyhow.
Thanks in advance for info and advice.

I know deep down in my heart that this is wha I WANT to do. But, I'm not sure sm
how difficult it would be to get back into MTing/QAing after a year or so. It took me a long time to get the job I have now (QAing/MTing).
Thanks for your input! Will keep everyone posted. I hate doing QA right now and typing!......ha
Do you need DEEP POCKETS to buy them?

Deep down inside what we all really want is to be.........

Still waters run deep and (sm)
Anyone who thinks introverts or shy people are slow or retarded is just ignorant. I'm sorry, but racism is ignorant and judging people without knowing one thing about them is ignorant. This person is double-ignorant.
Can't give you advice, but my son is a lot like your husband. He is incredibly intelligent and the wheels are always turning, he just doesn't spew out every little thing that comes into his head. He listens. He learns.
All I can say to you is thank whomever you supreme being is that you have the pleasure of this darling man in your life. I'm not sure even if you tried to explain his nature that she'd understand. Not to mention she knows everything.
First, take a deep breath - sm
Yes, the school should have called you, but they did not and you cannot control the actions of others, just your own. You also cannot control whether the other mom calls you to apologize. Should she have? Sure, but again, what you do is NOT necessarily what someone else would do. Set a good example for your son and let him see this for what it is - a small incident in the big scheme of things. He will likely not even remember this in a few months unless you harp on it endlessly. I would definitely let the school know about my displeasure at the events of today, but after that just let it go. These things happen. You cannot protect your son from life. 
Deep Freeze !!!
Holy icicles batman ! It is -8 here in New England !
How about where you live?
Deep Purple Dress
Bridesmaid dresses in a deep purple. Not sure if I should go for metallics- gold or silver or stick with black? The wedding is in the afternoon in church and a reception at a golf course. What do you think?
12 inches is not deep pocket--sm
12 inches is barely even standard these days. Mine is 21 inches deep. I need 22 inch deep sheets to at least stay on. You shop around and see where you can find that size for under 200 dollars. If you do, let me know!
Yep. Normal. Just take a deep breath and
They'll probably make peace in a few short years (when you're old and grey-headed and senile, lol)!

Recommendations for deep friers sm
Need some recommendations for a good quality deep fryer. My third one just bit the dust. Have used Rival and Presto in the past both only lasting 1 year or less. I don't deep fry a lot but get a hankering every now and then for chicken. None of the fryers I have bought in the past last more than a year, they quit right in the middle of frying. I sent one back to Rival, it had died 28 days after I bought it. They sent me another and it died 1 year later. On the hunt again for another and don't care the cheapies anymore. Give me your recommendations. 
I really can't imagine how deep this sorrow must be. (sm)
I've only lost pets, and it rips my heart out to lose one of those special ones. The loss of a child would be absolutely unbearable. Time can only round off the edges of the pain a little, but never take it away. Not until you see him again in heaven. At least we have that hope.
True, but I doubt Britney is that deep! - nm

I was in a wedding with deep blue dresses.
We had the shoes dyed to match the dress from David's Bridal. They have a big selection of styles to pick from and then you dye them, relatively cheap too.
If not, then I would go with silver, just something simple though. JMO, but I don't think black would look great.
Deep dish; Romance or comedy? nm
Are you ready to be brave? Take a deep breath...
Then do it and close your eyes real tight and be glad the minute you have done it (calling to have him picked up for psych eval) Then once you have him out of the house you can keep him out with a court order. Your life will improve. Are you Ready???? Be BRAVE! I was!!!
Written by Francis Church in 1897 in response to 8 yo Virginia's question if Santa was real. You
VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except [what] they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measure by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest man that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank GOD! He lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.
Same problem for me. Deep pockets - Wal-Mart and Target have them.
nm
I say silver. Will they be playing music by Deep Purple at the wedding? lol

Think what you need are called deep pocket sheets. Try Linens n Things, Bed and Bath, JCP. nm

Gotta put deep wire fencing around next years' crop, underground,

South here too...but

Hey ya all, I am from the south so
I am heading west. I loved visiting California also. I just love my traveling though, bitten by the bug years ago
Same here. I'm from the South, too. nm

3.39 here in south AL n/m

I'm further south than you
Down here near Albany, GA and FREEZING! Worst part is we don't have heat in our house, just little room heaters.
One trick I learned from my gram, turn the oven on and leave the door open a little. Don't leave it on long though or your electric bill will go up! But if you need to knock the cold off the kitchen that will do the trick.
I wish I had one of those snuggles blankets I keep seeing on TV!
Not just in the south.
I had a friend in North Dakota who also did this.
