Yes its an awesome place to be :)

John in Scotland, recent hermans divorcee :(
Hello John! I'm Anne, currently living in North Florida. In fact, I have lived within the same 45-mile radius all my life, with the exception of the three years I lived in the UK. That was more than a decade ago, but there are still times I get a bit nostalgic and homesick for that side of the pond.

We (the more recent CDR roomies) have heard lots of good things about you, and I am glad you're back in the CDR so we can interact more directly. :)

Dying Easter chicks or ducks is a common practice here in the us.. hatcheries inject thousands of eggs in Easter colors and ship out the babies to farm market stores during the holiday season. They sell like crazy but all the babies eventually loose their Easter dyed baby fluff and the normal feathers come in like every other regular bird:)
Some states prohibit dyeing chicks, even bunnies, and other baby animals. I don't think Florida allows it.

I have pretty much stopped carrying a bag unless I really have to. I have a couple of backpack style “purses” (as you Americans call them) which I only use if things won’t fit in my pockets.
I carry a small purse inside my backpack, and the backpack travels with me most everywhere. When I go shopping, I carry the purse, but the backpack stays in my vehicle.

I tend to travel heavy. It probably comes from my emergency management background.

Good morning everyone. I thought I was all caught up here and found a lot of posts I have missed. If I didn't respond to any of you. I didn't realize.
Anyways another doctors app. today. This is for my breathing. What ever that kind of doctor is o_O. I have gave up trying to remember the difference between the specialist :(.
Thanks for my wife Rose to keep everything in order.
Hope everyone has a great day!
Good luck Ray. And I don't know what they are called either. It's a good thing that Rose knows.

I have never heard about that. What dye do they use?

No Rose didn't make her bag. My mother in laws name is Mirla but we call her Nanay.
My best friend's name is Nawatha but we call her Nay. So that will be easy to remember. I always hate something I make at first. I am my own worst critic. Our family also used to call my grandmother Naynay. I've also had only one other Rose in my life. She was my mother in law. We were really close and I miss her to this day. It's strange but nice how the CDR mimics my life.

I tried a really cute backpack too and my pockets won't work for what I have to carry with me when I shop...or I wouldn't be carrying one either.
