| GRITS! I like it. Do you have any membership rules or tests to be

Oh, add it, by all means.  I don’t know what we’d do if any Yankees wanted to be GRITS, fer example, but I’m sure we could be accommodating somehow.  I know there have gotta be tons of GRITS here. You can just tell, ya know.  I’m a fan of Luzianne, both caff and decaf, for hot and for regular (meaning iced) tea & I use Equal in it & a little lemon juice.  How about you?  Could you just live off of iced tea if need be?!!

A friend from South Carolina (living in Texas at the time) bought her daughters GRITS (Girls Raised In The South) t-shirts.  She said that, since her girls were born an raised in Texas, it stood for Girls Raised In TexaS.  I asked, isn’t Texas in the South?  I’m pretty sure she wanted to slap me, but restrained herself.
