Why do Pennsylvanians refer to Pennsylvania as P.A.? -

I live in Pennsylvania and most people say this.Why do they do that?No other state does it.thanks.

The letters P , A , make up the official postal service abbreviation for Pennsylvania.

PA is two syllables.Pennsylvania is five syllables if it s pronounced correctly, and with four syllables usually.

Many longer named states residents abbreviate the name of their respective stated, Mass, Cali, Ole Miss. We just happen to say PA. Some refer to it as Pennsy.

I wouldn t say I m from MA. I normally wouldn t say I m from Massachusetts. I m from Mass.

Because it s easier to say??[This is not a travel question.]

Because we re cool like that.

Can I get a parkhopper online for tomorrow? -

I want to get into the Anaheim park tomorrow. Can I purchase a park-hopper for one day onlin?

yeah just call customer service in order to make sure you could do that Good Luck

Yes...after you ve selected your ticket http://disneyland.disney.go.com/disneyla�� you ll then proceed to check out ...if you are not already registered thru Disney then you will be asked to do so before anything...upon near completion of transaction, you can select Disney s eTicket and I believe it will be sent to your e-mail address ready for printout...once you re at the Disneyland, you ll just go to the park entrance turnstile, they will scan your computer printout, then they will replace it with an actual park ticket to use throughout the day. ...frequently asked questions for the eTicket http://disneyland.disney.go.com/disneyla�� ...have a great time!

Yes you can. Just purchase it and either chose will call in which you can pick it up at the main entrance at the will call window ($5.00) or you can print it out on your computer for free.

Make sure you use http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/ not the link someone else gave that is to the california park, not orlando.

Texas guy about to visit Monticello,Minnesota.What do i need to know? -

So I live in Texas all my life and never even been out of state before.But i am going to be visiting a friend in Monticello,Minnesota And i would like to know any helpful tips or advice.what i should take to keep warm.what i should be wearing..anything you think is helpful since i am not use to cold weather.Give me some insights for minnesota..what can i expected?

BRING LAYERS AND LAYERS AND LAYERS!!!!!! we just had a snow storm in minnesota it s really not that bad of a storm considering i ve seen about 3 feet of snow in one day, but in some areas its about 2 feet at the highest, you are coming at a bad time to visit, especially if you are a Southerner who has never seen snow! and you may want to learn about windchill, i ve noticed people in other states don t really know what windchill is, don t listen to what temp the actual weather is going to be, look for windchill, it s what it will actually feel like! but minnesota is a very nice place to be! and if you go anywhere its POP! not soda! (: lol and its hot dish! and no we don t say eh? or you betcha, and it is polite to smile at people when you walk by! so yes we are minnesota nice lol! but if you are really not used to cold weather, seriously be prepared, i m used to 20 degrees, that s a pretty nice day out! this week it s going to be in the 10s and may drop below 0 which is not unusual for this time of year, actually it s been pretty warm, and yes we do have lots of lakes over 22,000 to be exact! and if you are a southerner with a heavy accent, then expect to think we have funny accents, when i went down south, i had many people comment on my accent but over all it s a very nice place to be! in the summer you should come up here and rent a cabin on Superior, or in the fall! in summer we get pretty warm around 80-90 but we won t need to think about that for awhile (:hope you love it here!!!!!!!!!! if you have any more questions about minnesota or minnesotans feel free to send me a message! i ve lived here my whole life (: and love it!

Well its a bad time for you to go because we just had a snow storm a few days ago! lol! we ve been getting negitive temps but for somebody who lives here isn t to bad but since ur used to hot hot weather then it may be a little weird! Report Abuse

o and i GARUNTEE YOU WILL SEE SNOW!!!!! we usually have snow in november!!!! there has never been a time we haven t had snow then!!!!!! i garuntee you will se snow!!!!!!!!!! Report Abuse

Where can I go for affordable Vegas nightlife? -

I m in Vegas right now, and ever bar i hit, has at least a $30 cover charge. Is there anywhere on the strip that is cheaper.

Hi, yes, its all about who you know. Working with a club promoter is usually the best way to go. Its free (their paid by the clubs) and its in their best interest to make sure you get in with no problems. If you have 1+ lady for every gent use VIP Guestlist. If not, use VIP Passes. Check out my site for tons of info on how to get into clubs for free or cheap. I ve been a Vegas Club Promoter for years, let me know how I can help.Chris Hornak702.518.2582

Not really. You can try old downtown vegas. but I don t think you ll find anything less unless you want to go to some hole in the wall.

Will I get into UT in Austin? -

I didnt get into UT when i applied after high school. So i went to Texas State so that I could transfer my soph year. I have a 4.0 GPA and am sort of involved in some organizations at texas state. idk what else i could do to make my transfer application look any better? I don t know if I have a shot at getting in either?

The Magic 8-Ball says: Don t count on it. OK, re-do.The Magic 8-Ball says: It s possible. Now do you feel better? Do you think that the Admissions Committee will take our advice? Did you remember to capitalize Texas State the second time you mentioned it on your application? Did you capitalize the first letter of sentences? What, specifically, does and am sort of involved in some organizations at texas state mean? That you re sitting in the back row and seeing if you can surf for dirty pictures on Flickr on somebody else s wi-fi while other people are pulling the weight?

UT only accepts people in the top 10% of the class. If you are in the top 10%, you are mostly to be picked into they school. It s even better is you are in the top 10 people because they know that you deserve to be there.

Is Oregon a grassy state? -

What to do In San Antonio and the Hill Country? -

I am going to be in San Antonio for 4 days in March (15-19th), and would like to know what some things to do are? So far this is what I have:The AlamoSan Antonio Missions Historical parkDowntown areaMarket Square La Villita Shopping DistrictIs there anything else I should check out? I want to do San Antonio in about a day to day and a half.I would also like to visit some places in the Hill Country but am not sure what places are best? I will budget one day to check out some places in the Hill Country. I will spend my third day in Austin and am thinking about finishing up the 4th day (which is technically 1/4 of a day) in San Marcos at the Outlets. If you could add anything to the list above, I would appreciate it! Thanks

the river walk is always nice, if your into theme parks or have kids there is seaword and six flags, and by the way the san marcos outlets (prime and tanger) are amazing you wont regret going there. there is so many stores and deals youll have a panic attack. if your a young adult and want to party i strongly recommend 6th street in austin. youll find a whole lot of mom and pop shops and food places in austin ( keep austin weird promote local buisness ) and there is always great music shows there. texas in general is fun. houston is also amazing except the traffic can be overwhelming if your not used to it. glaveston and khema are own the coast right next to houston and are great to spend the day at the beach and boardwalk. youll love it!

The AlamoSan Antonio Missions Historical parkDowntown areaMarket Square These are very good areas to visit. Be sure to visit the River Walk. This is in the heart of downtown. Lots of history and shopping and food. Be very care full in the city. you will see a lot of Mexicans and you will see a lot of less desirable people down town.

Is it too late to get a hotel in Vegas for New Years? -

It s NEVER too late...it s more a matter of what you can afford. All the properties increase their rates and usually have minimum stay standards...but with Aria opening up last night and adding another 4,004 rooms to the city...it helps!!! Oh, and Aria s regular weekend rate is supposed to be around $199...I m sure higher for new years though!!!If you REALLY need help...click on my profile, tell me your scenario...I can make anything happen in this town...so long as it s legal that is!!! :D

Excalibur has a room for Thursday and Friday night for $444.28 (includes tax). That same room goes for $78.28 (includes tax) for Sunday and Monday.-----------------Golden Nugget (downtown) has room for $387 for Thursday Friday and Saturday)---------------Frankly I would get a room for $50 a night at the Downtowner Las Vegas and walk to Fremont Street. Then you can stay at the Golden Nugget for $168 for Friday and Saturday). The downtowner may be one of the ugliest hotels you ve ever stayed at, but it is not dangerous, but if you are going to be up all night it is a place to park your car and get a shower.

No especially since City Center s Aria just opened

Not too late but you are going to pay through the nose.

There are many hotels like MGM Grand e.g. which have rooms available. Perhaps you will also get a New Years special, I would check http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com for this.
