I'm just sayin. Texas is hot. I live in Florida, worked outside on a dog farm, with no air conditioning in the damn house for two damn years, and when I went to Panama in the national guard in the summer, there were heat injuries in my company and I was happy because it was nicer than in Florida.
And I say that Texas is hot. 95 degrees at 9:30 pm on a July evening hot.
But that's kewl; maybe I'll drive down there and meet you guys IRL.
I prefer the heat to the cold. I could not deal with teh amount of snow that you get NC and up. :PI hope so.
Cuz trees drop twenty dollar bills in Texas when dogs walk by.
HaHa!

I would hope so!!! Mapquest says your only 4 hours out! :)

Not in the least. Gawd, that was an awful show.Actually this is not that hard to believe.Voice-over actors crack me up. The best was when I was in Quebec and I saw an episode of the Simpsons translated into French. Marge sounded like some sort of elderly Parisian prostitute.My Russian friend just showed me the Russian dub of the 90s X-Men cartoon that she used to watch when she was a kid. Believe it or not, the voice acting was actually better in Russian.
FINALLY someone agrees with me. I have long waited for this day, good sir, and you have delivered it.

Just going to take a minute here and promote my friend's artwork, and also to ask:
Maybe Sarah doesn't know of him? *shrug*
I did see he had some work with FFG, so that does say something about the caliber of his work in the RPG industry.
He's met with Sarah at Illuxcon a couple of times, and I gave Sarah and a few other staff members some of his samples last Paizocon.

The best dub I have ever seen, and by best I mean so bad it wrapped right back around to entertaining, was Temple of Doom in Spanish. Watched it subtitled in a Mexican resort during a late evening on my honeymoon while the wife was tuckered out from our excursion to some Mayan ruins. The man doing the voice over for Indy was the same person doing the voice over for Short-Round, only in falsetto. I was laughing so hard I almost woke my wife up. Of course it might have been all the free liqueur.
Ah. We call those vicarages or parsonages or rectories. I assume the German word is a compound approx. 39 letters long with lots of linguistic doohickies.strangly it is a short word (but still a compound): Pfarrhaus
the longest official compound in german is (if I remember correctly):
Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesselschaftskapitänsprüfungsordnungsausschuss
(Danube Steam Boat Association Captains Exam Rule Delegation)
One doohickey? ONE? It's like I don't even know you people anymore.
Now that I think about it, when he got here to get my keys he was in his lounge pants and the chick who drove him over here wasn't his girlfriend Karri.
Am I going to have to kick his ass now?
Kick his ass? Are you MAD? What you have, my friend, is called leverage. Life is about to get quite good for you.
The way things are shaping by this time next year the Clan Moorluck should be living in Houston TX. The move must be made, gotta get out of this place.
...or not. What's wrong in MB, if you don't mind me asking? Or is it just time for a move?

What snow?

Myrtle Beach isn't a bad place to visit, it's just not a good place to live. There's really nothing here for us, very little chance to improve our life, for us or for the kids. After researching different places we decided on TX, and we already have friends, and some family, there. And since we know more folks around Houston it seems like the best choice for us.
So in answer to your question, a little bit of being sick of it here, and a little bit of it just being time.
But......... the Beach?!?!?!?!```````
But......... the Beach?!?!?!?!```````You mean our lovely brown sand and sparkling green water? Yeah, I don't do the beach, it's nasty, it's crowded, and I can't wear my boots.
Whatabout Bikini's? They have bikinis don't they......or is it better not to talk about those????

Sure, but I can see those anywhere! :P
Having water around, even green water helps
Nope.

Just make sure you visit and/or get a job lined-up ahead of time. Have a friend that recently uprooted from Columbus to Clearwater, FL because she was in love with being in Florida. They broke the lease to their condo they had for just six months and her husband moved in with his parents until he can find something down there. She landed a job, but what she thought it was and what she ended up doing were (by her words) horrible in comparison, so she's frantically looking for another one to get out of that one as soon as possible.
But good luck, nonetheless. If it weren't for my mortgage, I would have strongly reconsidered some of the job offers I did get that would've paid me to relocate.
But something is going to have to give next month that's essentially unavoidable. *sigh*

Not too far from a beach there, so if we get a hankering we can make a day of it! :)

I feel a little bit that way about Los Angeles. Great place to visit, great weather, but some of the things we haven't liked are things you just can't know until you live here. And I think the East Coast / West Coast divide is something we didn't really appreciate until we were in it. We feel a little displaced, to be honest.
Hence my and my partner's frantic applications to jobs in major Northeast cities.
*blink*
Afternoon all!
On the subject of moving, it seems clan Curtin will be relocating within a year or two when my wife gets promoted. I always thought I would miss living in Massachusetts , but more and more I am beginning to loathe this state. I'll miss the beach, but I'll settle for somewhere not so buck ass insane

I'm hoping for New Hampshire, but Upstate New York is a possibility.

Alas, Texas is not a possibility. I have spent time in the Lone Star state, and I am not certain that would be a good fit for my family.

Agreed.
AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!
Blegh.
I'm not sure which is worse at the moment. Studying for a quiz I need to take in just a bit or trying to pretend I don't feel the symptoms of the flu which I most definitely have.
And I get to spend the evening working on precalculus.
Again I say blegh.
Hopefully my stomach will feel better by then since there are pascki waiting for me at home. Ah, who am I fooling. Those are worth it even if they make me sicker. :)

New Hampshire has a TERRIBLE public school system, so if you've got school-age kids, probably not such a good idea. And if you need any tips on where to go in upstate New York, I can give you the straight scoop on just about any town north of Albany.
Congratulations, Shiny! That's great news. :)
