It is not a secret that the North and the South are very different when it comes to life styles, rhey both have their advantages and their disadvantages. At times I must hold my tongue when 1 see things that are new to me. I can live with and learn from these differences provided that people can accept the fact that I come from a place other than South Carolina.

I come from 20 miles outside of Brooklyn, N.Y. In N.Y. we have everything ? including some crazies that add a bit of spice to life.
