For MANY years I've been asked what part of the south I come from--people are trying to place my accent. This always amuses me because I lived in Fresno for 36 years--nowhere else until I moved to San Diego. I guess now I can tell them that I live in SOUTHERN California.
I realize that I say y'all, but I don't think I really have an accent. Robert always gets nervous when we spend time in the actual South--because then my "accent" gets stronger. He jokingly forbids me to listen to people talk when we're there.
I think a southern accent is cute. I wouldn't mind having one.

"Life is a terminal condition. We're all going to die." Quote from a Kris Carr, on Oprah, who has terminal cancer. She maintains that since we're ALL going to die, we might as well make the most out of the LIFE we have to LIVE. Good suggestion!

I grew up in the south (Georgia) and I don't have an accent. If I'm around people with an accent or watch Gone With the Wind then it comes out a little bit. My husband says it comes out sometimes when I'm angry too. I agree that they are cute, on women. On men they just sound stupid, in my opinion.
