Oh yea, and we drink tea down here (no need to call it sweet tea in the south). Its a GIVEN that means SWEET tea. If you need unsweet, you gotta ask for it! If you order tea, it WILL be sweet😁
we had our small house packed with family and friends more often than not . some for months
mom would cook and it may not have filled every one up but every one had some food And a dry place to sleep
Private time was non existing to say the least lol
Same when we went to.south visiting family down south they had little but kindness and making us as comfortable as possible
Lot of good memories from back then
As for me I have helped countless people stranded/ broken down on the road I have did countless car repairs for free to help some people I did not even know all pay it forward I hope karma took notes lol
I was working as a paramedic in a small town in Georgia. One day, we were called to transfer a pt. from the hospital back to her home. This was a 51 year old gal. She had just had her right foot amputated at the ankle, because the foot had gangrene, because she had diabetes. And the doc was in the room when we were loading her up on the stretcher, and he said to her "Now Ms. Julie I'm telling you again, get off of that sugar, or your diabetes will get worse, and we will be back here next year, amputating your entire right leg."
She said "Yes sir, doctor."
We took her home, she lived in a nice little 2-bedroom house with her 55 year old sister. Sister was making up a batch of tea. These Southerners don't mess with a 5 pound bag of sugar, they buy the ten pound bag of Dixie Crystals, that way they only need one bag per week.
Sister was mixing up a big 1/2 gallon batch of sweet tea and I watched her put about two pounds of Dixie Crystals in there. As we loaded our patient onto the bed, she said "Oh sister, give me a big glass of that sweet tea on ice. That tea at the hospital weren't no good!"
There is an absolute epidemic of diabetes in Georgia. I wonder why.

Our 'Southern' (Proper Adjective) snakes know when it is hot as blue blazes - you go to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and cool off doing some surfing - and since you are on the beach - you need to scarf down 'sweet tea' - shrimp - & - grits - preferably cheese grits.

Southerners like sweet tea.

Southern tea= 3 tea bags,1 gallon of water,5 pounds of sugar.
first time i went to Utah, i found out didnt everyone drink sweet tea, heck they didnt even know what it was.
"There is an absolute epidemic of diabetes in Georgia. I wonder why."
There is an epidemic of diabetes in the ENTIRE country! Everyone eats "fast" food and lots of it! Cant just single out Ga in that one!
varian, I've lived in Utah for 35 years and everywhere I order iced tea, they ALWAYS ask "sweet or un?"
I only drink it "un". Or as an Arnold Palmer.
Read about UK diabetes. It's worldwide.
cut junk food and more daily aerobics
