I use to call it the armpit of america, but I stopped when my husband wondered, 'if ohio is the armpit, what is our current home (north carolina)?'<br /><br />our first year here, I made 2 big trays of buckeyes for his work party, and now he's not allowed to show up without them! my grandmother used paraffin, but I never have.
