Things I've learned about Georgia:

Possums sleep in the middle of the road with their feet in the air.

There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 live in Georgia.

There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 live in Georgia, plus a
couple no one's seen before.

Squirrels will eat anything.

Unknown critters love to dig holes under tomato plants.

Raccoons will test your crop of melons and let you know when they are
ripe.


If it grows, it sticks; if it crawls, it bites.

A tractor is NOT an all-terrain vehicle. They do get stuck.

Onced and Twiced are words.

It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy.

Fire ants consider your flesh as a picnic.

People actually grow and eat okra.

Fixinto is one word.

There ain't no such thing as "lunch". There's only dinner and then
there's supper.

Tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're 2
- sweet tea that is!!!

Backards and forwards means I know everything about you.

'Jeet? is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat?"

You don't have to wear a watch because it doesn't matter what time it
is.

You work until you're done or it's too dark to see.

More about Georgians...:

You know you're from Georgia if:

1. You measure distance in minutes.

2. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.

3. Stores don't have bags; they have sacks.

4. You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in
it, no matter what time of the year.

5. You use "fix" as a verb. Example: I am fixing to go to the store.

6. All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit,
vegetable, grain, insect or animal

7. You install security lights on your house and gar age and leave both
unlocked.

11. The local papers cover national and international news on one page
but requires 6 pages for local gossip and sports.

12. You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.

13. You find 100 degrees Fahrenheit "a little warm."

14. You know all four seasons: Almost summer, summer, still summer, and

Georgia as soon as they open their mouth.

16. Going to Wal-Mart is a favorite past-time known as "goin wal-martin"
or off to "Wally World."

17. You describe the first cool snap (below 7 0 degrees) as good chili
weather.

18. A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola, or pop... it's a Coke,
regardless of brand or flavor. Example "What kinna coke you want?"

I got another first today. That one each of two days in a row. This morning it was a new cache on the Silver Comet trail. Bicycle Caching! A year ago it was like my place, just go in a day or so, and I was first, but now it better be in a hour or so.

The grass is still too wet to cut. If it don't dry soon I will have to built a dog house. LOL

I seen where goss had got a thingy called live journal. It is real neat, you can do a lot more than just read it.
You can jump in a comment on it. You have a list of friend and stuff like that. I tryed to set one up, but I'm lost as a goose on it. I love to read others peoples, but I just don't have that gift of gab. Plus not enough between ears either.
