Things all southern

Things all Southern.There are many.Grits with butter,swimming in butter with salt and black pepper.Strik-o-lean,delightful.If you don't know what it is it's salty strips of meat,looks like bacon but is what is called fatback,just in strips.Take strik-o-lean,gravy,mustard and cut up onions and you have a meal fit for any country boy.Dip your biscuit in the gravy mustard and onion mix and yum yum.Might be best to soak the meat overnight because it is so salty.CoCola.CoCola it's called not pop or soda.CoCola covers all soft drinks from a to z.Some one may offer you a CoCola but don't be surprised if it's not a coke.Krystals and Crispy Creme doughnuts.If the South had those two items back then I think the Civil War would have ended different.Kudzu.Now that has been called the South's secret weapon but I think it was imported from Japan just for one reason.Stopping soil from being washed away,yep I know there is a word for but I tried spelling it and spellcheck was no help.Red Georgia clay.It will ruin your bluejeans quicker than your Momma can slap you.Officer Don and the Popeye club that crame on in the 50's and 60's from WSB TV.Stone Mountain now that is one big rock.Double Cola.A strong soft drink.Peachtree Street.Every Georgia town has at least one some more and yes it can be confusing.Peanuts in your coke.Shoot there are more many more but my brain and fingers are tired.Till next time !

Simple as they get

I think well I know that dysfunctional fits me to a T.Always,my entire life I felt like something was out of wack.Never fitting in.Never like others.But maybe that not all that bad.Some I'm glad we have nothing in common.How many people in the world are there?God made us all different.That I am happy for.All those billions of people and everyone different with their on way of doing things.Their own opinions.It sure would be boring if everyone was alike.Like what Henry Ford said you could get his cars in any color you wanted long as it was black.What that meant I have no idea.Maybe it was a metaphor.A big word huh.I know people who can say those reader digest words,those 50 cent ones.Who are they trying to impress?Me or themselves.I walked into the lab at the water plant one day.Just me and the first shift operator.Just to make conversation I asked if that was his brief case.The proper word is attache case he said.Ok I said to my self but brief case would have served the purpose as well.No big fancy word was needed.I stutter sometimes.Know some words I can't pronounce correct.I have been know to even get tongue tied so I keep my words simple.Some folks put on airs I think.I hope never anyone thinks that about me.I am as simple as they get.

Just put me in the freezer

Cold this morning.Temp was 27 degrees when I woke up.I am glad that seasons change here.Must be boring having one type of weather year round.Here in Georgia we get all four seasons.Fall is the most beautiful.Never met anyone who doesn't like fall.I know this sounds like the Chamber of Commence brochure but Georgia is a great place to live.Mountains to the north.Atlantic ocean to the east.Flat farm land down in south Georgia.I am a Georgia native.Born here raised here.Even got a grave spot here in LaGrange that is ready for me when I am ready so to speak.I have convinced myself that burial in the ground is not for me.Cremation is the way to go.I know some folks who have chose that route.I just don't like the idea of a six foot hole in the ground,in a metal box,inside a concrete vault.I have been by the graveyard and seen graves just dug filled with water.I know when a body is placed in a grave they take all the care in the world to protect it but it is useless.You will melt away so to speak.So cremation will get the job done quicker.Back to ashes from which we came.Plus it is a lot cheaper.Basic funerals are up in the $1000's of dollar range.I read recently cremation starts at round $1000 or less.I don't want a funeral.Funerals are one of the most stressful situations you can put a family through.Funerals are for the living anyway so I will save people money and stress and bow out easy and quiet.No big deal.Just say yep he is dead,that all she wrote,get it over with .I have one request.Wait till the fourth day after I have died before you cremate me ok.Someone told me that your soul hangs around for that long after you die.Something I don't understand.A golden cord,keeping the body and soul togather.So take no chances wait those four days.Plus this is another reason for no funeral.I never have seen a good looking corpse.I hear people say don't he look good.Don't they look peaceful.They are dead and where sick most likely before they died.Unless the mortician is a wizard they ain't going to look good.Plus I don't want no one looking down at me in that casket and saying that.So when my time comes there will be no funeral,no wake,no sitting up with the dead,none of that stressful stuff.Just put me in the freezer,wait four days and then cremate me.That is how it is and how I want it.
