Back from the Mountains of Kentucky
by Some things learned while in Kentucky:
- The food is horrendous
- Even if you have Analog phone service, you still cant send text messages
- People who live in trailers even think they need to simplify their life
- The Baptist and the Pentecostals will test your Bible knowledge
- People actually stand by the long conclusion in Mark 16 for a basis for their faith
- If you dont have an SUV you cant reach some of the houses/trailers
- Old tires make great flower pots in the front lawn
- They are in absolutely no rush, so you can stay at the door for hours
- When driving off on one of the dirt side roads, you may just end up in a marijuana plantation, at which point you turn the vehicle around and get out of there before you get shot
- Yes even the 12 year old sons have rifles that they play with
- When having a pet wolf, make sure it is chained up because it will kill everything
- The highest paid jobs are coal miners at a whopping $25 an hour
- Walmart is open 24/7 and it is the social life after 9pm
- The locals dont know how beautiful a golf course they have down there
- Rattlesnakes and Copperheads are poisonous and are in the high grass
- You will eventually begin your presentation with "How Y'All doin round here??" and than say to yourself, did I just speak like a southerner??
- Sonic shakes ARE good
- The Cumberland Gap is beautiful
- You begin to value every single tooth in your mouth
- I cant believe there is such a thing as a dry county
- Even the most unlivable trailers will have a satellite dish hooked up to it (even some with 52" LCD TV's)
- I love NJ

no one looks at you weird when you have a gun locker filled with guns - the only reason living in the south would possibly appeal to me
My dad has a gun locker. LOL!
nice. i need one. i love going into the pawn shops down south like in North Carolina and handling all the old guns haha... i love guns...
have you ever been shot?
no. ha. only with bb's and paintballs. and i liked it.
i don't really like guns for the fact of .. shooting or violence.. i like the really old guns like the ones that cowboys used. ha. i just think they look cool and historically they are cool. i don't actually want to shoot anyone. and automatic weapons do nothing for me. i just like the old old guns.
oh yeahhh, clean it up, kam heston
"from my cold dead hands....."
lol
"a gun rack... a gun rack. shyeah, Right! i don't even own a gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack. what am I gonna do... with a gun rack?"
haha i love wayne's world
My parents pioneered in Kentucky for 2 or so years. My mom learned a lot of good southern cooking. Like biscuits and gravy. They're awesome.
wow, sounds like a pretty awesome experience!!
i want a pet wolf
Let me tell you it is so cool... the family was really nice and they let us see the wolf chained up, I wish I could have one too
I know a guy in Chester, NJ that has a wolf or two. Very large.
i want one too! my sisters Siberian husky was part wolf.
ANNND i want a monkey
no one would mess with you if you had a pet wolf.
they wouldnt mess w/me if i had a monkey either....that monkey will know karate!
we're so gettin' monkeys
HECK YES!!!
there were warnings up in belize not to try to keep monkeys as pets. they're dirty and can be very dangerous, plus it's illegal in this country. so not to be a buzzkill but some things should not even be joked about!!
oooh... but on a serious note, look at the pics on the testimonials page
ohhhh, that first pic on the testimonial page made me queasy
Now whenever I went somewhere public, I left Koto in the car. He retaliated by chewing the seats, taking off his diaper and smearing poop around the car, and destroying anything I had left lying around.
ha
THANNNNNNK YOU debbie downer!!! :P
the monkeys randomly attacking people totally reminds me of my cat. you can just be petting her and she'll be all nice, and then without any warning signs she attack you, and try to rip your face off.
This sounds like my cat, PoPo. They should be friends.
"There's always that one guy at a party that tells you all the reaons you don't want a monkey----they poop in their hand in throw in around in a festive manner---but what you don't understand is....those are all the reasons i WANT a pet monkey".
i feel ya, yo. a party aint a party til the monkey's flinging poo at the guests.

Kentucky in october is much nicer. People must be a lot nicer then too. The territory we worked was extremely receptive, we placed about 150 books and answered about 4 prayers so I would say that kentuckians must just not do well in the heat. What county did you guys go to by the way?
We were in Bell County. Where did you guys go? How long were you there for?
We went to leslie county for a week. You didn't happen to go with the eadys did you?
No, I went with the Gillette congregation... Who did you go with?
I went with my hall (Roseto cong.) and some from stroudsburg hall.
