8. My kids decided I was too old to live alone in a 5 bedroom house on 3 acres. My son in S. Car. bought me a house.

I now live near him. I moved from rural PA to South Carolina. It took over a year but I have found a few people that are sane and use their brains to think past "Oh, God Bless You Sweetie Pie" and then say "And pray for the President" to make friends with. There is not much difference between the two places except S. C. has more Baptist Churches.
