LOL Hey I resemble those remarks (well most of them)

 

And yes I had to actually purchase sun glasses on my last plane trip. Didnt think I would need them considering where I came from you hadnt seen the sun in weeks LOL

*scratches head* So what's wrong with that list? Looks perfectly normal to me...

 

Whew, I still have nightmares about the summer I spent on the East coast. Contrary to popular belief, the Oregon Trail is HISTORICAL, not still in use, and no, we don't still live in stockades. And Yes, we really do have actual stores.

 

Of course, my DH, being from Alaska, can convince 85% of people he meets that he lived in an igloo and rode a dog sled to school every day.
