My wife hates the cold as well. She always says that she belongs in the south.

________ MaxPower, he has the name that you want to touch, but you musn't touch!
His name sounds good in your ear, but when you hear it, you musn't fear.
Cause his name can be said, in many different ways...

Just back from the Lexus dealer. I'm getting my timing belt done. Even though you pay a price for the service, it can't be beat. Then I went to get a walker for my mother-in-law and some compression stockings for my father-in-law. Over to Starbucks where they proceeded to screw up my order - well a part of it anyway. Oh well in the end it all worked out.

Say Warren, have you tried the Starbucks instant coffee. My daughter gave me some, and when you make it according to directions it tastes exactly like the store brew ... not saying that is a good thing, as I'm a Second Cup kind of guy, but it is remarkable ..... very expensive but remarkable.

Good evening Rp, Marc and Warren.
Lads, both the wife and I hate the cold too.
Well she does anyway, I just dislike, despise, loathe, castigate and revile it.
Rp: Good luck with the move. I know the downside of it.
I have moved 39 times since I moved out of my ma's flat.
Now I hope there will only be a few more moves until till put me in the ground.
Marc: Unpack those boxes lad.
Warren: I notised how important it is to have those major repairs done by an
authorized garage when I sold my van. Otherwise they want to cut the asking price,
so it's money save in a way.

Good evening Caman. Yep moving is a pain, but when you consider this will be our retirement home it isn't all bad. It is nothing like the move you are contemplating. I've looked at job offers in China and Korea but have been reticent about taking them [ as my wife's supply of meds is an issue ], that would be a move..... however your's is probably just as dramatic.

Not as dramatic as Korea maybe, but the problem is that we can't take that
much stuff with us to Bellevue. I want to bring my pots and pans.

Yeah I get that, if I took the jobs we would only take a token amount of stuff with us .... key being its not the going but the leaving that is the problem and in that area you might want to leave quickly.....

Warmer weather and cost of living. It also has a higher population of potential ESL students, so a job prospect seems good. For a small city it has a lot going for it.
Yes, those points make sense, Rp. Bon voyage.

Afternoon, Warren. My wife would not want to move to the US south, in that she does not like the high heat and humidity. The only thing that she likes about the weather here in St.John's is that it is not drying her skin as happened during the winters in Edmonton and Calgary.

Good Morning everyone... Yep, it's me again at 10:07am Calgary time! I've been waking up earlier since they "messed" with the time and that "hour back" it seems. It's the only way, and my body seems to know to get enough LIGHT to stay out of the dumps...
Don... curious... what does this do for it?:

I'm wondering because I still have my second laptop, a 333Mhz Pismo PowerBook G3 that after a period of sitting just refused to start up. It's certainly nothing like a logic board as the one in there is pretty much brand new... mebbe PRAM battery but MyMacDealer tech suggested leaving it plugged in for a lengthy period of time and see if it wouldn't start. They didn't specify, and I didn't persue it after it still didn't start after a two day period on the AC. There was nothing wrong with it... it simply sat w/o being used for about 3 months and *bliff** ... no start. Would a really long time on the AC perhaps if I'm lucky do the trick?
