Around the world... Where is every one from...
rural arkansas. north central above little rock
I'm from Silicon Valley, California (northern part of the state).BTW, Pamela, my mom was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. :)
I was born and raised in Dallas Texas... Still a Texan at heart if not location :)
I was born in Orange, Texas! :-) But I was in California b/f I was a year old.
We also lived in Austin Texas... for about three years our son was born there but we were both born in Iowa so we moved back for him to attend school in Iowa... that was almost twenty one years ago..
I wouldn't mind seeing some more of this country. **sigh**
I live in Central Wyoming. We moved here 6 years ago from Northern California.

I was born in San Antonio, and moved to Oklahoma City about 8 years ago, (gosh, that sounds sooo long ago, longer than I care to remember!) moved here because I met a military man in Austin who was stationed at Fort Hood, from Oklahoma City. We moved to OKC after he got out because funny enough, my dad and stepmom ended up here, so most of our family is here. Texas is my heart though, always will be!
Pamela - what town do you live in? My grandparents lived there for decades, spent a lot of summers in Little Rock, (Jacksonville and Sherwood to be exact) and my sister and mom live in Lonoke.
Shell's Bells, I left Texas to join the Navy and see the world and married a sailor. I doubt I'll ever go back to live but I miss it.I'm up near Heber Springs. Greers Ferry Lake area.
I've been there before, as a kid! I don't remember what for, but my grandparents use to drive us everywhere, my favorite was Hot Springs.
we lived near Hot Springs for about 2 and 1/2 years. I loved Hot Springs.
Born in New Orleans,LA, grew up in Pleasantville,NY, lived in Naples,FL and now live in Lynden WA.

I have lived in So Cal since 1957. I live in Norco, just west of Riverside along I-15. I go "home" for my high school class reunions and also to visit my Cajun cousins in Kinder, Louisiana. My grandma never learned to speak English.

I believe it was filmed in South Australia and I am up North in Queensland. It was a great show.
I watch it every now and then to get my Myles fix lol

As far as the Cajun accent thing, I was taught to avoid it and shun it at all costs. One's social standing and educational status was determined by whether you said "this" instead of "diss" or "that" instead of "dat". The same thing goes on today regarding Mexican or Latino accents. To be from the barrio is not so bad in and of itself; it's just not wise to sound as if you just stepped out of it. Same goes for "jive" talk. My father grew up speaking both languages at the same time: French at home, English outside the home. Other than the usual Southern drawl, he had no accent.
