Cindy, That's a good one. Here's another one for someone who has never amounted to much. "He's out standing in his field." (As in out there with the cows.) Dr. B ms. Cindy,

That’s a good one.

If you are related to yourself on both sides of the family, you are probably from the country. That or either you are descended from royalty. And I know I am nothing but a "royal pain".

They did make up some months later. (I guess some teenage guys do that?) I wanted to tell both of 'em to go soak their heads in a barrel of cold water, but I didn't. I got another one: If you are annoyed by an early-riser neighbor's car motor spoiling the "Dawn Chorus" so you cannot appreciate the segue from crickets to kaitydids fully, you might be "Country". *smile* I got the feeling there was more behind the “explosion” I witnessed, and that was just the final straw.

I've seen folks wring their neck before- there is a reason for the "chicken with your head cut off" saying. I fear that whatever was left over of ole T-bone went to that same glue factory in the sky my Roarco the pony went to. Yep, I've shelled beans and peas too, and I remember when we got our first pizza place my uncle complained about them bringing "fur-un" food to town. And my grandfather used to tell of the first model T's coming down the road. About all I can say is, "Girl, you's country, too." Dr. B Ms. Cindy,

My favorite calf was called T-Bone. Any guesses what happened to him? And don't get me started on all those nights shelling beans and peas....LOL We never had pizza until I was about 12. If your are more used to cow bells than car horns. How about….If you catch the chicken in your front yard before it ends up on your table for Sunday dinner, you might live in the country?

My most vivid memory of the city was when I was about four, soon after we had moved to a city apartment mom had unpacked and was wanting new soil for her ivy. We went down the elevator around the sidewalk to the alley where she found some hard clay dirt that she chopped up with a butcher knife cusing the day she allowed dad to take the job. It was a scary Christmas that year, We did not have a fireplace and I knew there was no way he would find our place up on the fourth floor -- but he did.

If you grew up together, you need to stick together. I love the country, but it ain't worth a fist fight. Very little is to me, though. I prefer high level negotiations over brawls any day. It takes more time, but no one gets hurt too bad that way. Dr. B Ms. Kat,
