| Posted over 5 years ago this kinda sounds like where I live or how it use to be. I liked it better then. Now it has built up so fast, is so congested and the traffic is horrible! But one thing stays the same-CONSTRUCTION! |

| Posted over 5 years ago Angie, we are rednekish... We got traffic signs, subdivisions, for the most part, we don't grow corn within the city limits. Crzegrl, I forgot about that one, "roads" You take that road there and make a left at the 7-11. |

| Posted over 5 years ago Hey Al, I know EXACTLY what you're saying. I lived in the U.P. (my oldest was born at the old, now torn down, Dickinson Co. Memorial in Kingsford) and lower MI (Fenton...between Flint and Detroit). Graduated from Bay de Noc. If you don't own flannel, you're not "in", and you almost have to drink...shovel snow, shovel snow, shovel snow! Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, worn out and screaming "Woo-hoo"!!! |

| Posted over 5 years ago Ya'll forgot one... that half of the change in your pocket is Canadian. I now live in south central Colorado. I tried (without thinking) to give a cashier at a local gas station a canadian nickle.... She wouldn't even touch it lol she just stared at it like it was tainted or something . Funny stuff. |

Yea, maybe we should build a wall up there (Upper Peninsula for those not of Michigan), keep them canoocks(sp?) out. So, if a Canadian goes to one of our boarder town bars without a passport visa, would he be considered an illegal alien? That is all so funny! |

| Posted over 5 years ago Ahhh... Sorry, I don't hunt. But down here it’s the cammo clothes, go to church and there is always someone with a cammo jacket, shirt, pants or boots, sometimes they wear the whole garb. |

| Posted over 5 years ago Well even the girls wear camo to Church in South GA, some churches anyway and teenage girls. We give directions by you know where that barn used be about 7 miles out, it aint there no more it burnt up, but you know, turn left about 150 yards after where it used to be and My place is the first empty field after the pond dam. We started today at 45, quite mild, but this afternoon it was 72 so on came air conditioning. The Christmas parade is tomorrow, dont know whether to wear shorts or jeans and pack a blanket. Hmmm. Maybe both. |

| Posted over 5 years ago Oh that's crazy talk..It's about 20 degrees here and can I say FREEZING . I live in Indiana currently but was born and raised in Flint, Michigan until about 5 years ago. I don't think it's very redneck but I know many girls I went to school with i'm suprised haven't been on Jerry Springer or Maury Povich. You do know you live in Michigan when every street has a store owned by someone from the middle east. |

| Posted over 5 years ago anewcom said: Ane, that is so true, some communities act like they are stars of a Jerry Springer episode. The east side of the state has stores owned by Middle Eastern people; on the west side, the corner stores are operated by Middle Eastern but owned by very frugal bean counters. |

| Posted over 5 years ago Well in Milwaukee, there's a bar on just about every corner that isn't residential. Freezing here today and we are expecting 3-6 inches of white, wet, sloppy stuff. It's already white outside. |

My sister loves the snow and cold, but I can't live with it. My dad spends summers by her and winters by me. Says he shoveled all the snow he ever cares to. |
