I am a Yankee who has lived in different areas of the US. There came a time when I realized I would rather be around a person who tells you to your face they don't like you rather than someone who "loves" you to your face and stabs you in the back. Best of all though is when the honest person likes you. :) Thank you for your down to earth posts. I've been following you even though it doesn't get me anywhere. Haha
