Mesa/Gilbert/ Do you live there? Help!

[yakijy]

My brother-in-law, George, had a work related back injury in Chicago, and could barely walk. He moved out here, and it is almost 100% better now! I developed asthma in Chicago when I was 36, on a hot muggy day. I slept sitting up, walked a few steps, then had to stop, etc. I went to St Joseph, and they immediately gave me adrenalin and emergency treatment. I could have died if I waited too long. I never thought I had asthma. After that I had a constant cough and fluid in my lungs. I felt it was just something I would have to live with (I was always afraid of getting a job where I would be sitting next to someone who could not stand my coughing). That all went away when I moved out to Scottsdale, but pollution is increasing as more and more people move here. My wife had sinus headaches that made her miserable and prompted trips to the emergency room. That all cleared up for her out here. So, while it can be hot, remember, it's a sauna, not a steam bath, and pollution here is better than Chicago. For a city to city comparison check out this site: Compare Two Cities, City Profile Report, City Comparison Tool.
I took a trip out here by 'mistake' in 2001. I had booked a hotel in Miami, but when I found out it would be raining all week, I reluctantly booked Scottsdale, which I had no real interest in, but at least it was sunny. I fell in love with the place - the wide open feel, uncrowded steets, pleasant people, great weather, cheap housing (ok - that's changed, but still you get more bang for your buck than Chicago). When I moved here, I went to the post office in Scottsdale, where you have to take a number and wait, and there were a lot of people. I made a comment to myself like 'O my God I can't wait that long' and a woman came up and gave me her number! Imagine THAT happening in Chicago!
The friendly service really takes you aback when you first get here. Lately it seems to be getting more rude - must be all the Californians and New Yorkers, certainly not the Chicagoans! (ha ha).

I would be taken back also if someone was that nice to me in Phoenix. I can't say I've encountered too much of that there. Are you sure the lady didn't give you the number because she decided she wasn't going to wait anymore and was headed out the door


I'm glad your breathing got much better in Phoenix I know my dad was a new person with his Arthritus but my husbands breathing was another story in Phoenix. I guess everyone is different.

PLEASE tell me you change your filter!!! (you do have one, it's probably in the ceiling) It isn't intended to clean the air, it's main purpose is to keep dust from returning to the unit. If you don't replace it regularly, your a/c can't 'breathe' and will die an early, ugly and expensive death!

This is a 3 yr old thread bumped by a one post spammer. So its safe to say they probably dont need help anymore.
