Who you callin' a fart? hahaha!

28 years (my entire life). Too long. NY is cool to visit, but it's too fast-paced and intense for me. I'm thinking somewhere out west. The mountains, the snow, the desert. Colorado, Wyoming, Arizona, etc...

Wisconsin is nice.... well not really. Nevermind

I didn't mean you, babe.
28 better not be "old fart" material. (Cause I'm almost 26 myself. )

Nice weather here in Nevada....................and no state income tax.

You want cold come up to Toronto...we are hurricane free for over 200 years!

Cost of living is pretty good as well if you consider the exchange rate.

Hey GG, Do you have a nother pic with out the scary red eyes.
And what about these before and after pics Ive heard about?

You know what? I've actually considered going canadian. Especially in the past four years... I'm not even kidding.

How's the weather? In other words, what percentage of the year do I have to spend shoveling snow?

HAHHAHAAH "Scary red eyes" - sorry about that. That's the only one i have on my computer at work, which is of course where i was when i first started slacking around and posting on this website.

The before and afters - also at home. I will post something. soon. eventually. I'm taking new pics in two weeks, so maybe i'll just wait and post a series of before, 4 weeks, 8 weeks...

It's not spectacular - trust me. But it's something I'm proud of because historically I've never stuck with anything long enough to see results.

I feel younger today than I did a few years ago... if that means anything :-)

"30" used to sound ancient a few years ago, too, but now, not so much!

The nice thing about Toronto is we have a lovely pollution shield that keeps all snow away. Seriously, it only snows here about four months badly, rains for two and the rest of the year the weather is fine. The snow is bad for a few days and then gets shovelled or it rains and it washes away. Plus downtown we have a network of tunnels so you don't even have to go outside.

If you ever want a personal tour I'd be sure to free myself up for a couple of days

A network of TUNNELS? Are you serious?! Haha!

thanks for the offer. I'll let you know if I ever decide to travel out there. I have some family who is living there. They came from cuba last year. I haven't even met them yet.

and it smells like a toilet bowl. Seriously. You step off the bus and you're like "WTF is that smell?" And then you realize it's human shit.

I didn't notice the smell when I visited. haha! Maybe it's because miami beach smells like human waste too.

you could give up the hurricanes and come to sunny southern california and prepare for earthquakes instead.

Sounds like fun! At least it's over in half the time a hurricane takes to even get here!

Hey, all joking aside. Serious question, nikegurl: how DO you prepare for an earthquake? i mean i thought they just HAPPEN without warning. If that's not the case, enlighten me. I thought there was no way to predict one coming. And what could the news possibly say, even if they could predict one? "Brace yourselves folks, and put away the expensive china because this one's a doozy..."

Connecticut smells like, "Where the fuck am I? How did I get so lost on my way to new york?"
It's a lovely aroma.

No, you New Yorkers escape to Connecticut. That's why so many of your weathly workforce live in CT's Litchfield and Fairfield counties.

A fellow Cuban? I have counted 3 of us so far, even though I was born in Venezuela. My whole family is Cuban....Where is Raul (Katamaster)?
Yes people, we are a plague. We are all over the world...

Well in any case, be safe GoalGetter. Looks like this next hurricane could be the worst of the three.
