As for what I am cooking I am making a roast in the crockpot since it is over 90* here. Thank you for asking.
I live in the North, and say Y'all all the time! I have even used it during a few interviews, I have yet to interview for a job, and not get it!!

Here up north, people who use "Proper" English are usually refered to as "Uptight".
