Hey y’all, what’s wrong with a drawl?

[bersaguy]

Well, if you really would like an honest answer about tea just ask a Chinese or Japanese person what they think about Americans and tea.  I have a friend that is Chinese and was raise here in the states but was brought here at age two and is a US citizen the legal way. Any how he was raise in a strict Chinese lifestyle by a family that owns a few Chinese restaurants. They offer sweet tea and it is good tea, better than you will find at MCDonalds of KFC but they also offer the traditional unsweetened hot tea which is the only way the Chinese drink tea. We were talking about tea one day and he said his grand father always thought the American people had problems making up their minds on things and you could tell it by their tea.   They boil it to make it hot, put ice in it to make it cold, put sugar in it to make it sweet and lemon in it to make it sour which made them very confusing people to try and figure out for his grandfather. Kinda makes sense if you think about it................ :rofl: :rofl:

Paula Deen is enough to make anyone hate a drawl.

Yep, for sure but I think a lot of hers is put on for show and not real. I saw another woman that sounded like her doing some furniture commercials a while back and she sounded fake also................jmho

I had such a bad drawl when I was a kid, I could hear it myself. I trained myself over the years to get rid of it, and now it is barely noticeable. Born and raised here, though.

I was born in extreme west Cook County (Chicago) in a small town of about 5,000 people and we talked southern even up there. My mother was from Craggie Hope, Tennessee and between my mother and my Grand mother that also grew up in Craggie Hope we talked southern, ate southern, and learned all about the south in our home growing up so when we finally moved down here I was 17 and fit right on in like I had been in Tennessee all my life. People up north always would ask us if we were from the south and it was easier to say yes ma'am or yes Sir than it was to try and explain why we sounded the way we did. My mother use to say Born in the USA and southern by the grace of GOD............. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I can't find a restaurant with sweet enough tea. Guess it's a sugar tooth problem. You know once the tea hits the table with ice there is no way you can blend sugar .....
