When I moved from Ohio to Mobile, Alabama, I was only 19 years old. The first time they had hurricane warnings, the public service announcements told us what to buy, and batteries were one of the things on the list. I bought everything they said, and filled my bathtub with water, etc. Did everything! It was only after the hurricane that I realized I didn't have anything that required batteries...a radio and a flashlight. Yep, pretty dumb Yankee but I learned from experiences and that's the best way!
Helen, funny that you mention the clerk's attitude because it amazed me that if I went to the mall in the morning, the clerk would mosey over with a cup of coffee in her hand. And offer me one!! LOL That just doesn't happen up here!How clever to make the arm warmers! I had never heard of them.
bama, the people of the south...there is no place in the USA where you find such caring, helpful people. I had absolutely nothing, and the girl who hired me actually furnished my apartment for me with furniture from her and her mom. I still count them among the 10 special people in my life (they beat out some blood kin).
I'm putting Christmas trees up...I'm on a pretty good roll. LOL
Y'all take care.
