In2why Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Quite right :) We just pretend the creatures aren't there. Including the snake that struck my son's shoe while he was riding his bike :eek: But don't forget, you will get a slightly warped view of any country if you only get your info from the media. For a while, my children were adamant they would never live in the US because "everybody has guns and we'll get shot the minute we get there" :D Only if you fly into Miami or Detroit. (just kidding if you are from there) I can't live anywhere that has below freezing temps for more than a couple of days a year. Or the snow lasts more than a couple of days.

In2why Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 (shuffling feet and looking down a little sheepishly) Well then, I NEVER want to live in Hawaii or New Zealand. (Just don't go read the thread about where one dreams of living...) My oldest son is working in Hawaii for 6 months and he told me that he was tired of the hotel they put him in and was looking at a house. It has 10' waves in the back and a mountain view in the front yard....BUT he isn't sure he wants to live there because it is a bad neighborhood. I fell out laughing about a place where apparently even the slums are waterfront with gorgeous views. Tough life my kiddo is living right now as we freeze.

Lilymax Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Georgia (also partly raised there and family still lives there; uneducated bigoted racist "Christian" hypocrites, lack of diversity, red clay, you couldn't PAY me to move back!) Well, we aren't ALL bigoted, racist "Christian" hypocrites... ;) Nor uneducated, thankyouverymuch! There's definitely diversity here, but admittedly, it's in pockets, not quite the melting pot feeling you get in say, San Francisco or NYC. Personally I despise the black/white racial tension that still exists over Atlanta. It's just ridiculous here. And red clay is some wicked stuff, but thankfully, it's not everywhere. We have lovely sandy soil in our backyard now. Not trying to sell anyone on Georgia, but there are lots of things to love here, too. My favorite is four distinct seasons, without a terribly harsh winter. Summers, though, I could totally do without! They're brutal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then, the main thing stopping us (besides the cost of living) is that it's so far away from everyone (family) and everything (other parts of the world). Both hubby's and my family are getting a bit older. If/when they pass on, there might not be much stopping us. Oh, and I need to get my younger two boys in college - from here - where the college visits are less expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeBookBread Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Deep, deep south...like Montgomery, Alabama.

That said, southern Illinois & Kansas are two of my least favorite places (really most of the Midwest). Not sure I would be happy in the deep jungle areas of the world, or any places that were really cold for more than a few months.

But I can't help wonder if you don't like real Korean food or the Americanized version of it. Maybe you don't like veggies?? I could never do South Carolina or anyplace south like that. I used to stay will my elderly aunt in the summers and grocery shopping was one of my chores. I'm from the north so I was not prepared for the checkout clerks who who wanted to discuss every.single.item. "Whatcha ya'll gonna make with his? I like the other brand better. You know, I once opened a can of peas and found a rat in it. Well, I don't git that brand no more! But I see you do. You might change your mind if you find a rat. Oh dear. I see it's that time of the month for you. Did I ever tell you about my Grammy Cecelia? Yep. She went bonkers and shot her chicken one day when Grampy wouldn't get her some ice." Grocery shopping took me half an hour. Checking out took me an hour at least. And it was the same everywhere!!! Gas stations, restaurants, doctor's offices. Southerners are very kind.

I think most really smal towns are that way...and Aunts. I visited my Aunt and she asked me to go to the grocery store, but instead of paying for her items I was to tell the checkout clerk her name. HUH? They still do groceries on "account" and have a ledger so that when they get their checks the people come in and pay their bill. I asked how they would know I wasn't stealing it since I wasn't her. She thought I was the crazy one, and said why would anyone want to steal her groceries. Of course I am prepared to pay for the items, as I know the clerks are not going to give them to me, but they did. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have mentioned that anyone on a Classical Education site couldn't possibly be one of the people I mentioned ;) I lived in Riverdale, Jonesboro, and Stockbridge before moving up to Lumpkin County, in the N. Georgia mountains. (UGH. Where's the Puke emoticon?) The first three weren't THAT bad, but once we got to the mountains.... it COMPLETELY turned me against Georgia. I attended middle and high school there and got out as soon as I could. I did ONE year at Georgia State in Atlanta and then joined the Army to GET. OUT. I hope my mom and sisters move at some point so I never have to go back and visit :-/ A lot of people say that it "isn't that bad" and "I didn't have that experience". Well, if you are a White, church attending Christian then you probably won't. Date a black man and watch those friendly, "hospitable", upstanding Christians turn into pitch fork carrying fire spitting demons in the blink of an eye.

HSMom2One Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) I can't live anywhere that has below freezing temps for more than a couple of days a year. Or the snow lasts more than a couple of days. Then you should move to Oregon! We get snow once or twice a year, and it never lasts more than a week -- usually 3-5 days tops. Yes, it does rain, but that's why it is so green and beautiful. Contrary to stereotypical views about Oregon and parts of Washington state, it doesn't rain here every.single.day. I've been here all my life and it honestly rains about 5 months out of 12, and that is combined with alternating sunny days and various other normal weather conditions. It's hard on most transplanted Californians to adjust, but most of us that have been here a long time don't know any better and we just don't think about it. :D Blessings, Lucinda Edited February 21, 2011 by HSMom2One Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very similar thing happened here a few years ago. Young people were playing in the shallows on the edge of the Meramec River and ended up drowning. It is so tragic, truly, but I just can't wrap my head around the fact that people risk going into the water at all when they can't swim. Or why their parents let them, I guess. They have no idea what the terrain is like under the surface. Oh, my. Too horrifying for words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
