- I can't believe I will be a Florida resident in 14 days - this all seems a bit crazy to me - I have past the emotional stage and am now in "holy *****, I'm really doing this." So, to all my friends that I have met on CD, I thank you for being honest and offering so much help. I have a few other questions I would like to ask since it is likely that I will be living in 1 of 3 areas in relatively close proximity of each other (cooper city, weston or West Pines). Can you please answer these questions?

1. Where can I get my nails done well (mani/pedi)?

2. Eyebrows threaded (Indian ladies)?

3. Waxing - should I go to a spa for this or are there other reputable places?

4. Hair stylist?

5. Barbershop?

6. Pediatrician - please recommend one that you have actually been to and like or if you hate them tell me too - don't want to go to them.

7. Orthodontist - one that you have been to or have taken your children to and highly recommend.

9. Regular Doctor - same as above.

10. Private schools that you would recommend that will not break my bank - Christian and/or Catholic are fine - I imagine Lutheran is pretty close to that too.

11. Summer camps that you have sent your kids too or you know personally the people who have sent their kids to these camps.

I can't think of anything else right now, but please let me know what else you think I should know for the area. Thank you all again and I know some of this is repetitive, but you love me, so please help me out.

Muah - honey - you have been great and frankly, I owe it to you that I have a job! Robert Half was great - customer service lacked a little but I'm not going to make a big deal about it! So, the next time you are in your old neck of the woods let me know, I would love to to have lunch/drinks/dinner - on me!

Congrats, Chelsa.

I remember that feeling as I moved from upstate NY to Weston exactly 2 years ago.

I'm sure you will love your move.

One bad news is that summer already began here.

Ace - that isn't bad news - it was 42 this morning - where the hell was spring? I'm telling you there are 2 and a half seasons here Winter, summer and some semblance of fall and spring that are basically identical and last about 2 weeks a year a piece.
