Been there, done that...grew up in CT, moved to Santa Monica. Everyday sunshine, no umbrella needed (then), on the beach on Valentine's Day, no mittens, or scarves needed. Try it.

It drove me crazy after 5 years. The whole fake snow/electric lights on palms for two months, etc.

Left CA, went to Hudson Valley, now back in northwest CT.

One sometimes comes home to die?

Yeah I guess so. Florida would have been my choice years ago but it’s to pricey now. I do have family in the Carolina’s who enjoy living there

Around this time next year I should be able too. Trying to save a lot of money first

> They only accept cash for emissions testing

Wait, is that true? I'm almost positive the last time I went to emissions I just used my regular credit card...

The problem with moving south is living with southerners.

Then move. Seriously. Why be unhappy? I'm not trying to be callous. Like I said, your happiness is on you. Find that place where you're happy. Move.

I was born and raised a nutmegger and moved to SoCal a few years back. I miss the sunny weather but the people were strange and they didn’t get my New England sense of humor. Now I’m back living in Connecticut again, people are rude af here but it’s comforting & normal for me.

California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, New Orleans s, Austin, Atlanta, parts of Florida, specifically Miami. You were saying? If you wanna fit in it's not that hard to find a place.

A lot of fast food places hire despite a criminal background, based on a sibling's experience.

Well, I think you just have to have a plan in place with employment and housing.

Just was gonna say this. Having things to look forward to in the winter make it as fun as any other time. Have so many cold weather activities that even now in April my family and I are trying to squeeze a little more winter the next week or so by going north.

and Two Guys!

Yes

I'm not here to anger anyone. I'm gonna delete my comment.

Have you tried artificial sun light? Tanning beds are like getting a warm hug from the sun.

And as I said, it clearly states in there that an arrest is not an indicator of what I'm doing. Arresting is almost never used as a basis, and when it is, and it's challenged, the employer typically finds themselves in trouble. So again, being arrested for something is not in and of itself a valid reason. A conviction can be, but even then there has to be a connection and the article literally says, "An employer cannot refuse to hire people simply because they have been arrested."

That's hilarious. What a bunch of losers. Meanwhile all the people in red states say the exact same shit about them! LoL and a round and round we go. No one will ever convince me the horseshoe theory isn't reality.

Of all the problems someone might think we have in CT, the weather is the least of them. We usually get 4 seasons, and they extremes aren't as bad as other states. Not as hot as the south or midwest, not as cold as midwest or upstate new york, etc.

Tame winters like this one actually makes me want to move north a bit. Spring is more exhilerating when you've been getting your ass kicked by winter.

Because most of the states with abundant sunshine are red.

Correct they don't need to tell you. I never said otherwise.

I'm the complete opposite. The summer months and that ugly humidity is terrible. At least in the winter you can bundle up with some blankets.

As my grandma always called it “Caldors”.

That's cool friend. On this sub someone could post a picture of a dog and someone would be like "cute dog but if it lived in Idaho it'd be the ugliest dog ever. I HaTe rEd StAtEs I WoUlD nEvEr LiVe iN sUcH a PlAcE" lol no lie man thats Rconnecticut for ya. That's how insane these Gen Z kids are

No argument here whatsoever on that. but you said you are unhappy because of the cold weather. Do your chemical imbalances change from season to season?
