You may find this weird, but I am proud to be from Mississippi. It's the home of some of the most wonderful people, places and food. If you haven't visited us, come on down. We love visitors. You'll be pleasantly surprised. BTW, we have some wonderful quilt shops.

No. Can't say that I am proud to have 1 former governor in jail, the gov that followed him on his way to jail after appeals end, and the one in office now raised taxes so high that the Gov's of neighboring states came to visit Il businesses in droves to invite them to move there (WI was one of them).

The school districts are going broke. The state employees insurance is being refused in some places because it pays so slowly. We don't have mountains, beaches or cool accents. Winter is cold and summer is hot. Nope. I don't love Illinois.[/quote]
Gotta agree here, too!
