    I live in Rockford, Illinois

    Things you should know about Rockford, Illinois:

    The home of Cheap Trick. That's the end of the good stuff (if you consider that good). We are always in the Top 10 in unemployment, crime, some of the worst roads and schools, city and state run by democrats for decades. Also a new development we are now in the Top 10 in venereal diseases. I don't hold the politicians responsible for that though. Summers are hot and humid and winters are about 6 months long. Only thing keeping me here is my job. I am out of here the first chance I get. I will be going west.

      I live in Colorado, my family lives here.

      I don't have to worry about California earthquakes, Florida hurricanes and tornados that occur mostly on states near the mississippi river. My city is too far from the forests to worry about forest fires.

                Buffalo, ny, born and raised, still here, because chasing that first championship is too much.

                The first championship in buffalo will be the most celebrated and best ever in sports, here in buffalo, we've seen it all

                                  Cougar should go down south where repubs run counties...

                                  I'll give him 2 weeks tops before he moves back to Rockford.

                                            Born in Ottawa, Ontario and then moved to Toronto for 5 years for work and got the hell out of that shithole and moved back to Ottawa where I currently live. Not the most exciting place hence why I go to Vegas every couple of months.

                                                    From the U.S. of A. but have been living in Bangcock for close to 20 years. Been all over the world, done all sorts of jobs, and I'm now getting close to being ready to settle down with the family. Need to win some money gambling if I want to move us somewhere else as my current job has dried up, so to speak. When I do move, I'll either move back to the U.S. (probably not) or near a beach in Mexico or I'll stay in Thailand, but I'll move to the jungles or some deserted beach. If I move to the U.S., I'll probably move to somewhere in the backwoods so I can be left the f*ck alone. I like my private time.

                                                              Chipper what's the cost of living like there now? I've been to Vegas many times and I had a friend who lived there about 30 years ago. I'm sure it's changed but it used to be reasonable to live there (as long as your money's not being spent in the casino's). It's another place I've considering moving to but I'm not sure yet what I'm doing so I'm still "researching."
