One of us! One of us! Bell's Two Hearted was our "signature" craft beer at our wedding on the shores of Lake Michigan in SW Michigan. I embrace my Midwest* *Ohio not included You’re not true Michigan variety Midwest unless you add a superfluous “S” to the names of places. As in “I’m going to Kroger’s, anyone need anything” or “I work at Ford’s” or “Would you pick up some pop when you go to Meijer’s?” Do any other states do this or is it just a Michigan phenomenon? Ohio for sure does it sadly. I catch myself sometimes and out on the cone of shame

I am cracking up. And now I want a Bells. And have embraced that I’m a midwesterner now. I guess 15 years here has made my switch almost complete. I even said pop the other day and almost fell over when I realized lol One of us! One of us! Bell's Two Hearted was our "signature" craft beer at our wedding on the shores of Lake Michigan in SW Michigan. I embrace my Midwest* *Ohio not included Bitch

I remember reading a story of a person who just… kept putting contacts in? Like, maybe they thought the previous one dissolved or something? I think they just ended up at the back of their eye and then had to get like a stack of lenses removed. So weird. this was just an episode of 9-1-1 recently. She had 20+ pulled out by the EMT.

Except it's more like "er no." I've lost the rest of my Yooper-isms but I can't seem to quit this one.

Chicagoans do it with the grocery store- Jewel Osco. Go to Jewels. I and Aldi’s. It makes me chuckle bc at first I was like wait what where? And now I’m like yep.

I do it with every store too but in my defense we had a small chain super local to me that’s name actually did end with: ‘s so like Smith’s grocery store. I just assumed it was the same with Mr Fred Meijer’s grocery store.

Where my Midwest girls at? Just spotted this at the grocery store and chuckled. If you can't read it, it has all our nice-ish phrases with favorites such as: Ope, sorry! Just gonna sneak past ya. Yeah no, for sure. Also appropriate for small town Ontario 😉 No, yeah. For sure!

I’m very bad at sleeping with my contacts in.. I was scrolling quickly and could've sworn you said "I'm very bad about sleeping with my stepdad" which would be a horrifying FFFC dropped into the blinds.

This huge designer told this not very popular actor they were going to make him one of the three faces of their fragrances. The actor's people had been pushing for it for a long time and the brand agreed because they thought they would get some points for it. At the same time, they also expected the actor to earn the money. Instead, the actor blew off Fashion Week and the press that went with it, but is now demanding a raise because they feel they need to be paid even more than the other faces of the fragrance.

The A list everything in her mind celebrity changes her drivers constantly because she only wants guys who are single and fit and pay attention to her all the time. Have you also noticed she never lets her husband drive her anywhere.

Speaking of past blind items, this medical celebrity was featured in a very long blind item just a few days before he was arrested for his current child p**n charges. It came as a shock to everyone but all of you who read about his past. In his statement to the court, he said it had never had happened before or since. The victim who tipped the world in this space, would beg to disagree. The court believed the lying medical celebrity and got a slap on the wrist.

You’re not true Michigan variety Midwest unless you add a superfluous “S” to the names of places. As in “I’m going to Kroger’s, anyone need anything” or “I work at Ford’s” or “Would you pick up some pop when you go to Meijer’s?” Do any other states do this or is it just a Michigan phenomenon? I thought it was called "Nordstrom's" for an embarassingly long time. My other favorite expression is adding "or no" to the end of questions. As in "do you want to go to the movies tomorrow, or no." Except it's more like "er no." I've lost the rest of my Yooper-isms but I can't seem to quit this one. DH isn't midwestern, but he still says "Barnes and Nobles" and I hate hate hate it.

If you had asked me, I would have sworn the true and correct name was with an ‘s until this post. I swear to God, there is, in fact, an ‘s on the front of the building.

MH is watching the Masters and I heard them talking about Tiger Woods so I walked by and said "ugh not that cannibal." H just shook his head at me and said "blinds stuff?" He knows me well.

I just saw that, no doubt she's already writing songs about it. That blue coat in the picture above is gorgeous! You can tell it's cashmere just by looking 💙
