Today is one of those days that is GO, GO, GO ! Got up around 9-ish and it has been non stop ever since an will remain so through out the rest of the day. I had a few seconds actually to waste at home so I thought what better a time then to do a small lil' blog.
The "Badger Care" appointment went ok, we have to get 2 papers yet though, so nothing is definte yet. I had to run to the other house to make sure the water was on or not, then next I have a doctor appointment .... then I have to take Jordan to town, pick up the girls and then go pick up Adam from work. SIGH. It stinks having one car.
I will let all know how the doc appointment goes maybe when I get home. Adam will be going over to that house for a while tonight to do a few things, so I will finally have some quiet time.
I wanted to leave with giving an answer to this, that I got from Kattss: (Don't have time to blog hop right now)
She said on the "Nashville" entry ..
"I would like to say that I grew up not far from where Tammie lives, and people were perfectly fine. I don't think it is fair to say an entire state is a bunch of assholes. Tammie, you yourself say you don't get out much. Maybe if you gave others a chance you would find them to be friendly. I am sure you can find some assholes in the east, south, west, and north....but there are nice people there too."
My response: I do agree. However this IS a generalization. I have been to 38 states and lived in 5. Every area has "thier ways" of things .. New York, people are snotty, but not a mean hatefull snotty, but instead rude and strait to the point - hurry up snotty - Chicago, people are not so rude, yet instead snobby and more focused on money and not so much cares about the melting pot. Down south you'll hear " How Ya'll doin' today ? --- ya' know they like genuinley care, and you will often find people just talking to you that you have no idea who they are, but like they always knew you. Where as here (Minneapolis area) NO ONE talks to anyone and instead if you are an outsider give you looks of hate and stares. No one talks to anyone and they all seem to be part of cliques.
Again besides the weather or most of it, and the above that is why I hate it here. It is the general population ... NOT EVERYBODY. But I digress, I most likely will never see it another way .. only very few people from this area have actually taken the time to prove me wrong !!! Usually I have found people actually go out of thier way to prove me right !
So my move is a result of both hating the weather and the majority (not all) the people. OK ??? I had just decided that I had - had enough ! I won't do it anymore, there was a final straw and it was broke ...
Ok so ayway - that is it. I have to headout the door again.
Hope ya'll have a great day !
TAMMIE
My goodness........You're gonna sleep like a log tonight Tammie...!!!
ReplyDeleteBusy busy!!!
I hope the rest of your day goes well. :-D
Busy day indeed! I love/hate those kind of days! Love them because you get done and really feel like you got something 'done', ya know? But hate because you feel totally exhausted when you get done! LOL
ReplyDelete"Where as here (Minneapolis area) NO ONE talks to anyone and instead if you are an outsider give you looks of hate and stares. No one talks to anyone and they all seem to be part of cliques." I've never experienced this in my 29 years of living in the area. I think the exact opposite is true and if I see a new person in the area I go out of my way to welcome them (show them around town, etc). I feel very welcomed by everyone in this area. Even when I go to Minneapolis or Menomonie people I don't know usually say hi to me and make me feel very welcomed.
ReplyDeleteThat's just my opinion....
Hope all goes well at Dr appt. At least you should sleep good tonight with being so busy all day. ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't really know much about the people in the north, but the south is not all it's cracked up to be sometimes. In the cities it is pretty much the same as the north is described and in the small towns, people like to show they care by feeding you and giving you directions, etc but they are also very judgemental people. They are just very set in their ways also. Maybe I have trouble down here because I have extremely different views on many things and try to be as open minded as possible so it just bothers me sometimes to be around people who are not very open to new ideas, ya know? Also, I have never met a southern gentleman in my entire life. In fact, all the males on this side of the state make me want to cover up as much skin as possible and possibly even get a sex change (haha kidding) because a lot of them grew up in verrrrrry small southern towns where women aren't exactly on the top of the totem pole.
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying this to discourage you from moving down south or to even make a generalization about people down here, because I have only really lived in North and South Carolina (as far as southern states go) but I have lived in more than one area of each state and there are HUGE differences in the parts you go to. I just didn't want you to move down here thinking that everyone is all sunshine and then get disappointed! But, generally I think you should be fine!
Oh your day sounds like mine was today! GO GO GO!! I am once again heading out the door! Can't I just stay home!!!! I think your repsond sounded great Tammie! I hope your night will be super! Hugs to you!!!
ReplyDeleteI was only trying to make the point that there are nice people everywhere, and there are assholes everywhere. I grew up around there and consider myself a nice person, so I decided to comment on your statement only after seeing it as a recurring theme through many of your blogs. If I offended you, I am sorry, it wasn't meant to be offensive, just a statement.
ReplyDeleteOh no no no ! I never take offense to hardly anything, so I am not at all offended. :O)
ReplyDeleteI do agree with not everyone being an asshole and not evryone being swell either. Sure there are a FEW nice ones, but I just meant the majority. My first year here I was very social, but got stabbed in the back by several people, it has now happened more times than I can even count here, so that is the basis of my thoughts.
HA HA HA .. that made me LOL. .. I know exactly what you are talking about though. I AM that way. Um.... a conservative Christian. Also another reason I am thinking it would be nice to be down south. I have tried several times to wear make up and different clothes, but it just IS NOT ME. I got tired of trying to hide who I was to try to impress people. I wear long skirts and turtle necks, long sleeves and barely show anything. I am extremely modest and cringe when others aren't. It embarrasses me to a great extent. I have always had really old values, being with my Grandparents alot made me that way. Men are supposed to be the spiritual leaders and breadwinners for the family, woman stay at home to do womans work. Please don't be offended, that is just me and my opinion, I am NOT saying it is for everyone.
ReplyDeleteSo the judgemental part I understand typically in the bible belt of the US it can be expected and I think I would feel more at home being there. So many people around me now just do not have any beliefs, or they believe what they want that makes them feel good.
I know I am no coneseuir of the south by no means, but having my dad's whole side of the family there has given me some better sort of understanding.
I wouldn't think so though .. You do have a better understanding of the area, because you are from here. I am a transplant - if you do go out of your way to welcome others, you are truly one in a very few !!!!! As a matter of fact, even from when we met, you are nicer than just most, so perhaps it is upbringing. No one hardly ever talks to anyone any more, not like my Grandparents used to say that neighborhoods were all friends in the 50's.
ReplyDeleteNaturally I am not looking for some 50's kinda thing, but in my 4 years of being here ... I have seen more hate in this area alone than anywhere I have ever been in the US.
It is sad.
I get what you are saying from your prospective.
ReplyDeleteI used to think that about the people up North in the New England area until I really spent some time there and quickly changed my mind.
im tired of go go go ...sigh...
im so ready for warm air...sunshine and some rest! The days when we cant take the kids outside are really hectic..we've only been out once in almost two weeks!
Yes ! Totally. Like New Yorkers.I hated it at first, but I got to where I LOVED it. NY area is one of my fave places ever. Hard to understand me I know, but I get the rudeness and hurry up and say what ya gotta say thing then go ... that is what makes them all loveable ! HA HA .. they just aren't hateful about it... just hurry up and say it already !!!j LOL :o)
