that's cool.. no offense (or pun) intended.

btw, do we by any chance have a favorite band in common?

Very few people get the connection, I'm impressed. Surely you can't be as old as me.

I can sympathise....I used to sit with my seed catalogues on my lap waiting for the thaw - the winters are long and hard there.
I love CT but could never move back.

As an true anti winter fan (lol)… I can say the last several days were picture perfect…sunny and in the lower 70’s. The grass is now green the buds are popping and the Forsythia are showing the full fire yellow. As much as I hate winter in the Tri-State area…the surge of green and the change this time of year still amazes me.

As someone who just moved from beautiful CT to supposedly sunny CA, let me just say the grass is always greener. I can't wait to get back to CT. Sure, we have alot of nice days here, but right now it is almost 90 degrees here and I have a newborn and two preschoolers underfoot, and NO Air Conditioning. Not many homes have AC here, it's crazy considering how hot it gets. In APRIL! I'd take cold winters any day over this hellish heat we are enduring.

You could not pay me enough money to live in that stinking cesspool.

After rush hour in the morning and the early part in the evening, its not safe to ride light rail. They've grabbed gang bangers off of it that have guns.

Ok, where are you and why is there still snow and ice stuck to your house? Is this an older post or are you in Siberia?If you are complaining about Connecticut...move...you don't have to stay here and someone who will want to be here will take your "spot" anyhow. It says you are a "Junior" Member so, evidently you can still pick up your "stuff" and move, so do it if you are not happy here...unless of course you are under age and still at home with the folks.

This past winter was not all that much different than winters before it...face it, you live in New England and it SNOWS....think about the folks in Northern Maine and the mounds of snow they endure and never complain.

Connecticut in the springtime is amazingly beautiful and as far as Florida goes....not for me. Too many bugs, crocadiles living in or near your yard, hurricanes, humidity all the time... YUK.

Just FYI, you can see the dates of posts in the upper left corner of each post. The OP created this thread back in January, in the middle of winter. And the "Junior Member" and "Senior Member" refers to the number of posts a person has made, not how old they are. I can tell you I am certainly not a "Senior" citizen.

Have you been outside lately? OMG how pretty the springs are here. Well worth the long winter.

DUH...my bad...Not stupid just don't pay attention to stuff like that on here. I figured that Senior meant anyone over 20 or 21 and it was a way of distinguishing what age group you are chatting in not how many times you posted. Are you sure about that one? By the way...One more year and I WILL officially be a senior...just think, senior discounts galore, social security and retirement...whoo hoo...and to think I only look 45!
