RE: This is About That

Back to LA, SAY WHAT? I love the coastline, but LA, just too crowded, too expensive and too plastic for my money. Maybe hit the hills, of northern California, but you know the landscape much more than I do, so good luck with the new roof search.

I am happy to hear Driver is doing well, life can be so harsh sometimes. I lost my parents within 18 months of each other, with Bob's dad then his mom sandwiched in between, it was a really tough couple of years. Then we had a rash of my boys loosing a couple of friends right after was laid our parents to rest. Those young men's deaths really floored us. Then we lost my nephew, 22 years old, just fell to the ground while jogging, gone before they could get him to the hospital. Found out he had a heart defect that was never caught. In fact we had to have all my kids as well as his brothers and sister checked for the same defect , it was a genetic thing. Thank God, everyone else was fine. It's hard to bury your parents, but there are no words to describe how painful it is to bury the young. I still cry sometimes when I think of those young men. Then just a few months ago we laid to rest my youngest son's BF, just 36 y/o, my boy is still having bad days of that one.
Yeah I am with you, I am tired too of people dying.
Sorry I just went off, but I couldn't help myself.
Anywho, have a pleasant day.

@farm-mom, thanks for coming back. I've been thinking of a more appropriate response to "LA is too crowded." Firstly, it's very crowded.

This is just my opinion, you're obviously wiser than me. Having lived in several countries and stayed inside the US both in the sticks and in the city. What it comes down to me, personally, the more privacy I have, the less culture. Nearer the city, more culture, less privacy. Not that one is better or worse, I just prefer more culture. Like more-more, right in the middle of the city more.

Muah! Thanks for listening.

I hear you for sure. I lived my whole life in North Jersey just, 25 miles from the Big Apple, NYC. We went to the city all the time, loved the concerts, pro games, museums, restaurants, the shopping oooh, the shopping. If I was your age again I would still be living in the suburbs and playing in the city. So, yeah enjoy the culture. As for myself, the country is the place for me, of course, there are some cities I could surely visit to enjoy the culture, but privacy is what I enjoy.
Nice talking to ya.
