As sad as it may seem, most of my family thought I was the kids' favorite uncle because my Chuck Norris impressions reminded them of Mr. Rogers.
Now I *must* hear your impressions! I never watched Mr Rogers, he seemed too creepy.BobG said:As sad as it may seem, most of my family thought I was the kids' favorite uncle because my Chuck Norris impressions reminded them of Mr. Rogers.
Evo said:I love my neighborhood, quiet, got a stream in a ravine outside my back door. Ducks and squirrels. Close to stores.
wolram said:Wow.you could go on the hunt Duck pie, i don't like duck much thought' may be squirrel pie ?

Evo said:
No, they are my *friends*! When they run out of food, they knock on the window. The squirrels, not the ducks.

Uhm, <lowers head, scuffs toe on floor> can I move in with you lisab?Funny you should ask this question, Wooly, because I just moved into a new neighborhood a couple weeks ago. So far, I really love it. The view is fantastic, Puget Sound, Vashon Island, the Cascade mountains, even Mt Rainier. I'm a block from a great park with a waterfront promenade, miles of forest trails, and a nice zoo. I've heard the traffic can be bad on nice weekends in the summer, but that hardly seems enough to run me out of here.

We're moving in with Lisab, hypatia.hypatia said:I live between a rock and a hard place. It was ok when I moved here 8 years ago, but now I have a home security system, along with a big protective dog and loaded guns. Too many foreclosed/empty homes paired with no jobs.
Yes, I would move if I thought I could sell my home.
Evo said:We're moving in with Lisab, hypatia.
I don't know how much room she has, but I'm willing to chip in for a home addition.
OmCheeto said:I do have a spare room here. And you wouldn't have to learn much of a new language.
Though I did google "nerdy cardy", and came up with only one other hit besides yours, so you might have to stop making up your own language, if you want to "hang", as we say.

I am going fishing. I am going fishing. I am going...
YAY! I am quiet, clean house, and am a good cook. Hypatia is also an awesome cook. Good times!lisab said:We'll get bunk beds. Evo, you have to sleep on the bottom, though...we don't want any broken bones in the middle of the night.
We're going to have such good times.

Apparently, the "calm ones" on the planet, see a need to get together, and decide, how we need to proceed.
This should be interesting.
Never mind Woolie. I think I like where I am.
It was all scrap metal junk that they stole anyways.

I like how you see distant islands from the backyard of those houses. I occasionally take virtual walks along those roads. I went there in December of 2009.
OmCheeto said:Ha! When I saw the street address, I recognized it as very near to where I used to inner tube across the river to a big island. But it sure looked as if they'd done a lot of development. And those trees sure grew fast. Then I noticed I was about http://maps.google.com/maps?q=14985...07124&t=h&z=17&panoid=0-qSXnlOTh6GH0sCoke_9Q".
If you want something done, chances are that one of us in this neighborhood can take care of it, at least. Yesterday my wife spun out on a steep hill and slid off the road, burying her car in a deep snowy ditch. Another neighbor risked life and limb to bring her back home. After the plow truck went by spreading some salted sand, I took her back there and then returned home to get my tractor. A neighbor came down with me (at earlier than 7am) in driving, freezing rain, to help me get my wife's car out of the ditch, and he supplied a very nice 3-legged load-rated chain sling that helped me get her car GENTLY pulled out of the ditch with my tractor without causing problems. I am on the hunt for something similar, though it seems new slings are about $500 or so. Simple construction, but OSHA load-rating, testing and certification have their costs.wolram said:Turbo you must be the ultimate DIY er.

BTW, today, my wife made that neighbor a chocolate pie with graham-cracker crust (his favorite) to say "thanks" for helping. She's not content to let this be a "good old boys" network, and rightfully so.
Last month, a young couple bought a vacation get-away house on the road across from our property. After less than a week, my wife went up there to say "hi" and take them a loaf of fresh bread and the guy told her that they had lived in Weymouth, Mass for years in the same place, yet after just a few days, they already knew more people here than back home. This is a really "network-y" area.wolram said:you are lucky Turbo, i have lived in this complex all most a year now, and still do not any ones name.
