Really? Perhaps things are changing for the better then between our states. Traditionally people have been moving to my part of PA from NJ/NY in search of inexpensive housing, better schools, lower crime, yada, yada, yada, and then immediately complain about how much better things were back where they came from. To be fair though the proposed Scranton---> Hoboken commuter rail line is facing a lot of opposition from natives who think that "this will import drugs from NJ/NYC." I guess I'm just amazed at the fact that we're only two hours apart logistically and yet we're world's apart culturally.

OT: Really, you've never looked this up, never figured out what it means?

Simply, to eat one's words cause they swore/stated that they'd NEVER do something, but then alas, due to changing circumstances, etc., they then do just such as they'd claimed they wouldn't/couldn't do. OT/

Born MO, lived in AL, now [again] IN.

Michigan. It has it's problems but it also has it beauties. Long stretches of beaches off the The Great Lakes, Thousands of lighthouses, A lot of water falls, beautiful forests and some great land formations from the Sand Dunes to the Pictured rocks.
