Hi All! I live in Waukesha. I just moved here when I got married in September. Before that, I lived on the other side of the border. I much prefer WI to IL.

Hi, neighbor :wave:. Where do you go to church?

I live in Racine, right below Milwaukee. And guess what!??

I am so ready for spring!!!!!

I think that I have had just enough of this stinky winter weather. I am ready to see the buds on the trees, the grass turn from brown to green. Don't get me wrong, I do like winter (have to to live in good ole WI), but I am ready for decent weather.​

My mom sent this to me and I figured I would share it with you guys! :)

Jeff Foxworthy on Wisconsin:



If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 18 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you might live in Wisconsin.



If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights each year because International Falls is the coldest spot in the nation, you might live in Wisconsin.



If you have ever refused to buy something because it's "too spendy",you might live in Wisconsin.



If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March, you might live in Wisconsin.



If you instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of the year, you might live in Wisconsin.



If someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don't work there, you might live in Wisconsin.



If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead, you might live in Wisconsin.



If you may not have actually eaten it, but you have heard of Lutefisk, you might live in Wisconsin.



If you have worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you might live in Wisconsin.



If you have either a pet or a child named "Brett", you might live in Wisconsin.



If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you might live in Wisconsin.



If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you might live in Wisconsin.



If you know how to say Oconomowoc, Waukesha, Menomonie & Manitowoc, you might live in Wisconsin.



If you think that ketchup is a little too spicy, you might live in Wisconsin.



If every time you see moonlight on a lake, you think of a dancing bear, and you sing gently, "From the land of sky-blue waters,....you might live in Wisconsin.



Series II. YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE WISCONSINITE WHEN:

12. There are 7 empty cars running in the parking lot at Mill's

Fleet Farm at any given time.

13. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

with snow.

LOL, Wypadek, my sister emailed this to me few weeks ago. Some of those are dumb (International Falls is in Minnesota, not Wisconsin. Plus all the cities in Wisconsin have more bars then churches, not an equal amount) but some are pretty funny.

I do not live in Wisconsin but am an enrolled member of the Stockbridge Mohican Indian Tribe and out reservation is in Bowler, Shawano County.

So I have spent alot of time in Wisconsin and esp love it there in the fall when the leaves change colors!

Hello DrBob!

My brother owns land right alongside the western boundry of Stockbridge. The land has been in the family for over 150 years. The land is just used for forest crop and hunting purposes and has no permanent building on it. I don't hunt so I signed over my 20 acres to my brother.

I live just outside our lovely capitol, but grew up in Fond du Lac mostly. (I say mostly because I also lived in Puerto Rico when I was 7 - it's hard to remember much! LOL) I'm a member of an awesome church with lots & lots of music!! I sing in our choir & my son used to play chimes.

I'm so glad to see GREEN GRASS finally & even some flowering trees already! How about you?
