Ok I was raised good Southern girl and I learned a lot of valuable lessons from my mother.  I hope that I have instilled many of them in my own daughter. 

A good Southern girl never leaves the house without a little lipgloss and clean undies. 

A good Southern girl always uses her manners,(Thank you, please, yes sir, no ma'am) especially with people who are serving her...(like the people at a drive thru window or the checker at the store)

A good Southern girl knows there is a time and place for everything.

AND A good Southern girl never, ever discusses politics or religion with folks she doesn't know well.  While I was certainly raised to have my own opinions about these things (and trust me I do) I would never speak  them with people I don't know well because these are delicate issues that can make people upset and easily and quickly alienate them. 

Here on AR I don't know any of you well enough to speak of these 2 topics because as a good southern girl it would simply be inappropriate.  Also as a Realtor I am in a business that is based upon giving good customer service and getting referrals and I wouldn't want to alienate anyone by discussing such personal issues in a public forum. 

Earlier tonight I read a politically charged post and was fairly offended then it occurred to me that not all of us are raised 'good Southern girls' and maybe they just didn't know better. 

All the Best!
