[SkiChick]

where you from? Born: Banff, Alberta ... moved a few times up there; Rockies of MT ... moved a few times within the western part of that state; then we came east in highschool to Stamford, NY; went to college in Saranac Lake; and am currently living in Gorham, NY. Soon to move again to Northernish NH!!! My family's never been the settling type.

do you like NH? Was that a question!!!?

are you a native? Uh, no

what gets your goat about NH? Nothing ... I have no goats

what you like best about NH? Mountains, skiing in the mountains, hiking in the mountains, solitude in the mountains, the people and activities are amazing ... love it all!

what you do, where you live, any kids, favourite sports team, favourite sport, hobbies, where you would hate to live, worst place you ever lived, best film(movie) basically anything for a chit chat? I have been married for 9 years and if all goes well, we will be celebrating #10 in NH, we have twin girls; I have an architecture degree; job 1: CADD Detailer in the woodworking business, job 2: photographer (I'd give my website, but don't think I'm allowed), job 3: ski race coach. The worse place I've ever lived was Jamestown, NY ; TV?: It's a box that has one purpose and that is to brainwash people, especially kids, into wanting things they really don't need! I do enjoy watching documentaries and movies that are based on true stories. The most recent movie I watched was Fly Boys ... really good.

And yes - the internet is a wonderful thing for this business!

Your right but more people will know what your talking about if you stick to the old fashion vocabulary. I don't work for a company online though. I type for a local Rehabilitation company here in FL who has 12 clinics but it is all transferred by internet so when i move back to NH my job will be coming with me.

By the way, i guess i didn't understand the question of "what gets your goat of NH". i thought it meant a good thing. Well .... i happen to like goats so that's why i put down the 4 seasons and my family. Haha. Kind of funny in a way if my family got my goat.

Danielle - That's what made it nice when we moved - I brought my job with me - hubby had to find another one, but I can work anywhere, as long as there is high-speed internet!

LOL about the "get your goat" - I knew the phrase as my family always used it...I wonder where that phrase got it's origin.......

I agree. I love having such a portable job. My husband has 2 job offers when we get back. They are waiting for him and said they will move someone over to make room for him. He just recieved his automotive technician World Class GM achievement award this year so they both really want to get him in their dealership. There's only 1500 people in the country who have achieved that award so it's quite an achievement. So as long as people keep bringing in the cars to get worked on, we'll do alright.

[countrylv22]

I have not seen you post in some time, glad to see you are back!

Good & friendly thread! Thanks for posting it!

Thanks for the kind words!

I am still trying to move to NH, will probably be in 2008, before the FALL

I love the 4 distinct seasons & my favorite ones are Fall & Winter!

I do not care for HOT & HUMID places either!

I will answer your thread later, just thought I would say THANK YOU & HELLO!


CHEERS!

[nicolem]

where you from, ? I currently live in Laconia NH-just escaped from Concord-Thank God!
do you like NH? Yes
are you a native?No-born and raised at the Jersey shore.
what gets your goat about NH?People up here think if they are making a left turn that they have the right of way! What is wrong with these people. This happens almost daily to me, my husband and others. If I am going straight or making a right- I have the right of way!

what you like best about NH ? Open space, independent spirit. A lot of things that I like are starting to change and I hope that reverses itself in the next election.

what you do, where you live, any kids, favourite sports team, favourite sport, hobbies, where you would hate to live, worst place you ever lived, best film(movie) basically anything for a chit chat?
I have no kids- a hubby and a crazy cat. My favorite sports teams are the NY Yankees and the Philadelphia Flyers. My favorite football team is the Redskins(much to my father's dismay) but I am married to a die hard Packer fan and I love Brett Favre. He is a real man and a real quarteback-not many of them out there these days! My father-in-law's hs football coach was Vince Lombardi-that is how someone from NJ becomes a Packer's fan.

Worse place I ever lived was Concord. My hobbies include politics, current events, running and weightlifting, genealogy, watching football, baseball and hockey and going to many sporting events., hiking.

My favorite movies are older ones. I absolutely love Slapshot-could watch that a million times. Also Animal House and Fast Times at Ridegemont High. I also love to watch the Civil War movies made by Ron Maxwell who is a hero of mine for staying true to himself even while surronded by the hollywood commies. He is one of the true patriots in hollywood today.

where you from, ? The island of misfits I was born in Germany...my dad is from Jersey & my mom is 2nd generation American-Italian. I was raised in Cali. Can you please point me in the right direction!?

do you like NH? It's wicked beautiful & someday I will call it home!

are you a native? Nope, my hubby grew up in NH.

what gets your goat about NH? I've never been there long enough to find anything displeasing; although, I probably never will...DareToDream, how'd ya say it...I'm a Yanni?...aka Pollyannaish.

what you like best about NH ? Autumn, the White Mountains, North Conway, the American Spirit & History, Quintesstial New England charm, Kangamangus Highway, the Seaports...clam chowder, Thunder Storms, lush green trees, the fresh air...

what you do, where you live, any kids, favourite sports team, favourite sport, hobbies, where you would hate to live, worst place you ever lived, best film(movie) basically anything for a chit chat?

Hubby & I just celebrated our 13th wedding anniversay last week! We live in Cali & I'm a stay@home mom to two young boys, previously I was in Accounting & HR. I use to write policies & procedures...I'm rebelling now & tend not to be PC. I'm not a sports fan; however, I enjoy people watching & the enthusiasm of the fans amazes me, especially when moments are captured in pix. My hobbies are photography, scrapbooking, digi-scrap/PhotoShow & interior design. I would prefer not to live in the dessert...Cali is close enough! Don't have a worst place ever lived...remember Pollyanna

Movies: Polar Express, It's a Wonderful Life, Mona Lisa Smile, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean...argh!

I tend to babble...I'm not very loud in person & most people don't realize I'm being funny, maybe because I'm a little sarcastic.

Most CD members know me as Boo (thanks KatlaKat for the nickname) & someday I'd like to have a round with you folks too. Suzet, a Pinot Grigio please!

Salute ~~ Prost! ~~ Cheers, Boo

[Katlakat]

BOO!! We got married 10-26-02, and our "honeymoon" consisted of handing out sweets to the kiddies on Halloween. Mike bought me this little ghost in converse sneakers that wiggled and shouted, "BOO! Did I scare you? hee hee hee" it giggles like a little kid under the black sheet. Motion activated, so I heard all night, "BOO!!" in this little kid voice.

That night, I went around the house chasing my newlywedded husband tickling him yelling "Boo!" cuz I was driven nutz by this toy, and wanted him to enjoy the same pleasure. So Now when I say Boo, he responds with "TWEET!" meaning, "the ghost is booing, so get the sweets, the treaters are here." Ever since, we have been BOO & Tweet. We even sign our nick names on our Xmas presents to each other.

So you are my new BOO!!!!!

Woot!!

NH threads greetings RV

Where you from,?
Lots of places. Childhood just west of Albany, NY, became an old man in ‘Nam, existed for a while in NYC, lived in Londonderry, NH for last 25 years

Do you like NH?
Mostly I do like NH. I liked L’derry much more when it was way less crowded.

Are you a native?
Nope – ancestors were British and German

What gets your goat about NH?
Refusal to realize we are in the early 21st century and politics suitable for the early 18th century are no longer working.

What you like best about NH?
Lots of real countryside left. Most of it has not been Californicated.

What you do?
Environmental scientist currently specializing in Air Quality but have worked with water resources and energy projects

Where you live.
Londonderry, NH

Any kids?
Married for 39 years to same woman, no children, house dominated by really large Maine Coon Cat.

Favorite sport and team,
I like to watch auto racing and have participated in Maine forest rally a couple of times. Plan on getting a motorcycle next summer and using it for some video work.

Hobbies?
Politics, wood and metalworking, getting into video production (Annie’s thing), reading, commenting on stuff on this board

Retirement?
Would like to start, or become involved with, a business providing integrated alternate energy (solar, water, combined heat and power) systems for individual, condominium and smaller industry. I could do the technical but I would really need somebody to run the business. Also considering making a series of Videos of “Favorer Drives in NH” or anywhere else.

Where you would hate to live?
Any big city in the south (or anywhere else) like Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, etc. Want to retire to a small town in New Mexico. I really don’t like to be crowded. Too many people make me very nervous (ah, the wonders of PTSD – except I don’t consider it a disorder any more, I just consider it normal)

Worst place you ever lived?
On a Navy ship off the Mekong Delta, RSV. As a civilian I would have to say NYC. The place was turning me into a “New Yorker” and I could never get away from the crowds.

Best film (movie)?
I haven’t gone to a movie in ages except "Harry Potter" at an I-MaX in Hooksett. Currently TV fan of new Battlestar Galactica. We watch “How its Made” nearly every night because news just gets me way too upset.

Basically anything for a chit chat?
Anything you want to talk about.

Lots of questions and long answer.
