Cool. So there's a lot of eastern people here. I have to admit, I've always been curious about those states but my dad was a Colorado-loving maniac and brought us there every year. I think I will have to take a road trip east!

I forgot to mention I needed a college for myself, but that shouldn't be too hard once I get pointed in a specific direction.

I really do like the country, and owning acres of land would be a plus. I do not want a big house. I grew up in a big house, and it was not necessary. My house now is about 2000 sq ft and I think it could stand to be a little smaller.

So, a small house, under 2000 sq ft, on 3 acres of land, in a place with 4 seasons and cleanness. I am going to start pricing them just to get an idea!

Oh, hey S4T!! I've been ok, just busy remodeling my house so I can sell it and move, lol.

Are any of you vocalists?

by exwitless in

i just posted a little of my singing lesson experience on black pearl's topic about piano lessons.

i was just wondering if anyone else is a vocalist.

have you taken lessons?

Gawd, so many band people here! Cool!

I sing, no formal training, and I am damned good. Used to play guitars with a group of guys, and I was their little songbird, hahaha. Not a band though, cuz no one played drums, lol. I think I came out of the womb singing, ha.

for most of my life i've wanted to learn to play the piano and learn to write music.

my wife got me a yamaha keyboard for christmas.

i am finally happy to report that i have my first lesson tomorrow morning.

What I find to be very helpful is to not think too hard about it. It's worked for me and a few of my friends. When I don't focus too hard on how I am playing, it just happens on its own. With both guitar and piano.

Good luck! Have fun with it and it will come easy!

My family just got back from a trip to Portland and they said it stays grey. I saw the pics of the landscapes and it was pretty, but I need some blue skies :)

FlyingHighNow, I was born and raised here. And no, I don't give off bad vibes. Please don't be offended by anything I say, because I am not being mean, just honest. I am a little hurt that you would judge me as being the type to look down my nose at others, and so it's supposed to be my own fault that I get walked upon. Be advised that is entirely untrue, and I always have the best intentions. My mom is the happiest and most bubbly person in public, and the locals look at her like she is a crazy idiot for smiling. It's heartbreaking to be around so much negativity and the people bring me down. There are 200 frown to every smile. Come down again and see what I mean.

As a naive teenager, who thought that world was full of nice people, and I believed in southern hospitality because I'd heard do much about it, but I quickly learned that a honest smile and holding the door for the people behind me in public will get nothing in return but an ugly attitude, and it never fails. Holding the door has always been a habit of mine because it's rude to let it fall on others, but no one ever holds it for me. Even as a little girl, middle aged men and women would just walk through and not even look at me. I have family in Utah, and they fled this place. They also aknowledge the rudeness of the people here. I wish I would come across nice people every now and then.

They are not patient. Once, there was a flood here, and the rednecks were in big trucks running us in smaller cars off of the road, hanging their heads out and flicking the bird. They are too ugly and rude and I'm sick of it. I am not prejudiced. If I go out today and greet someone with a smile, it will be nice. But it won't happen.

It is not my family, or yours, but they are here and in large numbers. I was ranting, but also being very honest. I'm sorry that your feelings were hurt by what I said, but my feelings get hurt every time I still try to give a stranger a friendly greeting and they roll their eyes at me. In my experience, the people I have met in public from the northwest are the most friendly people on earth. I have never been met with rudeness. Everything is clean and the people just seem so happy. It's like another world.

I have been to the southern eastern states, like Missouri, MS, Alabama, FL. I don't like those either. They are beautiful places, especially parts of FL. But the people and the weather are the same, so I am staying away from those. I've never been to any other eastern states.

My husband will be a registered nurse when we move.

I am taking notes here of all of your suggestions.

I LOVVVVVVEEEEEEE Idaho! Thanks for reminding me! I will write some of your ideas down and maybe PM a few of you. I am still open for more suggestions!

It's nice to here that living in other places is affordable. You wouldn't believe it, but in my particular area, the cost of living is super-high. $100,000 is laughed upon for some weird reason. The grossest place on earth, and nothing under $200,000 is available. $100,000 would get you a nasty fixer uper. I always thought there was something wrong with that. $200,000 will get you a small, but clean home in the country. Want something nicer? Even a spacious one-story in the city limits? Pah, try $350,000! LOL yeah I don't get it either...

All that ice and air looks so refreshing!!!

I wish I could slip on the sidewalk like that, because it would mean that I was OUTSIDE instead of inside, hiding from wasps, mud, rain, heat, and HUMIDITY! lol

Love the pics, I need to go on another ski trip, I need money!

I know this question has been asked before, but I can't find the old post about this. I am looking for another area of the US to move to. Edit: Please be aware, I am ranting right now, but nothing here is exaggerated. It's all very real. I laughed like a mad person while typing because it really helps to get it off my chest how much I hate it here. I think about how much I hate it every day, LOL!

It is HOT (yeah, even in January it is hot), humid, grey, rainy, hurricanes, mud, mold, moss, mildew, tornado killed several people here recently, it floods every week, and the people here are so rude! Every day when I come home from town, I think, "hmmm...I think I told myself "hello", "how are you?", and "have a nice day" at least 6 times, a new record!! Everyone is imbred and trashy, and thinks the world owes them. I am sick of being nice to people who are so very mean in return.

Every city in this state is filthy. The stink is endless. It always either smells like sewage, skunk, garbage, rotting carcasses, suger-mill, paper-mill, sulphur, stagnant crawfish water, manure, gasoline, natural gas---something always stinks. When driving, we are always get to enjoy the suprise of what each area here will bring in the thick, heavy, rotten air through the AC.

Wasps are invading my house and I can't figure out where they are getting in. I've caulked everything here and somehow I can be greeted by a lively wasp in the morning. One time, there were SEVEN of them in the same place at the same time! In my house!!! This has been happening off and on for almost 2 years. I think they get a group together just to torture me. I am scared to death of them! I spray Raid in the house and risk our lives just to kill them.

The crime sucks here. We try to get out as little as possible. Wouldn't want to get mugged while pumping gasoline right?

My life is literally confined to the walls of my house because I hate the weather and the people (and my house is in a mudhole), and then I get to fight with bugs! I have an exterminator, but they do not work with wasps because it's too difficult, so I am screwed.

My husband's trade is monopolized by one of the worst companies in the world. They are all bad, and this one really takes the cake! Cruel and demanding, sucks so much out of employees and gives little in return. It is very top-heavy and I am waiting for it to crumble. No competition makes this possible. They have politicians in their pockets and they use this power to keep other companies out.

I'm in hicksville, and I am ready for a change. We are young, and ready and willing to pack up and flee. Give me your ideas.

I have traveled throughout the entire north/northwest of the US, and I love how clean it is. When we are out of town, the air feels crisp, smells like plain air and not ca ca, and the humidity goes way down. I am a big fan of Colorado. It just smells good!

I haven't been to any of the eastern states though. Can anyone tell me of some nice spots there?

Here's my checklist of what I like:

1. I would like a place with 4 seasons. No 10 month winters or year-round summers. I wish I could see some snow.

2. Low humidity.

3. Clean.

4. Not in a large city. Outskirts, yes. I like privacy.

5. Affordable.

6. Businesses who have competition, so the treat their employees with dignity in order to keep them from quitting.

7. People who will return your "hello" without rolling their eyes.

8. No hoods!

9. Dirt and grass, instead of mud!

10. NOT rainy, I'll take snow over rain any day. They both get old, but at least you can play with snow

I know I am asking too much, but If we can just get half of that in a new location, it would be worth it. I am really interested in Colorado and California, but those states have a lot of very different climates within themselves, and I'm just not sure where to start looking. I know Cali is expensive, so I've written it off for now.

We need to get out of here, help me out and lend your knowledge Anyone wanna trade houses? I couldn't do that to any of you because this area is about to fall off into the gulf, and I wish this on no one.
