What the heck did they do to the Heinz Ketchup???

I popped in to Zellers yesterday, for no particular reason and I saw these signs in the automotive department - metal signs - and the one on top said Southern Born - then some red white and blue logo type thing then Southern Bred.

I think they were on sale, perhaps not a big seller

I did not see any ketchup at Zellers

I got some great deals at Zellers when I was home for Christmas! (Hats & mits, slippers and boots.)

As to the metal signs.... that's just weird. Maybe it will make sense to someone who is southern born and/or bred?

Those signs usually mean the person exhibiting it is very proud of their Southern...and the red, white, and blue logo is probably the Confederate Flag emblem - which to some represents a subtle hint of racism. I'm Southern born but I don't subscribe to the Confederate "the south will rise again" belief. Just MHO.

Yeah - but I live in Canada

As an aside, my GG grandfather (from Ireland) was a enlisted in to the confederate army - he deserted and joined the union army as he didn't believe in slavery. Yay gg grandfather!

I have his court martial records (for an unrelated matter - he swore at an officer - or not, depending on who you believe haha)

I just asked Joel about that...he says to some Cdns the Confederate (or Rebel) flag means "bad azz"...that they're wannabes. I guess that makes sense?

Yay for your GG grandfather!

Yay gg grandfather!!!!! That's interesting that you have his court martial records. What was the outcome?

Yeah.... I guess there are misguided and uneducated people everywhere.

They let him off, conflicting stories - but he got out of it - he said he didn't swear at the guy and from what I know of him that probably means he really didn't - but who knows!

And yes Karen, it is a sign of that here, Joel is absolutely right. A couple of weeks ago we saw a guy in a small pickup with confederate flags as back 'curtains' on the window - we laughed - silly people.

Bagels are in the oven, just flipped them over!

My fiance knows what a bagel is... but he has noo clue what an English Muffin is. His face was clueless when I mentioned it. But I also had no clue what a biscuit was.

Also, I've noticed difference it what we call things. Such as In Canada, we call it a Pogo... but they call it a Corn Dog! And I Say Converter and he says Remote Control. lol

My husband has learned lots of "Southernisms" since moving to Georgia. Some I've found hard to explain even though I've used them all my life. Does that make sense? Anywho, I bought him a couple of books to help him along: The Dixie Dictionary and How To Speak Southern.

BTW, we live in the Northeast Georgia mountains, near where the Cabbage Patch Dolls are "born".

Cool my wife's parents live in Cleveland, GA and we go back to visit every once in awhile. We go boating on that big lake there and love it...

So we had the Lipton's chicken noodle (box kind) soup for dinner last night. Disappointing. It wasn't salty enough. It did say it has 25% less salt than the original, but it was on the bottom shelf at the supermarket (which had a lot of emtpy shelves btw - staff shortages per usual) - so I wasn't willing to crawl around on the floor to see if there was some 'regular' at the back of the shelf.

Oh and the flavoring didn't come in the customary blob, it was powder like!

Who buys the stuff on the bottom shelves anyway, garden gnomes?

We just moved from Cleveland to Demorest...about a 12 minute move. I teach in White County schools which are in Cleveland. What big lake?
