Although, I must say, our first choice of places to move to would be the San Fransisco area... with my hubby's job search, we may just land there!<br /><br />However, the people here are awful... you're right, they smile and act nicey, nicey, but it's fake nicey! Drives me crazy! I've actually read articles with studies that show Seattle is one of the most difficult cities to befriend people.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00540763506932979790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682464829469372477.post-33481611437946904552009-05-26T10:23:00.446-07:002009-05-26T10:23:00.446-07:00It took me two years living there to even begin to...It took me two years living there to even begin to adjust. And then I moved back to California. (And had to lose 20 pounds and get some color on my skin to fit back in. I was scaring everyone with my pasty, doughy appearance.) Anyway... I would have to add the bicyclists we nearly killed on the streets of Seattle daily, and the mold that grew on the inside of the apartment wall by the window. <br /><br />I love SF too. It and San Diego are tied for my favorite cities of all time.Kazahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04953977625325499626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682464829469372477.post-37286717738951135922009-05-25T21:05:51.470-07:002009-05-25T21:05:51.470-07:00I know alot of people have been lamenting the scho...I know alot of people have been lamenting the school "choice" thing. We got in to the school we wanted (apparently not a very popular school!), but sadly are moving out of this cluster so we are changing schools anyways. <br /><br />I hope it all works out for your family!mamamilkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15058694151742340915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682464829469372477.post-66309371438442462392009-05-25T18:48:47.778-07:002009-05-25T18:48:47.778-07:00let me ask the parental units about your ant situa...let me ask the parental units about your ant situation. they too used to get them big time and finally stopped the buggers....for good.<br /><br />hang in there red, i feel your pain.chihuahua5https://www.blogger.com/profile/12564489693520609676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682464829469372477.post-87347120439466746172009-05-25T18:40:22.875-07:002009-05-25T18:40:22.875-07:00We have those brown recluse spiders here too.

While that is reassuring on the one hand, it also means we have this uber race of GIANT spiders lurking about in my house wishing to be praised as our saviors.followthatdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073521142861511678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682464829469372477.post-82860710252344155112009-05-25T18:25:31.445-07:002009-05-25T18:25:31.445-07:00We have venomous spiders in St. Louis - Brown Recl...We have venomous spiders in St. Louis - Brown Recluses. If they were the size of my head, I'd leave!<br /><br />We DO get something I call an "eave" spider, but they don't come in the house, ever. They build nests under the edge of the siding, or in eaves (hence the name). You never seem them they are so shy. However, once I surprised one and when it ran off across the siding, I COULD HEAR IT'S LITTLE SPIDER LEGS!!!!<br /><br />That. That. That was spooky.Gregghttp://www.onedadslife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682464829469372477.post-81459087063172140682009-05-25T17:33:27.064-07:002009-05-25T17:33:27.064-07:00Rain I can deal with.

It does have its own issues, not least being the school issue, but I have to admit it is a pretty great place to live.<br /><br />Come see us, we have a lovely guest room (I'll clean out the spiders!)geekymummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10529149669501249892noreply@blogger.com
