Craigslist just went insane

yea, greymouser7 !!! I admit I moved to Missour in 79 and been here ever since. havn't been back home to Dawson Ga in years. you could get a job as a reality writer for Jeff Foxworthy. I didn't say joke writer! everything you said is true. I answered ALL the questions, bonus ones too. Ha
here s a little funny story. last time back home, I was visiting an old classmate. she owns a florrest, has since 70 and not too sure she has ever been further than 100 mi from home. ( Atlanta don't count)... she tells me she has to go to Albany. ( town 23 mi up the road) to pickup flowers for the store. I ask her, what the heck, Albany?? since when is it NOT pronounced Alllbbbbbaaaannnnyyyyyyy???
she tells me everyone there quit calling it that, makes them sound like some damn bunch of hicks!!! I bout peed in my pants I laughed so hard!
it took me years to lose a lot of my southern accent when I got to Mo. I got tired of hearing people ask " What you say??' ( northern Mo was more yankee and southern).
I could go back home for a visit, and I could pretty much pick it back up in a couple of hours ( I thought!!). the friends there would ask, " where you been living Billy, you talk funny!" ya can't win!!
I worked as a rep for a seed co. back then. dealer and I went out to visit his customers. stop to talk to this 40 year old guy, I open my mouth and he tells me how he hates southerners.
I tell him I apologize to no one about where I was raised. I told him he was 10 years younger, 40 lb bigger, and i'm no badass for sure, but if he liked we could start knocking each other around, no problem. he decided maybe I wasn't all that bad. Ha
and grits, sharp yellow rat cheese is best with grits!
