    Yeah, but this gypsy lifestyle is getting OLD.....along with me!
    • Gold Top Dog
    Weren't recently in the process of moving again, or were just moving some stuff around?
     
    • Gold Top Dog
    Yeah, Ron, we're doing it again, but only 50 miles down the road. Guess you missed my thread about the awesome house...with the attached (huge) 3+ car garage w/built in workshop......and the owner is the shelter supervisor for the HS!!

    I was born into a military family. I lived in NH: Libya, North Africa: Germany: and California before Dad retired to Maine.
    Did most of my growing up in ME where I met and married DH.
    He joined the Army, and we lived in Kentucky and Louisiana before coming home to central Maine to raise our own kids.
    I can't really see myself anywhere else now, as the ole' roots are deepening every year! I do love it here for many many reasons.

    My brother lives in Skowhegan.
     
    • Gold Top Dog
    I know Skowhegan well, Ron.  The place I used to work has a satellite office on Mary St. and I have spent quite alot of time up that way. I live just south of Augusta, about 40 miles south of Skowhegan (pronounced Skoweegan by the locals) :-)

    depends on whether you're from the part of Jersey that speaks like they're from Philly,

     
    Annie you're right she's back peddling!!
     
    HMMMM.....So really Jen, what does this mean that this is the ones you don't care for????

    No, no, no. I like the people from Jersey that speak like they're from Philly. I dislike the ones who speak like they are from New York. However, even if you are in the latter category, you are still better than my sisters, who have lived in PA their entire lives, yet speak like they are from New York. There is absolutely no excuse for that.
    BTW, Jaime, did I send you an email, or didn't I? I thought I did, but then I also thought I had done a few other things that I later found out I didn't, like reply to some messages and what not. So, since I haven't heard back from you yet, i'm starting to wonder whether or not I actually did it, or if I just thought about doing it.

    Born and raised in Phoenix, AZ.  Moved to hubby's hometown area in rural NE Ohio about 3.5 years ago, by choice.  Cost of living is so much lower here that I don't have to work full time and can be home with our boys.  And we have weather here!! Whenever anyone here finds out where I'm from, they always ask why would I ever leave sunny AZ?  Because it's too sunny! Moving to Amish country was a bit of a culture shock for me.  But I'm adjusting well, I think.  I was so fascinated with them when we first moved here, now, not so much (Amish puppy mills are a real problem here!).   Things I miss the most: my parents, my best friend, the mountains, Jack-in-the-Box.  And my hair-stylist (my SIL)!![:(]

    Aa- but what part of NY?  I'm assumming you mean NY City.  Most people do when they talk about NY.  That's why I make it a point to say either I grew up in upstate NY or NY State!  [:)]
    • Gold Top Dog
    Yes, yes, I mean the city. I usually assume that when someone says New York, they mean the city also.

    an old Navy brat here, but my in heart I am still a "swamp yankee". Ended up in Va. Beach, VA almost 20 years ago. I can't move now because I would have to pack up all my crap...

    My brother used to live in Seabrook, NH. Later, he lived in Exeter. Then he had a chance to buy a money pit, I mean, old farm house there in Maine and thats where he lives. And he's acclimated to it. His second wife could barely stand May here in Texas when it was only about 85 F. I said, then you'll love August with 105 F.
