Welcome from a native of Massachusetts. To paraphrase, yankee by birth, southern by the grace of God.

Most of the liberals from Mass have moved up here and are adding to the problem. Time for me to start thinking about moving to a more receptive state. If both my parents weren't still alive( 80's and going strong) I would have left years ago

[Champ198]

We're happy to have you!! Use the word "y'all" a couple of times in your posts and you'll fit in great!!

[Guest maineman]

That was my first shot at y'all heard it on the cooking channel ( paulas home cooking) all you'all need to do is add 8 sticks of butter ...... I love butter. Her not me

[Guest maineman]

In all seriousness it looks like I have come to the right place . I believe in the constitution and the 10th admenment none of this is reflected in our present government.It is my fervent hope we solve this problem at the voting booth in 2010 and 2012. Beyound that I cannot say , but my rights as provided in the constitution will not be compromised by this present government without a fight!

Welcome Yankee, used to haul "taters" out of Bangor, remember yer monies good here, and when someone says "Bless your heart" and they put a "well just" in front of that, it really means , kiss my ass. Come to east TN, we got the woodlands just like you, just there all uphill or downhill. Once again HOWDY!!! Now if you happen to have a 1911 that's tired of "northern oppresson", you can send it to me.

Welcome Maineman. Hope you enjoy your stay.

I was stationed in Brunswick back in the 90's. Had some good times there.

I feel your pain. When I moved out of MA (to Indiana, unfortunately) my Mom moved with me. 2 years later I moved my Grandmother too. Moved my family to TN after my Mom passed. It's a great place to live.

Welcome MaineMan. I lived in Bangor right behind Dysarts Truck Stop for 25 years, until Christmas 1990 before moving south to go to school. I fell asleep and putting a Getchell Bros Ice/Ice Cream truck in the woods just north of the first Newport exit, Headed south from Bangor. That cost me my job.

I loved it up there, the change of seasons, the rocky coasts around Bar Harbor and Schoodic. Had Tons of fun riding from Sugarloaf Mountain to the Canadian Border. That area had 1 police officer that you drive by on that road. If he was home you had 26 miles to the border with no crossroads or houses. The statute of limitations is up now, but my best time across it was just over 15 minutes :-)

I love the Whitetail and moose up there. When I moved down here I would see deer on the side of the interstate and think to myself, why are the deer so small? From what I know, here you can get more than one deer, so they go by quantity instead of quality.

It is great down here. In Chattanooga, the "feel" is just like Bangor, just 5-6 times the size. Not as "artsy" as Portland. Summer is WAY Hotter here. Basically the high in Bangor is the LOW here.. Tomorrow's foresact is 41/72 and in Bangor it is 30/50.

This is a great site. and a great bunch of people.

Oh yea, Tennessee women are FINE. My northern born and raised ex divorced me in 95 and I lucked upon a gorgeous southern bell who loves me, married me, and puts up with my baggage.

Welcome to TGO.
