Guest guest Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Thank you dear Katherine. Its always a joy to learn more about each other. I lived in Florida for a while. In fact I graduated High School from a town in central Florida where they did all speak with a southern accent. I had a great deal of trouble understanding my english teacher! Her drawl was really something else. And the slang, and phrases: " I might could " and such...hahaha. What a time! So I know what you sound like! Hug. Now, if you ever get a chance to hear a real Maine accent, you're really in for a treat. And I'm sure there are many more different ones in the group! Me crazy??? hahahaha I know...talking flowers. Well, remember, its a meditation space and ANYTHING is possible! Good night dear one.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I'm a native Floridian, too. I was born in Plant City (Hillsborough Co.) 47 years ago. We were in the farm country rather than near the beaches. Cattle and horses, strawberries and citrus. To this day, I absolutely love the scent of orange blossoms! We moved to TN (north central)when I was 8, where I spent the rest of my school years. Now I live in AZ and am still surrounded by palm trees, citrus (just finished the bloom season) and grow my own strawberries. I have some good memories of FL. I lived in Boston for 3 years and lost a lot of my accent because I was mocked for it and I'm a sensivite person so I changed. Now and then the accent comes back, mostly when around my Mom, who is a dyed-in-the-wool Southern girl from East TN. Nice to meet another Southern belle.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Hi Valarie, it is a pleasure to meet you, another Southern Belle! Cool! I am actually a native of South Carolina, but I live in Florida now. My husband is in the Navy. Anyway, most of his career and our marriage we spent it in Kingsland (St. Mary's) Georgia which is only about 11 miles from the Florida line and other than living in GA and my kids going to school there we did everything else in Florida. Last year in June my husband was transferred from GA to FL officially and so here we are. I love the coast and the beach and the palms even though SC had them. They were just not in the area where I lived. Now they are every where. I love it down here in FL and hope that we can retire here, a great place to live! As for the accent, many years ago, I was laughed at for my southern accent. At the time It really bothered me and it actually hurt my feelings when someone would say something to me about it, but after a while I realized that not every one had the accent like I do and so I started looking at it as a complement rather than an insult and that others were just jealous they didn't have it and that is how I overcame it. I love my accent even though I only hear it when I have been recorded, but I still love it! Anyway, I love TN, have family there and so does my sister's husband. A beautiful Southern State! Anyway, Nice to meet you Valarie. Love, Katherine vjvousden <vjvousden wrote: I'm a native Floridian, too. I was born in Plant City (Hillsborough Co.) 47 years ago.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I am a southern girl,too, with a big accent. Born and raise in the middle of the piney woods of East Texas. When we lived in N. Dakota for a year, friends from a bible class I went to, would have me do all the reading just so they could listen to my accent. Hehe!

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Nice to meet you, too. Your post were sounding so familar to me, as well. Someone mentioned Tenn. My husband is from there, very close to the Carolina's. We have lived there for a while, too. A little town called Chuckey. My husband has a great nack at picking up languages and accents and is able to sound like he is from where ever he happens to be. My two girls are also good at doing that, but me I always stuck out like a sore thumb. We have done a lot of moving. I have lived in 16 citys and 5 states. We have lived here in Victoria, Tex. for 20 years now, the longest we've been in one spot. CC , Katherine Miller <katsam19 wrote: > > CC, that sounds all too familiar!

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Wow, you have moved more and lived more places than my husband and I have and he has been in the Navy for 22 years and counting. I am like you I stick out like a sore thumb as well because of my accent and I certainly can't change it at will! Smiles! It was Valarie who said they lived in Tenn and my husband has family in Knoxville and my sister's husband has family from TN also. Great place, very beautiful! I hope you have a wonderful night!
