Good idea, but the dialogue
Good idea, but the dialogue is unreadable and I didn't get past the first paragraph.
I couldn't even decipher the title.
Keep writing, I have enjoyed your other stories.
Thanks

Uhm, just so it's known?
We don't really talk -- or type -- like that.
At least, not most of us.

As a fellow Arkansan
(like Rasufelle, I believe), I wholeheartedly concur. Though raised in what could be considered "redneck" country, many of us who were are highly intelligent, complicated, sophisticated souls who enjoy culture. Though I know how to speak like that, I have left it far behind. My high class friends think I'm jest finer than a frog hair split 3 ways..... **sigh** I do relapse now and then.
Sighs are the natural language of the heart.
-Thomas Shadwell
Yep! :D
Don't get me wrong, I DO know a handful of people who speak that way. If you're from Arkansas then there's a good chance you've heard of a little place in Cleburne County known as Prim. Well, I don't live too far from there.
On the other hand, even the people who DO speak like that don't tend to type that way. You're just as likely to see them cruising through town blasting rap from the windows of their camouflage Chevy while texting their girlfriends on their iPhone as you are to see them listening to Hank Williams and talking about hunting.
Times, they are a changin'.

Went To Prim Not Long Ago
I visited a nice summer camp for business reasons. That's a pretty area. How many Arkansans are there visiting BC? I know of at least two.

Good but..
I have nothing against using expressing regional dialect in stories, but I think this one has gone a bit far. I found this very difficult to read. Virtually every word is misspelt, making it hard to comprehend. I think you could get the same effect, and make it much more readable, if most of the words were correct, and only a few deliberate misspellings.
Alternatively, you could keep the text as is but provide a translation for readers who have difficulty. This is the approach I have used before in one of my stories (here). Although when I did this it was only for a few paragraphs and not for a whole story, so I don't know how well that would work here.
I liked the story, its just that I would have liked it better if I didn't have to spend so long deciphering what was being said.

It's actually
fairly easy to read if you remember to forget Rules of english and spelling, and just think of the words as they sound instead of how they are spelled in day to day use. Thinks phoeneticically
Phonetic spelling
The important thing to remember when reading a regional dialect, especially one so divergent from "mainstream" English, is that you need to see the words phonetically. This story also adds in texting shortcuts to that, but everything is understandable once you remember to sound out the words in your head. This calls to mind a very simple example that many of you may have encountered in the past (off the top of my head and probably missing a line or two):
C dem ducks?
M R not ducks
M R 2!
C dem wings?
C dem beaks?
L I B! M R 2 ducks!
Not as colloquial as Jennifer's story, but you get the idea. Sound it out in your mind. Then it makes sense.

Phonetic spellling?
yes, this one is phonetic, but it may be a little more difficult to figure out!

If someone figures it out, post it here to help the rest of us out!

Loved it!
Amazing writing, Not only a good little story with heart! But the talent to completely immerse the reader in both the culture and people of the story. I am not in your class as a writer so please understand I really Loved this!!! Please continue the story, And please don't change the way you are writing it.
