You know you're from Saskatchewan when...

You wake up, start the truck and THEN hop in the shower.

It's -45 outside and you're still in the mood for a Slushie.

Your car trunk doubles as a deep freeze. (This is too true - one more day of nice weather last week and that would have been the end of my turkey!

You spend more time and money planning for Craven than for Christmas.

Your town buys a Zamboni before a bus.

You see no problem in cheering for Edmonton during the NHL season and despising Edmonton during the CFL season.

Your idea of a traffic jam is 10 cars waiting to pass a combine on the highway.

You remember Beep.

The annual family reunion is at the Labour Day Classic.

You don't find anything funny about the word "Regina."

You've been playing crib since you were eight.

You are asked if you know "Chris" from "Maymont," and you do.

The wedding date is changed after the Riders release their home schedule.

The local paper covers national and international news on one page but requires six pages for hockey.

You are upset when an outsider doesn't know the difference between a farmer and a rancher.

You live in a house that has no front step, yet the front door is one metre off the ground... no-one uses the front door anyway.

Your home town has a fully functional hockey rink, curling rink and church, but the school is closed.

Driver's Ed was a joke because you and your classmates had been driving since you were 10.

Your first car was pulled out of the bush, given a shot of ether and a can of Wynn's.

You say, "Ring those phones!" and "Where are we going?" and everybody knows to shout: "Higher!"

Whenever you're going to a buddy's place anywhere but Regina or Saskatoon, it's "just off Main Street."

90 per cent of your tools were bought at Princess Auto and the other 10 per cent at the local Co-op

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Ah Saskatchewan - where you can see the mailman coming the day after tomorrow

(lived there for 5 months)

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Ahhh Saskatchewan born and raised! I can totally relate to most of those but I am from the city!!

I can't stand it when people start giggling when I say I am from Regina! With the weather being back in the deep freeze I can totally relate to starting the car that early, I wait until I can blowdry my hair which takes 10 minutes!!

Ring those phones!! Heheh Telemiracle is on March 7th and 8th in Saskatoon, I can't wait to see it on TV there are some really good local performers on and I think Doc Walker will be there!

Hey Flames didn't you say you'll be heading to Saskatoon sometime in March? Can't miss Telemiracle if you are! LOL
