That's true, this guy is definitely more Sopranos than Cincinnati.

But I don't care where someone is from. There's just no good reason to be rude, and I have seen a HUGE increase in rudeness since the season started. I mean, sure, great--where they're from, people are rude, and they brought it down here with them. Super.

How about just staying where they fit in better, then?

I mean, I can commit to NOT invading Yonkers and being overly polite to everyone, so maybe they can commit to not doing the opposite.

Apparently, sunshine doesen't solve all things.

It was probably a visiting NYer that called the cops. Just kidding, but don't get me started on Yonkers, I lived there once. Yikes. Though I do have a few fond memories, especially of watching fireworks from the porch.

Truth be told, some of my wonderfuless pals from my old home towns of NY do cause me to cringe with their bad tudes and move out the way, this world revolves around me mentalities. I have been experiencing the same run ins as others, really scouling faces when I'm out shopping lately, only I was thinking must be from NJ, because of the make up. I'm kidding, kinda. I love Jersey, lived there for quite a few years. Love the shore, not the area that's filmed.

As far as sunshine solving anything other than having a brighter day, I feel sorry for anyone that expects a climate, location to solve any of their issues. People with mean nasty dispositions will take those with them no matter where they go, they might hide them better sometimes, but they will come to the surface. My feeling is if you aren't content within yourself, won't matter where you visit or move to.

I was jokingly busting on Yonkers. I grew up in Jersey, and lived in Stamford for quite some time. There are plenty of great people in the area.

But this guy in particular was clearly a New Yorker who felt that "good morning" was an invitation to become a stereotype.

But again, I find the full time residents here to be amongst the friendliest people I have ever met.

After our first snow mixed with freezing rain today I cannot wait to get to Florida.

No more living inside until May for us, we will be enjoying being warm, swimming year around and enjoying all the wonderful things Florida has to offer us.

If you are active and enjoy all the things Florida has to offer active people, why in the world would you stay somewhere you cannot do the things you enjoy? Why not move to Florida like we are and enjoy?

I cannot think of any reason why you wouldn't want to move to Florida if you have done your research, enjoy what Florida has to offer you and make good sound decisions before you move.

We are getting closer every day, with some things to get done here in Ohio before we move, we are hoping to get down to Florida within a couple of months if not sooner. Keeping our fingers crossed.
