  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.

  a reliable source has informed us that the registrar of gilead was removed....laid off.

  is the watchtower school of gilead, where they train their missionaries, in the process of downsizing or perhaps dismantling.

  now that math.

  I don't know about that podcast stuff. That may be great for some people that don't have unlimited long distance, but others may not be able to access 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.

  I have shared my opinions on Bank of America before. I wouldn't advise anyone to do business with them.

  Fried Chicken

  by snowbird in

  1. social
  2. family

  i just copied this little nugget of information from real restaurant recipes.. southerners are the first to declare their fried chicken recipe as being the best, but southerners weren't the first to fry their chickens.

  the scottish people who settled the early south apparently introduced fried chicken in the united states.

  they liked their chicken fried rather than boiled or baked as was normal for the english in the northern states.

  The best white cornmeal for cornbread is a brand from Kentucky called "dorsal's" or "dorsel's" I know that Martha White supported the Grand Old Opry and some people think that is the best, including my grandma, but my stepgrandma and my mom both use dorsels. I have tried to win grandma over though.
