I think you are probably right there, Nora.
Awesome tat, Allyson!
I moved away from my family 35 years ago or so. It could be we are closer because I was gone as soon as I was an adult.

So I got in at 8 for and 8:30, only to check email and learn it's been moved to 9. I shouldn't resent that, right?

Is it a New Jersey thing? [link]
...one out of every three New Jersey conservatives think that Obama could be the anti-Christ. To be precise, 18% of self-identified conservatives affirmatively say that Obama is the anti-Christ, with 17% not sure. Among the self-identified Republican label, it's 14% who say Obama has the number 666 hidden underneath his hair, plus 15% who aren't sure.

Now tagless for your comfort.
It's sad how right that sounds, Nora.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think the difference between moving as a good for change vs. ineffective thing can be understood by being aware of what is making oneself unhappy/stagnant. I have a book about changing your life to be a life you enjoy and the first task in that book is to write down 100 things that annoy you. It can become VERY clear if one's surroundings are holding you down, or if it is something else (like a job field, an addiction/habit pattern, yourself/attitude, spouse/mate). If you don't know how to be happy with yourself or the way you live your life, then it won't matter where you live. Kinda like budgetting. If you never learn to live on $X a month, then chances are you will still have difficulty on $2X (providing X is at least enough to meet basic needs).

This is pretty key, IMO. If you hate where you live, then moving is probably going to be a productive solution. But sometimes problems can follow you around.
I had some terrible sushi last night and am still feeling the results. Not full-blown food poisoning, thank god, but still pretty oogy. (Sushi Dan near Lincoln Center, FYI NYistas. That place has gone WAY downhill. The tempura was still okay.)
Allyson, the tattoo is AWESOME. Love it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Perkins!!
Does that mean it's the board's bday, too?
So there was nothing I needed to come in for yesterday, which is good, since I didn't come in, but now I see there was really no reason for me to come in today, either! Except that I'm already off tomorrow. Bleh.
