I can almost here the banjo's playing. lol

The other is there is a huge ghey population in Pot-land and Puget Sound area.
They mingle among themselves and that's it. I'm not ghey nor do I have any animosity against what goes on in someones bedroom just to clear the air. I really just don't care.
Besides, my trophy wife is into girls so it would be hard for me to condemn/judge anyone else.

The area reeks of introverted, well educated, blatantly anti social types that have really never developed any sort of social skills nor do they care too. Also most there don't have the potential of becoming a criminal which is good also.

The other is, and I'll try and be as diplomatic as I can, The wife and I have conflicting diets from most locals there if you know what I'm saying. Beer and Pizza is not actually food BTW. <eyes rolling>
I have heard every story in the book about why they look like the way they do.
We used to have a Canadian group come visit us en-mass and stay with us for a week or so.
They cornered me one night and asked me quietly "why is everyone so fat here". I really didn't know what to say.

My agenda for coming back is cheap year around horse and cow hay and boating in the Sound.
There's nothing else there for me.
It's surely not a social mecca like San Diego, Phoenix or Dallas.

Also for the ones that say that they are just surviving because they have too many mouths to feed, they dug their grave so they can lay in it.

I don't even know the people you are describing in Seattle and I've been here for decades. Are you sure you have the right state? I've heard us described as elitist but nothing at all like what you're describing. And there is no "h or e" in gay so not sure why you spell it that way if you have no issue, it sounds like you're trying to be derogatory while denying it. Perhaps you could find cheap hay and boating in Idaho or Montana, they have lakes you know. It doesn't sound like this state is suited to you at all and no one is begging you to come here, we have more than enough moving here every day with cranes making the metro look like War of the Worlds.

If you don't care about the gay population, why bring it up? There are no more of them in Seattle than in any other major city. So what's your point?

Seattle is listed on studies/surveys as being among the states who have the smallest percentage of overweight people in the US, so I don't know what you're talking about. It's all the hiking, boating and other healthy, active pursuits the region is known for. Apparently your circle is made up of couch potatoes. You could change that, if you sincerely wanted. I lived in Seattle for 20 years, and never met anyone like that. Good luck with your re-entry process. Sounds like you'll need it.

He says moving back "reluctantly", then describes an area I do not know and I live here. Very odd and no one is asking him to be here, if it's a choice, he should choose somewhere else that likes and is familiar with. Previous posts say he was considering Alabama, which makes more sense.

Seacove selling anything? That's a laugh. "You think this car isn't perfect for you? Don't buy it then. Why did you even come here looking for a car? Why don't you stay with the crappy car you already have? I honestly don't understand why people like you come here looking for a car if you know you're not going to like it. You people make me sick. Stay off my lot."

Is this a sarcastic post? Aren't you the one who has pages upon pages of rants on this sub-forum about anti-social Seattleites, and especially about Seattle women? And now you want to get along? Seriously??
