Golden rules really exist to be applied, to be followed, to direct you. Regardless of what your ultimate goal is or what challenge you confront, the guideline is there. Just consider the golden rule that is applicable and accept it…

With that in mind, I considered of life in Alabama and a number of of its unspoken “golden rules”. Listed here are 5 of the most popular “Golden Rules” which apply to residing in Alabama.

Golden Rule 1 Choose Between AU or UA! (Some people might declare it’s most important!): You have to pick between Alabama verses Auburn. The reason, that you might like to do that, is because everybody you encounter in Alabama will in all probability question you who “you are for” and it is always between Auburn & Alabama. Various other local colleges like UAB, Troy, JSU, UNA, South Alabama are merely a passing interest to the majority of residents of Alabama. You must choose between the iron bowl competitors for your loyalty. Keep in mind, if you don’t decide, its almost worse than being for the other side. You are considered a wishy washy fan.

Golden Rule 2, You Have To Eat Corn Bread… Cornbread is as southern as gigging frogs on a hot summer night at the local pond. Remember that cornbread is real good with pinto juice poured on it or even butter..

Golden Rule 3, Attend Church. The reason that this is important is because at least twice a year, Easter or Christmas, people will need to see you there. Otherwise, expect to be asked to attend on a regular basis, because everybody knows everybody, especially in a small town.

Golden Rule 4, Be Polite! Here in the south, we treat people like we would like to be treated and will go the extra mile to help a stranger. . When we are talking to others, we are sure to say please, thank you, & you’re welcome when the need arises. Also, we address our elders by No Sir/Yes Sir and No Ma’am/Yes Ma’am.

Golden Rule 5, Love Alabama Based Music! You have to love any music that has something to do with Alabama. This would definitely include all the hits by the greatest country music band of all time history, the group Alabama. One song is especially near and dear to Alabamians, and that is “My Home’s In Alabama” . It is important because we love Alabama!

Follow these golden rules to living in Alabama and you will probably find your life here much better in the heart of dixie, and you will live at peace with most Alabama folks, except maybe the fans from the other team! Personally, I am a roll tide man, myself!
