"Midwesterners make the best of any situation. It's just in our nature." - From the Chicago Tribune's 365-part series: We Are the Best People Anywhere and Not Just Because of Our Humility
You Born Today (or on any other day in any part of the 12-state region that includes Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin), are predisposed to make the best of any situation. It is part of your nature. Not like those flighty, preening, whiners on the coasts or in any of the other 38 states where people cannot be trusted. Today is a good day to just go about your life with the steady, uncomplaining humility that makes the region's 66 million people so gosh darn unique. Make the best of things. Write a book, run for office, invite some people over for dinner.
Others who share your horoscope: James Frey, Rod Blagojevich, Jeffrey Dahmer
You must have been told to stop whining again, huh?

They reported it. Perhaps they were just being ironic. It can be hard to tell...

I'm sure that everyone who came in contact with Dahmer, Blagojevich, or Frey were complaining.
This preening, flighty, whiner from Virginia would totally come and complain with you except that I get made fun of for my accent (think Appalachian mountains meets a Texan Georgia peach, it's that bad).

I don't think we should let Missouri in, or parts of Southern IL and IN. They talk funny there which no doubt indicates a more relaxed work ethic.
And you forgot Ed Gein. Blame it on the winters and religions that have all the most creative aspects of fundamentalism and guilt.

I would rather have been eaten by Dahmer than spend even one minute with Blagojevich.

Horse poop I tell you. I married a Chicago/Wisconsiner and she can be the princess of darkness.

Exactly. I married one too. Though he does love to point this stuff out to me, just to piss me off. I am a flighty, preening, whiner myself; the product of Califloritexas.
