New User, i know - Been lurking for a while now, decided to finally sign up. I thought this was an appropriate thread to start with.

Hiya and welcome, Nuffman!

[xoxoxoBruce]

Gosh, I wish I'd said that.

[OnyxCougar]

I'm in Greenville, NC. And I'm going to Atlanta, Georgia in April, and My family is descending on New Orleans in The Second Week of June.

Troubleshooter, as a resident, can you give me some info, links, etc on what to see and do in 4 days (Thurs-Mon) in the NO area? (I suppose you should put it under the cities forum...)

I am from Binghamton New York. I read the post about the hockey fight and had to laugh because it involved the Binghamton Senators! Well who knew that we had a hockey team? hmmmmm......

And.....you freely admit that!?


Before you get all pissed off, let me say that Banghampton is pretty close, although I am on the free side of the border.

There is another senior member here that is also close but I dont think he shares the same intense dislike of NYS that I do.

In any case, it's nice to have you here.

That would be me, and slang is right...I do not dislike NYS, I just do not go there. I went to Rochester once and I go to NYC now and then but NY is not a big destination for me.

[elSicomoro]

Griff lives near Binghamton...that's who I thought slang was referring to.

I thought you were in Hazleton, Brian.

[nothing personal] Well, anyone that shares my lack of enthusiasm in NYS in general, can reply as if they were the unnamed member I was referring to. [NYS members]

New York isn't that bad actually. I have lived here my whole life and haven't had any problems. I am not pissed it is your opinion and everyone has one. But hey if you dont like it then you are probably doing the best thing by staying out of it. I like NY better in the summer I am so damn sick of shoveling snow and wearing 10 layers of clothing just to get out my door to get to work every morning. Know what I mean?

Well that's something people that live in Slangsylvania or Grifftopia can identify with.

Binghgampton is two hours north of here...go up 81 to Scranton then continue across the NY border to 17 and go west. There it is.

Scranton being an hour away and the same distance to Bing (according to my map), I figure two hours...that's close in my world.

I like bitter cold weather. When it's 10 degrees out, it normally doesnt snow and almost no one is outside. This feeds my fantasy that I am the only person on this planet and no longer need to fight and argue with anyone but myself.

When it does snow, it covers everything from view, again feeding the same fantasy.

What can I say, I'm a polite misanthrope. Hey, at least I'm honest about it.
