We love it here... people are so much nicer than in Florida, and you don't have to speak Spanish.
Rocky Top bitchez! Paul what are you up to tomorrow?
Hey Paul,
Trying to wake up and shower....we should be leaving sometime soon. :p
Oh, I can agree with that. People here are nicer than the people in Jersey.Quote:

TN has Paul, Wayne, Coop, Justin, Sean, us, and more....
Where I was in Florida, when you went to McDonald they would ask for your order in Spanish first, you had to tell them you only spoke English. I'm not trying to discriminate or anything. Hell, I can't understand some TN folks because they have that "country twang".
And I can't even tell you what they spoke in Milledgeville, GA.. Yes I spent some time there too, and not in the prisons :lol:
maybe in miami. there are parts of florida which aren't "infected" with the "let's cater to the immigrants" mentality. and yes, i have a harder time of understanding people in GA than i did in FL.
p.s.
florida also has enollava, es3000tt, digimandan, mastrhu, etc. florida has the record for awd conversions currently. ;)
I can only speak from prior experiences.. but.. Tennessee has too many letters and a shitload of cockroaches.
I moved my cousins from TN to WI about 12 years ago. Their house in TN was ready to be lit on fire. Sooooo many bugs, I couldn't believe it. The hotel I stayed in wasn't much better (and it was a national chain.) You NEED a decent winter to kill unwanted pests.
I've also lived in southern GA while working in GA & FL. I was far from impressed from either state. I could go on for days about this... I'll stop here.
Cape Coral actually, on the other side...Quote:

good point. $10 to whomever gets LW to move to TN. :)
I've determined that when I can finally removed myself from AZ, I'll be going to somewhere in TN. It's much more my style of a place to live.
With or without the gf?Quote:

Like I tell people who ask why I moved to TN from SW FL... Florida is nice to visit for short periods of time, but sucks to live there IMO. Eventually you get bored of going to the beach, fishing, golfing, boating, and all the other "fun" stuff to do in Florida. Then your property taxes go up while your home value goes down. Then a hurricane comes through and you cannot get insurance on a house. You spend a fortune for landscaping and nice grass to only have the city tell you "you cannot water it because of water restrictions". And worst of all, you spend $300K+ for a nice house in a gated community where you can literally spit on your neighbors house, and all the houses look the same. You want to put in a walkway to your front door, you need to pull a permit first. You want to put up a fence, you need a permit.Quote:

And people around my area are just nice good people. They actually wave, instead of giving you the middle finger when you drive by (known as the florida wave).
that's the california/jersey wave. don't even be putting that on floridians.Quote:

He thought this odd, asked the preacher about it and the preacher confirmed .. "Yes, that's what it takes to have a direct line with the Lord.
The journalist's travels took him all over the U.S., he visited many country churches along the way.
Sure enough, many of them had the same golden phone, and the same sign "Talk to God ... $10,000."
Eventually, his travels brought him to northeast Tennessee.
Again, he's in a country church, but as he's leaving he notices once again .. that same golden phone.
But this time, instead of the sign requiring $10,000, it only asks for 5 cents.
He's most puzzled, and asks the preacher about this, explaining about all of the other churches he'd visited, the call required $10,000.
The preached explained to him .. "Son, thats a local call here, you're in God's country."
Thank you for everything yesterday. You and your wife are good people and I LOVE your kids. :)Quote:

LOL - with the gf. :) Quite possibly the wife before then. We're finally getting into a groove here, but the people here are too damned self centered and ignorant for me to want to stay here permanently. We're staying long enough to have a decent amount of funds in the bank so that I don't have to worry about getting back to work immediately. Hoping I can stay with my current employer, and just take a leave of absence for a month so I don't feel rushed and get myself situated once I decide to pack up again. This is a long-term goal.Quote:

My Focus has lost all it's resale from the scratches and dings I've got from the parking lot here. So I need to get into a decent house where I can work on my cars and not worry about how many new dents I'll have the next morning.
I always wake up real early but lay back down. I think I got up the last time right when you guys were leaving.Quote:
