Some of us just can't pick up and leave, even though we'd like to. There are plenty of fine, right thinking citizens up here. Just not enough.

I'm with you Sam. Though I don't live in Taxachusetts, I live in a state what's even worse.

Merryland!

Let's see, we have the Santa haters and don't forget that little matter of smoking in your own home. Then there's Kathleen Kennedy Townsend (see? they're EVERYWHERE) who's about to be our Governor. This woman is the absolute dimmest bulb in any lamp. Then there's Glendenning ....

Husband and I are packing up and moving as soon as we can. Serious. And I've lived here all my life. Guess where husband is from? Massachusetts!

Maybe someday all conservative people will leave the awful states thrust upon them through no fault of their own. That'd get their attention.

But...no lie...we're selling our house and moving because it's worse than living in hell.

I can sympathize with your Maryland affliction. My sister in law lived there for almost 10 years and was miserable. She recently moved back here with family in Massatuskey.
She has a condition known as RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrohpy) and went to Johns Hopkins for treatment for 3 years and they were abysmal! She is currently getting treatment at Brigham and Womens in Boston and is receiving much better care.
I went down there to help her pack up and move and I couldn't get out of there fast enough.

I lived in Maryland when I was a teen...Hell is an apt description. If you can take the humidity, South Carolina is real nice. Since I can't take the heat, I had to settle for the mountains of east Tennessee...but I visit South Carolina as OFTEN as I can. Parts of Idaho and Utah are also very nice.

I know what you mean. At least Hell is warm during the winter!
