This was sent to me by a longtime family friend a couple of days ago and I wanted to share with all my southern friends here at AR....Enjoy!!!
FRIENDS" VS. "SOUTHERN" FRIENDS
FRIENDS: Never ask for food.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Always bring the food. And lots of it.
FRIENDS: Will say "hello".
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Will give you a big hug and a kiss. More than one.
FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr. and Mrs.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Call your parents Mom and Dad, and often.
FRIENDS: Have never seen you cry.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Cry with you. And for you.
FRIEND S: Will eat at your dinner table and leave.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Will spend hours there, talking, laughing, and just being together. Then do the dishes before leaving.
FRIENDS: Know a few things about you.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Could write a book with direct quotes from you. And most of the time know you better than you do yourself.
FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that's what the crowd is doing.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowds' back-ends that left you. Then walk beside you in the front of the crowd.
FRIENDS: Would knock on your door.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Walk right in and say, "Are you home?" If you are n ot home th ey will wait.
FRIENDS: Are for a while.
SOUTHREN FRIENDS: Are for life. And then some.
FRIENDS: Might ignore this.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Will forward this to all their Southern Friends Without hesitation
I have been Blessed with SOUTHERN FRIENDS
I LOVE YA'LL!!!

Hi Laura, What a terrific testament to Southern friendship !
Hey, Laura. Those are awesome and so true. I love the one about not knocking, true. I hope that you have a wonderful week, Jim
Well done Laura, Is Florida in the South? Sometimes I'm sure it is and other times it isn't really at all.
I love the one about walking in. Found out when we moved here it is just not done. But, I still do it sometimes with my friends.
Hi Laura,
I think I want some southern friends. Enjoyed the post. Have a great week. Michael A. Caruso
Good afternoon Laura - I loved the post, I am going to share it with my other southern friends. Have a great week.
Bill- I couldn't agree with you more!
Jim-I'm guilty of that one myself :)
Schrader- Florida is definitely part of the south
Missy- You can be southern at heart no matter where you live :)
Michael- Glad you enjoyed it. It put a smile on my face when I read it as well
CUTE post Laura - Nothing Like Southern Hospitality & Friends, and I love their drawl (but they say that I'm the one with the accent :)
Sincerely,
Grace
Hey Laura! Not only do southern friends come on in without knocking, they head straight for the fridge and grab a coke! :-) I'm a NC native and a Tarheel -- nothing could be finer!! Thanks for the post!
I love this! Having just moved to NC from CA 3 years ago I can already attest to the truth of this list. We love it here!
Hi Laura, You're right... there just isn't anything quite like southern hospitality...
