How does your local economy feel?

Well Dave don't feel too pregnant and alone there.

Quote"Change of subject- Just last week my wife admitted that we should have moved to Puna a few years back, paid off all of our debt and built a modest home on a lot in.. She thought I'd be happy to hear that.. Hearing three years later, after the fact, does nothing for me or our situation now. I knew when Bush was reelected this was coming.. I fricken knew it aaararrgggg........... but I let her talk me out of moving.. She used many threads from right here to make her case that our son would be treated like an outsider, he would bleed to death in a waiting room because of the limited health care, the cost of living was to high blah blah etc etc.. Well here we are.. Being right, this time, may be something I can't overcome for many years.."

I was ready and able in spring 05, but we delayed, much the same as you. So when 06 came along as we packed and arranged for 10 day pet certificates we found out our domestic Bengal cats we prohibited. Adding the current situation on top of this, well don't know when we will get there. How long before the housing mkt recovers some sense of balance and we can GET OUT.

There are those on this board who will be thrilled that people are stuck on the mainland. But it will only increase the size of the tsunami when the housing market breaks free again, I'm sure.

Hang in there, isn't it funny or really not, no matter where you are, we are all in THIS BOAT TOGETHER and will be riding rough seas.

Much Aloha,
