Within the next month or so I may be getting an offer for my business where I have to consider where to live out the balance of my life. I asked a friend for suggestions and here is what he sent me.

You can live in Phoenix, Arizona where....
1. You are willing to park 3 blocks away because you  found shade.
2. You can drive for 4 hours in one direction and never  leave town.
3. You have over 100 recipes for Mexican food.
4. You know that "dry heat" is comparable to what hits  you in the face when you open your oven door.
5. The 4 seasons are: tolerable, hot, really hot, and  ARE YOU F**KING KIDDING ME??!!


You can Live in California where...
1. You make over $250,000 and you still can't afford to  buy a house.

2. The fastest part of your commute is going down your  driveway.
3. You know how to eat an artichoke.
4. You drive your rented Mercedes to your neighborhood  block party.
5. When someone asks you how far something is, you tell  them how long it will take to get there rather than how many miles away  it is.
6. The 4 seasons are: Fire, Flood, Mud, and  Drought


You can Live in New York City where...
1.You can get into an hour long argument about how to get from Columbus Circle to Battery Park, but can't find Wisconsin on a  map.
2. You think Central Park is "nature ,"

3. You believe that being able to swear at people in  their own language makes you multi-lingual.
4. You've worn out a car horn.
5. You think eye contact is an act of aggression.

You can Live in Maine where...
1. You only have four spices: salt, pepper, ketchup, and  Tabasco.
2. Halloween costumes fit over parkas.
3. You have more than one recipe for moose.
4. Sexy lingerie is anything flannel with less than  eight buttons.
5. The four seasons are: winter, still winter, almost  winter, and construction.


You can Live in the Deep South where...
1. You can rent a movie and buy bait in the same store.
2. "y'all" is singular and "all y'all" is plural.
3. "He needed killin' " is a valid defense.
5. Everyone has 2 first names: Billy Bob, Jimmy Bob,  Mary Sue, Betty, Jean, Mary Beth, etc.

You can live in Colorado where...
1. You carry your $3,000 mountain bike atop your $500  car.
2. You tell your husband to pick up Granola on his way  home and he stops at the day care center.
3. A pass does not involve a football or dating.
4. The top of your head is bald, but you still have a  pony tail.


You can live in the Midwest where...
1. You've never met any celebrities, but the mayor knows  your name.
2. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to  pass a tractor.
3. You have had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" on the  same day.
4. You end sentences with a preposition: "Where's my  coat at?"
5. When asked how your trip was to any exotic place, you  say, "It was different!"


AND You can live in Florida where..
1. You eat dinner at 3:15 in the afternoon.
2. All purchases include a coupon of some kind -- even  houses and cars.
3. Everyone can recommend an excellent dermatologist.
4. Road construction never ends anywhere in the state.

5. Cars in front of you are often driven by headless people.

Wherever you go, there's no place like  home.

I've switched from heat to A/C in the same day in Florida, as well as in the Midwest.

very funny!  but y'all is never singular -- it's always the plural form.  there's a method to the madness!

is like the difference between Naked and Neked?

(Ya'll is said slower then Y'all and with the acent on the 'a' sound.. as heard deep in the Lone Star State)
