You Know You're From Delaware When...




Are you from Delaware?
Do you like Delaware?
Do you sometimes wish you ARE Delaware?

If you answered yes to the first two questions, this blog is for you.

If you answered yes to the third question, I suggest you get some help. A human being can't be a state.

SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN!

If your submission is not posted, it's because of one of these reasons:
- Submissions were closed when you submitted.
- I haven't gotten to it yet or it's still in the queue.
- It wasn't "Delaware enough."
- It's too similar to another submission.
- I didn't like it.

[Yes, the submission box and ask box are the same thing. It's totally intentional.]


UPDATES.

Oh ye gods! 

silverhakai:

Folks, I am so sorry, but I HAD TO reblog this.

My Delaware senses were tingling, and I couldn’t ignore them.



Reblog or like if you’re from Delaware 

liveyourlifeveryday:

I’m moving there this summer and I’m not gonna know anybody so who is from there?







I love people who are all “Delaware kicks ass. We have no sales taxes or taxes on anything really.” 

stupidlittletuftybeard:

It’s because THAT’S WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO CONVINCE PEOPLE TO LIVE IN FUCKING DELAWARE.

People who say this have obviously never fully experienced everything Delaware has to offer.

*smh*



themostawkwardkid:

Sometimes I think about all of the beautiful places on this earth

And then I realize that I live in Delaware

And then I get sad.

And then I get sad for you because there are some truly beautiful places in Delaware.



On a serious note. 

I know this blog is “only supposed to be for funny stuff” or something like that, but this blog also reaches a decent amount of people and I would be a fool to ignore this topic.

I go to an out-of-state college, so I haven’t been getting a lot of news about Delaware happenings. So I only just heard about the recent uptick in teen suicides in our lovely state.

What I’m about to say applies to both adults and teens…

If you know someone who is thinking of suicide or think you know someone at risk for it, talk to them. Get them help. Do something other than just brushing the notion off. Let them know they aren’t alone in this world. Let them know that somebody is there for them.

Suicide is not the answer to problems, and it honestly often causes more problems than people realize.

If you don’t feel comfortable talking to someone you feel is at risk, direct them to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. This also applies to anybody reading this who is thinking about suicide and doesn’t feel comfortable talking to family or friends. Call 1-800-273-8255. It is completely confidential, available 24/7, and they will help you.



You Know You're From DE When...This is a police scanner highlight.

YKYFDW t-shirts now available! 

Remember that surprise I said I was working on?

…It was t-shirts.

You can now buy your favorite YKYFDW posts (except for ones with trademarked terms in them…) in t-shirt form for only $25.40.

So far only #7 and #22 are available, but I can make others. Just send me a message through the ask box, and I’ll make the most popular requests (unless they have a trademarked term in them, because I can’t afford and don’t want to get sued.)
