Thanks everyone for the warm welcome & wishes ... Prior to moving I was trying to get acclimated to the site and be a bit more active. I've enjoyed so many of the posts! Since I'm trying to figure it all out I'm not so sure how the "multi" quote function works and didn't want to overwhelm by responding to EACH response individually soooo ...
To answer your questions, suggestions, etc ...
I moved to TX for a myriad of reasons: (
@LittleMaryJane)
- The cost of living alone is worth it! My rent in NY was 1800$ ... here? A fraction of that!
- The warmer weather is a plus (never having to dig my car out of a dirty snowbank is AWESOME!)
- Job market (if and when I ever decide to return to work -- I stay home to care for my youngest son who has special needs) seems to be plentiful
- Lastly ... my BFF/Love of my life moved here in 2006 (he is also the father of my youngest) and airfare was getting CRAZY! LOL!
I'm in San Antonio (
@marajode) it just lacks CULTURAL DIVERSITY!
The "bar" scene isn't for me (
@LMD84) ... can't even use the I'm-too-old-for-that-now excuse because even in my younger years ... it wasn't for me, but thank you for the suggestion.
Lastly ... Those of you in my area (
@Kaliraksha &
@paparazziboy) ... Keep in touch! Let's get together sometime!
Thanks again for the warm welcome & wishes!
