I grew up in Cedarburg Wisconsin, moved to San Diego 20 years ago. SO, yes..........I agree with all the above. Made me laugh because it is all true.

justawoman · 12-22-2005, 11:47 AM

I am in Central Wisconsin. I live very rural and all those things ring so true..I am orignally from the East Coast so I crack up everytime I read something like that!

LOL ditto for Ohio.........minus wearing the green.

Okay, I have lived in San Diego since I was six years old. In the middle of the country, the farthest north I have ever been is (very quickly) driving through Oklahoma. You all sound like you live on Mars or star in some type of weird movie like "Children of the Corn."

I have never eaten venison...nor do I intend to. I know there must be fabulous people in Wisconsin, Indiana and Ohio. However, it sounds like the only sane ones are on this forum! Thanks, but I'll stick with my sunny, beautiful San Diego.

By the way, what the hell is a pole shed?!? You actually build sheds around your poles?!?!!

As one from Socal myself, I totally agree with Dara - I would take our weather over snow anyday...BTW I too want to know what a pole shed is! And please tell me you don't actually wear camoflage to social events?!

If you often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day, and back again,
you might live in Wisconsin. This rings true for San Diego alsoi!

I was wondering what a pole shed was myself. I have to admit I did laugh a lot when I read your list. I'm sure WI is a wonderful place to live but I'll stay in SUNNY San Diego!

justawoman · 12-22-2005, 03:13 PM

Glad you all got a chuckle! I got the biggest laugh when I read Daras post about the pole shed...OMG I thought everyone knew what a pole shed was...I am still chucklin over here!

Ok-A pole shed is a stick frame building with steel siding. I guess I never realized that "pole shed" was a weird word till now.

Whitney,

I have to say yes camoflage is worn quite a bit around here including to social events. I don't think I have ever seen my husbands uncle in anything but dirty jeans, boots and his flannel shirts. Hunting, fishing and more of a redneck style is what brews up around here! I am sure in the bigger cities you find people have a little more style sense but not in these rural areas. Most people here are working on farms or in factory jobs!

Very interesting to see the differences in states!
