I could'nt agree with you more. The Cali forum has no group feel to it. No fun posts either like the Mo forum. Thats why it would have been hard to stay away. I even post on the movie thread once or twice but still...nothing!
Mo has people instantly hooked and there is a sense of cyber family. Mo in the bestes!

I would like to thank you all especially you L.J for putting up with us and answering all our questions. I came in here full of questions and now I think I know more about Mo then I do about Cali. Its been real fun and maybe in a few more years we will be able to call Mo home. Thanks again.

Hey Bent I share your feelings. We found a place we really loved, was just excatly what we had been wanting but turned out our time was right either. Hang in there, we'll both make it to Mo one of these days !!!

No, We are in the very northwest corner of Arkansas. But we do drive thru Elkins to get to our cabin.

It takes us about an hour, maybe 45 mins to get to our cabin from Elkins. It's 15 acres but we are trying to sell it to get the money to move to Mo. We were there this weekend and saw 8 different bears, including a momma and 2 cubs. Watched them romp and play for almost 2 hrs. Got some really good pics and video of them.

I love this thread N.V Its just perfect me and my husband who supposed to be working!
GET TO WORK FRANK! .

I was talking with him the other day about pet peeves. You know I hate. I hate when he leaves the little soap chips on the bathroom sink. Drives me crazy. I could care less about the toilet seat. Its those stupid little soap chips. USE THE PUMP AND THROW THOSE THINGS AWAY, THIER DONE!

What are your pet peeves?

[Northwoods Voyager]

Probably one of mine is that 'my' tools disappear. DH takes hammers, screwdriver, etc that are in the house, to use somewhere else, and does not bring them back here. Then I have to go looking in his tool shed for MY tools. Minor one, but can be frustrating when I am in a hurry.

Sometimes it's necessary for "cooler heads" to observe what really needs to happen. There is a reason your not ready for the move yet, but there is also no reason for you to leave this forum! I understand your Mom not wanting to leave her grandbabies...I'll be leaving 6 behind when we move sometime next Spring...that will be the hardest thing of all...one I will be closer to and may get the chance a few times a year to visit.....I would of moved yesterday, but financially we're in no position right now to do that either....so, hang in there, it'll happen!!
