The people who live in Tennesee and Kentucky and states in a line with Indiana, indignantly say: "We are not yankees!" Its those people who live up New York way....
When you ask, The people in NY and Jersey say, WE are not yankees ( except for baseball) Those people live up in Maine, NH and Vermont.
When you ask any New Englander from those states, who the REAL Yankees are, they will tell you this....
Ayah.... its those Vermonters who eat pie for breakfast!!!
Being a native of NH, well.... We laugh at ourselves!

Some people have nothing better to do than look for excuses to complain to someone about something meaningless and insignificant, and end up hurting someone's feelings. That's just mean. I'm sure that the person who PM'd you has been following this thread and is feeling pretty ridiculous by now. After all, if you can't laugh at yourself, you must be a very sad person.
Here's a little true story:
I was a natural blonde all my life until I was 23 and I got pregnant with my first child in 1963, then my hair started turning brown and by the time he was born, my hair was dark brown! Apparently it was caused by some kind of a hormonal change. Of course the baby was born a pure platinum blonde and he still is! I was hoping that when I was expecting my second child that the hormones would turn me blonde again - NOT ! So I've been dark brown ever since 1963 and guess what? I think that's when I got REALLY smart! LOL

Carol, that is so weird! Wow, I never heard of THAT kind of hormonal change!!
I wasn't upset that someone pm'd me- I was sorry I hurt her feelings but I had absolutely no intention to hurt anyone. I'm surprised that I did but then again- not surprised LOL
