Click on the state(s) you've lived in - and see if you really act like you're from there!

You Know You're From... When...

Both of the Oregon lists are great, but I identify with the Eugene list most than Portland's -- but then, I never really outgrew my college experience living in Eugene, even after 24 years...

As they say, old hippies never die, they just hang out at the Fifth Street Public Market!

 

[chandab]

Ok, I looked up Montana, lived here most of my life; too many fit. :lol:

And, I looked up Colorado, lived there for 3 years; 1/4 of them fit.

[Marty]

I looked up Connecticut which is my real home and most of it doesn't apply

so I went to Tennessee and about half does apply

then I went back to Florida and 99% does apply

Oh Gosh, where do I really belong in this world!!!!! :new_shocked:

 

[Sterling]

This is pretty cool!!! I've been in Jersey way to long! :lol:

 

[lvponies]

I've only lived in WV for 7 years. None of them meant anything to me. Prior to living here I lived in VA for 20+ years. I am definitely from VA. They all made sense!! My mother's family is from NC and we spent alot of time down there when I was young. About 60% of of the NC things were appropriate.

 

[keeperofthehorses]

OMG!!! You know you're from Idaho when the wind is faster than your truck.

That pretty much sums it up.

 

[stormo41]

LOL thats so funny and true i live in Ontario Canada in a small town called Beamsville where the doller stores and convince stores have price wars. it's ture we have 2 dollor stores was three but one went out of busniess, and 2 convince stores thats 4 of them on one street!!! we also have 2 thrift stores, 3 pizza places all very close to each other.

 

[runamuk]

it stinks to be driven out of where you grew up just because of MONEY (the ultimate evil)

 

[Feather1414]

I am a California girl alright!

[KrisP]

OH LORDY does the Cleveland one fit my hubby and inlaws!!!!! :lol:

Your idea of fine cuisine includes keilbasa and Stroh's beer

Party music involves an accordion ( I have learned to Polka AND do the bird at weddings!)

The phrase "lake effect" strikes terror in your heart

Your second car is completely dissolved by salt by the time April rolls around

"Good Morning from the Buzzard Morning Zoo" is a jingle you'll never forget.

You heard Bill Clinton and Drew Carey love Parma Pierogies, but you have yet to ever eat there (BUT REALLY LAUGHING!!! MIL JUST BROUGHT US THESE LAST WEEK!! YUMMMMM!!)

You know more about Frankie Yankovic than Weird Al Yankovic

You're still dumbfounded by the Leaping Fountain in Tower City. (HUBBY ACTUALLY WORKED ON THIS PROJECT!)

Oh lordy, laughing so hard here!!!!!!!!!!! :aktion033: :aktion033: :aktion033:

Thanks for making my day and YES, sent it on to his mom!!

[CyndiM]

Oh that was tooo funny! And a little to real.

I started out in Indiana (so many fit), moved to Iowa for about three years, then to California for a lot of years, and BACK to IOWA most all of them fit to a T. :aktion033: :new_shocked:

 

[REO]

Born, bred, raised and lived in CA and they didn't match me. CA is more than S.F. or L.A.

:

I come from farming country between the two LOL!

 

[hobbyhorse23]

Oh dear lord, I am SO a Washington native! LOL. A lot of the Oregon ones fit too, but yes, I do judge a nice day by whether "the mountain is out" or not.

:

In winter, you go to work in the dark and come home in the dark -- while only working eight-hour days. This is so me right now!

You have no concept of humidity without precipitation.

You obey all traffic laws EXCEPT "keep right except to pass."

You know at least eight people who work for either Microsoft or Boeing.

You consider floating bridges a pain in the butt, not an engineering marvel.

You know how to pronounce "Sequim", "Puyallup" and "Issaquah." Sqwim, Pew-al-up, Is-uh-quah. Do you want me to add Kalamath, Sammamish, Whatcom, Snoqualmie, and some of the odder towns we have?

A "designer" wardrobe comes from REI, Eddie Bauer, Lands End, and Birkenstock.

You consider it a sunny day if the sun is visible at some point of the day.

When you're discussing rainforests and volcanoes, you're NOT talking about Hawaii.

You Remember the Kingdome

You have tried to forget about WTO

We were discussing at work the other day the fact that some people actually do not know what a "sun break" is. :new_shocked: Seemed completely impossible to those of us born here.

[Lewella]

Yep, certainly some accurate Minnesota ones! My favorites -

You've not only walked across a lake, you've driven across one. (And had keg parties on them when I was in college.)

You have worn shorts and a parka at the same time. (How about a nightgown, parka and snow boots?)

People from other states love to hear you say words with "o"s in them. (I had this happen in Indiana once. Some guy asked me say "about" several times - LOL)

 

[minimama]

Native Californian here. Most of the ones I read fit. Some are just so sad!

: Very definitely the bay area and teh one just for the state fit too.

 

[Miniv]

A lot of both Oregon AND Washington overlapped for me.......

and what was scarey was I also recognized a lot of Massachussetts and it's been 27 years since I lived there!

The one's that I found the most true for Houston: Too cute! :bgrin

"You have to turn on the air conditioning in January, two days after a low of 29 degrees."

"You come to work in short-sleeves and walk out at noon to find that a "blue-tailed norther" has blown through, and the temperature has dropped 40 degrees in a matter of minutes."

"You think y'all is a perfectly good word when you're referring to more than one person."

"If the humidity is below 90 percent, it's a good hair day."

"You go to an art festival on Westheimer and you're almost run down by two hand- holding cross dressers on roller blades."

"Spring is not the season, Katy is not the lady, and 1960 is not the year."
