smooth_pappa

I used to live close to STL, kaos... I went to college in a small school in illinois about 45 miles east. I do miss that city.
6:38 am
kaosangel

I do not understand the strategies of this game, the number just sort of come to me. Several of the guys on my team play this and they got me the membership for christmas so I could play old puzzles.
6:39 am
kaosangel

Where abouts SP? I have family in OFallon IL
6:39 am
smooth_pappa

I was in Greenville. Aside from the school, there isn't much there.
6:39 am
kaosangel

Are you vacationing RB or are you a resident of Fuerteventura?
6:40 am
kaosangel

LOL, that is very true SP. Southern IL is like southern and central MO, lots of farms
6:41 am
Runnerbean

Resident k, have been for just over 3 years, got fed up with UK, but still have family there
6:41 am
smooth_pappa

hehe... yup... Although, I'm now in Madison, WI... and the same thing here... once you get out of the city, it's all farm land
6:41 am
kaosangel

But there is not a lot to miss of StL right now...seems every night the news is reporting more and more layoffs of every industry.
6:41 am
kaosangel

I go to Madison all of the time
6:41 am
kaosangel

the company I work for has a plant there
6:41 am
smooth_pappa

6:43 am
Runnerbean

6:43 am
smooth_pappa

now, when you come up here, are you flying or driving? The drive isn't *too* long, but man! not much to look at on the way
6:44 am
kaosangel

LOL, We tend to drive because we vist several locations on the way up and back
6:44 am
smooth_pappa

gottcha
6:45 am
kaosangel

RB, it is tourist laden all year around there?
6:46 am
Runnerbean

Used to be k, but with the way of the world, not so much lately, but it IS one of the quiter islands anyway
6:47 am
kaosangel

a nice quiet island ... to dream, sounds tranquil
6:47 am
smooth_pappa

yeah, that does sound nice!
6:48 am
kaosangel

beats the snow and ice doesn't it SP?!
6:48 am
Phil

done, no greens
6:49 am
Runnerbean

People come here and you either hate it on first sight and never come back, or you fall in love with it on your first visit, and keep coming back or stay here for ever like me!!
6:49 am
smooth_pappa

hehehe... you know.... I'm aware that I am in a HUGE minority, but I would miss the winter if I moved away... but an Island like RB's would be a nice break
6:50 am
Runnerbean

God, I don't miss winter at all, when I go back to uk for visits in winter, can't wait to get back
6:50 am
kaosangel

Normally I would agree with you SP, but after the snow we just got and the inability of people to drive in it, I am ready to move to a nice quiet island with no commute
6:50 am
smooth_pappa

hehe... lIke I said, I know that my outlook isn't shared by many ;)
6:51 am
kaosangel

lol
6:51 am
smooth_pappa

HA! I do distinctly remember not enjoying driving while there was snow down there, and precisely for that reason: the other drivers
6:51 am
Runnerbean

takes about 45 mins to get from one end of island to the other, no road rage, no traffic jams, bliss.....
6:51 am
Phil

Know that feeling Rb, emigrated from the UK to Perth 10 years ago. Went back for the first time last year. Only missed the country pubs and great friends.
6:52 am
kaosangel

no road rage, no traffic .... that right there is a dream come true
6:53 am

The Cubs didn't play night games at home because their lighting system didn't work at night.
