Thank you, Professor.

You are most kind.

I moved to the south from the north and haven't picked up the accent, yet. My boyfriend's family, however, is from Dothan. They have a thick accent (to my ears) and his great-grandmother calls me "that really nice Yankee girl". We are all "tragically Caucasian". :-D

Texan (Southern but independent when it suits us)

I speak like a normal person.....but the Yankees, Mid-westerners, and those out on the West Coast all speak funny!

Considered White....(but prefer human)

Dothan, Alabama, is in Houston County - also known as Wiregrass Country.

Do you know there is a biblical Dothan?

I did not know there was a biblical Dothan. Guess I wasn't reading my NWT as close I was supposed to be. *chuckles*

From The Message Bible:

Genesis 37: 17 The man said, "They've left here, but I overheard them say, 'Let's go to Dothan.'" So Joseph took off, tracked his brothers down, and found them in Dothan.

Thank you Bek. Glad to see you've simmered down.

Awesome! Oh I'm gonna have with that one when I get home. Also, one of these days I'll figure out how to quote previous posters I'm answering.
