...couldn't help it! Some are a little overboard, but a lot of them are too true...

- You measure distance in hours.
- You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
- Stores don't have bags, they have sacks.
- Stores don't have shopping carts; they have buggies.
- You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it, no matter what time of the year.
- You use "fix" as a verb. Example: I am fixing to go to the store.
- All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, or animal.
- You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
- You carry jumper cables in your car ..... for your Own car.
- You know what "cow tipping" and "snipe hunting" are.
- You only own four spices: salt, pepper, ketchup, and Tabasco
- You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.
- You think sexy lingerie is a tee shirt and boxer shorts.
- The local paper covers national and international news on one page but requires 6 pages for sports.
- You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.
- You know which leaves make good toilet paper.
- You find 90 degrees F "a little warm."
- You know all four seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer, and Christmas.
- You know whether another Texan is from South, Central, or North Texas as soon as they open their mouth.
- You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as "good chili weather."
- A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola, or pop ... it's a Coke, regardless of brand or flavor.

You're too quick for me. I was looking up Texas as we speak.

It's hilarious how people who live in these states look at these things and think they're no big deal.

Couple more...

- You have to turn on the air conditioning in January, two days after a low of 29 degrees.

- You have a Roach Story: You opened your flatware drawer to find a roach the size of the Taco Bell chihuahua. He stood up and looked you in the eye. You closed the drawer, bought new flatware - and stored it in the oven. Or your friend has a Roach Story - about a dive bomber who crashed her formal dinner party, made several passes at guests whose heads were bobbing like little dogs in car windows, and finally landed in somebody’s soup.

- When you see your neighbor dancing around the front yard, you don’t think he’s won the Publisher’s Clearing House Sweepstakes; you know that he just stepped in a fire ant bed.

- You know that the Astrodome will always be the Eighth Wonder of the World.

- You come to work in short sleeves and walk out at noon to find that a "blue-tailed norther" has blown through and the temperature has dropped 40 degrees in a matter of minutes.

- The "Killer Bees" are not stinging insects.

- You know that "Dad gummit" has nothing to do with your father’s failure to practice good dental hygiene.

- You think "Y’all" is perfectly good usage if you’re referring to more than one person.

- If the humidity is below 90 percent, it’s a GOOD hair day.

I love the fire ant bed one.

I've had my fair share of ant mishaps...

...and the roach one explains my great fear of them!

*Groan* Some of these are so true. Especially about the weather.

It should be, in my opinion at least.

Yep, and can you believe someone actually stole them out of my car .

Darn, I thought everybody did that :p .

I think most of these are true if you are from Alabama too! It was refreshing to remember South of the US!

Yeah, don't y'all know we always talk like this?

Patchie, I found one list where every one of them was about the hot weather...I guess it's a trademark.

Afsaneh, it's funny how you can find things similar to your own area in the lists for a completely different state! I recognized a couple in other lists...must be the Southern thing.

You know you're from Texas when you sell a snowball on e-bay.

I saw that this morning. Hey...if a grilled cheese sandwich can be sold on e-bay....

Beth, when it snowed here on Christmas Eve, we collected the snow off of various things outside, stuck it all in a cooking pot, and saved it in our freezer.

Yep, I'm from Texas, apparently!
