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.

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.

And finally...
You've never pumped your own gas.

SO TRUE!!!!!!
 
You've never pumped your own gas.


OMG... This one nearly got me into trouble a few years back!! Being from PeeAyyee... I never realized other states still had full service, LOL.. I was headed to New Hampshire to visit my sister. It was just me and my best pup Sadie in my pickup. We had made the trip many times, she was an awesome copilot.
Now this dog was the sweetest girl, she never met a person she didn't like, or another dog that she couldn't make a playmate in no time. She was my absolute shadow when I wasn't at work and went everywhere with me, I swear she could read my mind and I taught her hand signals and tiny facial cues for commands. She would do anything for me and it was mutual! But again, she didn't have an aggressive bone in her body.
I pulled in at a gas station in the very northernmost reach of New Jersey (she was leaning against my right shoulder) and parked in front of the pump. Before I could get out a fellow hopped up off the stoop where he and his 3 buddies were smoking and headed to the pump. I'm not prejudiced, but apparently my dog was... this guy was tall, dark indian and wearing a turban type head wrap (as were his buddies), and Sadie started growling like I'd never heard out of her before! I had the windows down and I the other guys must have heard her also because they all stood up and stepped toward the truck. I clamped a hand around her muzzle and quickly told guy #1, "just $10" (I just wanted out of there by then!) She continued to growl but luckily no one came any closer to the truck and she stayed in her place. Her volume ramped up when he came back to my window for payment but she didn't lunge, thankfully. I was never so glad to get out of a gas station in my life! I never stopped at a New Jersey station again after that... nothing against folks at the stations, but did learn that as much as my dog loved people, she didn't love gas station attendants who wore turbans!
 
This morning I had two ducklings hatched and one was half out and now when I went for pics she is stiff!!! I almost flipped, she made it that friggen far!!! I pulled her out of the shell and it was filled with globby blood!!!! she musta ruptured her navel veins or something!!! OMG I was so sad!!!! WE ONLY have two ducks and I swear I WILL NEVER EVER HATCH ducks again!! or else I need to do ALOT MORE RESEARCH because I should have done some things different during incubation but I chose dry incubation route.. NOT AGAIN for DUCKS!!!

QUESTION: what kinda dish and depth water do I need for newly hatched ancona ducklings?

Hey Heather...the girls are going to track the growth and development of Coal. We did a feather sexing and by those standards Coal is a girl. We shall see.

I know a guy who tried that line on his wife when she heard he was cheating on her. I do believe his tombstone carries that quote to this day. :th

Baym I believe you missed your calling as a comedian. Bella IS a Maltese (in her head) she's always climbing on my lap.
 
Sally these are the things I have been telling you, hatching ducks have been so frustrating, i just gave up...My plan is to order hatchery ducks in the spring if that's what i have to do.
