Good girl!  Way to rein it in.  I'm proud of you.  I figured the insults were due to high insuline or a need for sleep.  

As for The South, I enjoyed my time there in Alabama, Nashville, The Carolinas.  Lovely.  I'm definitely a Woman of The West so we don't align culturally exactly, but there is nothing here that a chat over sweet tea and a porch swing can't fix. Keep swinging kiddo!
