If some said snow was white, a few posters would say it was black.
Gamby... I am sorry to hear of your confinement. I hope you have a sweet, nice, peaceful and NOT cold Christmas. And a New Year filled with feeling better.

Are you talking about my son when he was in the 7th grade, or my dog?
Gamby... peace and better health to you. I can understand your missing a house you lived in for 42 years. That has to be difficult to leave. I hope life is at least a bit easier for you in this climate. As for 95 degrees and humidity, I personally can take that much better than two months of 40s followed by three months of 15-30 degrees and bitter wind, dirty snow, followed by 90 days of 40s (West MI). To each our own!

Every place has a unique beauty if you look for it. My attitude has always been look for the best in any situation and your life will be more enjoyable. We have lived in several places as I moved around in my career and loved every place we lived. We lived for five years in Fargo, ND and found it to be one of the cleanest, safest, and friendliest places we have lived. When we moved to Fargo we heard all the horror stories about people dying during blizzards and forty below wind chill, and I laughed and said I was banking on global warming and soon Fargo would be tropical Because of the expectations we had heading into each winter, we were almost always pleasantly surprised, and actually learned to appreciate the winter, and spring, summer, and fall were magnificent. Now that I am retired and have lots more leisure time, I appreciate the warm winters of Florida which allow me to be outside staying active with things I love to do almost every day. Anyone who wastes their time wishing they were someplace they're not is missing out on a lot of great living.

Seattle has 19 sunny days
We have 19 sunny days during the six months of Nov thru April. Not much snow at sea level but it's in the 40's most days. It is a little depressing. People here are all at the same stage of life, so we are finding them more outgoing and friendly than at home. Probably because in Seattle everybody else is working and we aren't, and we never made a group of social friends as we both worked a lot of hours. Also everybody here doesn't have a blue tooth stuck in their ear talking to air, so you can actually say hello. However it is awfully far from our son.

I won't shovel snow anymore. Period. When one has shortness of breath and need to rest after 15 min. or so of shoveling, why take a chance. Yes, cosmopolitan Washington DC was wonderful but not the snow and dreary weather. I get depressed. Visiting London was great but having to live there for a few years and go through wet and low hanging cloud of a weather is another story. Yes, I haven't gone through a whole period of summer yet. I am praying I can survive it. Then all is well.

dmorehome !
So many people here ARE FROM NEW ENGLAND! 4 on my street alone. Re: your post, above. -------------------------------------------------------------- 2bnty ! I lived in P.T. Barnum village (Bridgeport CT) ! when I was young. It was a rough place then, I can imagine it now. Your remarks about CT are right , Taxs are high and you lived in a big city with the crime that develops in large cities. I lived in the country ; even so the cost of living was twice as much as here. I mentioned this in my post. Connecticut is a beautiful State and the people are super nice, They only get cranky when they get old and move to the village. (Just kidding) Last edited by gamby; 12-22-2013 at 01:42 AM.

We loved MN, and the snow was pretty. We love TV; the daily sunshine makes it all worthwhile.

I definitely agree...my home in MA overlooks salt water marshes that reflects the beautiful ever changing seasons. But....yes there is a "but", New England weather can be overcast for days....Florida's consistent sunshine and temperatures is such a mood booster! Looking forward to spending more time there.
