[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I lived in CT for years - but if anyone was to go live there - new Haven, not hartford. Hartford still feels like an insurance town, wwhere the sidewalks roll up at 6:00

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Timelies. I hope beth is still resting and her MiL continues to improve. Welcome back, SA! I went to Portland for the first time over New Year's and I loved. I'm kind iof plotting to move up there, whici is a little silly as I just moved here, but it's got a lot going for it. I think CT came up for me on one of those Find Your Spot thing. All I know about it is via Gilmore Girls and Kristin, so I considered it, but DH vetoed early in the deciding where to live game.

I lived in a nice part of Connecticut recently. Unfortunately there was no Indian or Thai food within 45 minutes, which was a hardship. My Spot wants me to live in Danbury, CT, to which I say, no thanks. But the other top choices were good (#2, Northampton).
After I graduated from college I lived with my grandfather in DC for a couple of months and temped, spent 10 weeks in Sicily on an archaeological field project, traveled Europe with my mother for 2 weeks, then back to DC and temping while my grandfather drove around the country on a widower's odyssey, then did some for-pay archaeological work in the mid-atlantic region. Then to graduate school, which was a mistake even though I took a year off before going to make sure I wanted to. Oh well.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My spot wants me to live in Sheboygan, WI.
The only jobs available look like they are for AutoCAD drafters.
I am not an autoCAD drafter.

I grew up in the Danbury Area of CT. In Brookfield and Bethel. Not bad places. (that is where matt is now). 1 thai restaurant, 1 really good chinesse ( lets not talk about bad) , a couple of japaneese and sushi. We knew an Indian restaurant over the border in nowhere, NY. Best things about the area : Live music was easy to find,the Danbury fair Mall, October,24 hour diners. The worst thing- limited options. Everybody gets in to a routine- but it was so hard to break out of it - because there wasn't much else to do.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Seattle is attractive to me too.
The thing is: I'm pretty confident that eventually I want to live in Chicago. But there's like ten years between now and that eventually that I want to fill with *interesting* stuff.

Honolulu was my top spot.
followed by portland ,O, Little rock, Santa barbara, Santa Cruz, and Baltimore.
No Boston - which is where I would chose to go if I went back east. ( DC area second - but only if I got to work at the Smithsonian)
And while I think Santa Barbara is pretty, In a number of ways it reminds me of where I grew up. - a little isolated and insular...
