10 years ago today

[fingercuffs]

I made the move from Amsterdam to Virginia. The night after went out with husband's work colleagues and one lovely man said we aren't so different, we're all just folk. And during the 10 years I've spent here he's right. California doesn't have the same southern hospitality but I've made it my home and will hopefully be here for the next 10 years before Tuscany.

So any one of you I've came into contact with who have made me feel loved, embraced and welcome as a foreigner, given me much needed advice of things I'm not aware of... thank you very much.

Migrating has its challenges for sure, glad it worked out so well for you.

Right on. Happy the US of A is working out for you. You seem like a welcome addition to our little "melting pot."

I have my interview on March 7th, I'm so nervous I'm going to fuck it up. I won't be kicked out if I fail given the Green Card, I just want to be able to vote.

Virginia has southern hospitality? Is Virginia considered “the South” in the US?

I'm not employed, but I'm not claiming benefits.

Yes. When you drive into Maryland you get a "welcome to the south" sign, Norfolk Virginia is more south than that.

 

[Goon Dog]

Yup, we claim Virginia. And 'Cuffs, we'd definitely claim you. Good luck on the process and test!

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

Yes. When you drive into Maryland you get a "welcome to the south" sign, Norfolk Virginia is more south than that.

Huh, I didn’t know that. I figured the cutoff for “the south” would be like the northern borders of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi etc. Had no idea somewhere as far north as Maryland would be “the South”.

Amazing that Cuffs is worried about her green card and interview, when she could have snuck in and been given a free electric scooter, 3 meals and shelter in a nice hotel, and a 1,000 a month gift card in NYC.

Yeah driving back from the north and seeing the sign "welcome to the south" was nice warm fuzzy feelings. The hospitality is like nothing I've experienced before and I've moved around a lot. I love it here hence laying down roots but I miss the friendliness.

I appreciate your heartfelt warmth on the matter

yeah, i had the same question a few months back. Wasn't sure where they draw the line for south and north.

On a map it's more central if anything, but culturally has historically been considered Southern.

WTF is MMA? I assume that's what you meant.
