What....per year are you sure that's not per month?!?! You guys need to move to NJ...

Ray

I will... when you see stupid tattooed on my head ..

And the Property tax is going down a few hundred next year ..

Jerseygirl

What...you'll be paying what we pay in utilities. Thank god we are considering moving south in a few years.

Ray

But think of all the snake and bugs we have to suffer ..

Jerseygirl

That's what's keeping me north ie NJ, Canada and the UK.

Ray

I doubt you are going that rural ..
you city people never see a snake one year to the next ..

ugacrew

Do politicians count?

Jerseygirl

Errr I live 45 mins from the city...bears, coyotes, deer, foxes etc are what I see. Snakes...are you kidding me? We find bloody snakeskins around the outside of the house and find the live buggers swimming in our pool. They still don't instill the fear of god in me like roaches and other bugs do....and frogs.

Ray

Will be home from home then ...a few squirrels thats all
Not see a roach for a year ...

Calling a roach a Palmetto bug does not by the way - make them any less hideous.

Ray

Well actually they are pretty safe bugs ..

they don't sting...

Ray

So whereabout do you fancy .. I will find you a winter gaffe...

Jerseygirl

and I've seen both...whilst on holiday.

I've always maintained the first roach I see in my home I'm on the first plane back to the UK.

Jerseygirl

Dunno yet...after I get the UK place set up I will set my sights on a warmer US state.

Kaffy Mintcake

Forgive my ignorance - do roaches not exist in the UK? That would be fabulous if it was the case!

I've always found that when lots of trees are about - the potential for roaches exists. We had a couple in my house growing up, and it was always tidy. I used to fear putting on my shoes in the dark. Blech.

Now we don't have that problem - but have had a couple of field mouse in our house during the winter in the past. Again - Blech.
