This is just for fun. Add your own! You know you're from Ohio when:

You don't think of Florida first when someone mentions Miami.

You snicker when someone's from Tiffin, because you think of the State Hospital.

You think Pro football teams are supposed to wear orange!

You've heard of 3.2% beer.

Schools close for the state basketball tournament.

You're proud of your state fair, but would rather go to Cedar Point.

You live less than 30 miles from some college or university.

You know what a buckeye really is, and have a recipe for candy ones.

"Toward the lake" means "north" and "toward the river" means "south."

You've heard of the Great Nickel Beer Night Riot.

You know if other Ohioians are from southern or northern Ohio as soon as they open their mouths.

You root for a college team though you've never taken a class there.

You can spell words like Cuyahoga, Olentangy, Bellefontaine, and Tuscarawas

You always visit more than two amusement parks in one summer.

You know that Serpent Mounds were not made by snakes.

You know what game they're playing when the Mud Hens take on the Clippers.

Vacation" means spending a day at Cedar Point or King's Island.

Down south to you means Kentucky.

You thought that the Michael Stanley Band was the most popular band in the country.

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

BTW, I'm a published writer. Sucks to be you! Hahahaha! G'nite!

You may be a writer but apparently not much of a reader--I wrote that I got the LATEST piece I SOLD today. Yes, lots of rejection--that's how you get to this point.

Sucks to be me? Why, you prefer to be "published" as opposed to PAID for your efforts? ;)

[Happygal]

Hon, I get paid weekly for my literary efforts.

[Happygal]

G'nite again. I'm really going this time. I'm such a liar!

[softwarecreator]

I would reply back, but you obviously are asleep now!

=)

[Happygal]

I also post in my sleep! zzzzzzzzzz

[softwarecreator]

Yeah, I can tell that by reading your posts.

I'm kidding!  =)  You left yourself wide open for that one!!!

[Dr.Hilarious]

They pay for the police notices in your paper? That's some gig!

I am suspicious of any "published" writer who seems unaware that when someone says they got rejected before they sell. But hey, if you can make a decent living writing grocery coupon copy, more power to ya! ;)

[Happygal]

I can afford to eat from writing. You need to brag about it.


Hmmmmm.....

I win!

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

You know you're from my community (which shall remain nameless, except for the county found in my screen name) when:

Your family tree isn't a tree, it's a briar patch, and you don't dare gossip because the person you're talking to is more than likely related to the person you're talking about.

[MilspecRob]

Like, totally awesome

Sherman Oaks CA, Traditional home of the Valley Girl. I like being single and "in my prime" (AKA to tired to play) living here. The daily onslaught of the number of buffed out Men & Women in a 6 block walk down the street (Ventura Blvd) is mind boggling.

[Mr. K]

ok tell us what you write and where we can find it (we freepers love to support other freepers~~!)

[Happygal]

I've had a few of my columns posted up here on FR.

Most of them aren't of American interest, so it wouldn't be pertinent to have them here.

If you look at my bookmarks, you'll find some of mine on there.

[Just A Nobody]

You just made me homesick. ;*(

[Moleman]

You or someone you know refer to the auto suplier Delphi as "Packard"

[PaulaB]

1. You measure distance in minutes.
2. You've ever had to switch for "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
3. Stores don't have bags, they have sacks.
4. You see a car with the engine running in the Wal-Mart parking lot with no one in it, no mater what time of the year.
5. You use "fix" as a verb. Example: I am fixin' to go to the store.
6. All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit or a vegetable. (Hey!!! We have two tree and a crawdad festival)
7. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
8. You carry jumper cables for your own car.
9. You know what "cow tipping" and "snipe hunting" are.
l0. You only have four spices in your kitchen: Salt, Pepper, Catsup, and Tabasco.
11. You think everyone from north of Dallas has an accent. (They DO!! Dayum Yanks!!)
12. You think sexy underwear is a tee shirt and boxer shorts.
13. The local papers cover national and international news on one page but require six pages to cover Friday night high school football.
14. You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.
15. You know which leaves make good toilet paper.
16. You find 100 degrees a "tad" warm
17. You know all four seasons: Almost summer, summer, still summer and Deer Season.
18. You know whether another Texan is from East, West, North, or South Texas as soon as he opens his mouth.
19 Going to Wal-Mart is a favorite past-time known as "goin' Wal-Martin" or "off to Wally-world".
20. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good chili weather.
21. A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola, or pop...It's a Coke regardless of brand of flavor. (When I was a kid in Texas it was called "Soda Water")
22. You understand these jokes.

[PaulaB]

Sorry the above is YOU KNOW YOUR FROM TEXAS IF :)

[RockinRight]

ping!

[alarm rider]

You know you live in Maryland when:

Someone says they are from "The People's Republic" and you know they mean Montgomery County and not China.

You know the only times you will ever hear of Paul Sarbanes is when he is up for election again, or he decides to retire.

You know in your heart that the average Maryland liberal is the silliest, most-clueless liberal in the country. If there were silly liberal olympics, Marylanders would win all the gold medals.

Baltimore cannot be changed by a democrat mayor, or anyone else for that matter. It is in fact a state of mind, and the mind is disturbed.

Doug Duncan would suck up to a Albanian Cur Dog if it could vote for him.

The State legislature votes down slot machines even though Delaware & West Virginia have them and it's a short drive for most Marylanders. The democrats suddenly find "morals" about the evils of gambling, then go along to get their scratch-off tickets, Lotto and Keno bets down.

[LumberHack]

you didn't know what "spring break" was until you were 15. (I thought everybody just took "Masters Week" off like we did)

" Methinks the writer of that piece is being a bit picky."

This will make the writer real wacky then....

Wexford makes it onto Money's 'best town' list

By Mike Wereschagin
TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Tuesday, July 12, 2005

The cartographers must be furious.

Money magazine listed Wexford as the nation's 28th best town to live in -- even though it's not really a town, just a postal address. There's no mayor of Wexford, no Wexford Borough Council, no "Make checks payable to Wexford" on tax bills.
