You know you are "Country" when...

[PhilErvin]

...you have a 52" Flat screen HD Fios feed and your main source of entertainment is sitting in lawn chairs out by the chicken run watching them till the sun goes down...

When you used to live in the city and find words like "reckon", "britches", and "ornry" creeping into your vocabulary and have to make a concious effort to prononunce your "g's" . Such as when hunting becomes huntin' and the "t" in huntin' is barely autible.

I'm country for sure. I don't use the "g" in any words that end in "ing". Like huntin, fishin, goin, fixin, you get the picture.

My wife is a country girl, but she does pronounce her words correctly. She is a real estate agent. You should see how her brokers and other associates looked at me at the first Christmas dinner we had at the fancy restaurant. The broker couple really like me, but I am who I am.

When gunfire doesn't send you diving for cover
When your old oak tree comes crashing down & 10 minutes later all your neighbors show up out of the blue to help clean it up.

When this looks normal to you:

 

[ksct]

..... when your closest neighbor is a couple acres away and they ride their 4 wheeler over to tell you that their livestock (you pick the variety) got out and may be in your field......

...when you drive around spot lighting deer......

....when you own a fur hat for the winter.... hahahahahaha

...you use the kids jungle gym/slide combo as a dry place for the dog to sleep, because he's tied to the tree right beside it.

...you use the same jungle gym/slide combo,which is now a dog house because it has a piece of plywood on top of it, as a place to butcher roosters and it has a walking garbage disposal tied next to it.

...you go to borrow your Grandpa's 12' aluminum boat to go fishin', and he tells you,"yes son but you'll have to pull the plug and drain it to get it down off those saw horses", because he uses it as a stock watering tank.

Well, at least you know it doesn't leak,huh.

...you spend all Saturday long about 2 times a year changing the drive belts on your Grandad's riding mower, because he uses it as a mulcher in the garden to mow down last seasons corn stalks and bean vines.

...you plant an extra row of turnip greens just for the chickens to eat on during the cold winter.

People here think Im crazy that I learned to knit, have a garden, and raise chickens. "You could just go to wal-mart for that!" they say and "Why on earth would a secretary for the local community college need a gun (or three)?" or "We didn't come up with all this technology for you to grow your own food and make your own socks you know!"

My answer: 'cus I can. Can you?
