WHY I HATE PHOENIX! Or is it Feeniks? (Scottsdale: vacation, job)

I was in constant fear that someone would end up coming from the opposite direction and I would end up in the Irish Sea while trying to give them room to get past, LOL! I won't go into the wacky drivers, other than to say I have no idea HOW they manage to pass a driving test.

Oh, how I long for an Arizona highway or surface street. Once we get back home I'm going to be happily driving all over the place

We are getting more of these out here. I was so scared the first several times of using them. They are at the off and on ramps on the I-17 at Happy Valley RD. They are probably considered mini ones from what you may have. People still can't figure them out. They become a lot of fun once you're used to them.

I LOVE the traffic circles. You have to be delayed for 20 minutes or so at a four way stop to appreciate how efficient these are at moving vehicles through moderately busy intersections. Some people are intimidated and that causes problems (and gives me yet another reason to curse at and feel superior to other drivers), but I'll take them over stop lights and 4-ways any day.

Oh my god! No way?!?! I hope they don't put any in the East Valley area. I'll become confused and think I'm back in the UK, which could be detrimental to my mental health, LOL! If I get stuck going round and round on a round-about while trying to find my local Taco Bell I am not going to be a happy camper! Yes, I admit it, I love cheap Mexican food. My secret is out for all to see

I'm just the opposite. While we are driving (or trying to drive!) I find myself missing those four-way stops and stop lights

I love Phoenix too, it's a great city and is very beautiful.

I love Phoenix!!!

The best shopping and best weather in the whole world.

I love the big malls and movie complexes. They are so nice. The weather is nice too. I mean REALLy nice. Why would anyone want to live anywhere else? They are supid. I was born and raised here and would never want to leave. The women here are the best. They may not read much, but they work out at least four times a day - and it shows, trust me. There is great culture in Phoenix, contrary to what the naysayers may say. There is Diamondbacks, Coyotes and Cardinals - all three are available! And some clubs in Scottsdale that are the coolest. Far better than New York. I feel sorry for all the losers who live in colder bigger cities with other things.

I heard Jenifer Aniston bought a place in Scottsdale. This confirms that we are the coolest.

Wow! You've got some seriously high standards! I'm with you - women who read aren't nearly as great as women who work out 4 times a day

Wow, 4 times a day?? Olympic athletes don't train that hard, that is amazing....lol.

She must have heard that I am relocating to Phoenix, she has been stalking me ever since Brad dumped him!
