Where do you Live?


You Live in California when...
1. You make over $250,000, and you still can't afford to buy a house.
2. The high school quarterback calls a time-out to answer his cell phone.
3. The fastest part of your commute is going down your driveway.
4. You know how to eat an artichoke.
5. You drive your rented Mercedes to your neighborhood block party.
6. When someone asks you how far something is, you tell them how long it will take to get there rather than how many miles away it is.

You Live in New York City when...
1. You say "the city" and expect everyone to know you mean Manhattan.
2. You have never been to the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building.
3. You can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from Columbus Circle to Battery Park, but can't find Wisconsin on a map.
4. You think Central Park is "nature,"
5. You believe that being able to swear at people in their own language makes you multi-lingual.
6. You've worn out a car horn.
7. You think eye contact is an act of aggression.

You Live in Maine when...
1. You only have four spices: salt, pepper, ketchup, and Tabasco.
2. Halloween costumes fit over parkas.
3. You have more than one recipe for moose.
4. Sexy lingerie is anything flannel with less than eight buttons.
5. The four seasons are: winter, still winter, almost winter, and construction.

You Live in the Deep South when...
1. You can rent a movie and buy bait in the same store.
2."ya'll" is singular and "all ya'll" is plural.
3. After five years you still hear, "You ain't from 'round here, are Ya?"
4. "He needed killin' " is a valid defense.
5. Everyone has 2 first names: Billy Bob, Jimmy Bob, Mary Sue, Betty Jean, etc.

You live in Colorado when....
1. You carry your $3,000 mountain bike atop your $500 car.
2. You tell your husband to pick up Granola on his way home, and he stops at the day care center.
3. A pass does not involve a football or dating.
4. The top of your head is bald, but you still have a pony tail.

You live in the Midwest when...
1. You've never met any celebrities, but the mayor knows your name.
2. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor.
3. You have had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" on the same day.
4. You end sentences with a preposition: "Where's my coat at?"
5. When asked how your trip was to any exotic place, you say, "It was different!"

You live in Florida when....
1. You eat dinner at 3:15 in the afternoon.
2. All purchases include a coupon of some kind -- even houses and cars.
3. Everyone can recommend an excellent dermatologist.
4. Road construction never ends anywhere in the state.
5. Cars in front of you are often driven by headless people.

Yeah, I've done it!

It's crazy in the midwest...in a the spring time during the beginning of a week it could be a new high of 80-90 degrees, whereas towards the end of the week it's snowing again.

Hmmm....being from Maine i have a few comments:

1. You only have four spices: salt, pepper, ketchup, and Tabasco.
This is so true you would be surprised! Alot of French Canadians here who live by those four "spices". :)


2. Halloween costumes fit over parkas.

Bah! Who needs a parka during Halloween?


3. You have more than one recipe for moose.

Who doesnt have more than one recipe for moose? Of course you cant hunt it without a special permit and only 1000 (give or take depending on the year) get a permit each hunting season.


4. Sexy lingerie is anything flannel with less than eight buttons.

Ummm...maybe in Northern Maine..but down here it is less than 6 buttons! :)



5. The four seasons are: winter, still winter, almost winter, and construction.

Actually we say the following: "Maine has two seasons: Winter and July!" :D

And there you have a breakdown of lfe in Maine, only 1.2million people in the State that is bigger than the rest of New England combined, has more coastline than the entire East Coast combined (from NH to FL).

I find that very difficult to belive.

The South thing is about right, so is the midwest one. You could put the spice thing for the midwest too. These people here eat such incredibly bland food it's sick.

Florida has more coastline than any other state, afaik (except maybe alaska..)
we'll just say of the 48 contiguous states.
With the atlantic and the gulf, plus ALL of the keys, it adds up to quite a bit.

http://www.floridahistory.org/floridians/setting.htm
Water shaped nearly every aspect of Florida's development. Florida's coastline of 2,276 miles is, greater tan any other state in the Continental United States.

http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/newsrel/science/videoedition2002.htm
Stretching for 1,100 miles, California's coastline is an invaluable state asset with global influence.
