Things I have learned living in South Carolina. - ThinnerTimes

1. A possum is a flat animal that sleeps in the
middle of the road.

2. There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 of
them live in South Carolina.

3. There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 of them live in
South Carolina, plus a couple no one's ever seen before.

4. If it grows, it'll stick ya. If it crawls, it'll bite 'cha.

5. "Onced" and "Twiced" are words.

6. It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy.

7. "Jaw-P?" means "Did y'all go to the bathroom?"

8. People actually grow and eat okra.

9. "Fixinto" is one word.

10. There is no such thing as "lunch." There is only dinner and then there is supper.

11. Iced tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're two, and South Carolinians do like a little tea with our sugar!

12. Backwards and forwards means "I know everything about you."

13. The word "Jeet" is actually a question meaning "Did you eat?"

14. You don't have to wear a watch because it doesn't matter
what time it is. You work until you're done or it's too dark to see.

15. You don't PUSH buttons, you MASH them.

16. "No. Jew?" is a common response to the question "Did you bring any beer?"

YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA IF:

1. You measure distance in minutes.

2. You've ever had to switch from heat to A/C in the same day.

3. All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect or animal.

4. You know what a "DAWG" is.

5. You carry jumper cables in your car... For your OWN car.

6. You only own five spices: salt, pepper, vinegar, ketchup, and Texas Pete.

7. The local papers cover national and international news on one
page, but require 6 pages for local gossip and motor sports.

8. You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.

9. You find 100 degrees Fahrenheit "a bit warm."

10. You know all four seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer and Christmas.

11. Going to Wal-Mart is a favorite past time known as Goin' to Wally World.

12. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good chicken stew weather.

13. Fried catfish is the other white meat.

14. We don't need no dang Driver's Ed. If our mama says we can drive... we can drive dangit.

15. You understand these jokes and forward them to your South
Carolina friends (and those who just wish they lived in South Carolina).

I loved living in the Carolina's, North to be exact.

My favoriate thing to do, to this day, is to sit on the font porch, BS with Gf's & drink Sweet Tea over crushed ice.

I still drink SWEET TEA...I swear I can taste Lipton in my tears...I do not have a porch here in Florida but I spend many nights on the lani , drinking my tea & enjoying the gulf breezes as they roll in over the coast.

My husband often teases me , he asks..."Did you want some tea with your sugar?"

VPA, I didn't know you ever lived in North Carolina! Great state, if I do say so myself. and so much more refined than our neighbors to the south!

Actually, I've seen pretty much that same list apply to NC. and us Southerners do like a little tea with our sugar. If the spoon doesn't stand up in the glass, it's not sweet enough!
