You know you're from Kentucky when:     

No matter how much you think you talk normally, when you head up North they all think you talk like a redneck

Your English teacher says things like "Y'all" and "Ain't Got None"

The best restaurant in town is the Cracker Barrel

No matter how bad UK's basketball team is, you still belive they'll pull it off and make it to the Final 4

You still believe the South should be it's own nation

You believe the Civil War was not a far fight

It's not an uncommon site to see a fat man in overalls and a cowboy hat drivin' down the road in a beat up Chevy with a confederate flag hangin' off the back with music from Johhny Rebel blastin' out of his radio

Biscuits, gravy, and grits is your favorite breakfast

Wakin' up with coons and squirrels on your back porch is not an uncommon thing

To you, huntin' aint killin', its sorta like grocery shoppin'

You own at least 10 country or southern rock cd's

You only own a pair of church shoes and winter shoes

In the summer you don't wear shoes

Even your grandmother chews tobacco

You consider the northern part of the country "The Union"

A rebel flag doesn't symbolize racism to you

Your church parking lot is filled with pickups

The first words out of your mouth every time you see friends are "Howdy!", "HEY!" or "How Y'all Doin'?"

You actually know who Toby Keith, Brooks& Dunn, Keith Urban, Montgomery Gentry, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Garth Brooks, and George Straight are.

A carbonated soft drink is a COKE, regardless of brand or flavor.

You refer to Louisville as "The Ville."

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Kentucky.



Some of these are true. I'll let y'all figure out which ones

2NJ.....a present for your birthday:

You Know You're from New Jersey When...

...you recognize or can relate to at least 10 of these:


You've been seriously injured at Action Park.
You know that the only people who call it "Joisey" are from New York (usually The Bronx) or Texas.
You don't think of citrus when people mention "The Oranges."
You know that it's called "Great Adventure," not "Six Flags."
You've ordered a hard roll with butter for breakfast.
You've known the way to Seaside Heights since you were seven.
You've eaten at a diner, when you were stoned or drunk, at 3 am.
Whenever you park, there's a Camaro within three spots of you.
You remember that the "Two Guys" were from Harrison.
You know that the state isn't one big oil refinery.
At least three people in your family still love Bruce Springsteen, and you know what town Jon Bon Jovi is from.
You know what a "jug handle" is.
You know that a WaWa is a convenience store.
You know that the state isn't all farmland.
You know that there are no "beaches" in new Jersey - there's "The Shore," and you know that the road to the shore is "The Parkway" not "The Garden State Highway."
You know that "Piney" isn't referring to a tree.
Even your school cafeteria made good Italian subs, and, you call it a "sub" not a "submarine sandwich" or worse yet, a "hoagy" or a "hero."
You remember the song from the Palisades Park commercials.
You know how to properly negotiate a Circle.
You knew that the last question had to do with driving.
You know that "Acme" is an actual store, not just a Warner Bros creation.
You know that this is the only "New..." state that doesn't require "New" to identify it (like, try ...Mexico, ...York, ...Hampshire (doesn't work, does it?).
You know how to translate this conversation: "Jeet yet?" "No, Jew?"
You only go to New York City for day trips, and you only call it "The City."
You know that a "White Castle" is the name of BOTH a fast food chain AND a fast food sandwich.
You consider a corned beef sandwich with lettuce and mayo a sacrilege.
In the 80's you wore your hair REALLY high.
You don't think "What exit" (do you live near?) is very funny.
You know that the real first "strip shopping center" in the country is Route 22.
You know that people from 609 area code are "a little different."
You know that no respectable New Jerseyan goes to Princeton - that's for out-of-staters.
The Jets-Giants game has started fights at your school or local bar.
You live within 20 minutes of at least three different malls.
You can see the Manhattan skyline from some part of your town.
You refer to all highways and interstates by their numbers.
Every year, you had at least one kid in your class named Tony.
You know where every "clip" shown in the Sopranos opening credits is.
You've gotten on the wrong highway trying to get out of Willowbrook Mall.
You've eaten a Boardwalk cheesesteak with vinegar fries.
You have a favorite Atlantic City casino.
You start planning for Memorial Day weekend in February.
And finally...
You've never pumped your own gas.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


No, no!  It's a hoagie!!!  A sub is a boat!  A subway is an underground train.
Vinegar fries are made with malt vinegar and PA shares cheesesteaks with their Jersey neighbor.
PA loves the Jersey shore.
The Tropicana Casino is my favorite, it is kid friendly with the IMAX theater and the stores in there!
WaWa is actually located in PA, but they share it with Jersey.
You were introduced to the Jersey Devil as a bedtime story from someone's father.   
My Grandmother went to the store to get long rolls to put butter on them for breakfast.
When you are at the shore, you go to the beach.
Circles are fun at top speed and on two wheels, but now there are lights in them--what's up with that?
A jug handle allows you to make a left turn from the right lane.
The Jug Handle is a great place for wings (and that has nothing to do with angels).
Two Guys was Walmart before Walmart was even thought of.
Corned beef on white is another sacriledge!
You don't pump gas or know how to drive fast (Jersey Drivers).   
The phrase is actually, "Djeet yet?"  " No djou?" and the dj are blended and the words are one syllable.

TxMom....

You know you're from Texas when....

You can properly pronounce Corsicana, Decatur, Wichita Falls, Burnet, Gruene, Boerne, New Braunfels, Nacogdoches, Mexia, Waco, Amarillo, and Waxahachie.

You plan your Friday night after you go to the high school football game.

You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.

You know people who put ranch dressing on everything.

You have known someone who has had one belt buckle bigger than your fist.

You notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.

You discover that in July it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car.

You actually burn your hand opening the car door.

You find 70 degrees Fahrenheit a little chilly.

You know 4 seasons - Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer and Christmas.

You discover that you can get a sunburn through your car window...

Fire ants consider your flesh as a picnic.

A carbonated soft drink isn’t a soda, cola, or pop .. it’s a Coke, regardless of brand or flavor.

You measure distance in minutes.

Your school classes were canceled because of inch of snow, and some ice.

You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.

You know that no matter how hard you try to draw Texas it always comes out wrong.

You use "fix" as a verb. Example: I am fixin to go to the store.

You find 90 degrees F "a little warm."

You have had this conversation before...
"You wanna coke?"
"Yeah."
"What kind?"
"Dr. Pepper."

I stand with the girl, Natalee Holloway.

"I can look back over the past 10 years and there were no steps wasted, and there are no regrets,'' she said. "I did all I knew to do and I think that gives me greater peace now." "I've lived every parent's worst nightmare and I'm the parent that nobody wants to be," she said.

Hey Sis!   

You're a great momma...

Thanks!  I am not sure what prompted that, but thank you.  I love being a Mom!

helping your son with his contact lenses... 

Every Mom has that certain "Mom" thing that they do that makes them special.  She knows what is important to her child and knows each child is different.  There is no such thing as normal or typical for either a child or a mother. 

I think what I have learned from being a Monkey since Natalee is this:  drugs, alcohol, sex, and any other addiction or distraction breaks that mother-child bond and the connection is no longer there.  The addiction is the important part of the relationship, all else pales until that is satisfied and then the drug, etc. takes the mother away.  This goes for Fathers, too.

No one, no one, in their right mind would leave a child with Misty.  As soon as someone takes an interest in her, she turns away from them and is jonesing for drugs and trolling for anything and everything.  It is as if she is a zombie that has inhabited a shell of a body.  Quite frankly, I have never seen anything like it. 

If there wasn't this 'toy in the sandbox' way of looking at the children by both Ron and his Mom (mine, mine) they would have recognized the instability of their situation to raise both HaLeigh and Jr and take care of that before Ron sniffed and snorted his life away.  It was a tragedy waiting to happen.

My hubby has lived here his whole life except for a short time in Arkansas - somehow in those months he got the pop/soda thing trained out of him. I have a hard time communicating with him on this issue since I am Michigan born and bread!
