[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.
AlphaBits:
Aimee, what Trudy said about buying a home in Philly is absolutely true, but I will say this -- apparently buying in Philly proper is heavy on taxes. Now, that could be true of LA, too (I have no idea) but it's just something to consider. Houses can be cheap (way more than LA, definitely) but taxes are high.
Phillies fans regularly booed Mike Schmidt. The greatest third baseman in baseball history and a Hall of Famer. They're notoriously the meanest hecklers in the bleachers too.
I only know of one who doesn't even keep up her lurkerdom status.
Typo Boy/Gar is in Portland.
So is my ex-GF, another ex-roomie and JZ's brother and SiL.
how would a move affect MM's employment situation?
It's possible he can transfer. Might be a different job, but possible transfer. It's a key thing in our decision. With the wee-one, moving without the promise of employment is less exciting and more panicky.
If we were to buy a house out there, I'd probably follow the lead of most of my co-workers out there - buy in Jersey. Plus, Philly has no sales tax!

Not all of us.
Yay, Matt’s mom!
You would be, after all, moving to a place with lots of winter and way too many Eagles and Phillies fans (the meanest fans in all of sports).
Really? Raiders fans seem pretty barbaric and mean to me.
And not LA suburbs. Suburbs, suburbs. It's where I was raised, it's what I know. I need people who smile back at me as they walk past.
South Pasadena, dude. Well, it’s true that a lot of LA suburbs are just cultural extensions of the city. But South Pas. Has something special. I’d still be there except it’s also in LA.
I don’t smile much at strangers on the street but it comes of having lived in a lot of poor and dangerous areas ever since. Smiling here can make you an easy mark. Or a crazy person will follow you around. This happened to me just last weekend.
But it sounds like you’re really excited about the move, Aimée. Much luck~ma to you!
“So, where are these 'Find Your Spot' quizzes?” says Skippy McSkimmerson
Good news, beth! Lots of no-relapse~ma!
Typo Boy/Gar is in Portland.Oh cool. I haven't seen Gar around in ages.
Everyone talking about post-grad stuff, how we've live, where we've lived, then testing to see where the internet quiz wants us to live is making me sort of giddy again at the prospect of doing it myself so soon. Terrified too, of course.
Great news about Matt's mom! Thank you for letting us know, beth.
Really? Raiders fans seem pretty barbaric and mean to me.I suppose it could be partially because I am in San Diego, but the only football weekend that I loathe is the Raiders game.
The arrest numbers spike along with the violence. I am always so glad once the teams and fans go their seperate ways. It's more than a rivalry, it makes for some real unpleasantness.

Except, of course, for Flyers fans.
