1. Not for the present no
there are no toll roads here that I know of.

If you read the web page, these are all roads under development, so it's coming, but it's not here yet.

Good try, and all that!

14. Oh see,

I recend the offend then.

However, NC went "red" by 435,000 votes. That's about a mid-sized city here. And quite a few counties were too close to call.

It's definitely doable to turn NC blue.

We dems and liberals have work to do in this state, Lynne, and I don't appreciate the "you're just a RED STATE" taunt like it's and over and done deal. It's not. Not by a long shot, not over my dead body!

Find something else to roughhouse with. Harrumph.

edit:

check out this county by county map at CNN:

15. Well, we Delawareans don't appreciate the crap about our toll booth
Our state is devoid of sale taxes (except cars - 2.25%) and we have beautiful beaches (Rehobeth, Dewey & Bethany to name a few). We're a small state but a proud one. And yes, we have a few toll booths but they are all easily passable if you know our state (and it's hard to get lost in a state that is 20 minutes from either another state or the Ocean).

So you see, my anger wasn't so much directed at the good people of North Carolina who gave us someone so nice like John Edwards. My comment was directed by another Duer from your state who chooses to give shit to my state. Sure I know he's joking around, but the old adage - 'What goes around comes around' applies here.

To all the DU NCers my sincerest apologies except for one. He knows who he is and he needs to back off on busting on my beloved state.

See even us small staters have big pride in where we live!

16. Gawd - I had a meeting and I come back to this?

I'm sorry, Lynne, I'm just havin a little fun. Didn't mean for a flamey to start out of it.

Just for that, I will never mention your tollbooth again.

Deal?

:blush:
