Costco Rotiss Chickens

I've wondered about that - "whatever happened to 2-1/2 to 3 pound
fryers?". Obvious answer -
McDonald's and all the other fast foods serving fried chicken.

Oh, that should be fun. Ugh. It might be worth hiring some guys
to do the move. I can pick up enough pounds but the boxes are
so unweildy I would break my neck taking them down stairs. Then
there's the furniture? I'm too old for this stuff anymore.

I'm glad you are getting out. It doesn't sound like it was what
you were hoping for.

It gets worse. :-) It's 58 out right now at almost 11 p.m. Today's
high was 74. The pool is maintained at 85 during the winter. The
adjacent spa is maintained at 110-115 during the winter.


Thanks, Nancy. This house and neighborhood of the last four years
has proven to be a nightmare. That, combined with the lengthy
commute was just too much. Our new place is 1.2 miles from my office
and 5.2 miles from David's office.

I haven't lived in an apartment since 1972, but this place is
amazing. It's in Old Phoenix buried in a 17 acre plot of woods
adjacent to the Phoenix Country Club. Winding brick footpaths run
throughout the property. The landscaping is almost overwhelming,
with thickets of vines overhead, flowering trees, citrus trees, and
shrubs everywhere, as well as huge sheltering trees. There are
ancient looking fountains at every turn, and the patios are very
large and very private, enclosed by six foot stucco walls. Ours has
a sour orange tree on it (I see marmalade coming our way), and
surrounded by flowering shrubs and flowering groundcover. Well, I
haven't been able to restrain myself, but I'll stop here... :-)

What kind of spa? Steam? Dry? We cal hottubs spas here & I thought
for a minute that was what you meant. 115 would cook you though.
I like 101 through the winter. [+4F this AM- should be -10 tomorrow
AM] My mind says it likes 100 in the summer, but I don't think my
body can really tell the diff.

Congrats on the new digs. That sounds fantastic! 6 months
from now you'll be wondering how in hell you ever did that commute.

It really sounds like a dream come true. I mean, all that and you
have a private patio. I'm glad you are making the move.

Actually, it is a hot tub. There is a little sign posted nearby that
says, "Caution, spa is maintained between 110 and 115 degrees." When
we lived in OH, we kept our hot tub at 110 degrees, and yes, it was
pretty hot.


Thanks, Jim. To be honest, I don't know how we've managed this
commute for so long. I've been on the road about 2-1/2 hours per day
going to and from work. Five minutes will seem like the blink of an
eye.

Yes, on average it will be about 1/40th the distance for me.


Yes, it is. Everytime I walk through the place I have to pinch
myself to remind me that we're still in Phoenix. :-) Thanks,
Nancy.

How exciting!


LOL. I can understand. I am looking forward to 'cleaning house'
and a move but not so much all the WORK! (Too many years and years
of accumulation.)


That is wonderful. I am VERY happy for you.

Not too well. I am now looking for a buyers agent. The agent I
was using would barely reply to me. Just because I was out of state
and not buying a million dollar property probably put me at the
bottom of her list of people to reply to.


If the new buyers agent seems responsive I will probably fly out in
February to look around. I was going to drive down over the New
Year holidays but the snow storms came and since I would be
traveling alone, I thought better about driving down.

I'm so excited for you! Now the fun part starts... setting up
house!

Congratulations!

Can hardly wait to see the pictures!!

Sounds like you'll be able to add walking (between work and home) to
your diet plan and not even feel the pain! Well maybe not summer
walking, but other times of the year shouldn't be too bad.

Thanks, Steve. We're moved in but still disorganized. Just got the
computers up and running last night. We're gonna love this!

I'm sorry to hear that, Sandi. It can be very frustrating working
from afar to find a new home.


You'd think an agent would be eager to find places for prospective
buyers, especially considering the economy. I wouldn't drive through
bad weather to get here. We were lucky when we moved to AZ. We
moved in February, but as we left Cleveland there was little snow on
the ground and we took the southern route. We didn't encounter any
weather problems.


Thank you! We've finally gotten everything moved, but not yet
organized. That will take some time. However, at least we're here
and we've eliminated that commute!

First of all, it turned out to be a "bad" neighborhood. We just
didn't do our homework. Several houses down from us in a beautiful
house there was a meth lab. Except for one next door neighbor, the
others were rather unpleasant. We also had significant construction
problems with the house.


It really is nice, but we have a lot of settling in to do. At least
we are fully moved in now and can concentrate on working around home.
