Catholic_4_Life Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 [quote name='St. Catherine' date='Jul 21 2004, 01:24 PM'] Where at in Utah? I live in Utah. [/quote] All over! Let's see: West Valley Ogden Taylorsville Kearns Murray West Jordan. My mom still lives in West Jordan. I went to Taylorsville High School (Go Warriors), and also to ITT tech. Where else? Oh yeah, Valley Jr. High...man I hated that place. I used to go out to St. Francis Xavier to church, then we started going to St. Martin De Porus (sp?) and finally to St. Vincent de Paul before I left to move to Indiana. I used to love going to the Cathedral in Salt Lake...it's where I was confirmed! Anyway...that's my Utah life. I spent a lot of time camping up around Strawberry Resevoir too. Ahhhh...the memories...

Guest JeffCR07 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 lol, i think like 90% of those apply to me. I'm from Maryland, which is the schizophrenic/bi-polar state, it just can't figure out whether its northern or southern, lol. But I suppose I'm adding weight to the side that says its northern.

Mickey's_Girl Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 LOL! Looking at the fellow Hoosiers who have so identified themselves, I see they're more of the red- than blue-neck variety. Many proud rednecks among us--I've known and admired several. But as I have said elsewhere on this forum, I'm definitely a Yankee (besides, I live in the northern half of the state, and Southern Indiana is far more like KY than Indiana). I felt it was high time to rep the city Hoosiers. Probably 70% of those apply to me. But I like spices, I know what binoculars are, and I've never been to Neiman Marcus. However, "barbecue" is an outdoor verb, and I drink "pop", even though it's invariably Coke. I've never been further south than St. Louis. Six Flags would kill me dead, and I *always* say "you guys": it's an idiom, get over it! MG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
