      I think you have to define your geography here. I am seeing posts from South Dakota, Kansas, all over. i don't mean to argue with those people if they are committed to the idea that they are Midwesterners. But, gosh ! Kansas is the Great Plains. South Dakota is the West. People in those regions are much different from Midwesterners. I would consider someone from Missouri a Midwesterner. But Kansas is a whole different donkey. North and South Dakotans have a lot in common with Minnesotans. But I have lived in Minnesota, and you can tell when you have crossed the state lines. The land opens up, and the people do too.
      C'mon, folks ! Let's get this right. Next thing you know, somebody from Ohio is going to claim to be a Midwesterner !

      This is what I was wondering... I'm from Colorado, and can never figure out what it's considered, it's not mid-west, and it's not west...so "West-mid-west???" I don't know...

      But it's pretty much the best state in the U.S....just saying...

      You are right that Kansas is different. I grew up in Kansas and I am unlike 90% of its population. But I also live in the most liberal county in the state! Rock Chalk! :tongue: :drinker:

      However....Kansas is definitely part of the Midwest and it is also in the Great Plains...depends on who you talk to.

      SORRY I'm new and don't know how to reply properly to a specific comment!!

      My husband's a Brit (northerner I'm afraid) and he loves visiting the midwest! We may move back in a few years to the Motherland. Like all good Brits, he's shirtless the minute the sun shines in even the coolest Midwest temps! My neighbors there loved him! : )

      Hahahaha, I spare my neighbors that particular horror, except when we are out on the lake. Maybe in 12 months, if all goes according to plan, I'll have a figure that I feel proud to show off, and that maybe the neighbors appreciate seeing :wink:
