    Ahhh, you live kind of near me! People ask me all the time about the snow here, I live in literally the second snowiest town in the United States.

    Yes I live in Hebden Bridge. No I'm not gay.:laugh:


    Hebden is famous for being the 'lesbian capitol of England'. And 'cause some of my friends are from that part of the community people just assume.

    When I tell people I'm from Northern Michigan, they're like "Oh so from like Mackinaw or Traverse City?"

    No dumb *kitten*....there are about 100,000 acres of land NORTH of the bridge!

    "Oh so you're from Washington? So you get a lot of rain then."
    No, I live on the East side.

    "Washington? So you're on the East coast." :explode:

    I live in Spokane, WA. Spo-can.....not Spo-CANE. NO it doesn't rain here all the time.

    When I lived in Montana and worked at a Hotel, we actually had guests call in and ask about these things:
    Do you have a hospital? - my boss answered the phone on that one- she said, "no, what are those for?"
    caller: in case you get hurt - my boss- "oh, well, in that case, we just take you out back and shoot ya."
    another one I had was -(after several questions about if TVs, and other amenities were available) "How do we get there from the airport?" I wanted to let them know our covered wagon and team of horses would be on the way....otherwise known as "the airport shuttle" will come and pick you up.

    I am from Maryland,and I hate when people pronounce it "Merrrrrland" or refer to Washington, DC as "Warshington" There is NO R!!!! and I am sorry saying "Mar-y-land" is one extra syllabul (sp?) than "Merrrr-land"



    Okay I'm afraid to say "Maryland" now.

    Haha- I'm from Maryland too and I must agree- the y should not be pronounced as it is in the word Mary.

    I live in Arkansas and, no, I don't personally know Bill Clinton, nor have I had sex with him. And, I'm not an inbred illiterate, either.

    You live in Washington?
    Yup
    Y'all have webbed feet?
    No, it doesn't even rain as much as other places in the US, and a good portion of the state is a desert.
    Oh, well it rains a lot up there
    Sure I wouldn't know

    People wonder if I live in an igloo.
    It's Canada, it's not the North Pole. In fact, Toronto is more south than some of the places in the US.

    I guess this applies to all of Canada, but the assumption that it's freezing cold-all the time. Where I live we got 40 degree weather at times and very mild winters.

    Might want to clarify that it's 40 degree CELCIUS : )
