Very funny and so true.

I am going back south.

I think I would like a RV and just move around.

Thanks for the morning laugh. These are so true. I am not sure were I will be living after I retire. I have only lived in the northwest so I think that I will most likely to stay here.

Gotta go with California. Maybe San Deigo - there is probably no place with better temperature in the US.

I don't ever want to retire, but I want to stay in Atlanta !

Wis I had stayed in Georgia. I am so very home sick.

I don't have a double name, but the south suits me fine. 

Too funny, I've experienced two of these states, Ca born raised,  about 3 years ago decided this is enough, sold everything and moved to Arizona. Now enjoying the rocks!!!!

all of y'all is the plural

That was way too funny.  I needed that....:)

I agree with maybe, I have lived in the north and I will take the coast of South Carolina any day.  Charleston is a beautiful city, hot in the summer, and as far as hurricanes at least we get plenty of warning and can get out of town, and they help you clean out all your junk as long as they are not above a cat 3.  Then that is another story and can be devastating.

LMAO!  That was so funny.  I needed that after the night I had at work.  Thanks CD.  All very true.  Live in OHIO and this is the only places I have ever lived that the weather changes on a dime. 

Ginny,

TOO FUNNY!!!  I LOL'd!  *(That's plural for LOL.)  lol  hehe

California native here, 3rd generation, I adore our perfect weather!!  There is no other state like it in that sense.  I've lived in Hawaii, and Taiwan, visited New York, New Jersey, Arizona, (omg it was SO HOT), Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Nevada, Texas, New Mexico.  And that wasn't driving across the states, just all different times, and some for business in the old days of being a Makeup Artist, and Esthetician.

There were parts I picked out from each place that impressed me most about the state, and it all rolled into one state, except for the COL!  Cost of Living.  Guess which one....yep, right here where I was born.  An actual Orange County beach girl.  Laguna Beach, all the places they have (or had)? those silly reality shows making a statement on what some people are like in the OC.  Know what?  There are  those people.  (And every state has them, just the real estate is out of control here)!  The families that have homes passed down in the family, that are right on the ocean in Newport.  Those that make a great income live in those seaside homes, like the picture I have of Laguna Beach on my profile.  I've known many who lived in them, and gone to a lot of parties in those kind of homes over the years.  And yes, I do remember some of them!   

My mom hung out with the guy who played 'Mannix', (yes we are showing our age here Shauna), but if you remember him you will remember Richard Jannsen too.  They had a little sub-Rat Pack going on then at the beach.  We had a house in Laguna with an actual stage in it, as it had been an old playhouse!  There are pictures of all the beautifully dressed women, and men in suits, for a New Year's party my mom and dad threw.  I remember that party so strong--Me and my brothers and sister snuck out of course, in our jammies, there were actually 4 little faces stacked up at the door, dreaming what it would be like to be sipping an Old Fashioned or a Gin Martini, wearing the red red lipstick, the Marylin Monroe style of dress)  Anywhooooooooo........diverted there a bit--my apologies! 

btw, I've been thinking about a move up North a bit, to Oregon, which has no state tax.  And doesn't Arizona or certain areas in it do the same?  Anyone know of other states that have a nice perk? 

Again, Ginny, thanks for the great laugh!!  OUT LOUD!
