3. I live in the Middle East, but I moved here from Florida

last year.

[Lost4words]

6. Hey sorry didnt allow for the distance.

I lived in Flordia years ago, I actually lived at a small hotel on Miami Beach. I think it was at the intersection of Collins and 63rd.

Where are you in the ME,... I am in New Mexico in the Southwest US.

[clyrc]

I've never been to Miami

I lived in North Florida. I now live in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. I like it, when I'm not mad at the neighbors.

15. I feel the same way here in NM,

after living in the Washington DC Metro area for over 27 years.
Quite a current address you have, never been to the ME, it must be interesting.

[clyrc]

16. Very interesting

I meet people from all over the place here. Just on my block, we have people from Canada, Argentina, Burma, Sri Lanka, Jordan, Palestine, Egypt, France and other places.

I've been to Cloudcroft and Ruidoso (sp?) a few times, and loved it. I also went to Carlsbad Caverns when I was 8 months pregnant.

5. Your hubby is here all the damned time...

...can'tcha kick his ass off the computer? :P

Get to work! Start slacking! :D

[clyrc]

7. me slacking?

well, in my life, DU time is very productive. Slacking is more like staring out the window for hours.

[Lost4words]

9. I love slacking, my favorite passtime...

[GOPisEvil]

10. DU time productive...I like it! My boss might not...but...

[clyrc]

11. I definitely sound smarter after I've read threads here

I tend to be passionate but incoherent usually.

[GOPisEvil]

12. I resemble that remark sometimes.

Sometimes it's so much good information my head spins.

[clyrc]

14. that hubby you mentioned is pretty coherent

but after a while I get tired of playing wide eyed student to his prof act. Sometimes I actually read what he's thinking about here.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

8. Play the movie threads

You'll get there in no time flat.

[clyrc]

13. my taste in movies is sometimes stange, and sometimes

embarrassing.

[GaYellaDawgDem]

17. I hope you get there

...for me it will be a while. In late March I will have been here 2 years and you see how far I've gotten. I visit almost daily but I just don't talk much for trying to read so many threads before I get in trouble for spending too much time on the computer.

Good Luck! :thumbsup:

:toast:

[clyrc]

18. Thanks!

I had a few campaigns to write about for a while and I got most of my posts then. Now, I think people will get tired of reading I'm outraged and appalled! over and over again, so I don't post much.

[VelmaD]

19. Don't feel bad about it

I came to DU the day it opened in January 2001, didn't make my first post til June of 2001, and only had around 300 posts when they switched from DU1 to DU2. However, since then my post count has exploded.

Sometimes you just don't have a lot to say and that's alright. :-)

Good luck on your quest for 1000 today.

[clyrc]

21. If I could turn my urge to throw things at the television

into a thought worthy of a post, I'd have MANY more posts.

Thanks for the good luck!

[clyrc]

20. thirty nine to go now!

or 38, when this post is up

[Scurrilous]

23. Hey...

...you're neck and neck w/ me! I figure I'll get 1,000 sometime tomorrow. Good luck. :thumbsup:

[clyrc]

24. good luck to you, too!

22. Become a moderator...it'll do wonders for your post count.

:P

[clyrc]

25. I bet it would!

I'm not good at that sort of thing, though. I have a suspicion that being a moderator would just upset me.

[clyrc]

26. here are a few things about me:

I'm supposed to be on a diet now, but tonight I ate some cinnamon croissants and then some chocolate milk followed by half a large chocolate bar. I finally kicked the habit of going on a diet on Monday only to go off of it by Tuesday by moving to the Middle East, where Saturday is like Monday. So I go on a diet on Saturday and last til Sunday.

[clyrc]

27. more

my husband went off without me to the Dubai shopping festival,so in revenge I am neglecting his kids. Not really, I can hear every thwack a stick makes when they hit each other or one of the unfortunate neighbor kids. If I can hear them I'm not neglecting them!

[clyrc]

28. three more posts til 970

I'll settle for 970!

[Scurrilous]

29. Where did you live in North Florida?

[clyrc]

30. a teensy little town

called Florahome. It was pretty but I didn't like it. I is close to Gainesville and St Augustine, both of which I like very much, but even closer to Palatka, which I didn't like at all.

[Scurrilous]

31. I lived in Gainesville...

..for 9 years. We used to pass through Palatka on the way to the beach. Florahome doesn't ring a bell though. Must be really small.

[clyrc]

33. if you went to the beach through Palatka you went

through Florahome. There is a gas staion, plant nursery, thrift store and post office. That's it, except for several mobile homes and a few traditional homes. I got very, very, very bored there.

[Scurrilous]

35. Well...

...North Florida is pretty boring, Gainesville being the exception of course. Palatka hooked their star to the construction of the Cross Florida Barge Canal. When that boondoggle fell through, the area really never took off.

[clyrc]

36. my husband was born there and it's his home

the poor guy has such mixed feelings about the place, but I pretty much disliked it from the start. It isn't a good place to raise kids, but it took him a long time to see it. While we were there we tried our hardest to do our part to improve the area, but it didn't work all that well.

[clyrc]

34. I laugh every time I go to do my recycling here;

On a Monday morning in Florahome the roadside was littered with beer cans, and on a Saturday morning here the recycling bins are full of wine bottles. Slightly different atmosphere, you could say.

[clyrc]

32. 970!

I'm so proud

[clyrc]

37. ah well, gots to go

spend some time with the younguns, can't spend the rest of the night here! Thanks all for the help in getting as high as I did!
