Title: What state should you live in?
Post by: CG6468 on February 10, 2012, 03:13:19 PM
Not enough specifics (http://www.blogthings.com/whatstateshouldyouliveinquiz/)

Mine all came out as states in the south, but neither my wife nor I can tolerate the long, hot, HUMID summers.

Kansas?  

Maybe a little.  But it lacks big country and cattle.  Or, the cattle don't outnumber the humans by a high enough ratio.  And trout, elk, antelope, moose, wind, sagebrush, gumbo mud, the northern lights?  I'm thinking not.

That quiz is stupid.  They said I should live in Alaska, even though I like snow only "sometimes."  Other states:

Quote
Kansas
Mississippi
Vermont
Virginia
Washington

The same Kansas that voted for Sebellius to be their governor?  Vermont, when I said I was very conservative?  Now Virginia, I've been eyeing.

I got Kansas.

Don't mistake what I say, but while Kansas is fine and dandy with me, Kansas is not Nebraska.

The other five suggestions:

Kentucky
Mississippi
North Carolina
Oklahoma
South Carolina

It says I should live in North Carolina...well, the SC/NC state line is about 15 miles north as the crow flies.

Then I get....

Virginia
Alaska
Delaware
Indiana
Maryland

...Virginia maybe but the rest, no to hell no.

I should live in Alaska ??

Funny how I don't much care for temperatures where one has to wear more than a t-shirt (optional) and shorts in mid-winter.

I'd rather go for one of the alternate suggestions of Texas, Alabama or Mississippi.

If the mosquitos don't chase you out of Alaska, the football-sized cow pies bear tracks definitely will.  I woke up early one morning to take a whizz outside of our tent and encountered the biggest pile of poo I've ever seen.

Trying to run and pee at the same time didn't work out too well (I was trying to outrun the mosquitos).

Oh the skeeters wouldn't bother me so much - I'm pretty used to them. Have had to do the run-and-pee thing though. That's the one part of the body that's really unsuited to being liberally coated in DEET.

Bears on the other hand.... nawthanks.

We might have 16+ foot carnivorous geckos about these parts but they generally won't bother attacking you unless you pretty much flop yourself down into their dinner bowl.

Chris--come on up here sometime.  The mosquitos up here have landing lights.

And if this state weren't such a soup sandwich sometimes from the liberal dipshits invading from flatlandville, I'd seriously consider retiring in the North Country.  2 BR, 2BA cabin on 5 acres within spitting distance of snowmobile trails and the lake for $140K.  Yeah, I can deal.

And really, as longview can attest, if you don't like people, MT and WY are also excellent choices, when "major" towns are 5000 people.

Hell, I don't even think Cheyenne has cracked 100K yet.  When I lived in Gillette during the first boom in the early 80's, I think it was 15K at the time.  Not sure where it is now, but it's up there as far as size within the state.

No snowmobile trails but you could get 100 acres in the most rural part of the county and a cabin a few miles from a great lake for that here.

A lot on the lake however would be about that price....minus the cabin.

As a matter of fact, I'm researching likely retirement states. While we'd planned on retiring in Tennessee (and still may), the incredibly high sales tax takes some examination. Yeah, they don't have an income tax, but many states I've been looking at exempt (at least partially) retirement income/annuities.

Georgia is looking very interesting.

We're also looking at Oxford, MS. That's right, I said "Mississippi." The cost of living there is extremely low -- lower than AL, TN, and Georgia -- but the musical opportunities there are limited as well. I have an email into a guy who teaches at Ole Miss - I happened to study trombone with him when we lived in Jackson, TN. I want to hear what he has to say about the brass-playing population there.

It's a numbers game more than anything. AND, I do NOT want any part of extreme cold weather any more. Every year that goes by I get less and less tolerant of snow, ice, sleet, and the rest of that shit.

I also don't want to be paying ludicrous sales tax rates (Jackson, at 9.75%, is one of the highest in TN -- Knoxville and Chattanooga are relatively "low" at 9.25%) -- ridiculous when you have to pay the state that much money for the privilege of buying something there.

Mike, if that computer program told me I'd want to live in Michigan, I'd be slitting my wrists about now. But take heart -- there are parts of Michigan that are relatively sane and tolerable (as long as you're a winter aficionado). I simply had never lived in any of them. And I damn sure am not interested in lake effect snow, ice, etc. (see the post above).

Hmmm. Mississippi Music appears to be a chain music store, with branches in Hattiesburg, Jackson/Flowood, Meridian, and Biloxi.

Those are all locations a bit too far south for where we might wind up. And, I suspect, the closer you get to Louisiana, the more brass playing you'll find. One thing I learned about Oxford was the sheer amount of Zydeco, Blues, Dixieland, and, of course Bluegrass (though Bluegrass ain't necessarily LA-based!)

It's early in the game yet. Hell, as far as I know right now, we might wind up in freakin' Bangkok.  :banghead:

Kansas? 

Maybe a little.  But it lacks big country and cattle.  Or, the cattle don't outnumber the humans by a high enough ratio.  And trout, elk, antelope, moose, wind, sagebrush, gumbo mud, the northern lights?  I'm thinking not.

You live in Idaho Long?

I was born in Kansas, worked their for a while when I was a youngster. I operated a pellet mill for about 6 months and worked my uncles farm for a few years. The pellet mill was 9 miles away, and I could see the SOB from my front porch!

I moved to Denver! Denver was too crowded, so, I moved to Califorinca. That place is a shithole! So, I moved to Oregon. It was fine for a while, but the frikkin liberals took it over too!

I ended up here in Idaho, about 40 miles from the Canuck border. Been here since about '83 I think. I'm gettin' old and senile, so I could be off a coupla years.

This is truly God's country, and I will never leave it! 4 seasons, huntrin', fishin', and people who think like I do.

Besides, I am takin' care of 22 horses and mules, about 30 calves every spring, and about 80 acres of hay. Couldn't leave now if I wanted to.

I got Hawaii. I really should live there. I think I left my heart there and I should go back and get it.
BTW, this is my first post. Hi from North Dakota.

How come I didn't get Hawaii?  I said I didn't like snow.

I haven't seen Tennessee on this list once. 

Maybe that's a good thing.

Frickin' sales taxes are too high. And the property taxes are getting to be ridiculous as well (though where I'm living now is entirely too much).

Aw, hell. I just hate payin' taxes. Period.  :mad:

We have a Republican governor now... maybe he'll do something about that since the state is taking in more money than it spends.

I got Georgia.

I'm quite fine with Kansas though. Born and raised right here in Wichita. I don't live in Wichita though. Just work.

Grrrr! That movie isn't a very good representation of Wichita. I love the movie though. I'm a good sport like that. :)

Dang, took the test and it came back Arkansas, which is fine, but then I got sidetracked into taking one quiz after another for the next hour. :thatsright:
