- High Fructose Corn Syrup
- Calories
- Processed foods
- Organic foods

- Really good Hygiene practices
- dust everywhere
- predictable schedule
- lots of body odor in the house if there are workers fixing things
- workers cleaning up after themselves
- workers leaving all the doors open to "cool" off the house
- workers wanting to hug your two year old all the time
- Feeling VERY much on display if by yourself in a small grocery store. Let alone being 9 months pregnant. I'm sure they were all thinking "why isn't that woman's husband doing the shopping!!" (Thankfully he does 90% of the time. asking him to buy the right kind of face soap and pantyliners and floor cleaner are just not fair!)
- going the speed limit (too fast and too slow are equally acceptable)
- having directions and street names and house numbers i.e. being able to communicate WHERE you are or where someone else is
- Justice - in the sense of "All men are created equal"
- racism
- having a place to go with your kids other than the grocery store
- being sweaty
- being hot
- sharing a cup of water with the family you are visiting
These are all things that you basically can't care about or have a strong opinion about if you live life on our side of town. Some of these things change on the other side of town, many don't.

And I thought being pregnant in a Georgia summer was bad! #9 reminds me of German trains and buses in the summer...
Nice list, Steph!
