<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 89797, member: 201&quot;]Goodness, I can imagine moving from Mass to the Deep South would be a big culture shock, especially for a teenager! </p><p><br /></p><p>I was a middle-aged adult when I moved to Texas so it was easier. Oddly enough, I found people in Texas to be more like the people I grew up with in NYC than people here in Massachusetts. In NY, when people aren&#039;t being rude they&#039;re often very chatty and friendly even with strangers, and I found Texans to be that way. Here in MA, lots of people are far more reserved unless they know you.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was thinking more about the &quot;sir&quot; and &quot;madam&quot; thing. In Texas, it seemed like it was just part of the general friendliness of people, kind of like a verbal smile. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
