Mein Kampf.
Also, Satan isn't real, so it's not really a good comparison.

Reply to Pa. delegation pushes to end opioid treatment co-pays, saying many people thwarted by cost by oldschoolskater
Wtf about almost literally everyone else who can't afford normal dr co-pays or mental health co-pays?
It's not their fault either.

Cumberland County is a pretty nice place, we get over to Pine Grove Furnace to swim every summer.
My wife from Lancaster still makes fun of the way I say some things after being together almost 14 years lol
And yeah the hill thing really amuses me. It's really fun driving a manual transmission out there.

Enjoy yourself! There's lots of nice places to live out there. Before I had a wife and kids, I seriously considered moving back to the west end of the state.
It's not culture shock by any means. It's just different in some interesting ways.

Even if people in Pittsburgh talk that different from the country (which having lived there, I'd argue there isn't much difference), my point is that there is a some distinct differences between west vs east dialects.

Pretty similar experience here. Even married someone native to the area also.

Yes, it is. My family also referred to a toilet as a commode.

I like it out there, too. I miss all the woods. There is a lot of development and farmland where I'm at now.

I was comparing Lancaster County to Armstrong County. Not Lancaster city to Pittsburgh.
Also, the exact point I was making is that Western and Eastern Pennsylvania are different from each other.

My grandparents and some friends lived in Westmoreland.
My coworker was thinking about moving to Florida from Lebanon County PA. He couldn't do it because the highest paying job he could find in the same field was a $ 17-hour pay cut.

The angle of the hill. Relatively gentle rises are often referred to as hills here. Whereas no one I know out in western PA would count the same rise as a hill.

In my town in Lancaster county, the poverty rate is 5%, and the town I used to live in is 17%. Salaries are also significantly higher where I live now, the area is growing, and downtown is busy. Where I'm from, the population is shrinking pretty quickly, and lots of downtowns are filled with mostly empty shops. So comparatively, it's much greener in some ways. But I still like it out there.
But you are correct. It is still Pennsylvania.

Get used to it, lol. Also, I believe the correct spelling is yinz. I wouldn't ordinarily correct anyone, but seeing as how you live there now, I thought you may like to know.

We used to go to Indiana town of, occasionally to eat at, I think it was Fire Mountain maybe? Previously Ryan's? I think.
Also, yes, my kids still have off the Monday after Thanksgiving. However, rifle opens the Saturday immediately following Thanksgiving now.

I love to visit too, but likewise I have my own family and home and I'm pretty happy where I'm at. And yeah, people pick up where I'm from sometimes based on my vernacular.
Smiley cookies were one of my favorites. We also have friends in Glen Campbell that we visit a couple of times a year, not sure how close that was to you.

Reply to Buying alcohol with NY temp ID and expired license by peachy_keen451
I've been denied service more than once with an expired driver's license. I tried to explain to them if it was valid the week before, and I was old enough last week, then i could only be older than that. But they wouldn't hear it.
I have no experience with a temp ID.
