That's why I left the SW for the PNW. **** the heat. I'm not partial to humidity either, but it's bearable at cooler temps.
Edit: I take that back, I flipping love the heat. I just don't want 6 months of it.

That's not why I left California, I came up to Washington to go to grad school in 1988, but now I could never go back to the heat and sun of California. I love the cooler weather and the rain and I am in 7th heaven now that it is raining once again!
I would not mind summer here if everything would just stop growing, it's really frightening because I have nobody to maintain the property.
And yes, I know it is growing because of the rain.
My pet peeve....
Africa is not a country!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh!!!!!

I feel their pain because I was raised in Indiana, but we moved when I was 12 and I have been moving around ever since, until I finally landed in Washington State in 88. Now, I would never live anywhere else except maybe Oregon or Idaho.

It's still a continent. But with patience and wishful thinking.... maybe one day.

It's not a really why I left Vegas either, but it's partly why I won't go back.
I love the growth here. I only do my lawn a few times during the season, because I like watching everything grow, bloom and die. Let's me know Nature is still doing her thing.

Come to my place and you will really see what nature is all about.
Why it frightens me is a psychological problem because I know the tree guys and landscapers and I have the money to hire them. I just cannot seem to decide to do anything about it and maybe that is because it is meant to be this way for now. Partly that is because there are other things that take precedence, but there always seem to be other things that take precedence. And I reason that what's the worst that can happen? I can always get it cut down if need be. It is not that I don't like the trees and other growth, it is that I feel I should be managing them, and that is my issue with guilt. I compare myself to other people who manage their properties and I always feel less than.
I am in a good mood right now so maybe I can think of only one. The people who call my phone and they say "this will be the LAST ONE". It never is.
So many ignore the diverse cultures, peoples, foods, and climates of the continent... They're missing so much.
I remember being at work having a coworker from Mali challenge us all to name at least 10 African countries. All the workers were either in college or had degrees except one(a high school drop out).
Only one met the challenge. The high school drop out.
(Me.)
54 countries. Google is ruining the human brain. Right?
I won't argue with the fact that google has taken its toll, but I don't really think much emphasis was ever place on Africa in school. Perhaps that would be one of the first things to amend.

I'd help if I could, but I have a hard time cutting my own meager property lol. Sorry to hear you're having issues with guilt. Don't beat yourself up to much, the world's got enough punches to deal out without you dealing them to yourself.

I think I would fail that without cheating. Congratulations!
I've learned geography due to an obsession with what other people eat.
Its great because of the fact that I'll always need to eat, I'll always have opportunity to learn.
I've still got a long way to go.
Unnecessary "-ness" words
Warmness instead of warmth.
Spontaniousness rather than spontaneity.
Sincereness in place of sincerity.
It happens when we go from noun to adjective (warm, spontaneous, sincere), then back to noun by adding a ness to the adjective rather than to where we began.

I don't get out much socially unless I complained why people driving downhill like to stop at the last minute thinking their car will obey them because the law says they have the right away. Gravity doesn't work that way-keep going. Don't worry, we know. You DO have the right away if you're going X miles an hour downhill while we are still on the sidewalk.
People bonking their horns at pedestrians as if we were cars. People in cars are pretty safe when someone honks their horn. Scares them maybe but they're still safe. Honk at a pedestrian, he may trip, stop, step to the wrong side, or look confused and about time he gets his wits together, the car already hit him.
No. I will not breathe on you while running so you don't have to put your mask on. Oh. Rats. Bout time I finished thinking that, I'm already down the road. Hm. Interesting.
Timing the cars at a four way intersection. Stupid warning signals work in some intersections and not others. Heaven forbid if the "light" doesn't see you. It'll stop short and people KNOW you're still in the street but they still put on the gas anyway. As if you're superman and can just fly across or play chicken.
No. I'm not going to touch your baby. No need to rush up the hills while I run by. It would be sad if the carriage actually fell. I would want to help but knowing the mother is scared to death, the only thing I could really do is say a prayer. Shrugs.
On that note, you don't need to go out in the street to avoid me. I CAN stop running and move out the way, by the way. No big deal.
Lastly: When someone can judge your whole character, values, behavior, and motives just by one opinion.

I grew up in a time when African nations came and gone. I wish and pray for stability, peace, sanity, etc.I've learned geography due to an obsession with what other people eat.
