"If you plan it they will come" (let's all meet?)

[redhouse]

NewHomeHappy... I'm with you!!! Just one of the reasons I gave up reading the NJ forum.

[This sounds like a really nice idea Please be extra nice to the people who moved recently from NJ. FYI: I just read this quote below posted in the NJ forum. Do you know who wrote that? It's kinda mean

"You might want to rethink moving to NJ. The people are not pleasant...come on you guys, do not lie to the poor fellow. The women are rich snobs, the kids are spoiled rotten and the men are just as bad as the women. Do your homework. Most people are fleeing NJ and moving to DE and PA."]


Yes it is kind of mean! We are leaving NJ because of the high cost of living and the congestion and manic pace of life in the NYC metro area. NOT because of the people. Sheesh, that's my family and friends they're talking about.

Put us on the party list! redhouse and redhouse-kiwi

My house has got to be the cleanest one in neighborhood..lol. In 2 weeks I will finally have a vehicle and a neighbor might have a job for me ( not sure but cross fingers for me) and I wont be home everyday..woooohooo. Ok .. keep posting

Angel;
Good luck on the job. When I move there my husband will not follow until October, so I plan on being very lonely as well. I was planning on staying home and not working, but I don't think I will be able to handle it, so I plan on getting a part time job, just to get out to meet people, and have something to do.
Keep looking for a job, I am sure you will find one, and that will be a great way to make friends.

Plus don't forget the party!!!!

Angel, when I was married we lived in a little suburb of Ojai CA which is little to begin with and my car was down. I would try to walk to the little market each day just to get out of the house but with no grown up contact (had a 1 year old at the time) it still did do it for me. So I started to take my husband to work one day a week so I could have the car. It helped so much just to be able to drive down to Ventura and do what ever, shopping, window shopping, stopping to see a friend. By the end of the day my frustration level was down to a 3, when it started at about a 9. If your husband has the car see if you can take him to work one day a week, even if it is across town. Maybe time it for a day when you can go to the flea market. I wish you the best and I hope you can get out SOON.

PS: it took my ex-DH three months to fix my car, only after his car started acting up. Guess I didn't fuss enough.

Hi. Ty very much. I would take him to work but he works all over north carolina and he needs vehicle for his job. But in 2 weeks I will get the use of his truck and he is getting another. I am hanging in there. Thanks to the posts here and people such as yourself helping with encouraging words. I appreciate it very much. I go for walks everyday and that helps a bit but I want a job to get out and on y feet and meet new people. Hope to see you at the meet Thanks. Kim

I've posted a new thread entitled "New Raleigh Area Folks that Want to Meet Sooner than Later". If anyone here wants to do a mini-meetup prior to the big meetup, please reply to that thread.

Hi Redhouse, I can't say who wrote that. But I can say that it's one of your new NC friends on this thread (you know the type who who bad-mouths their current State NJ then brag about their new State NC) It's kinda funny. I think the poster herself has personal issues and just wanted to dump her negative garbage before running away to NC. Kinda like a rich snob.

Regardless, it was mean. I just wanted to warn you all about your "new" NC neighbors. Watch out. You all sound like a really nice bunch of people. But Certain people have issues in every State they lived in. These issues will plague them where ever they go. Thank goodness she's not my neighbor. LOL We NJ gals would see right through the phony baloney. Have a great party & you give that former NJ rover a big ol' hug from me.

Thank you NewHomeHappy. Like I said, that's my family and friends being talked about. Including the ones who live in Brick.....
