Delaware's New State Motto

[Burma Jones]

"You're always close to somewhere else"

Coined by my son on the way home from New York today........

[Burma Jones]

1. ....

2. heheheh n/t

[bridgit]

3. too true, you've driven through it by the time you've unfolded the map...

:)

[LostinVA]

4. No, it's: "Delaware, where we charge you $5 for 15 minutes of driving."

[Burma Jones]

7. Only if you have EZPass

Otherwise it's more like half an hour......

[GoddessOfGuinness]

21. I heart my EZPass

:loveya:
Even if it does cost $5 to drive on a section of highway you could spit across.

[LostinVA]

27. giggle

[LynneSin]

8. That's because those of us in the know can get from DC to NJ without a toll

But since you're mean about my state I'm not about to share that one with you!

[Crabby Appleton]

5. I thought it was "Just like a real state, only smaller" nt

[LostinVA]

6. "Delaware: The world's best landbridge between Maryland and New Jersey."

[LynneSin]

9. Delaware: At least my state has 2 dem senators and a dem governor

So shut the *$)% up if your state doesn't!

[Burma Jones]

10. Natty Natty Boo Boo, Maryland has a Dem Gov and two Dem Senators

and my County has not a single Republican in any elected office, not even Registrar of Wills.......

[LynneSin]

11. You're one to talk - you have a slew of tolls on 95

I mean geez, I have to pay to drive through Baltimore :grr:

[Burma Jones]

15. I don't, but I live west of Bawlmer - closer to Frederick

My only real beef with the Delaware Tolls is that they haven't made them one way, like the Bridge.......

I always wave to Shane's Memorial "died in a car wreck" cross on the Northbound side of 95

Delaware has the best beaches in the Mid Atlantic by far

My Uncle owned a Horse that won at Delaware Park once, we were there and got to do the whole Winner's Circle Picture stuff along with spending the whole day at the track, hanging out at the stables, all that jazz

[LynneSin]

16. You are a welcomed friend to Delaware any time of the week

Notice that we allow Pennsylvanians and Western Marylanders in for free!

[LostinVA]

18. I'll soon have ALL that AND live in a real state

:pals:

[KamaAina]

12. Delaware: We May Only Have One DUer, But She Kicks Everyone Else's Butt!

might be kind of hard to fit on the license plates, though :-)

[LynneSin]

13. There are other DUers from Delaware

I'm just the most obnoxious!

[Ms_Dem_Meanor]

17. Delaware DUer here!!!

Hi LynneSin!!! :hi:

[LynneSin]

20. Heya Ms_Dem

:pals:

We should hang out sometime!

[Ms_Dem_Meanor]

22. Love to hangout!!!

:pals:


Kind of hard to do right now. Getting my daughter ready for the prom!

[LostinVA]

19. This is tres true, Sissie

[LynneSin]

23. BTW- this is the Delaware secret

Get off of 95 at Aberdeen for route 40. You'll have to pay $5 one time but ask for the sticker. It's good for a year to cross the Aberdeen Bridge on route 40 which will take you up into Delaware.

It adds about 10-15 minutes onto your trip but saves alot in money. It's also a good alternative route if 95 becomes a parking lot.

Also - I know there are two bridge without a toll that connect PA to New Jersey. One is the New Hope Bridge but that would probably take you out of your way especially if you're not familiar with the area. There's another one in Philadelphia but I have no clue which one that is.

And for all the shit I get about Delaware tolls, hell you can't go to the damn grocery store without paying a turnpike toll in New Jersey :grr:

[Ms_Dem_Meanor]

24. Don't forget all the taxes that NJ has!!!

How in the hell do you put taxes on toilet paper!!! :shrug: Can't even wipe your ass without paying $0.08. :mad:


I can say that at least the gas is cheaper than DE. :hide:

[LynneSin]

25. So is the booze and cigerettes

I don't smoke but anytime I stop for gas right over the Del Mem Bridge, the parking lot is filled with NJ plates looking to buy cheap smokes.

[PVnRT]

14. Delaware: Come See A Screen Door Factory!
