Happys States, Sad States (Page 2)

You take the good

You take the bad

You take them both

And there you have...

The facts of life

No please stop I don't need any more useless things in my head thanks!

Texas happiness varies dramatically between the seasons.  There’s Texas State Fair season, in which Texans stuff their gullets with fried butter, fried beer, fried chicken skin, and fried bacon cinnamon rolls while living in a state of perpetual, sugar-induced ecstasy.  And there’s the other 11 months of the year, where Texans sadly roll their rascals through Walmart, try to read the Spanish menu at McDonald's, and say through clenched teeth “maybe this will be the year Romo doesn’t blow it”.  

I was pretty happy in Colorado and want to move back every single day.  That ain't no lie neither.

Texas should be last on the list...its the most depressing state ever.  If you're a Yankee or from California there is no way you would want to move here.

Exactly.. I'm not sure people like "on fire" life.  Then again, it wouldn't surprise me.

I know I used to like living in cities but I have changed I love rural areas now. 

Political climate has an influence as well.  There are parts of California which would be perfect (for me) if not for politicians.

I lived in the Bay area for a while, little gated community near Dublin. We were probably the only Republican enclave within 100 miles. Favorite places I ever lived was Ann Arbor, Michigan and Philly. Worst was Wilmington, DE.

Glad to see Idaho right in the middle. Might keep people from moving here and screwing it up!

PA is at least four to six different regions that could each be their own state.

if one can get past the horrific taxes and politics (which we seem to have done, at least sufficiently enough to stay) there's not a better place to live than Northern California.......

30 minutes from the beach; 20 minutes from the big city; 50 minutes from all the tourist draws and natural beauty of SF; 5 minutes from a nice lake (or 3); 100s of miles of good bike/run routes - with enough hills to mimic ANY race you'd like to attempt - right out your front door - no car involved!   Hot day is 90; Cold day is 50.  Snow almost non-existant, rain pretty rare. Hundreds of wineries, breweries, michelin-starred restaurants and amazing dives - impossible to run out of new ones to try!

Add in the Forty-Niners, Raiders, Giants, A's and Sharks, we are the Golden State.

Pretty happy here in California......
