u know you've been in FM too long when you spend more time Ugg/Coach shopping than u spend on homework

wierd it double posted

You know you've been in Michigan too long when you find it normal to have snow, then the next day temps in the 70's.
When someone asks where you live and you show them by pointing to your hand.
When you know how to pronounce "Mackinac" (I doubt any of you can do this one)
When you think that it's normal for a road to be redone once a year.

Also, I heard one a while ago that said that "You know you've been in Michigan too long when you call a soda 'pop'". Is that really not normal?

depends on the state "pop" in NY is very rare but i have relatives in PA who call it "pop"
Also did you know that in Wisconsin and Drinking Fountin is called a "Bubbler"
I found that out at my cousins wedding--all of my NY relatives make fun of the WI ones for that

No. Pop in YOUR part of NY may be rare. The western half of the state calls it pop though.
