I think this is clean enough for the banter hall
so...

When we hit retirement age we come face to face with the fact that it may be time to relocate. The big question is: where to? Here are some tips.

You can live in Phoenix, Arizona where.....
1.You are willing to park 3 blocks away because you found shade.
2. You can open and drive your car without touching the car door or the steering wheel.
3. You would give anything to be able to splash cold water on your face.
4. You can attend any function wearing shorts and a tank top.
9. The 4 seasons are: tolerable, hot, really hot, and ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!
10. You know that "dry heat" is comparable to what hits you in the face when you open your oven door.

You can Live in California where...
1. You make over $250,000 and you still can't afford to buy a house.
2 The high school quarterback calls a time-out to answer his cell phone.
3. The fastest part of your commute is going down your driveway.
4. You know how to eat an artichoke.
5. You drive your rented Mercedes to your neighborhood block party.
6. When someone asks you how far something is, you tell them how long it will take to get there rather than how many miles away it is.

You can Live in New York City where...
1. You say "the city" and expect everyone to know you mean Manhattan.
2... You have never been to the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building.
3. You can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from Columbus Circle to Battery Park, but can't find Wisconsin on a map.

2. Halloween costumes fit over parkas.

You can Live in the Deep South where...
1. You can rent a movie and buy bait in the same store.
2."y'all" is singular and "all y'all" is plural.
3. After five years you still hear, "You ain't from ' round here, are Ya?"
4. "He needed killin' " is a valid defense.

2... You tell your husband to pick up Granola on his way home and he stops at the day care center.

You can live in the Midwest where...
1. You've never meet any celebrities, but the mayor knows your name.
2. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor.
3. You have had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" on the same day.
4. You end sentences with a preposition: "Where's my coat at?"

my favorites:

3. The fastest part of your commute is going down your driveway.

4. You know how to eat an artichoke.

6. When someone asks you how far something is, you tell them how long it will take to get there rather than how many miles away it is.

That's Pennsylvania! Well, here, its Construction, Construction, Construction, and winter. Did you know that PA has more paved roads than New York and all of the New England states combined??? Thats why our roads are soo horrible....the budget isn't big enough to maintain all of the roads. :rolleyes:

I can wholeheartedly agree here. The way the weather has been lately, I go to work with the heater on and come home with the windows down.
