I was reading this on MSN and was curious as to where the good oh Indiana was located. Surprise it was number 45. No wonder I am so sad all the time. LOL! I just thought I would share it with everyone to let you see where your state was. Does anyone live in Utah? Is it true? How about the top 10?

#35. I can see that. Somewhere in the low middle. Gorgeous scenery. The Finger Lakes. The wineries. The high cost of living, the high taxes, and the high energy charges...almost balances out, but not enough to make it 25th...
 
I am one that most likely did not get ask about this pole Betty :happy8:
memike happy :smilebox:,Stay broke, But yet feed my self and family so, to be here and not the alternative I am happy , there pole Arkansas: 62.9 .

Should be higher from my point of view:-k
My guess is they just want folks to stay out of the state of Arkansas :drinkers:
 
I don't know why oregon is even in the top 20... we're like the top 3 for unemployment...
And I think the reason the folks in Minnesota are so happy is because they all move to Florida or Arizona for winter (just kidding, I love Prairie Home Companion). 8)
 
#4..............yeah, we're happy here in Colorado. But then we just all but legalized pot.

4:20..........smok'em if you got em.
 
Number 8 on the list obviously they didn't ask anyone who really lives here, this state wacks it......
 
well I don't know who put Maryland at #6 apparently they have never drove up or down I-270 or around 695&495 beltway because those people are definitely aren't happy.my self I'm happier than hell wen I get home.
 
Not being from Utah, and never been there, is there a significance with Mormons and ice cream? I thought they spent all their time trying to have kids.

The first 16 years of my life; Eastern shore, living on Choptank River. hunting, fishing, Great times. Crabbing, trolling for rock, clamming in Delaware Bay, going to Rehobeth after a major hurricane, to pick up all the WW11 stuff that washed up on the beach.
 
I don't think there is any significance with us Mormons and Ice cream.
 
I'm in 25th place?? Well, New Jersey is nice where I live! I think it's the entertainment, look at the Governors we've had!!! Where can you find comedy like that.
 
My state is #34, which is fine with me. If people think the people are unhappy, maybe they will quit moving here. :angry7:

I live in Arizona. We have been voted "dumbest state in the nation" two years in a row... I guess what they say about being "dumb and happy" is true!
