Hey Kaptain,
A lot of folks don't realize that Oklahoma is really in the South so we have a lot of the same cultural characteristics as the deep South but it's not quite the same. I've had friends who have moved to the deep South and said they had trouble getting used to people just dropping by and spending time. I lived in Mississippi for 7 years in my youth. I had a good friend from when I was about 11 (I'm 55 now). A couple of years ago he called me out of the blue just to 'visit' and catch up. He found me on the Internet. I had not talked to him in literally 40 years.

I beg to differ with many of these.

Living in FL I'm often amazed how infrequent visitors come to my house empty handed. In NY we NEVER went empty handed.

Growing up Italian everyone, males and females were greeted with a hug and kiss. In FL when male greets male the southern gentleman is often standoffish. They feel it's unmanly for males to greet with a hug.

I've never called my parents Mr and Mrs. They've always been called mom and dad. No one I knew growing up called their parents Mr/Mrs

To this day when we have family dinner or family gatherings we sit and talk for hours. Never leaving the table.

Once again our home was an open revolving door for visitors. Very few friends knocked. Most close friends walked in and always sought my mom to say Hi.

Maybe, it's the area of Florida which I live. I can say most southern in this area lack work ethic and family morals. They have no sense of family.

Almost all of my friends called my mother "Mom". Very few called her Mrs B*******

I agree. At the same time the born and raised Floridians in this area are the worst especially when it comes to family values. They have none.
