Misshalfway Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I find it interesting that some are somehow embarrassed about living in Utah and feel that they must add some kind of disclaimer of origin to their status as resident. It is not like anyone is forcing you to stay. If it is that bad, then go. Utah is a great place to be. May not be for everybody. But neither is Texas or Vegas or Seattle or cornville Indiana!

checkerboy Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Angela you haven't been around long enough to know me so let me introduce myself. Hi I am Checkerboy. About 90% of what I say is tongue in cheek or intended to get a rise out of you. While it is true that I do dislike Utah for a variety of reasons I don't dislike people from Utah. In fact I have made some really great friends here that currently live in Utah. I had the opportunity just a few weeks ago to meet them, in Utah. So just remember Checkerboy=Sarcastic.

checkerboy Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Like Idaho is that much different than Utah.Sorry to sound snippy.....but let's be honest. Seriously MissH??Idaho is way different then Utah. And I don't claim to like it all that much here either. I am a California boy through and through, and if the economy would hurry up and collapse there so I could buy up land dirt cheap I would move back in a heart beat.

checkerboy Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 MissH have you lived in Idaho? If so please tell me how we are so much the same. Idaho's weather is way different. The people here are a lot nicer. The roads are actually driveable due to the fact that we don't need to be working on them 12 months out of the year. There isn't a huge anti mormon presence here. So all in all Idaho is a much better place to live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainofGold Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Utah????I visited Utah for 10 days in January about ten years ago. It was beautiful!!!! (for 10 days)My children loved to play on the snow, they loved the snow in the backyard of the house, in the parks, the playgrounds, and in the mountains. But after 10 days we were all so ready to come back to San Diego. Where you can go on walks on the beach any time of the year. And enjoy it. Where you have sunshine all year round! We have a beautiful temple in La Jolla. San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Park, Sea World, and Disneyland. Just wanted to mention a few reasons why I'm not too sad I'm not from Utah, but from San Diego.Rain:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelonaWing Posted September 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 California is WAYYY to busy for me.......... but I do like visiting.. Just don't wanna live there. I want to go for a ride on our GoldWing through the Redwoods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience with people in Idaho wasn't that they were nicer - a bit more nosey actually and quick to point out how their neighbors weren't living the gospel. It seemed like the farm town version of Utah to me, but with less to do. If my limited experience in Pocatello and Blackfoot didn't give me a "well rounded" perception of ID, neither does your limited experience in Provo.

bytor2112 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I live in NW Fl......visited Utah in 1994.....I liked it and thought about moving there....but, have decided on Colorado Springs instead. Maybe I'll get there one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkerboy Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Oh Honor you're not even from Utah, why are you trying to defend it? I know you are a true Cali girl at heart. And RainofGold what part of SD are you in? I grew up in Serra Mesa right above what will always be to me Jack Murphy stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misshalfway Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 · Hidden Hidden You know....I stand corrected. You are right. Utah is awful and everyone who lives here is a real pill and I should really think about moving because nothing good ever comes out of Utah. How stupid of me to see the good in such a crapo place! Thank you so very much for konking me on the head with such convincing comparisons. I feel soooooo enlightened! This conversation has shown me how beautifully accepting and non-judgmental people in Idaho are. OH sorry.....was I sounding sarcastic??? Link to comment
RainofGold Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I Live ten minutes from the beach, close to Camp Pendleton. The beach in Carlsbad is beautiful, people take walks there every mornings even in the "rain". I love it:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before telling anyone they should just leave perhaps you should know some backgrounds as to why some of us live in Utah and can't leave. Without knowing the whys shouldn't assume that something isn't forcing someone to be here. JMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainofGold Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 There are other states besides Oregon? None more beautiful of course...I have a friend that lives in Oregon, she says that is beautiful there in autumn.That the leaves and the trees turn all different colors, brown, orange, red and yellow. I've only seen pictures but I hope I can visit there one day..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 There are other states besides Oregon? None more beautiful of course... Oregon is beautiful. Well parts of it anyway. The west and central more than eastern in my opinion. I have many ties to Oregon and having been born there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
