Oh, that's tough, especially if you need 4 new tires. I was annoyed that I need a new espresso machine. It's not so bad in comparison. Good luck!

S2, House of Cards... I think I'm 4-5 ep in... it's still good, but at times I have to stop what I'm doing to rewind & watch... it's not one of those shows I can have on in the background & half pay attention to, while I work on the computer.

I concur... I think Jo is everyone's crush everyday. She's the most consistent & fun part of MFP... has been for a long time. :smile:

You forgot VT Country Store. :smile: VT is beautiful... I spent most of my life in Boston, so visited a number of times & am originally from NEPA & VT reminds me of a less economically depressed PA. Jobs are a bit thin, however. I've mostly know those who've left VT for job security, but I'll bet it's a lovely place to…

I'm jealous. My espresso machine needed burial at sea this morning, so I took a metal tea strainer, stuffed it with ground beans & hoped for the best... dunked it in hot water from the microwave... that's all I had. I long for a bucket. :smirk: Ordering one online tonight. Hurry, hurry, hurry, dear delivery

TYVM for your input @Motorsheen Similarly, I've been to every lower 48 state... at least driven through on my many cross country jaunts & agree 100%. I've also seen so many small places with lovely people that would be great places to live... but, good luck earning a living in the middle of nowhere. Your recommendations…

You're very welcome. I appreciate feedback, too... it helps brainstorm, to reinforce research or rule in/out ideas. Town, cottage in the woods, fresh water lake... New England... NH, VT, ME, in particular, or even places in small town PA is what you're describing, but if you're completely cold/snow adverse, then nothing…

Futzing about with major housecleaning, day 2, while listening to an old John McAffee interview. Have a good week, All!

I understand... that's a soothing sound for me, too. ATM, I need a lot of white noise (3 fans... 3, on high) because I have 6 HVAC systems outside my bedroom window (I'll never rent an apt again without opening the blinds all the way) & an old central a/c system that's off-on-off-on all night long with horrid clunks...…

I've lived in every region of the country, always in big cities... from L.A. to San Diego, Seattle, Denver, Austin, Indy, Boston, NYC, Atlanta, several cities in FL, NC & a few more. I initially said 10 states... I think it's 12. Same as you, San Diego to Santa Barbara (lived in 4 cities between the 2) is perfect, but only…

A good aerobics song a friend just played for me. Matt Berry "Snuff Box". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ssRbyWqHmg

Absolutely. That's literally saved my life a couple of times in the past couple of weeks. Anytime I've found myself in a tight spot, it was after ignoring strong feelings & signs to make excuses for ill behavior on the part of another.

Got a lot done today... I was just on a roll & everything went better than planned. It's always nice to be in the zone.

If I want gator/frog eatin' neighbors, I could just stay in FL. :sunglasses:

Which places were you thinking, states with no income tax? FL has no income tax, but weather is brutal & COL/rents are very high... my rent is going up by at least $600, but I'd be leaving the apt/state, anyway. This Covid world has changed a lot (crime, homelessness, jobs)... it's doubtful I'd ever venture back to CA at…

Welcome Gaber... You might want to post this in one of the other forums... General Health or Goals. This is the Chat forum. Good luck & congrats on your weight loss!

I'm a bit squeamish. So, I believe you, but...

Lolol. Cleaning? Sure, no problem. Winner, winner, chicken dinner! :smile:

Ummmm... you bet on the cleaning. And, while I appreciate the hospitality, I'll pass on the amphibians. An espresso would be nice... hold the chameleon. :smile:

Relocation in 5-mos. I've lived in 11 US states. Change is good. But, where to go at this stage of life? Would be nice to settle someplace for good... my restless, gypsy genes always seem to toss themselves in the way. Sooo... toss a dart at a map?

I do have a stungun, but... someone needs to be within arm's length. I always feel my best chance for protection is speed... running like a frightened deer away from danger. If someone's hands are on me, it's going to be a lot harder for me to stave off fright to act fast. And, I realize my nerves are on edge right now,…

Video not available... is it Fever? For me... the band is Washed Out, the song "Amor Fati". Different kind of vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fYnfE5Cycg

Mad cleaning. I seem to be the most efficient stain remover, of late. I'm scrubbing floors, spraying & washing lipstick, espresso & splatters from clothing, throwing my madd skillz on old stains of all sorts (paint, black marks, marker, stubborn gunk on the patio or doors here long before I was)... I'm afraid to stop &…

Recently, several women have been attacked when walking the perimeter of our apt complex. The same happened to me a couple of days ago, but as a lifelong big city girl & the most untrusting person I know, I could spot something not right & when the car stopped with 2 young men asking me for directions (men don't ask women…

Hey, thx for this. Never heard it before. Tomorrow morning, I'll be exercising to this. I need some new cardo/walking tunes. :smile:

Yeah, sadly, that's the issue. It's not a one size fits all, even in my own house. I have 10 pillows on my bed now... all sizes, some softer, some firmer. Occasionally, I have nights where I toss & turn like a porcupine on fire & switch out 3-4 before I give up & use none... just the rolled up towel under my neck. My fave…
