So I just admitted to myself that….

**Update**

So I found this place online Find Your Spot.com
It has a little quiz and matches your answers to cities in the US and gives you the closest results...

Here's what I've got:
Alexandria, Louisiana
Providence, Rhode Island
Worcester, Massachusetts
Champaign-Urbana, Illinois
New Haven, Connecticut
Cambridge, Massachusetts
Stamford-Norwalk, Connecticut
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Monroe, Louisiana
Boston, Massachusetts
Lafayette (Cajun Country), Louisiana
Hartford, Connecticut
Madison, Wisconsin
New Orleans, Louisiana (too many people though)
Kenosha, Wisconsin
Eau Claire, Wisconsin
Chicago, Illinois
Annapolis, Maryland
Houma, Louisiana

And they all have little saying right next to them llike " Sailing Capital of the World' or " Clear Water, Clean Living"



This is going to take some time.....

lost: Have you thought about the midwest? Kansas City?
There really is a Kansas? I thought that was just a story made up by MGM.

Yeah, but the real Kansas City is in Missouri.

If the ocean and beach play any part in your life at all, you're going to miss it. I've been away from the coast for fifteen years, and still haven't found a way to orient myself in the same way that I was able to when I always had some idea which direction the Atlantic Ocean was.

And it was on my "maybe" pile. I'm almost afraid to ask....

Hey, I used to live in Southern California for over 20 years and I up and moved to Hawaii several months ago because I needed a change and was bored. Honolulu is similar to San Diego, except it's a little warmer, not colder. There is a lot of water sports out here of course and if you like tan men, this is the place. I'm tanned by the way. hehe.

To tell you the truth, I miss San Diego already and I will be moving back next year. I am only in Hawaii for a year sabbatical anyway. I am having a blast out here, don't get me wrong. But I realize I am a Southern CA type of dude.

Just wanted to put in my 2 cents worth. Good luck wherever you go!

~ Diary of a Mad Shoveler or A Texan Moves to Wisconsin ~

December 8: 6:00 P.M. It started to snow The first snowfall
of the season. The wife and I took our cocktails and sat for
hours by the window watching the huge snowflakes drift down
from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses print. So romantic.
We felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!

December 9: We awoke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white
snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic
sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the whole world?
Moving here was the best idea I have ever had! Shoveled for
the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both
our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplow
came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the
driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life!

December 12: The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a
disappointment. My neighbor tells me not to worry. We will
definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would
be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter,
that I'll never want to see snow again. I don't think that is
possible. Bob is such a nice man. I'm glad he's our neighbor.

December 14: Snow, lovely snow! Eight degrees last night.
The temperature dropped to minus twenty. The cold makes
everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I
warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is
the life! The snowplow came back in the afternoon and buried
everything again. I didn't realize that I would have to do
quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in
shape this way. I wish I wouldn't huff and puff so much.

December 15: 20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a
4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and two extra
snow shovels. Stocked the freezer too. The wife wants a wood
stove in case the electricity goes out. I think she is silly.
After all, we aren't in Alaska.

December 16: Ice storm this morning. Fell on my rear on the
ice in the driveway while I was trying to put down salt. Hurt
like hell. The wife laughed for an hour. I think she's very cruel.

December 17: Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go
anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the
blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and
try not to irritate her. I guess I should have bought a wood stove,
but I won't admit that to her. God, I hate it when she is right.
Can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room.

December 20: Electricity's back on, but had another 14" of the
damn stuff last night. More shoveling. Took all day. Damn
snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel,
but they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they are
lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying
a snow blower and they're out. Might have another shipment in March.
I think they're lying. Bob says I will have to shovel or the city
will bill me. I think he's lying.

December 22: Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13
more inches of the white stuff fell today, and it's so cold it
probably won't melt until August. Took me 45 minutes to get all
dressed to go out to shovel and then I had to pee. By the time
I got undressed, peed and dressed again, I was too tired to shovel.
I tried to hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of
the winter, but he says he's too busy. I think he's lying.

December 23: Only 2" of snow today. And, it warmed up to 0.
The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning.
What is she.....nuts??? Why didn't she tell me to do that a month
ago. She said she did, but I think she's lying.

December 24: 6". Snow packed so hard by the snowplow, I broke
the shovel. I though I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch
the SOB who drives that snowplow, I'll drag him through the snow
by his family jewels. I know he hides around the corner and waits
for me to finish shoveling and than he comes down the street at a
100 miles and hour and throws snow all over where I have just been!
Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas Carols with her and
open our presents, but I was busy watching for the darn snowplow.

December 25: Merry Christmas! 20 more inches of the darned slop
tonight. Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil.
God, I hate the snow. Then, the snowplow driver came by and asked
for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife
says I have bad attitude. I think she's an idiot. If I have to
watch "It's A Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to kill her.

December 26: Still snowed in. Why the heck did I ever move here?
It was all her idea. She's really getting on my nerves.

December 27: Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze.

December 28: Warmed up to above-50. Still snowed in. The wife is
driving me crazy!!!!!

December 29: 10 more inches of snow. Bob says I have to shovel the
roof or it will collapse. That's the silliest thing I have ever heard.
How dumb does he think I am?????

December 30: Roof caved in. The snowplow driver is suing me for a
million dollars for the bump on his head. The wife went home to
her mother. 9" predicted.

December 31: Set fire to what was left of the house. No more
shoveling.

Then you only really have to look at three...

Canada

BC has really mild winters, yet it's cooler than Cali... and there's lots of nature, and some great culture up here...

And I'm here...

Never been to BC, or Canado for that matter, but I really want to now! You talked me into it

Re: Re: New York

You forgot to mention that she'll be paying $2000 a month for an apartment the size of my walk-in closet. Other than that, I agree with you. I love New York and if money were no object, I'd probably move there too.

J.B., I moved from California to Connecticut two years ago. The winter nearly killed me, I swear. I had no idea how bitter cold could be. We CA natives are spoiled indeed.

Reno is a nice city. Four seasons, but realatively mild compared to the east. San Francisco is 4 hours away, L.A. 8.

Where in Connecticut did you move? I live here too. Last winter got to you? It was very mild I thought....I think its gonna be a snowy one this year.

 

[CoeyCoey]

Moving

I used to live in Temecula, now Michigan, but moving to Indianapolis very soon. I will saw that people in the midwest are more friendly then in Cali.

When I open my business in the USVI, I will also have a home in Aspen Colorado for weekend getaways.

Don't laugh! It could happen!
