Dont get me wrong, I dont particularly agree with everything or understand everything posted here from US members either. But I find myself less and less agreeing with or understanding much that is posted here from the UK or Europe - but then I'm likely the perpetual outsider.

Should I move to the US?

If so, where in the US? - taking into account that I cant take the cold or the sun, dont like big cities or small towns, dont fancy witnessing tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes or floods, and would be bored silly with endless prairies!

Yes. Everything is 30% cheaper for you. You can go on a shopping spree.

Sounds like you might like the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, northern CA)... temperatures are a bit more moderate than other parts of the U.S., although some areas get a LOT of rain, and there's quite a bit of geographical diversity. The only problem is lots of Californians moving up there trying to turn all the little rural havens into European-style socialist states

Status: offline 		Second the idea of the Pacific Northwest.  Along that coast the weather is pretty close to England.  Rarely snows, never gets really cold or really hot, winters tend to be rainy and gray.  They have big storms sometimes, but no tornadoes and nothing like a Florida-style hurricane season.

You could find towns of all sizes, from Seattle and Portland on down.  If you want medium, try Bellingham WA, near the Canadian border, or Vancouver WA, just across the river from Portland.  Both have active BDSM groups, and are small cities, not small towns.  Both are close to larger cites with lots of attractions.

Status: offline 		Go to Canada LadyEllen, you do not want to come to the US. Some of us would welcome you with open arms. However the US generally speaking is not liberal as far as anyone who isn't white/straight/christian is concerned. I am seriously considering of moving to Canada myself, I am really getting tired of the BS that goes on here in the states.

Status: offline 		Thanks all. Lots of ideas there!

Thinking about it, I always liked the idea of N California/Oregon/Washington, but also the Carolinas for the history and all that - the hurricanes would put me off. Hawaii was a bit of a surprise, but that could have its charm, though with apologies, its not really the US in my mind LOL!

Canada would be great (my grandma was from there) but I fear much too cold in the winter for me!

Status: offline 		Thanks Goodlittlegirl - it was all going well, until it asked for my email and details at the end; I'm on enough junk mailing lists so I dont do that anymore!

Interestingly, though, it did come up with previewed likely spots whilst the questionnaire was underway - one of which was in North Carolina....
