ParticipantTwo years ago, a dear friend of mine was OBSESSED about moving back to upstate NY, where she grew up and her family still lives.
She and her CA-born-and-bred husband (who had never experienced “winter”) felt that it would be best for their future children to move “back home.”
Their first baby was born a few months ago and all they talk about is moving back to SD. The need to be with her family seems to have, well, disappeared.
Apart from holidays, she hadnt spent lots of time with her family in over a decade. Once she was back, she was shocked that everyone wanted/expected her to be the Cindy they remembered – not the Cindy who had lived in San Diego for 10 years.
Sigh. I guess the moral to the story is, people move to CA from other places. They live here for awhile. They bitch about the traffic, the cost, the people, housing, etc. Then, they pack up and move and, within a short time, all they can think about is moving back to CA.
Unless you are a highly paid consultant, WHAT would one do in WY for work? I can only think of working as a ski instructor, bartender, waitron or a kitschy shop owner.

ParticipantWhy dont we all just move to Punta Cana and drink lots of fruity rum drinks with little American flag drink stirs (made with non-toxic recycled plastic, of course)? Piggington Island, anyone?
I’m watching HGTV and some broad is looking at bright, airy condos in the Dom Republic in the low to mid $100s.
Back to reality…This housing bill is depressing. In one of the bill’s earlier iterations, I believe it was supposed to offer buyers of foreclosure properties a tax credit up to $8000. That is apparently nowhere to be found in the passed legislation.
Where was that bottle of rum….

ParticipantHi there Aecetia,
During my online travels in the land of carpeting, i stumbled onto this thread (and a couple of others that noted the same thing about “corn rowing” and Dyson vacuums).
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1735761
I have no idea if it’s true…could be just some pissed off carpet consumer.
Yes, FLU, I realize it’s possible to get (as my husband often says) “spun up” about these types of things.
However, before spending thou$and$ on anything, I like to find out WHAT it is I’m buying and what possible alternatives exist.
