Shadowwalker,
I'm glad you were able to see past the surface area to see the real Kentucky. It seems that a lot of people-even Kentuckians- are unable to do so. I, for the life of me, can't see what fine homes and a high income have to do with happiness. I've got enough to make it on and that's all I need. I have a home and a great family whom I can count on when times get tough. What more does anyone need?
Yep, the Ky cooks can rank with the best in the world.

If you're a happy person, you'll be happy, wherever you are living. If you are unhappy, then you will go here and there, trying to be happy....finally, you realize that it's inside of you.
Wherever you go, there you are.
I would prefer to live elsewhere than KY, but I'm a happy person. And I am happy in Kentucky. I do prefer the western United States. Perhaps one day, I can return. Until then, I will enjoy my life.
I drove all over the Kentucky, multiple times. It's a beautiful state, with diverse scenery and a lot of history. Happiness is dictated by personal circumstances not the state.

Reason: spelling
Sundance, I have voiced the same thought in slightly different words. Wherever you go, whatever you do, you take yourself along wth you.
M5000, Glad you enjoy our state. I live in the eastern part and wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
census data is sooooooo accurate with the girls and having kids ...
i'm a 29 y/o single male (never married) no kids ...
i live in the capital (frankfort) - and I am considered rare! Both males and females @ this age here in KY have either married/divorced and/or had kids ...
i'm moving very soon! I see why the state is ranked 49th unhappiest!
I have money/nice job/attractive ... but so unhappy with the people and what this place has to offer it's not even funny ..
There is nothing ever going on ... and the education in the people are low -
people are very un-loyal and it's always gossipy drama BS going on ....
even if you move here ! you are subject to drama, gossip, etc. If someone wanted to move to Frankfort/LEX - Please re-consider .... Louisville is a little better with gossip/drama ...but still with it being a big city not to much to offer .. and the same type of people ...

I love my homestate but whole heartedly agree with you on the topic of gossip in KY. It is unbelieveable, especially in my small town the amount of gossipy busy-bodies. My hubby always thought I was exaggerating about it until he went home with me the first time. He went with me to get my haircut and when I told the receptionist my name and appointment time three nosey ladies (who I had never met in my life) in the corner were like "....are you so and so's grand-daughter?" I answered yes and boy they were off filling the others in on who all I was related to, where my mama lives, where my sisters live, where everybody works at and basically my life from birth until that point. Hubby just looked at me speechless. Welcome to small town Kentucky, where no body can mind their own business.
Nothing stopping you, go be miserable somewhere else.
