ADVICE FOR ANYONE MOVING TO NORTH CAROLINA

3. If you do run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in the cab of a four wheel drive with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them. Just stay out of their way. This is what they live for.
5. Remember: "Y'all" is singular. "All y'all" is plural. "All y'all's" is plural possessive.
6. Get used to hearing "You ain't from around here, are ya?"
14. Don't tell us how you did it up there. Nobody cares.
24. The value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but the availability of shade.
25. If you see a slower moving vehicle on a two lane road pull onto the shoulder that is called "courtesy".
30. DO NOT honk your horn at us to be obnoxious, we will sit there until we die!
34. "Bless your Heart" is a nice way of saying you're an idiot.

34B.- "you must have bumped your head."
36. Leave the 'city attitude' up there.
37. Leave the socialist voting pattern up there.
 
Welcome.
Fellow MA Escapee here.
Gotta love longer summers, shorter winter, No AWB or magazine bans, Standard is standard, not "illegal high capacity."
You might have to get used to complete stranger waving at you can saying hello in your neighborhood.
You can tell who the transplants are on the road. They are the ones that use their blinkahs. Locals view that as giving information to the enemy. So keep some extra distance on the more rural roads.
You will love not having to get letters of reference, or writing a letter to the sheriff explaining why you are special enough to deserve a CC permit. MA has what can only be described an an arbitrary and capricious permitting system that is zip code dependent.

We came here mainly to get away from New England winters. Getting away from the politics was a glorious bonus. And no I am not a Patriots fan, not a sports fan at all really.

I don't watch a lot of sports. Not a football fan per se. But I am a Patriots fan. A true football fan can watch any football game, knows the teams, the stats etc. I can't even name all of the Patriots starters but I like to watch the games. I'm sure Boston EMS watches the games too so they know when to expect a surge in calls for cardiac events. :D
