July 16, 201114 yr (I TRIED to explain to my colleague and partner from the Philippines why it didn't feel so comfortable to me when she called me a "hillbilly" in public. I LOVE being acknowledged as a hillbilly by Another hillbilly! But somehow it feels less "fine" when I'm called a hillbilly by someone who is definitely NOT one.) Analogously, I already embrace and buss a colleague who chooses the moniker "Hick on a/the Crick" for a website that is International! I must say, so FINE, SO fine! :-) I, too, am a "hick." And, God willin' and the crick don't rise, I'll remain a hick 'til I die!! Welcome to 99NICU from a kindred spirit!
