I live near Palm Springs, and it's gorgeous, year round. Oh, as long as you don't mind anywhere from 100-118 degrees for 3-4 months each summer.
But it's a *dry heat* as they like to say, heh. Yeah, like the surface of the sun! Seriously, there is almost no humidity with the heat, which I do think makes a difference. I can't take hot AND humid.
The smart/rich people here leave for the summer and go to their nice cool homes in... Montana, or wherever. Then they come here for our nice, mild winter. (I don't even own a heavy coat.)
Not bad. But it's expensive here, and crowded.

I am in California
They have not called yet with results. I am hoping that is a good sign (it is 2:30 PM PST) as with a positive, you'd think it would be a RED FLAGGED biopsy report. I could call but the longer I do not know, the longer I can pretend everything is normal.
I have never been to California but
in Florida my husband and I love Destin. It is very family oriented. We love to stay on Okaloosa Island which is just outside of Destin but just a 2-3 minute drive from restaurants, etc. I would stay away from Panama City as that is where most of the teenagers go to party, but that is just my opinion.
California
Central eastern California in the desert.
until the DNA is done in California (case)....they had
Well I do NOT believe Stern is the father at all........but Bahamian law is vastly diffferent from USA law....unfortunately. But there is the DNA case in California ongoing......
I think they didn't want Daniel's DNA accessible and is why he is buried in the Bahamas. However, Larry Birkhead may very well be the father.......so we will all still have to wait until the DNA case is over in California.
Patience............the truth shall prevail..................eventually....even if it takes decades..........it shall surface one day.
Central California . . .
a cool 85 for the high predicted tomorrow - yipee - we haven't seen the 80s in many moons. Still in the 90s here. We all better enjoy it. The Farmer's Almanac is predicting record breaking heat next summer. Hope they're wrong.
Lots of flu in California
Flu vaccine only covered 40% of flu bugs so I hear.
Southern California $2.20-ish.

Vacations in California
Hi everyone,
The post below got me thinking...I live in WA, and I just wondered - from what I know, the nice beaches I know about in CA are private ones in Malibu. Are there any beautiful, clean beaches in CA that you can take your family to when on vacation? I love the beaches in Mexico, but would like to stay in the US. What do you recommend, if you live there?
California pizza
I always wondered if they were any good... now I can try one
Santa Rosa, California
Back in the mid to late 80's - I don't know what it's like now.
Picture this: vineyards, apple orchards, redwood forests, ocean 15 minutes away, average temperature 70-75 degrees year round.........oh, I miss it!!!
California Fires, so horrible. On FOX
they were just showing a San Diego reporter reporting on watching his home burning. He had lived there for 25 years. So sad.
Florida or California beaches
Which ones clearer? Florida as clear as ones in like Jamaica/MExico? What beaches are best for family vacation?
It depends where you live. In California, they
have beautiful mobile home parks with lots of amenities. The houses are so expensive there that many people are going to mobiles. In Texas, we have a lot of trailer park trash type places, but in Austin they are building really nice mobile home parks like in California. There aren't many of them though. A few other communities in other states are doing the same. They do depreciate, however. My husband used to sell them and many are crap. Check out ratings on the manufacturers.

I am in California but I remember 15 years ago sm
requesting to be placed in a non smoking area of the apartment complex. I guess I am naive - I thought they pretty much had to work with you on this as it is a disability - your asthma? It sounds like a chronic health problem. I am not really saying actual physical disability enough for the ADA but saying it is a health issue and your apartment management should be more cooperative. I do not agree with below posters who say nothing can be done.
Again, I transferred in California to a different district...
and it did not cost anything. I just had to catch the bus at an existing stop for the school I transferred to, which was actually 76 miles from my house, but the bus stop was only 11.
In California, it comes from driver's licenses...
because they don't want to discourage people from registering to vote.
California Pizza Kitchen
makes a very good frozen pizza; for a while I was hooked on the 5-cheese and tomato. You can just see the calories dripping off of it.
I was born in El Centro, California. I haven't
been there since we left when I was 7 years old (military brat). The town I graduated high school in is where I live now - I remember my senior year I couldn't wait to get out of this place. Seven years later and kids and I couldn't wait to move back - they have great schools!!
I may have to Google my birthplace and see if anything is like I remember. - thanks for the thoughts!
Hi; I was born and raised here, only went to college in California, my cousin recently......sm
bought a beautiful big house and land in North Carolina near the Virgina border, so much more for the $$$$, great area, I don't know about jobs because her husband is older and can take an early retirement, but it is very temperate there, usually lovely weahter, and not AS MUGGY in the summer as it is if you go further south, and also the seacoast is gorgeous. Hope this helps, God Bless, at least the days are getting longer here, it is actualy 53 degrees as I write this, I think the Winters get longer every year, though, in New England, even though I love NE. Take Care!
Limbo. Great song, great game. Also,
The girls all line up and walk through a room as if they are modeling on the catwalk. Get a couple of bright colored boa's from the party store. It's a real riot and the kids have a blast especially if a couple of brave boys grab a boa and do it too. We've had many a birthday party doing this and it was totally hilarious.
Wow!! What a great attitude! I love that - great perspective!

What great determination and help from a great friend! :) nm

I am sure that you are a great mother and a great cook,
and that you tried everything, now try the 'hunger diet'.
Great one! Thanks!! nm
nm
That's great!!
A great big congrats to your daughter! She is so fortunate to have such a supportive and helpful family!!
Did he say anything at all about how great a new job for you would be? I'd keep an eye on him as
s
Wow, that's great!
We had always said 3 and that's when we stopped. They are all teenagers now. Wouldn't change a thing either.
That was great.
I'm glad they did that. What fun. Not only was he thin, but his clothes were nice. No jump suit. I preferred his hair when it was his natural brown rather than the black dye job.
That's great - sm
I'm glad I don't need them anymore then! Also check with your state regarding laws about those things. For example, in Florida you are only allowed to borrow 500, in which case I would be weary of anyone offering more. Thanks for the tip - looks like you should be advising me!
Great, thanks!
I listen and take all ideas I can.
My mom did it and it looks great.
She did not fill in the cracks, and it looks great simply painted.
DS, he does a great job.
e
For her age, I don't think she looks great at all
isn't she around 20? She looks more like 30 and haggard half the time. Oh, and you too can have that body with the cocaine/alcohol-only diet! Get real!
She is such a piece of garbage. But they say her mother is too (was desperate for fame so pushed her daughter into the spotlight) and her dad as well (didn't he just get released from prison)?
Sad.
That's great! Another one sm
I haven't seen Chuck and Larry yet, but will definitely ignore the reviews and see it. I love good comedies.
Another one, if you haven't seen it, is the Wedding Crashers. I thought it was just supposed to be a silly romantic comedy, but my daughter and watched it on cable last weekend and I cannot remember the last time I laughed out loud, spewing drink laughing, in some time. See that movie.
I think it would be a great job (sm)
True they don't pay real high but you are at your kids school, no child care costs, good benefits, and summers off - sounds pretty good to me!!! They are hard to get where I live also though. Best wishes to you!
That was great. Thanks. (nm)

Great Job
There should be more people like you!
They have been a great help to me
in dealing with a similiar situation with a family member. Sometimes you hear things that you don't want to hear but the people in these groups have been in your shoes and they understand what you're going through like no one else.
I got to do this. It was great.
I contacted her because I was going to the 20-year reunion. I couldn't talk her into going, but I did get her to meet me for another trip back home.
There was plenty to talk about. It was great.
Have a great
weekend everybody
Thanks. Those were great! nm

They are not that great...SM
They are great for a while, but then if the DVD player breaks, you are stuck with a TV with a broken DVD player and end up having the buy a whole new DVD player. If the TV breaks, you are stuck with a DVD player that you can't use because the TV part is broken. I would not recommend getting a TV/DVD player combo. I know many people who had had these problems with them. I would buy each component separate so that if one thing breaks, you only have to replace that.
That was great! Thanks. nm
!
Great tip! Thanks!
Thank you for that website. I'm going to check them out. Thanks to everyone for all of your informative posts on this subject. You have all be very, very helpful. I appreciate you!!
That's a great one!...sm
Rhinoceros where stomping out fires (the fire brigade)...We wore the tape out watching it so many times...I suppose it's on DVD by now. Thanks for reminding me of that one!  Cat
This is great!
This is the greatest thing I have seen in a long time. I just cannot stop laughing.  I know I will remember this one for as long as I live! Thank you so much for this holiday memory. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL. (I did not mean to yell, just consider it a loud voice LOL.)
The Others is GREAT!
I saw Rosemary's Baby but not the other ones. Thanks for the suggestions. I am going to get the Mothman Prophecies and THEM! on sale on the DVD club too. One really good and the other a classic. I love sci fi too and got my kids all into star trek. The Borg are the scariest but they love it and so do I. LOL.
LOL. That was great! Thanks, V8. nm

That's great. You should both be
xx
Hi, Kim, that would be great!
Yes, the Casino is one in the same. I've actually never been there if you can believe that. My in-laws go there a lot to gamble. I wish I was in Georgia. I hate snow! My parents live in Utica. Small world.
