ok, ok, ok! i've only seen texas from the inside of an airport, but i guess i'm outvoted toady! maybe we should ALL live in texas?
the winters here arent so bad, and not as long as wisconson or montana or michigan, where ever you guys said. and sorry, i kinda like to shovel. and it is sooo peaceful during and after a snow here. i am far away enough from the city to enjoy it. we just stare out the back window.....
yesterday we got up to 52. the crocus's are blooming and today i saw a robin & a groundhog. we take what we can get. at least it isnt CALIFORNIA!

We had rollling blackouts up here in Northern California yesterday too, which I think is B.S. I love it up here and plan to stay. Centrally located between the Bay Area and Reno and Tahoe, you cannot beat having mountains and the Bay Area. Too many people because California is a desirable place to live. The population tells the story.

Ok, I have to put my 2 cents in. I have lived in PA, in Texas, in Belize and even in Haiti-talk about black outs-how about coups, poverty, hurricanes, disease... And you know what, I am so glad I lived in all those places. They each had their positives and negatives. Isn't life what we make of it no matter where we live? My motto was when I got tired of a place and started to feel like I was in a rut, I moved on, and I am so thankful that is how I've lived my life.

Karen! I totally agree with you and I have been doing the moving thing as well. From Germany to California because I love the Beach and Sun and hubby is from here. First things where fun but after 10 years in this rat race it is not fun anymore. When you start to get a little older (I am 34 and hubby is 42) you start knowing what you want from life and California will never offer what we consider more relaxed lifestyle in a tropical place. I know what I don't like and that is bad weather most of the year like in Germany and stress and peopel around me that only care how big your house is and how much money you make. We could care less how much materialistic stuff someone has and will never give into this keeping up with the Joneses thing. It is time for a serious lifestyle change before we waisted to much of our life with this.

Jane! I do know that most other States in the US are less expensive and some even more laid back and less crowded. And many very beautiful States. Munich was a great place to grow up and live but I hated the weather and being away from the Ocean so much. I could never live with weather like that again after California.
