:drama: Welcome from another ex-Mainer, grew up and spent most of my life in far northern Maine.

Moved down here a couple of years ago and never looked back.

If I would of known what I know now thirty years ago, I would of moved down here in a heartbeat.

Oh ...

Mainer => Ayuh

Southerner => y'all

Only things I miss about Maine are moose meat, fiddleheads and Cortland apples! :stunned:

Good Lord we're overrun with Maine people. What do you call yourselves? Mainers? :)

Do ya'll know Stephen King? :P

Actually met him several times. The CFO of the engineering firm I worked for managed the Mansfield baseball park that King donated to the city.

(that in itself is an awesome story)

He is totally laid back, unpretentious and always wearing old jeans with a sweatshirt. He is an incredible philanthropist.

If you know of a small town that needs a library, he has a foundation that offers generous grants to get one started or expanded.

BTW, the parallels between Maine and Tennessee are quite astonishing.

I feel just at home here as I do in my home town where I grew up.

Living in the Bahston area really sucked. When I came down here on vacation, I waited ten days for the southern hospitality act to die. It did not and within three days of returning from said vacation, I made up my mind that I was moving where people are friendly, courteous, compassionate and just plain nice. The only real differences between my home town culture and down here is they speak french up there. And this is the Buckle of the Bible belt. ;)

I hated working in the Massachusetts/NH area.

I rode motorcycles with him a few times. He actually taught my my older brother and sister in high school. He showed them the check from where he sold Carrie...
