I do like where I live ...

So when I hear things about New England and it's history and culture and people, I tend to pay attention.

Just recently, the peeps over at GoFundMe declared we New Englanders to be the most generous:

We occupy the top three positions on their per capita donations rankings, and four out of the top five, and six of the top ten.

Despite this love of where I'm from, my wife and I are discussing where we want to live the rest of our lives.

It's not a decision to be made immediately. I'm currently enrolled in another degree program so I couldn't move immediately anyway. And she has a successful accounting practice here.

But long term ... It's this where we want to call home? It's an open discussion.

Do you love where you live?

Would you ever pick up and move?

What would motivate such a decision?

Is climate a good enough reason?

As a New Englander if I ever moved anywhere else it would be somewhere without snow. Part of the reason Im no longer on social media is because all of the NH groups that are absolutely filled with racists too.

@Captainjackass A fellow New Englander! 😁😁😁

Yeah, I get the no snow thing. This is what we are considering now.

@sarabee1995 looking forward to the next storm on Monday?

@Captainjackass Lol, I'm flying home early to make sure I get in before it starts. I was initially flying home tomorrow but I'm sitting at Chicago O'Hare right now on standby.

It's supposed to start tomorrow, right?

@sarabee1995 I think tomorrow night. I had been hoping the snow was done with but apparently not.

@Captainjackass Yeah same. I know this is the first real winter we've had in a while, but it's been nice.

@sarabee1995 not for me! I don’t have four wheel drive and shoveling is hard with kidney stones.

sarabee1995 · 31-35, F

@Captainjackass Sorry... I meant it's been nice not having to deal with real New England winters for a while.

@sarabee1995 yeah I remember as a kid we’d get several feet of snow a snowstorm but bow its nothing compared to that. But of course global warming doesn’t exist 🙄.
