Hi Snickers!
We are kind of the opposite. I was born and raised in Fla., and lived in Jackson, Ms. from 1984 to 1988. In fact that is where my husband died. Some may find this weird but I kind of liked it there. Rent was so cheap, I had a GORGEOUS apt. for what nowadays would be considered a monthly grocery bill. LOL I still miss the Southern hospitality and it's funny, back then, I had no problem getting the meds I needed for my pain at all. At one point I had actually thought about moving back there, but after reading some of these posts, no way.
Happy Holidays to All!
