Thank you. I guess I never really expected anyone to read it, but if they did they might as well be entertained.

Forums like this are a good place to complain.
I have found that the best response to them is none. They grow tired of having no one to argue with and go somewhere else.

That is not the case on CD. The Florida forums address real problems that people should know about. There is a difference between whining and being over-taxed, losing your HOA insurance etc.
That is the beauty of CD- people get real information. It is not a chamber of commerce PR ad with smiley faces. That is life.

I beg to differ. There are forums on this site where you will find these types of people. Do a search for ronniejonez and read his idiotic rants about Iowa.
And to answer NCG in the post after this - no, I wasn't. there are some very nasty people hanging out in some of the forums here. Just not the TN forum. Gotta love the ability to edit!

I read your profile and noticed Nature and History.
Have you been watching the Planet Earth series? Absolutely amazing! We ordered the DVD set so we can watch it again. Should be really nice after our current TV gives out (very, very close) and we replace it with a big screen. Yet another two month research project. Just finished replacing the washer/dryer and I'm starting to look for a new vehicle.
Does it ever stop?
Which brings me to another reason this is a cool forum. People get caught up in side conversations and no one seems to mind.

Ok so I guess he wasn't. But he is right. We were discussing going to other forums and finding people everywhere that were dissatisfied where they were even the places we want to go like Tennessee. That's all. It still sounded a little tounge-in-cheek to me Tek Freek
