Wow
I was curious to see what Google thought of my state, and I was not disappointed. (I had to write a short autobiography for several national competitions, and I was trying to think of Alaskan jokes to slip in there.)

For fun I looked up Wisconsin and we are stupid & friendly. Do you suppose we are friendly because we are too stupid to know better? LOL
Alaskans are independent.
Alaskans are rugged individualists.
Perhaps that should be our summer Gulch!
BTW, my older daughter is taking her Biochemistry exam today.
In four or five years, you'll be next, I hope.
Biochemistry is fun! I try to take courses that interest me outside of school; I recently finished a few on molecular biology, and I started one last night on statistical gene mapping. I hope she does well on her exam!
Considering the source it doesn't surprise me.
"Wisconsinites are stupid"
"Wisconsinites are friendly".
"Why are Wisconsinites called Badgers?"
My experience would want to query "Wisconsinites are passive aggressive", or "Wisconsinites park in the left lane", but mine is an east coaster's perspective.
There's an old joke about Minnesota:
Minnesota's State bird is the loon.
The State insect is the tick.
People from Minnesota are loon-a-ticks.
Popular TV show Alaska Bush People, Billy Brown is in trouble for his Alaska citizen status being questionable and him trying to realize an oil check.
But in reality, like many states I'm sure...we are quite the opposite.
We just don't put up with stupitiy...
Now Greenwich Connecticut? that's a whole different story...too close to NY Values.
What blows my mind is that I meet about 1000 people a week and converse with many and only one in 5 years was a liberal...So, my question is: Where the hell do they hide out...you only hear about them at voting time...and usually due to the way the voting went...maybe they are closet liberals.
Carl, I meet a lot of people in hospice care, most of them will not be alive in 6 months or less. Usually, death is days away. People tend to speak their mind a lot, without reservation, when they are in this position, and I can assure you that the percentages that you are seeing are consistent with my experience as well.
They won't be voting in the next election, and for that reason exactly, politicians don't care what they have to say today.
I do have some contact with the patients and some I've came to love....but I had to stop that because I couldn't take it, I cried with the families.
My job is to keep the building functioning and man the front desk...nothing much to guard here but I'm there to help and I do a lot of listening to families when they need to talk, many times we have deep discussions.
Because of my studies and writings they pick up on my expressions and we each learn but more important we strengthen the bond of mutuality that human beings naturally have for each other when allowed, and are free to do so.
That's sad too...that we are not allowed to or free to...express that natural mutuality everywhere. It was our natural mutuality we had for others outside family units that is testimony to our survival...which for some reason was a concern to me for as long as I can remember.
Thanks for sharing.
"tennesseans are
"tennesseans are stupid
"why are tennesseans called butternuts?
"how many tennesseans are uninsured?
"why are tennesseans called volunteers?"
butternuts from having tan uniforms in the revolutionary war;;;
volunteers from having helped texas at the alamo
and new orleans during the war of 1812 against the brits.
and alaskans are wonderful -- check out Sarah Palin
or Kirsten Powers if you think "idiots." -- j
.
is sure a small world, and I am mighty glad that you
are in it, Sarah!!! -- john
.
called "beenverified" which could find only one
Montalbano in alaska. . I saw that it was wasilla and
thought of my friend Sarah Palin -- bought her book
and voted for her -- and so I put 2 and 2 together.......
I should have made it a private message, and I want
to apologize doubly for that. . I adore you and want to try
to help to make your future better, if I can, including
helping with Dr. Jim Brenner and FIT if that is an
option, in your view. . please do not take it negatively
in any way, Sarah. . please. -- john
.
which goes out, on here, is permanent and must be
considered very carefully -- the sum total of everything
which has gone out can eventually make for problems .......
I'm just looking at phone book and social site info
with beenverified, but it includes some stuff which
would make you say "Huh?" and the service is
cheap. . we do need to be careful. . it does include
your mom's age and your address, your phone #
and likely e-mail addresses, relatives' names and
deed info about your home. . all from public records.
I do not disclose much of that stuff. -- john
.
Florida Tech would love to see you study down there .......
he's a wonderful guy and the program sounds great,
though it's not cheap ... yet there are scholarships
and he can work with you on that!!! -- john
.
few days;;; you might want to wait until next weekend
to try to contact him. . he's a totally trustworthy guy
and I bet that you will like him a lot!!! -- john
