Love the avatar - FLAG of THE GREAT STATE OF MISSIPPI. No that's not misspelled ~ that's how we pronounce it.
side note ~ I was born in Biloxi, raised in Columbus, Meridian, West Point, and Gulfport. Mom was born in Louisville (MS...not KY) Got family in all of the above plus Jackson, Brandon, Ackerman, Tupelo and Starkvillle. Just sayin'....I kinda know the state.
