Hillbillys really do appear to be stand-offish don't they. We moved here in 1974 and people are just now starting to accept the fact that I'm a hillbilly.
I live in the SE corner of Oklahoma, 50 miles from Arkansas and 75 miles from Texas. It's mountain country. I love it but it did take a while to be "accepted" even though I am related to many people here.

You do live in the best part of OK, that is for sure 
I was accepted really fast here, it is the east central part of KY, I grew up in the far hills of eastern KY. Still KY, but quite different. I lived in several states in the time in between.
When I lived in Oregon, people did not like me at all at first, they were quite snobbish until they found out I was a hillbilly and not a texican. All was fine then

California natives have to go icognito in Oregon. We usually try to claim we're from Canada: it's healthier.You do live in the best part of OK, that is for sure

I love Maine! Of course, I grew up across the Bay from you. We don't call it snobbish, but reserved, perhaps also taciturn. Nothing wrong with that.
I love Oklahoma, too. And we try to get to Bowling Green, KY, for the races each year. It's beautiful.

Perhaps, or maybe she just hates the smell.
I used to be a smoker. When I quit, I promised myself, solemnly, to never become a non-smoking Nazi. I think I've mostly succeeded but it's hard to be sure sometimes. I do know, though, that there are some things that a smoker really can't know.
Like about the smell.
I can smell a smoker from 6 feet away. So can any non-smoker. Seriously. Okay, you can get used to that. But it's ten times worse when the smoker lights up. And a hundred times worse in an enclosed space.
Honestly, I don't know that the health effects of secondhand smoke are really all that well documented. I do know, though, that when someone smokes right next to me I have to breath it in. Health effects bedamned, I just don't want to breath it, you know?
I'm quite glad that no one is allowed to smoke in our office, for example. Even closing my door wouldn't help if one of the people right next to me lit up.
OTOH, I don't know that protecting kids from their own parents is such a good idea. I remain unconvinced either way on that specific legislation.

Maine sucks...
Maine is the only new england state ive never been to.
which makes you eminently qualified to pass judgment on it.
