Guest guest Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 I like it here. Even though the winters can be a bit trying at times.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 Dz, my son & his wife moved from here to the Green Bay area last December. He seams to be enjoying it so far. ce he was only two when we moved out here I was kind of surprized. They say it averages about one house out of four has a pool. Some of our friends have a pool. We don't, They cost a lot to maintane. I don't want to pay out the extra $$$ each month to only be able to use it four or five months a year.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2002 Report Share Posted February 23, 2002 ane no one dares set foot anywhere near our Property as our dogs will run them off!!! That's my protection... when Ken is back workin'(union) & I'm here most of the time by myself. Just the dogs barkin' turns moist people away but if they get persistant I set em loose----that gets gpoing in hurry...but this is only for strangers or Salespeople (which I despise!!) Or the Holy rollers who come door-to-door and are next to impossible to get rid of........ When we were living up in the mountains not far from here (years ago) I ran them off with Ken's 357 magnum One time when we were'tnt home a group of the them came onto our property- & Rebel(Ken's old Dobie) he would wag his butt around & act real happy to see people til they got close to front door -- then he's turn aggressive & run them off actually grabbingpant legs & ripping them - but he never bit anyone but Ken or I & then he's used just grab to around the foot or someplace else & hit a nerve & we'd just collapse on the ground.. tehn he's start lickin' us to death!! arlene diane214@... wrote: > I got a few of those friendly persuaders myself....

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2002 Report Share Posted February 23, 2002 terry know hoat you mean about the hi temps in AZ my folks had retired to the footlills section of about 20 east of Yuma... one april Ken & I went to visit them & when the house got (inside got down to about 85 degrees my mom went & turned on the heater--so Ken & I went out on the patio & sat out on the swing... Ken was so hot even out there he was just amazed when he looked @ the big thrmometer oustside & it was still 110 degrees @ 1AM...needless to say we only stayed a couple of days...BTW Ken was born in Idaho & grew here in Oregon,,,,,he had been thinking that when we retire we'd probably move to AZ as I don't really mind the heat as I grew up in SO Cal & it woiuld get so hot in the summers in El Cajon that they would fry eggs on the main st. sidewalk...this was done annually evey summer for decades but I don't suppose they do it anymore as El Cajon is no longer a small town east of San Diego anymore.. it's grown immensely in the 25 yrs I've lived here in Oregon. but I still miss the nice weather & sunshine / no smog that I grew up with....Originally I came from just outside Cleveland Ohio--but we moved to Cal. in early '50s when I wa about 4 years old arlene After going through the midwest plains states to So Dakota in '00.. loved the summer there even though they did have a tornado go through raoid city while we were there--- of course seeing that it happened in Aug they called it a'micro-burst' but I'll tell you it was very destructive & started all those forest fires that went through the Plains states clear as far west as central WA We were on a m/c & had a very hard time keeping outta all the smoke in those 5 staes we went through!! We rode out very early from Rapid City(storming every evening & alll night long for about 7-8 days but after the first 5 days we noticed the that the storms would die down from about 4am4pm Ao we bugged out but had to ride clear to western Montana before we could stop for a night...we rode aboit 14 hours that days & were plum tuckered out when we did stop!! arlene Terry Long wrote: > Dz the summers here are very trying, Our high temps > go over 100 in late April or early May & stays there > until late September or early October.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2002 Report Share Posted February 23, 2002 Terry my folks had a pool in SanDiego when I was growing us kids did all the cleaning & Dad was a pipefitter so he did all the plumbing upkeep & he had friends that were Electricians & they would come out & fix anything we needed fixed & they were always invited to come out anytime & bring their families for BBQ's & swimming.. but we used our pool about 10 months oout of the year & no it wasn't a heated pool either! Us kids just were ater freaks & loved the pool & I had horses back then so I'd go riding & then swimming @ night!!

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2002 Report Share Posted February 24, 2002 Machelle the road we live & neighbors aren't real close..... some chat about anything chit-chat .. others just smile & wave....... one turns their nose up( they are the jerks I'd told Diane about over a year ago.....teens were druggies & alkies - just like the mother!! But live & let live---or die in their case (just joking there) We don't get too many really nosy or pushy neighbors--way of the neighborhood---everyone seems to tend their own.....but if anyone should need any help all we or they have to do is that goes for all of about 3-4 of the owners -some don't even live on their property - merely an investment!! arlene Machelle wrote: > When I sent in the population for ville, I was wrong.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2002 Report Share Posted February 24, 2002 I live in Houston. The winters are great. One day a high of 80, the next day 45. The summers are hot, humid, and polluted. But I've been here all my life and it's home. But if anyone tells you you'll get used to the heat, don't believe them. After 45 years I still hate the heat. One of the few places in the US I haven't seen is the midwest and I'd love to go there someday.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2002 Report Share Posted February 24, 2002 Atlene, Several thosand retire out here every year. Several thosand more spend the winters or part of the winter out here. But there are a few thosand like me who moved out here during their working years & are waiting to move back to or near where they came from. If I don't transfer to our main plant in Madison Wi. I will have my house sold & will be backing a U-Hall up to my front door the day after I retire & will be moving back to Central MO.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2002 Report Share Posted February 24, 2002 Sharon, People out here say in the sumers it is hot but it is a dry heat. But when it's 115 to 120 for the high in the day & at 10:00 at night & it's 105. It makes no differance. If it's dry or humid, it's HOT to hot to spend very much time. You get in your car after it sits in a parking lot for thirty minutes or longer you can burn your hands & fingers on the steering wheel. I lived in the midwest the first 27 years of my life. The last 21 years here in Az. I'll take the midwest even in the winter over this. Terry --- Sharon Zeis <szeis_1@...> wrote: > I live in Houston. The winters are great.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2002 Report Share Posted February 24, 2002 Yeah, I always thought anything over 85 is too hot, humid or not. I just don't know if I could handle snow. But then I guess if I can handle Peg-intron, snow is probably easy. Sharon --- Terry Long <pawpawto3@...> wrote: > Sharon, People out here say in the sumers it is > hot > but it is a dry heat.
