Things To Know Before Moving To Dothan, Alabama

Dothan, AL- Every time I turn around, another Northerner is moving into my neighborhood. I'm beginning to think all my neighbors are Yankees. This is not really a problem, but obviously most of these people are not prepared for how we do things in Dothan. Here are some things you need to know before moving to Dothan.

Never order a bottle of pop or a can of soda in Dothan. It's referred to as, "Coke". You don't have to worry about getting the wrong beverage; the waitress will always ask "what kind of Coke"? If she doesn't ask, she's from the North and you have the right to correct her for her failing.

If you order tea, expect for it to be sweetened--and iced. If you want hot tea or unsweetened tea you'll be wise to let somebody know that you're not from around here.

We are fully aware of high the humidity is in Dothan; we've lived here our whole lives. Look around at our senior ladies; they didn't get their great complexions out of a bottle. If you don't believe it have a look at the seniors who spent their whole lives in the dessert. Be thankful for the humidity, we are.

We are also aware of how hot it is in the summertime. We don't complain about it, we sit in the shade, we move a little slower and we drink a lot of tea. It works you should try it.

Yes, we know how to speak proper English; believe it or not Dothan schools teach English as well as our colleges. We speak this way because we don't want to sound like you.

Never try to fake a Southern accent, you can't do it and we will laugh at you just like we did Dan Aykroyd in Driving Miss Daisy.

Misuse of the word Ya'll is the first indicator of a Yankee faking a Southern accent. "Ya'll" is always plural as well as it's possessive "Ya'lls". "You" and "Your" are used in the singular. Keep it straight.

A southern dialect will naturally creep into your speech. Most Northerners adopt "Big ole" first, as in "Big ole truck", or "Big ole glass of iced tea". Though most Northerners adopting a southern accent are in denial about this fact.

It is not wise to ridicule Southern manners. We say sir and ma'am. We seldom make a commotion in public, and we do our best not to be uppity. People who do not have manners weren't raised right--nuff said.

Never try to explain to someone in Dothan how barbecue should be prepared--you might just end up in a pine box.

We refer to all of our females as ladies, and all of them are, even if you think otherwise.

We know that some of our older drivers have trouble keeping the car in the right lane of traffic. We never yell at them, we just shake our head and say "bless their heart" then say a silent prayer that they will get home safely.

If there is even the slightest prediction of snow, we will close all the schools and you must make your way to the nearest grocery store to buy milk and bread whether you need it or not.

We don't care if you can drive in the snow, we deserve the time off and we're going to take it.

You can ask anyone in Dothan for directions, but unless you know where things used to be you'll continue to be lost. Case in point, "to get your new car tags, turn right at the First National Bank, go past the Houston Hotel and then the Greyhound Bus Terminal, it's the tall building behind Dothan Federal Savings and Loan, if you get to the Supreme Ice Cream you went too far".

If you wonder where everyone is on a Sunday morning--we're in church. You are well advised to stay off the roads between noon and 12:30 on Sunday because the Baptists are trying to beat the Methodists to Piccadilly; it's not for the faint of heart.

Never attempt to drive past the telephone company on the last date to pay the telephone bill. We park in the middle of the street to make payment regardless of the traffic needing to get by. Just accept it.

Fall marks the beginning of the social season in the south. Some southern cities begin by inviting a select few to very elite parties (e.g., Harvest Ball in Atlanta). In Dothan, we include everybody in the festivities; it's called the Peanut Festival, same principle but a whole lot more fun.

In short, be respectful of old people, raise your kids right, find a good church, and let Dothan keep the charm it's always had--then we'll all get along just fine.

Ya'll Come!

Things to Consider Before Buying Cable Ties

If you are a newbie at buying cable ties then it would be a good idea to spend a couple of minutes reading this article. There are several things you need to consider before you can place the actual order for your cable ties. The task isn't as easy as it seems and there is a lot you need to think about before you place the actual order.

It may seem like a simple task to pick out cable-ties but the fact is that each one is manufactured for a different use. You cannot use the same cable-ties that are meant for prisoners on your laundry bags. In order to ascertain which ones suit you best it would be a good idea to do some research beforehand. Most manufacturers have their own sites up and running; go through their extensive catalogues and find out what kind of cable-ties would serve you best. At times you can even view a company's entire stock in their catalogue. Investing a few minutes and going through the different products wouldn't be such a bad idea. You may even end up buying a completely different cable ties than the one you set out to get.

It's important you don't just go on the pictures that you find in catalogues. A huge problem of buying things online or from catalogues in some store is that you can't judge the quality of the product you are trying to buy. The good news it that many tie manufacturers provide free samples of whatever they are selling. So, you don't just have to judge quality through the pictures, you can practically see whether or not the ties are worth spending any money on. Instead of buying in bulk completely useless cable ties, you can order just the right one. The beauty of it is that you can ask for several different samples and pick the one that fulfils all your requirements.

Many sites will provide dimensions and technical specifications for their users. You don't have to shoot in the dark and then pray that you end up with the right one. Go and measure the object you need to use the cable ties on and then buy the exact ones that you need. Always remember that you should know your objects inside out before you set out to buy the cable ties. There is rarely room for experimentation with goods that have to be ordered in large volumes and cable ties fall under this criterion.

Are you trying to make a statement with your ties? The idea isn't all that far fetched. The market has diversified itself and cable ties can now actually be customised. If you have a brand theme that you need to follow then it's possible to play with design and colour so that you have something truly unique. Don't shy away from innovation - in the competitive world that we live in today, making a mark and creating brand loyalty and awareness is everything.
