I would never want to live anywhere else.

I honestly believe you've gotta be nuts to want to live anywhere where it snows.

You know that there are other places in the country where it doesn't snow, right? Or do you think that once you pass the Florida border, it's open tundra?

Florida tag doesn't know anything about any Congress, wants to know why mommy hasn't come to pick it up yet, and will start flinging poo any minute.

If I can put my tin-foil hat on for a moment, there already is something that provides protection against Alzheimer's but the drug companies can't make a dime off of it. It is a natural anti-inflammatory contained in curcumin, which is a spice, iirc. The incidence of Alzheimer's in countries that eat a lot of this spice is near zero. Here is an old article from 2001. Probably newer research since then.

See, I feel the same way...about living in Massachusetts.

Don't get me wrong, I've had a good time the few times I've been in Florida (mostly around the Miami area), but if I have to choose, I'll take my run-down little city on the South Coast of New England over anywhere else in this country.


... and I love having all four seasons, winter included.

I don't remember, but you're going on my ignore list. Or was it favorites? You stole my dentures didn't you?

Curcumin is a polyphenol compound contain in the spice Tumeric.

You know the great thing about Alzheimer's? You get to constantly meet new people.

Seriously, try the veal.

No...that just leads to a lot of rotten eggs on the lawn in September.
