I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

If you could move anywhere, where would you go?

Domestically, I've been shooting for Traverse City, MI. (I like snow.) It has Lake Michigan, a foodie scene, music (Interlochen is just south of there), and what looks like a solid bookstore/library setup.

Outside of the US, there are a lot of places I'd like to check out before making a final decision. But I occasionally fantasize about finding a Santorini-esque Greek island that's a little less tourist-ridden.

Traverse City is beautiful. In the summer, Charlevoix is one of the most beautiful places there is.

I suspect I belong in the Pacific Northwest. I never liked heat, but I like it less every year. I have no desire to fight snow and ice, though. It's pretty hard for me to make plans these days, though.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You don't have a temperature preference? Population density? Language/cuisine?

I have actually given this a lot of thought and I don't think so. I think a wide variety would work for me, and nowhere would be vastly superior to anywhere else.

Granted, I have not actually experienced that wide a variety, so maybe I am wrong, but given the data I have that's the conclusion I have come to.

If you could move anywhere, where would you go?

I like cities near large bodies of water with diverse food scenes and good public transportation. Preferably near an airport hub. If I have to move, I may as well go someplace with milder winters, which makes San Francisco a pretty good choice if it wasn't for the cost of living.

Cobble Hill, about 5 blocks south of where I live now, or Red Hook, about 25 blocks south.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Daisy Jane, complaining about the current frigid winter in Texas, posted on FB that it wasn't fair, because we sure don't live here for the politics.

Our wings are not tired.

I have to be warm. DH's best friend went for a short visit to Jamaica to take care of family stuff a year ago and at this point I don't think he is ever coming back. If I say I am off to visit Sean, know I may not return either. He lives in Whitehouse, which is coastal from my understanding. He says there is a lot of fishing there, which would suit DH.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I would live somewhere with like-minded people. That is what is killing me most about my current location, no tribe. Also very little near nearby good food.

For me it would be ideal to not have to choose one. DH loved being a military brat and living different places, and I enjoyed moving about back when I did that frequently. For a long time we have been anchored by business and family, but that chapter will be closing before long. Then I think the nomadic life would suit us just fine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My coworker was just saying if we have another winter like we had last year, she's moving to Rwanda. Which makes sense if you work here.

msbelle, on the stopping-meds front, just please keep an eye on yourself, because if you need meds, you should take them and not quit just because you feel like it! I am just saying.
