God Bless Ohio

So, as most of you know, I'm getting ready to make the big trek back to that grand state of Ohio in just over two weeks. In order to help me prepare for the trip, my mom sent me this email and it's hysterical. Just read this and, honestly, how many of these things are the absolute truth!

According to Jeff Foxworthy, "You Might Be From Ohio If..."

You think all Pro football teams are supposed to wear orange.
You know all the 4 seasons: winter, still winter, almost winter and construction.
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 know if other Ohioans are from southern or northern Ohio as soon as they open their mouths.
"Vacation" means spending a day at Cedar Point in the summer and deer hunting in the fall.
You measure distance in minutes.
Your school classes were canceled because of cold.
Your school classes were canceled because of heat.
You've had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
You end your sentences with an unnecessary preposition. Example: "Where's my coat at?"
You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
You think of the major four food groups as beef, pork, beer, and Jell-O salad with marshmallows.
You carry jumper cables in your car.
You know what "pop" is.
You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
The local paper covers national and international headlines on one page but requires six pages for sports.
If someone says something you don't understand or hear, you say "Please?"
You call it Kroger's even though it is Kroger. (Is this true?!?! I have ALWAYS called it Kroger's!)
Your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May.
Someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there.
You've worn shorts and a parka at the same time.
You've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number.
You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.
You can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching.
The speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and everybody is passing you.
You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
You find 10 degrees "a little chilly".


How funny is that?!?! And yet, how true! Enjoy these and have a great weekend!
