    Yeah, there will be no Pacific northwest moving in my future, I play baseball, the rain out there would be the death of me.

    As to Phoenix, I've had many a friend come back and say "NEVER, EVER go there, sheer boredom would drive you nuts", so I don't know. Although there are a few decent jobs out there. Why can't there be a kick *kitten* Sr. IT job in Miami or Houston or something, you know, something that pays 6 figures and challenges me! Then I would just have to find something else to ***** about, like the heat!

    OH well, time to stop whining about my situation I guess. Twas fun, but I have bigger issues than a few sub-freezing days! Like studying for the stupid ACE Personal Trainer test!

    Convincing people it rains here all the time is part of our evil plot to keep so many people from moving here. :wink:

    Good luck on your test. I'm sure you'll ace it! (Pun intended.)

    bah, that was horrible.

    Oh and continuing my rant, today it was a balmy 5 degrees Fahrenheit out, with a wind chill making it -9 degrees. Ugh! Thank you indoor plumbing! How did people do it back then?

    Hey, what do you expect before 6:30 a.m.? :laugh:

    We had temps in the teens a week or so ago, but it was clear and sunny. Now it's raining and near 50. I'll take rain any day over that bitter cold!

    What about Denver? It's great here. People think it's cold and snowy. I'm not going to lie and tell you we don't get snow or cold temps but overall it's beautiful. The sun shines almost every day and if it does snow it's gone within hours. Even if we get lots of snow it melts within a few days.

    I have done 4 marathons, 3 of them required training through the winter. I've done training runs in December in shorts. We had a nasty cold spell last week (I think it's going through the midwest now) but this week has been in the 50's and sunny! It's great.

    There is so much to do you won't get bored and the open space and bike paths will spoil you rotten.

    I think there quite a few IT jobs here too! The job market isn't as bad here as it is in other places.

    Shhhh! We want to keep that a secret, don't we? Don't let the world know how great we've got it here! Let them keep thinking its a frozen wasteland here! :wink:

    You're right! Scratch everything I said! Denver sucks! Tons of snow and nothing to do.


    THATS BETTER! :bigsmile: Glad you found and read the memo! Remember when Gov. Owens said that all of Colorado was burning a few summers ago? He knew what to say to keep those easterners out of here! :laugh: Especially RED SOX FANS! After what they did to our Rockies in the World Series :brokenheart: , we don't need no stinkin' Red Sox lovers out here! :grumble:

    I could never move to denver anyway, I'm an ocean boy, born and raised near the sea. I've never lived more than 30 minutes from the ocean, and never really want to. Well, I guess maybe a great lake would be ok, but probably not.

    Well....I guess I'd have to laugh at EVERY last one of you guys! hehe I live in Manitoba just outside of Winnipeg! hahah You want to talk about cold.....how about having to go to school in -50 degree C weather and then having to wait outside for 20 mins. in t-shirts because the fire system thinks that cold air intake means fire! Then we have to walk to the arena dressed as we are! HA HA HA!!!!

    That's why they call it WINTERpeg! While I've had the pleasure of experiencing Winterpeg in February, I'm not going to try to compete with your cold!! You experience a very dry cold, we here in Montreal get that wet cold which hits you right in the bones.

    On the plus side - we don't get those yucky weird killer spiders/snakes etc... Everything dies in the winter.:laugh:

    That's SO true!! Everything does die which is very nice - we don't have to worry about that stuff!

    We do expect cold though which makes it easier - but that doesn't make it like it anymore we got 1 1/2 feet of snow last night!

    Expected, but not enjoyed. Believe me. Unless you ski, snowmobile, snowboard or some other winter-dependent sport, then it's pretty much guaranteed that you're hating life by mid-January. lol

    Brenda - you should try it with two really young ones! I never really got "cabin fever" until I had kids.

    You know...I live in Western Canada and it was -35 here last week..so I am not really feeling your pain.
    I'm in North eastern BC.... <<snip>>
    Like I would move to a country that I blame all the world's wrong doings on. LOL!
    and ahh, being below zero doesn't make the rest of us warm, it just makes all you people crazier!
    You ""blame all the world's wrong doings on"" Canada? Really? Canada?
