Thanks for the photo Karcon and DE...it's so nice to see that we are actual, real people!! It sounds as if you had a good visit. I'm glad to know that a few of you are actually making progress - I hope congratulations are in order soon for NEG and Wisteria. I too had considered San Miguel Allende but determined it has been "discovered" so dropped it from my list. Someone here mentioned Huntsville, AL which is ironic as I took some quiz a while back and my ideal place to retire turned out to be Huntsville - a place I'd never considered and had never visited! Does anyone know anything about it? A couple of other places that have come to my attention are Rehoboth Beach, hm - is that in Delaware? and Ocean Springs, MS (also, Fairhope, AL, which is "right down the road a piece"). I can't wait to find out what the PERFECT PLACE will turn out to be! I just hope I'm not stuck here working until I'm 90 and can't participate. I'm glad to know everyone is hanging in there; I always enjoy coming back to "visit" this audacious, peppery group - as ever, thanks for all the great information! Now I'm going to go make some pasta and pour a glass of chianti...my very own early bird special.
Hi, Karcon here. My biggest problem is it is so dry and being from Florida I'm used to the humidity. But my hair looks great! !
LOL! Yes, it does well in the dry air, doesn't it?
How very nice to see your pic, Karcon, and wonderful you've taken the initiative to meetup!
I see you and dancingEarth both have profile pics. Well, I finally got brave enough to post one too. Truth is, I never had any decent ones to post! You guys look different than I expected. In fact, I think I expected Karcon to look like DE, and vice versa, don't know why...
Good to hear from you, Anomoly. I'm taking a short break (lot of catch up from an overly lazy winter). Nice pic as well. I guess it's my turn - I don't have a decent pic so I've threatened my cousin's daughter - "give my camera back or else!!!!!!!!!" She's absolutely terrified, I'm sure.
It's been quiet on this thread - everyone needs a break to regroup and refresh - or whatever. I, for one, am dm- sick of caring for a house. Happy to have one, but it is all consuming.
I really wish more people would post profile pics cuz it really enhances the interaction experience
I like it too but am reluctant to make it too public. I have had some trouble in the past and do not wish to stir up any thing like that. Maybe we should all friend each other and then close down our profiles to just friends. The whole internet is just a little too wide open for my comfort. I guess that is what the friend thing is really for since they put it up.
I thought about that as well - only allowing friends to view your profile. I hate to be paranoid about it but I try to picture what might happen down the road - we have been very free with the personal info sharing. Who knows - if I post, and I guess it would only be fair to all of you, I would set up my profile to be viewed by friends only. I will put this toward the top of my list of things to do................
ditto, between the personal info and personal pics, I'd love to go the route of making them a little more private. I'm guessing there's an option for that, friends only?

Yes, you may edit your options so that only friends may view your photos or information.

Glad to hear from you! It was great meeting dancingEarth and am glad I made contact to let her know I was actually in Santa Fe. Meeting her was very easy - she just that nice and laid back kind of person. We had a good get together before I left going to some Friday night gallery openings. Really enjoyable. Oh, and she is a very talented potter too. I am going to be posting some of my Santa Fe/New Mexico photos (hopefully this week). Actually meeting someone from the thread is the best thing to do, and I encourage everyone who has the opportunity to do so. We become real people!!! Anomoly - great picture - you do have big blue eyes!! I hate posting my photo because (vanity, vanity, vanity) I think - do I look that old?!
