    I grew up in New England (Marblehead). I roamed every inch of that town and people looked after each other. I was in neighbor houses all the time. There was no crime, Marblehead had only one way out and in. Even though it was majority Jewish we were welcomed at a pretty lavish Jewish community center and most of my swim meets were there as well as practice. Compared to Tampa? No one here gives a crap about each other. The OP is very much like a troll but maybe he actually thinks there are thing like southern values but then he would have mentioned guns.

    although I suspect it's not really his '"decision", as much as a circumstance foisted upon him, by virtue of circumstances in which he finds himself.

    There it is. Triggered easily I see. Lol

    I wasn’t in a courtroom. I was at my condo. I know the difference as I’ve testified in many trials both criminal and civil. That’s a different situation. You know like referring to the judge as “your honor”.

    Not meant to be disrespectful on my end. I refer to my wife as “my girl” often and she’s the most important person in my life.

    And yes. It’s a southern thing you obviously don’t understand.

    And that’s ok.

    I see we have located two Dwight’s on the board.
    I mean homer gave you the setting and explained how it worked out.
    You come in and compare that situation to a courtroom?
    Dwight Schrute called and really appreciates your effort.
    How do you wake up in the morning.

    That reminds me of that commercial about not being like your parents where the “student” is in the elevator chatting up everybody.

    Well, at least you understand how to be respectful when you feel the need. That's a start. Hopefully you realize there are nicknames or other terms of endearment that are perfectly fine to use with relatives, loved ones and friends that are not appropriate to use with strangers.

    The one i have to greatly disagres with here, is puncuality. Northerners are incredibly rigid and punctual.

    Southerners tend to be more laid back, in less of a hurry, and thus...less rigid about punctuality.

    (...and as Latino, even Cubano, I can say that punctuality is not the highest on my priorities of virtues. :)).

    Maybe I have some northerner in me. lol

    My saying is,,, “if you’re not 10 minutes early, you’re late”. Got it from a military General whose name I don’t recall.

    I hate being late. That may be my biggest issue in all of them.

    waiting for the inevitable and predictable, and dare I say 'petulant' dislike from O and B to appear on this post.

    I’m Trying to step back for a second to think about how this thread evolved.
    I think it shows possibly how some of us identify with certain ideals. And it also shows how some here have absolutely no respect for those who do identify with these ideals.

    How many incels do you know? I ask because I don’t know any so I can’t say anything about them without speaking out of ignorance.
