You know you're from Ohio/Texas when...

I recently saw a list that was, "You know you're from Ohio when..." The list was good, but I figured I could make one I liked better. While I was at it I made a list for Texas too, because I'm really a Texan that has been misplaced in Ohio for a while.

You know you're from Ohio when...
-You've figured out that Ohio's state flag looks like this-not this-You think meeting an OSU football player is meeting a celebrity
-You know a buckeye is not the eye of a deer
-You have a recipe to make buckeyes
-You're a minority while grocery shopping at Meijer
-You know Jack Nicklaus is a golfer and not a movie star
-You think Graeter's has the best ice cream
-You refer to the color red as scarlet
-You've driven on the same street for 4 blocks and seen the name change 4 times
-You know how to respond when someone yells, "O-H"
-You've used the heater and A/C on the same day
-You wear scarlet and grey every Saturday afternoon in the fall
-Saying the words blue or Michigan is offensive
-You are proud to know that Wendy's started here
-You make jewelry from seeds off a tree and wear it to football games
-Even though you live in the NE part of the country and are in Eastern standard time you tell everyone you live in the Midwest
-And finally, these last 3 I copied from the list...
-You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
-Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
-You know all 4 seasons: Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, and Construction.

You know you're from Texas when...
-You know Texas History better than any other subject, because they make you take it all 12 years of grade school
-You wore a huge mum covered with ribbons, bells, stickers, and to top it off, a teddy bear on homecoming day
-You understand Spanish better than properly spoken English
-You drive with your fingertips to avoid burning off all your finger prints
-Cockroaches are part of your family
-You know that ants bite
-School gets canceled because the temp is around 40 degrees, and there's a chance there is water that could freeze somewhere in the state
-During the summer you live in your swimsuit
-Your favorite time of year is winter, because the weather is bearable
-Your Ford truck is considered your small, compact vehicle
-If you could choose your last meal you would choose Papasitos and Blue Bell ice cream
-When you arrive at the airport you are masked with a blanket of humidity
-Pickles are sold at movie theaters
-You know Texas' pledge of allegiance better the the nations
-You own a shirt that say, "Don't mess with Texas"
-You always have Blue Bell ice cream stocked in your freezer
-The words, ya'll, fixin' and reckin' are part of your vocabulary
-You know how to use the words, ya'll, fixin' and reckin' in one sentence, example, "I reckin' ya'll are fixin' to go get some Blue Bell ice cream."

Feel free and make any additions in your comments. I'm sure I've missed some.
