Ontario Canada. Nothing Cool. Winters Here Suck. Speaking of winter, out here it gets way below 0 in winter, and in places like florida it is nice and warm. I went with my dad to florida during the winter, and everyone was wearing heavy winter coats while my family looked liked we just came from the beach, wearing our sandles, shorts, sleaveless T's, glasses and hats. People came up to us all day asking us how we could wear what we were, asking us how come we werent freezing our asses off and calling us nut bars :*)) Send a few people from florida to ontario canada, and when they go back home, they will ask their selves, "Why the hell did we waste our money on these sweatbags?" :*))

Ben, are you anywhere near Koblenz ? My grandfather lived there for a while.

Bonn has to be nicer than Jersey. Any place is nicer than Jersey. :Xo!
I bet you're thinking, "so what's wrong with New Jersey?"
"A recent poll found 28 percent of people wanting to leave NJ citing America's highest property taxes as the leading reason; 19 percent mentioned the state's generally high cost-of-living, with 6 percent citing housing costs and 5 percent citing state taxes.
Other top reasons for wanting to leave New Jersey include the weather, environment, longing for a change of scenery, overdevelopment, congestion and government corruption.
Half of those wanting to leave want to move to the Southeast, with Florida and North Carolina the most popular choices, the poll found."
-
Hi RodgerDodger,
I hope the Casserole was not to bad ;-) (I read about that in another post yesterday)
Oh!
Bonn is also not the ceapest City (the City is kinda interessting, a lot of Traffic Jam, though).
The rents for a Flat are very high, as the whole life in Germany got
very expensive. For Example the Prices for Gasoline. ATM it's 6.6 Dollar per Gallon. That hurts a lot.

I was born in Moscow Russia and lived there for the first 5 or 6 years of my life. After that my family moved to Spokane Washington (big city on the east side of the state by Idaho)lived there til I was 12 then we moved to a little podunk town called Deer Park. I have been here ever since and its nice but its getting to crowded, the town has one African American family, lots of Mexicans working the farms in the area, some legal some not. I would love to move to Arkansas or Lousiana, some place warm. Last year we had a high of 119 in the summer then this winter we had a low of -20 so we get the extremes here.

Jersey is a fine state. The only bad part part of Jersey is the Turnpike that leads out of NYC.
-
New Jersey is the most populated state in the union so I guess it can't be that bad. The grass is always greener but than you find out that it's not.

You're forgetting about the overcrowding, high car insurance rates and confiscatory property taxes.
-

There's definitely some truth in that statement. My friend moved to Florida six months ago -- took a job there making more money and was all excited about the lower real estate prices and lower cost of living in general. Lately he's been complaining that things aren't so cheap down there after all.
That being said, there's room for a lot of improvement in the Garden State.
-
Well you have to specify which state you are talking about. North Jersey or South Jersey. Two different states....LOL

Spent a lot of time in Long Island New York - with family growing up.

Jersey has high property taxes, but you don't pay any state income tax. Just rent, and you'll be good.

Nice man! There are a few folk from Florida here...Sounds so warm, sunny, an awesome holiday destination? and so friendly...
Is there any significant difference between "North" Florida and South Florida?
-
Aside from my two deployments, and a brief stint with Mom in the S.F. Bay Area, I've mostly lived in SE La. Native of New Orleans, but due to a hurricane that shall not be named and loss of employment, now living near Baton Rouge (found a better civilian job).
@Waine- I may be wrong here, but I think "North Florida" refers to the Panhandle and "South Florida" refers to the peninsula(the area surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic). Oddly enough, the western part of the panhandle falls in a different time zone from the rest of the state.
-
Hmm, interesting Sir Harry.
-
South Florida is hotter and more humid.
-
South, North or West Florida it's all hotter than 400 hells in the summer and as humid as, The Sir Harry Bayou.

Raised in Pittsburgh, PA. Nice to no longer live there. Hay fever and allergies drove me nuts. Cant' breath most of the summer and fall. Now that I don't live there any more allergies seem to be mostly gone. Guess what I'm allergic to is only in West VA, and Western PA etc. (well, Ohio and Michigan, too).
Allergies did not bother me in Alaska where I lived 23 years, nor here in North Carolina. Nice to be able to breath all year round through the nose.

I don't know what leffsa is (probably something Norwegian), but lutfisk is pretty good - try it with horseradish cream!

Lutfisk is one part of the Scandanavian heritage that made it to the States--mainly in Minnesota and vicinity. It's the subject of many, many jokes among people of Scandanavian decent here. I was raised with it and I do like it, but when my wife and kids tried it--they did taste a fork full--they ordered pizza. I think you have to be born with a special gene to appreciate lutfisk--it's a taste that can't be acquired. Never had it with horseradish cream, but I've had it with white sauce and also done in the oven with brown butter--prefer the white sauce. Lefsa is norske-sort of a Norwegian tortilla made with potatoes, served with butter and jam.

Oh yes, my brothers said it was rotten fish, it is cod soaked in Lye, Rince it off and always cook it in a cotton pillow case boil yah sure. Melt the butter , make the tators mashed (with chunks) can't get a better meal.

In what way is it a joke? Is it known like surströmming (bad tasting or smelling?). Only some people in Sweden eat lutfisk, often at Christmas eve they do it out of tradition. Well, I do it too! O0
But as you said, I think you have to appreciate natural flavors in order to like it. A pizza is way more easy to eat to some people.

Well this will give you an idea--they spell it Norge style--lutefisk.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EGW6oHdFjU&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7X6Z_SV-Pc&feature=related
And there's loads more--but I like it too, it just a reminder of Christmas at home.
Now surströmming that's really strong--and it's rare these days. I've had it, but I don't even know if you can buy it outside of Minnesota, and I'm not sure they even have it.

Well this will give you an idea--they spell it Norge style--lutefisk.

And there's loads more--but I like it too, it just a reminder of Christmas at home.
Now surströmming that's really strong--and it's rare these days. I've had it, but I don't even know if you can buy it outside of Minnesota, and I'm not sure they even have it.
;)Tuk Scal do Ha! Sorry spelling may be off, but I like my lutefisk, with alot of melted butter and mashed tator's !
Tuc Scal do Ha ! ;D

God dag Darre!
Sweden is a great country, made a canoe tour close to Älmhult / Möckeln couple of years ago.
God dag / Good day Ben!
Never been to Älmhult, but I'm sure it's a great place! Probalby in the south of Sweden.

Aside from my two deployments, and a brief stint with Mom in the S.F. Bay Area, I've mostly lived in SE La. Native of New Orleans, but due to a hurricane that shall not be named and loss of employment, now living near Baton Rouge (found a better civilian job).
@Waine- I may be wrong here, but I think "North Florida" refers to the Panhandle and "South Florida" refers to the peninsula(the area surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic). Oddly enough, the western part of the panhandle falls in a different time zone from the rest of the state.
Thank you for your service SirHarry!

Born in Bridgeport, Connecticut but have lived most of my life in New Jersey, just ten minutes from midtown Manhattan.
Bridgeport's a rough area from my understanding. New Jersey's great, at least the Northern part of the state! Cool dome FrankR!

Born in Eastern Central PA but had family in both PA and NJ so from birth (1989) up until two years ago (2014) I bounced back and forth between PA and NJ.The Delaware River, which divides PA and NJ if you are not from that area, was pretty much always my back yard. In June of 2014 my wife and I moved to New Smyrna Beach FL and am never looking back! My wife is a teacher here and I'm helping start the town's newest brewery so we are pretty invested in he area haha. Most have not heard of my town so if it helps we are 40 mins NE of Orlando, 90 mins S of Jacksonville, 15 mins S of Daytona Beach, and about 3.5 hours N of Miami

Have lived all my life so far in phoenix, az. But its my dream to one day move into a home within walking distance of the beach in oceanside, ca (about 30 miles north of san diego, or is it 30 min drive,i cant remember off hand). Used to spend a week there every summer on vacation with my mom and sister growing up and those were some of the best memories of my life. A couple years agoi took my better half there ti show him the places i was always talking about and he fell in love with it as well, then last year in spring we visited friends who had moved to a small town in the far southeast part of san diego area, took them up there for a day on the beach, and again, it has become my favorite memory of time spent with them.
