Well, I am a woman, and I have a Ph.D. from a quite-respected school (not dumb, in other words). I also am a decent driver (over 40 years and only one wreck I got a ticket for). I don't talk all the time (except when I'm manic!) I also like to watch sports on TV (actually more than my hubby).
And so on.

I'm also a Southerner, like Tim. I'm not married to a relative either. I do not like grits. I don't like NASCAR (car racing). I'm not prejudiced against certain groups. I do say, "Y'all," but not a lot of the other Southern stuff. (Most people tell me they can't even figure out from the way I talk where I am from!)

This thread is a good one!
