Beautiful pictures. I like looking, but not living in it!

Found this on fb and thought y’all would find it funny too!

ADVICE FOR ANYONE MOVING TO INDIANA.

1. Save all bacon grease. You will be instructed later how to use it.
2. If you do run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in the cab of a four wheel drive with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them. Just stay out of their way. This is what they live for.
3. Remember: "Y'all" is singular. "All y'all" is plural. "All y'all's" is plural possessive.
4. Get used to the phrase "It's not the heat, it's the humidity". And the collateral phrase "You call this hot? Wait'll August."
5. Don't tell us how you did it up there. Nobody cares.
6. If you think it's too hot, don't worry. It'll cool down-in December.
7. A Mercedes-Benz is not a status symbol, a Chevy, Dodge, or Ford is.
8. If someone says they're "fixin" to do something, that doesn't mean anything's broken.
9. The value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but the availability of shade.
10. If you are a slower moving vehicle on a two lane road pull onto the shoulder that is called "courtesy".
11. BBQ is a food group. It does NOT mean grilling burgers and hot dogs outdoors.
12. Yes, weddings, funerals, and divorces must take into account for IU Basketball games.
13. Everything is better with hot sauce.
14. DO NOT honk your horn at us to be obnoxious, we will sit there until we die.
15. We pull over and stop for emergency vehicles to pass.
16. We pull over for funeral processions, turn our music off and men remove hats or caps. Some people put their hand over their heart.
17. "Bless your Heart" is a nice way of saying you're an idiot.
18. No mater what kind : sprite, coke, pepsi, mtn dew, it isn't called soda. Its all called pop.
19. If you don't like the weather in INDIANA , wait 15 minutes, it will change.
20. Ski is our local pop.
21. The Indy 500 is a tradition

19. If you don't like the weather in INDIANA , wait 15 minutes, it will change.

That seems to be true of every state!

Funny, all but a few of those could apply to Texas. And the ones that reference Indiana, could be adjusted to fit Texas.
Well, I take that back (a little). I don’t drink it, but I’m pretty sure it’s called “soda” here, not “pop”. I do remember, when we lived in Minnesota, I thought it strange that they called it “pop”, since “soda” sounds so much like MinneSOTA.

LOL this was stolen from the south.
Ain't no good BBQ in the North, and it is way colder earlier than December in the North, and of course there is #5!

I will say Pop is a northern thing.
What the heck is #20?

 

[Rammy]

From where Im origally from, everyone says pop. When I moved to Tn, people said soda. One lady I met said she knew I was from "up north" because I said pop.
Technically, Im a southern girl since I was born south of the Mason/Dixon line.

Here’s another one...we have Big Red. Family in Northern IN doesn’t and we always take them down when we visit!

DH is fighting a headache and has laid back down. DD1 went to church with my parents this morning. She’s going to be Mary in the church Christmas program. My antibiotic isn’t cutting it. I feel like I’m choking on my mucus. Going to have to figure out what I can add to my current meds to get some relief. Battling my anxiety too. I’m so ready to move to the middle of nowhere and live off the grid. Going to do some evaluating and remove some things from my life that increase the stress.

In New England, when I was a kid growing up, you didn't have milkshakes, you had frappes. NOT THE FRAPPE' of McDonald's pronunciation but just plain old frappes. Mostly Mass NH and VT. We had soda and the saying about wait 15 minutes and the weather will change was always a saying I heard in VT at family gatherings. Plus Vt has a fifth season, mud season.....and that summer is the day you play baseball.

I only "liked" the ice pics because they are pretty to look at. Definitely no fun to be around!
I hope you are better from your sinus infection.
