Re: Hello!

Hi Peppernoni and welcome to the site!

Don't feel too bad about Florida. It's appealing to many but I think it's nicer to vacation there than to live there. That's just my opinion.

Best of luck...

Re: The smell of lay-offs in the air ...

Following up on this, does your new employer offer education assistance? I pursued this at mine and 4 years after graduation don't owe them a thing. :) It's worth checking out if you haven't...

Trading floor/Stock trading

Re: which US car is most similar to Toyota Corolla Verso?

I don't disagree and I'm certainly not saying that the other brands you listed are better. They're not. I just always considered Toyota to be a step above when it comes to quality so these slips...

Re: reasonable quality clothes?

These are not M&S prices, but I love SmartWool socks. They hold up very well, keep your feet toasty when it's chilly and not too hot when it's warm. Just remembered you're in Phoenix, so perhaps...

Re: which US car is most similar to Toyota Corolla Verso?

I used to feel as you do and always bought Toyota. However, the recent plethora of recalls for Toyota have really disappointed me. Like FatBrit, I think I'll look seriously at Subaru for a future...

Hi Beatrix and welcome to the site! Goodness, I certainly hope you aren't too old to move abroad in your early thirties. Did you catch the recent BBC article that highlighted the percentage of...

Re: New Christmas Traditions?

Indeed! Surely some of you are going hiking? We are 2 hours north of you in red rock country but plan to do that today or tomorrow. I keep wanting to tell the locals (pssst, this is NOT cold...

Re: Christmas tipping etiquette

Nor have I. I gave a larger tip than normal to my hairdresser for my last appointment, but have never tipped my mailman, garbage man, etc.

Re: The Duggars Expecting 20th child

While 20 kids seems crazy to me, these kids seem to have much better lives than so many kids in our society do today. They have a family who loves them and provides for them. If that wasn't the...

Re: Have I finally insulted an American about Accents

Re: Room Temp

You have a definite point with the windows; I have no reason to think ours are particularly good (or sealed). When it comes to insulation, however, I'm afraid we have brick walls between us and the...

Re: Childhood memories and other stuff.

As a child I loved watching this show. As an adult, it scares the hell out of me. Whatever the creators were on, I'd like some please.
