Aren't the negative comments from people who know nothing about Iowa great! They help keep slobs like them stuck in awful places like the East or West coasts. My wife, a genuine born and bred American Princess, says that Iowa is one of the "Vowel States". Others are Indiana, Ohio, Idaho, Alabama, Georgia.....you get the picture. If a state has greater than 50% vowels in the name then we cannot live there. Fortunately New York and Florida do not fit the "Vowel State" criteria. Presumably the marginal 50% states like Alaska are 2nd place options. |

Ps - Sallyanne - i'm obviously still in that mood - maybe its something to do with being home alone and the kids being 200 miles away .. :) |

Thursday and Fridays dinner plates are around here somewhere but I think the dog finished them off for me. Personally, once you get past the Mississippi and everything gets flat I lose interest. :) Apparently you're not an 'East coast' slob, you're a 'NE coast' slob, I've already been corrected! :D :p |

Not correct, East coast is east coast, if you live inland then its not the coast is it? Never mentioned NE. Blaze due to your confusion you have proudly proved yourself to be a slob, so hop over to the Trailer Park and sign up for membership. :) |

This thread is a perfect example of just how crap this forum has become over the years. It was a great place to come for help and ideas but, sadly, has slowly degenerated into a bitchfest. A damned shame.

The person being bitched about was not the one asking for help, but somone who wrote off the east and west coasts as "awful" and the people living there as slobs. Genuine requests for help are still answered in a thoughtful way, I believe. |
