Fair enough, the point of the vid still made me laughTaylor Swift isn’t from TN. She’s a yankee from Pennsylvania.
To be fair, I wasn’t making a comment on the video itself. Just pointing out a particular fact. Moving to Nashville at age 14 to pursue a career in country music ain’t the same as being from The South. Not by a country mile. Hell, being born in yankee territory to Southerners because of temporary assignment like military service barely lets you slide in that gate. Tomato/rutabaga.Fair enough, the point of the vid still made me laugh
*Moved to TN at 10 and grew up there. Tomato/Tomoto
Taylor Swift isn’t from TN. She’s a yankee from Pennsylvania.
While both of those are true facts, I can’t say they are related. I’ve known plenty of smart folks from Missippi (spell it like you say it).Marsha isn't either. She is from Mississippi. That is why I'm guessing she's so dumb.
I have had to correct an ohio friend more than once that Miami (and Orlando or the Keys) is not really "The South".To be fair, I wasn’t making a comment on the video itself.

I need to hook you up with my family in Atlanta..............from Italy, lived in Chicago for most of their youth, moved to Atlanta and you would have to fight them tooth and nail as to if they're "Southerners", lol.To be fair, I wasn’t making a comment on the video itself.

To a yankee it’s a sidebar, to a Southron it is THE hill to die on.I need to hook you up with my family in Atlanta..............from Italy, lived in Chicago for most of their youth, moved to Atlanta and you would have to fight them tooth and nail as to if they're "Southerners", lol.
It's a side bar at best for this particular video/comment is all I'm saying
Don't I know it.To a yankee it’s a sidebar, to a Southron it is THE hill to die on.
*Your relatives aren’t just Yankees, they’re damn Yankees.
We have a lot of the same problems but we aren't on limestone--we're on river deposits and clay. Normally developers just make the ground floor (or two) into parking because if it floods, it would only flood the parking. We also know that if you get the option to take the second story apartment, you take the second story apartment. New Orleans has become a bowl from ground sinking and a large portion of the city is under sea level. My house is 14 feet above sea level and we are on high ground.this is particularly a problem on Miami Beach. My mother used to live on the beach -- and not like, right on the coast, but maybe a mile off -- and the under-building garage regularly flooded. When I was a kid we'd get king tides maybe once every few years, now it's at least once a year, sometimes twice. And of course during storms. November King Tides Are Here
Um, I lived in Mississippi for most of my childhood and know plenty smart people from Mississippi. Most of them got the hell out, but there are still plenty of smart, good people in and from Mississippi.Marsha isn't either. She is from Mississippi. That is why I'm guessing she's so dumb.
I know that you are really highlighting the weather, but have you been following the EPA whistleblower stuff? It turns out that the EPA might be about as corrupt as the FDA (I'm looking at their recent approval of Biogen's alzheimer's drug).(Meanwhile it was 130 degrees in Death Valley this past weekend)
E.P.A. Approved Toxic Chemicals for Fracking a Decade Ago, New Files Show
The compounds can form PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals,” which have been linked to cancer and birth defects. The E.P.A. approvals came despite the agency’s own concerns about toxicity.www.nytimes.com
Heat Wave Killed An Estimated 1 Billion Sea Creatures, And Scientists Fear Even Worse
An estimated 1 billion sea creatures, mostly mussels, died in the heat wave last week along Vancouver's shorelines. But the marine biologist taking count worries the actual number will be much higher.www.npr.org
Oh I know that, Like I said my grandmother and grandfather lived in Forest most of their life and were some of my favorite people on the planet before they passed. Their are plenty of stupid and good people everywhere.Um, I lived in Mississippi for most of my childhood and know plenty smart people from Mississippi. Most of them got the hell out, but there are still plenty of smart, good people in and from Mississippi.

MANAGERS AND CAREER STAFF in the Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention tampered with the assessments of dozens of chemicals to make them appear safer, according to four scientists who work at the agency. The whistleblowers, whose jobs involve identifying the potential harms posed by new chemicals, provided The Intercept with detailed evidence of pressure within the agency to minimize or remove evidence of potential adverse effects of the chemicals, including neurological effects, birth defects, and cancer.
On several occasions, information about hazards was deleted from agency assessments without informing or seeking the consent of the scientists who authored them. Some of these cases led the EPA to withhold critical information from the public about potentially dangerous chemical exposures. In other cases, the removal of the hazard information or the altering of the scientists’ conclusions in reports paved the way for the use of chemicals, which otherwise would not have been allowed on the market.

@nolalady I also just don't want to claim Marsha Blackburn. She is the devil.
