  see yourself in 10 years?

  will you be drastically different than you are now?

  what are you doing to work towards your future?

  10 years from now, I should be doing some guest appearances on some talk shows. Maybe traveling around the country, speaking to various interest groups. It all depends on me though, and how much effort and determination I put into it.

  we are filing bankruptcy in three days.

  we finally got enough money together, which included our government incentive check, to pay the lawyer to do it and last night saw two withdrawals from our checking account!

  perfectly legal the bank says.

  It depends on which audience you are trying to reach, the JW's themselves or the passerby.

  I went to a city school up north and it was mostly black. Most of the white people lived in the smaller surrounding towns and the majority of their students were white.
  
  There would be clashes between the schools at ballgames and their was some racial incidents.
  
  My stepfather from Mississippi hated blacks worse than anything, but the funny this is he always managed to move to areas with alot of black people in the south.

  Born and raised in Dayton Ohio of a deep appalachian heritage. I have adopted most of the linguistics from my Kentucky family. My brother on the other hand talks like a Buckeye. I am more intuned with my mountain heritage.
  
  Even within Eastern Kentucky, you can pick up some differences within the counties. Perry Countians talk different than Johnson Countians. Also where you lived in the holler had alot to do with how you spoke. The farther up the holler you lived, the stronger the accent.
  
  As far as racism, the most blatant racism I have witnessed would be tied with either Mississippi or Indiana.
  
  I remember seeing signs in the trees in Indiana with little black cartoon characters with red lines through them. I didn't even see that in Mississippi.
  
  As far as towns go, the north is way more segregated than the south. Up north rivers are usually the dividing lines between the races.
  
  Look up sundown cities and you would find them mostly in the north.
