And since there's at least 3 transplants here:

You Know You're from New Jersey When...

...you recognize or can relate to at least 10 of these:

You've been seriously injured at Action Park.
You know that the only people who call it "Joisey" are from New York (usually The Bronx) or Texas.
You don't think of citrus when people mention "The Oranges."
You know that it's called "Great Adventure," not "Six Flags."
You've ordered a hard roll with butter for breakfast.
You've known the way to Seaside Heights since you were seven.
You've eaten at a diner, when you were stoned or drunk, at 3 am.
Whenever you park, there's a Camaro within three spots of you.
You remember that the "Two Guys" were from Harrison.
You know that the state isn't one big oil refinery.
At least three people in your family still love Bruce Springsteen, and you know what town Jon Bon Jovi is from.
You know what a "jug handle" is.
You know that a WaWa is a convenience store.
You know that the state isn't all farmland.
You know that there are no "beaches" in new Jersey - there's "The Shore," and you know that the road to the shore is "The Parkway" not "The Garden State Highway."
You know that "Piney" isn't referring to a tree.
Even your school cafeteria made good Italian subs, and, you call it a "sub" not a "submarine sandwich" or worse yet, a "hoagy" or a "hero."
You remember the song from the Palisades Park commercials.
You know how to properly negotiate a Circle.
You knew that the last question had to do with driving.
You know that "Acme" is an actual store, not just a Warner Bros creation.
You know that this is the only "New..." state that doesn't require "New" to identify it (like, try ...Mexico, ...York, ...Hampshire (doesn't work, does it?).
You know how to translate this conversation: "Jeet yet?" "No, Jew?"
You only go to New York City for day trips, and you only call it "The City."
You know that a "White Castle" is the name of BOTH a fast food chain AND a fast food sandwich.
You consider a corned beef sandwich with lettuce and mayo a sacrilege.
In the 80's you wore your hair REALLY high.
You don't think "What exit" (do you live near?) is very funny.
You know that the real first "strip shopping center" in the country is Route 22.
You know that people from 609 area code are "a little different."
You know that no respectable New Jerseyan goes to Princeton - that's for out-of-staters.
The Jets-Giants game has started fights at your school or local bar.
You live within 20 minutes of at least three different malls.
You can see the Manhattan skyline from some part of your town.
You refer to all highways and interstates by their numbers.
Every year, you had at least one kid in your class named Tony.
You know where every "clip" shown in the Sopranos opening credits is.
You've gotten on the wrong highway trying to get out of Willowbrook Mall.
You've eaten a Boardwalk cheesesteak with vinegar fries.
You have a favorite Atlantic City casino.
You start planning for Memorial Day weekend in February.
And finally...
You've never pumped your own gas.

For those who think we Pennsylvanians 'talk funny' or use 'big words',
here's why ...

Once a Pennsylvanian, ALWAYS a Pennsylvanian!

About Pennsylvanians: You've never referred to Philadelphia as anything but
‘Philly’ and New Jersey has always been ' Jersey .'

We don't go to the beach -- we go ‘down the shore.'

You refer to Pennsylvania as 'PA' (pronounced Pee-Ay).
How many other states do that??

'You guys' (or even 'youze guys', in some places) is a perfectly acceptable
reference to a group of men and women.

You know how to respond to the question ‘Djeetyet?' (Did you eat yet?)


You know that the Iggles play football and so do the Stillers.

You learned to pronounce Bryn Mawr, Wilkes-Barre , Schuylkill , the
Poconos, Tamaqua, Kutztown, Tunkahannock, Bala Cynwyd, Kishacoquillas, Duquesne and
Monongahela, Catasauqua, Hokendauqua and Conshohocken.

And we know Lancaster is pronounced Lank-ister, not Lan-kaster.

You know what a ‘Mummer’ is, and are disappointed if you can't catch at
least highlights of the parade.

At least five people on your block have electric 'candles' in all or most
of their windows all year long.

You know what a 'State Store' is, and your out-of-state friends find it
incredulous that you can’t purchase liquor at the mini-mart.


Words like 'hoagie,' 'crick,' 'chipped ham,' 'dippy eggs', 'sticky buns,'
'shoo-fly pie,' 'lemon sponge pie', 'pierogies' and 'pocketbook' actually
mean something to you. (By the way, that last one's PA slang for a purse!)


You not only have heard of Birch Beer, but you know it comes in several
colors.

You know the difference between a cheese steak and a pizza steak sandwich,
and you know that you also can't get a really good one anywhere outside of
the Philly area. (Except maybe in Atlantic City on the boardwalk.)

You know that Blue Ball, Intercourse, Paradise, Climax, Bird-in-Hand,
Beaver, Moon, Virginville, Mars, Bethlehem, Hershey, Indiana, Sinking Spring,
Jersey Shore, State College, Washington Crossing, Jim Thorpe, King of
Prussia, Wind Gap, and Slippery Rock are all PA towns ... and the first three
were consecutive stops on the old Reading RR! (PS - That’s pronounced
Redd-ing.)



You can identify drivers from New York, New Jersey, Maryland or other
neighboring states by their unique and irritating driving habits.

A traffic jam in Lancaster County is 10 cars waiting to pass a horse-drawn
carriage on the highway. (And remember ... that’s Lank-ister!)

You know several people who have hit deer more than once.

Driving is always better in winter because the potholes are filled with
snow.

As a kid you built snow forts and leaf piles that were taller than you were.


You know beer doesn't grow in a garden, but you know where to find a beer
garden.

You actually understand all this and send it out to other Pennsylvanians or
former Pennsylvanians. It's scary, isn't it!

YEAH! THAT'S GOOD OL' ‘PA’ AND WE LOVE IT!



And
If You Marry A Pennsylvania Girl ..........

Three friends married women from different parts of the country.....

The first man married a woman from Utah . He told her that she was to do
the dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third
day, he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away.

The second man married a woman from Lousiana. He gave his wife orders that
she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. The first day he
didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third
day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done, and there was a huge
dinner on the table.

The third man married a girl from Pa. He ordered her to keep the house
cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed, and hot meals on the table
for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second
day he didn't see anything but by the third day, some of the swelling had
gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, and his arm was healed
enough that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher. He
still has some difficulty when he pees.


Youn's all play nice now once. I hafta make dippy eggs.

I'm confused... I am still trying to figure out where to find some eggs for Gracie, I may end up ordering from Meyer (I think that was the one that allowed small orders and we only need 8-10) but will have to call them tomorrow to see when they would ship..... So I went to the paypal/eggswap thread hoping to find some more sources and was totally confused (but maybe because it's late and I need to reread it tomorrow)
I didn't even go to the NYD hatchalong thread (figured it was for folks hatching incubator eggs for the New Year?) but didn't know there were
ongoing contests there or is it an ongoing swap?
I'm going to show just how new I am... what does GFF stand for?

If I had eggs you were looking for I'd be more than glad to fix ya up. What I have now really isn't great. Since Copper left for the big coup in the sky my fertility rate on eggs just hit bottom. The NYD hatch a thon was for people hatching chicks all due to hatch on New Years day. I set mine early.
 
And where you posted on the buy sell trade thread. There are always eggs on there. I would post on the Pa livestock and pets classified page on facebook if you have it as well.
