bear_original From my son-in-law's Mom Audrey!

You know you are from Vancouver when........

1. Your co-worker has 8 body piercings and none are visible

2. You make over $250,000 a year and still can't afford a house.

3. You take the bus and are shocked to hear two people carrying on a
conversation in English.

4. You know what these abbreviations mean: PNE, GVRD, VPL, RAV, YVR.

5. You're shocked when it snows in the winter.

6. You've had a California roll for lunch.

7. You know more than 10 ways to order coffee.

8. You know how to pronounce Coquihalla.

9. A really great parking space can move you to tears.

10. Your hairdresser is straight, your plumber is gay, and your next door
neighbour grows weed.

11. At 8:30 AM, the guy at Starbucks wearing the baseball cap and sun
glasses who looks like George Clooney IS George Clooney.

12. You car insurance costs as much as your house payment.

13. The gym is packed at 3 PM--on a work day.

14. You can tell the difference between Japanese, Thai, and Chinese food.

15. You watch the weather from a Seattle TV station because it's more
accurate.

16. You pass an elementary school and the children are all busy with
Their cell phones or pagers while waiting for their personal rides home.

17. You're sure that you're the only one on the road with a REAL driver's
license.

18. You don't even listen when the forecast announces "chances of
showers."

19. The more expensive the car, the worse the driver.

20. You can tell the difference between Starbucks, Second Cup and Tim
Horton's coffees.

21. You feel guilty when you throw paper or aluminum cans in the garbage.

22. You're not surprised to see geese throughout the whole year.

23. You can't remember: is pot still illegal?

24. If there's a day of snowfall, you consider not going to school or
work.

25. You realize there are far more Rainbow flags in the city than
Canadian flags.

26. You can name 10 Starbucks locations in less than a minute.

27. You don't even blink at the same sex couple holding hands on the
street, but it shocks you when you meet a couple married for 40 years!

How true it is.  Although living here on Vancouver Island I must say that we are a tad less worldly than they are on the mainland.

A lot of it fits Oregon too.....hmmmmm except its not Starbucks, its Dutch Brothers, Except in the Illionois valley where the coffee kiosk is Coyote.....Ya have to wonder.......

We never pay attention to the forcast for rain as it is roughly 7-8 month out of the year.....its the forecasts for sun that send us into a tailspin.....sigh


You didn't mention what gas is costing....

now there's a joke....


It is sad to hear that home prices are so high-I thought it was rough here.



dilu  flying below the radar with the ducks-let the geese go north....
