Are you gonna be able to spend some time on a beach up there????
Hope to get some beach time in Ani, that's if the sun ever shows its face up there...I lived about 10 minutes from the beach before moving here...maybe I can bring them some sunshine from the Carolinas!!
Happy Anniversary to us, 11 yrs of martial bliss [for the most part] - LOL!
Celebrating by doing yard work and killing Sphecius with a tennis racket in this apocalyptic heat.
Gasoline or carb cleaner is the only thing that kills them, BUT that kills my gorgeous lawn, hence the sporty approach.
Orkin, Terminix, independent pest places - no luck - kill them with a tennis/racquetball racket.
Probably end up at the pool.
If I do not have a heat stroke today, the girls will spend the night with their cousins tomorrow and the bride and I will have a wonderful date-nite to celebrate another year.
Hope you had a great day, Mullman! And congrats on 11 years of marriage (and a beautiful family to show for it!!!)

I hope you will have some fun in the sun!!!! Take some of this heat with you, PLEASE!!!
I just don't understand how you "detect a strong undercurrent of discrimination" here on this forum board. What I do detect is perhaps a poster (you) that is not informed about the Charlotte community, reading the tone of a forum board, asking people to divulge very personal information about their finances, not familiar with a particular way of life that existed just a few decades ago, or life in an affluent community in CLT or other affluent communties across America today.
I'm a bit put off by this post and one or two others you have made, namely where you suggested CD people need"to get over themselves". Here you continue down a similar path by asking one to divulge their financial and educational background. A tad rude. You suggest that unless "one lived on a street" their information was of no value" Really? How do you come to that conclusion? Posters "here seem to be of the same opinion, unbalanced and biased opinions". WOW, welcome to the living room of CHARLOTTE City-Data.Did you forget this is a forum on living in Charlotte and it's easy to come to a consensus from people that live, work and play here? For a person that doesn't even live here that's a pretty damning statement I must say. No, you said it. Why, I again don't understand. And last and not least your last line of gibbrish that suggest unless we member give more of our personal information, we are in engaging in "calling the kettle black . .BS".
There's a chip on your shoulder, maybe a log, I see it but don't know why it's there. In time we'll figure it out.
Susan, rest assure other posters on board are a lot more gentle than me and they will smooth over any of the feathers I may have ruffled on your back.
You see, I say what's on my mine directly and forthright. Isn't that what you were asking for?
Have a bright Sunny Day,

Susan: Just about anything you would like to know about johne482 is contained in my 1896 posts (one way or another). The 3% I didn't divulge really have to do with things personal to me. ie: color of my underpants, how many mistresses, weight, use of condoms or not, STDs I might or might not have. You know, things like that. EVERYTHING else can be viewed or can be gleened by you on this public forum.
You really need to understand this forum better and what it can do for you. People are not here to hurt you or mislead you. Whatever your problems are I don't think they come as a result of advise from this board.

I could only imagine what it would be like to wake up to her each day.
Let's pray: Thank you Lord for these blessings you have given me and that I enjoy .....

John, your reference was so ambiguous ("her") . . . it sounds like you are talking about me!!!! I sure hope my hubby wouldn't say he wishes he didn't have to wake up w/ me beside him every morning.
would hope you know me better than THAT!!!. You, my dearest and closest friend. My first friend and advisor on CD. Shame on you!
Hey, do you remember when you told me to back off of Doorway when I said :" Don't get your panties in a knot"?
The reference was made to the one "across the pond" (her geo. description)

Well, I wondered
Just got back from fishing and saw the "affluent AA" thread was closed. Man, I could have made a $100 bet this morning when I left that would be the case.
If you ever wondered about the Pol. forum and how it gets heated up, well, the last page or two of the closed thread is a mild preview.
I predict the next thread to get closed is the one of ""Snobiness". Reason being one poster on there has lost her prescription for her meds and when she goes postal. . . good bye thread. Really doesn't matter as OP has never been back. Kinda like eat and run.
City-Data rocks for me. I get information,laughs, insight to people's lives,and a whole lot more.

In response
1. Snobs come in all shapes and sizes- you don't have to live in what is considered a snobby area to be one
2.To make personal comments about an individual who dares to express an opinion that is in opposition to the consensus opinion is ignorant and in poor taste and I am sure that if ,as an "outsider", I had made similar comments I would have been shot down in flames and the thread would have been locked.
3.Thinly veiled attempts by another member to make the personal comment seem ambiguous in order to prevent the thread being locked gives the impression that they feel the personal comment is appropriate.
4.In response to the posts "I could only imagine..............to wake up to her every day" and "Reason being one poster on there has lost her prescription for her meds............."- I did indeed need to get a prescription today- for an anti-emetic.I also bought a very large bucket from the DIY store.
6.If I only have a log on my shoulder then I am grateful for that,afterall, looks like trees are fairly common around here
I'm just so touched that John is still thinking about my panties 18 months after posting about them for the first time. I'm not surprised, I'm just touched.

Those were the days when I wrote sarcastic remarks. I have since mellowed out and have come to understand that there are MANY people out there that have a different viewpoint than me. Heck, just look at the last Pres. election.
Thinking of returning to my old self. Have set a goal of July 1 to return to JE of old. Right now I have set a goal of catching some fish with the 11am incoming tide. Bye.
