That there is an Are Vee, Clark.

When Mark asked him if he loved it in in KY, That pause and glance downward before that soft “I do - but I don’t,” was the most satisfying , Appalachian way to show appreciation and contempt simultaneously. I wish people from other regions of the country understood these internal conflicts with Appalachians. Our fleeing sense of comfort tied down to our familiar kinships and centuries of generational decline. This guy gets it.

​@@kathyking5372I'm in northern Pennsylvania and pretty rural. The nearest store is Dollar General and it's about 7 miles away. When you run out of something you are out of it for a while. There are no corner stores and most people that live in cities that cry about food deserts have no idea that they can still hop on a bus and get groceries. A 4 block walk is a hardship to them and the bleeding hearts cry about it while us rural folk shrug, tighten our belts and do without til we get a ride to the store next week.

Dude was boring and a liar, mostly.

It’s tough in Eastern Kentucky when it involves economic opportunities however it’s still a safe environment for someone to start a family. There’s no gangs or random shootings like in other impoverished paces across America. However there is individuals that will snatch the life from you if you cross them with negative intentions. There’s just not much too lose since you didn’t have much anyway. People in Appalachia are monumentally big on respect. They give so they think they should receive as well. It’s a fascinating culture.

Well, my friend wheels in with the dolly and accidently drops a small case of sodas on the floor exploding soda and glass everywhere. He quickly attempts to clean things up when this female clerk just walks right through the spilled soda and broken glass. Concerned, my friend shouts "Hey! Don't walk here, you'll get all cut up!"

Hahaha great way to describe it. Totally agree.

This is my introduction to Appalachian. My interest was mostly the sore eye. Since I have a thing going with my eye muscle being different in one eye. And a thing going where my relationship with my father always was mysterious. Never really knew him. He got abusive and vulgar as time went on. Eventually divorced my mother. And cancelled the deceased papers before he died of me and my younger brother. Which was strange. He told me he wanted to see me and that he cared about me. He send christmas cards or new year cards asking for contact. But never called at all. Only send cards around christmas and new year time. That was odd. Later at crematiin of my father found out that there was a colleague at work that spend time with my father. And this happened behind the back of my family. Only after suspecting something was going on which was my father suddenly asking my mother if she be working or not. And then to have my father spend time with this colleague. My mother all confused when the contacting between her and my father was so distant. That any time she wanted to talk that my father cut the conversation and do something else. Even with my company at the table when we ate together. There was always this slight push for a conflict. Always this undertone. That wasnt healthy. I dont know if that moment was already the part where this colleague from my fathers work was trying to break the family up. This colleague is all rosey over her time spend with my father. But at the same time when the house content of my father had to be divided among family members. She, the colleague, was there. Trying to claim as much as possible. She told she was part of my fathers life and claimed to have a right to also share some things my father had. Which is not true. The first will be the children of the father. So that was a bit hectic. Also this woman did wanted to give the keys of my fathers house back. I guess she wanted to have some control over it. This is only the surface.
