Some people who I miss
People who know the difference between a hissy fit and a conniption fit, and that you don't "HAVE" them, you "PITCH" them.
People who know how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens, peas, beans, etc., make up "a mess."
People who can show or point out to you the general direction of "yonder."
People who know exactly how long "directly" is -- as in: "Going to town, be back directly."
People who know that "Gimme some sugar" is not a request for the white, granular sweet substance that sits in a pretty little bowl in the middle of the table.
People who can use "fixin" as a noun, a verb, or an adverb.
People who say, "Well, I caught myself lookin'."
