Hey!!
I'm oringinally from P.E.I Canada (please don't ask me where that is, it's a province and we're on the map, I swear)
A few months ago I moved out to Langley (just outside of Vancouver) British Columbia.
supposed to be warm here - but I'm starting to think we went straight from Spring to Fall. Someone forgot to send us summer.
ugh

least

Born in Chicago but have lived over forty years in a small city in Ohio farmland. Like the country a lot better than big cities. I like the peace and quiet.

I also lived in Greensboro Nc for about 7 years. It was absolutely beautiful there. Well..we really lived in Julian just outside the city. In the middle of the country.
I use to love sitting on our back deck and just looking around at a bunch of nothing.
Alot of the revolutionary war was fought there I guess. There is a park called Battleground Park wher alot of fighting took place. They have alot of renactments there.
Ok onto the silly ghost story.
When we first lived there we lived in a townhouse just on the edge of the park. And everynight I would hear tapping in the ceiling like morse code. It was only at night and lasted most of the night every night.
Also I guy I was seeing lived further down the road on the edge of the park too.
I use to stare at these 2 spots in his apartment all the time. One night we got on the subject of ghosts and he told me he had an old farmer ghost that usually hung out in the 2 spots I was always staring at. I never told him those spots caught my eye.
OOOOOHHHH..CREEPYYY!!!!

It is hot and humid! Rella is right... we don't usually get a heat wave like this until uh, summer really begins.

NJ, hot and humid in the summer, freezing cold and snowy in the winter.

We have Texas Wieners and THE BEST PIZZA in the USA.

Ditto on the corn and Jersey tomatoes. THE BEST!

NJ has mountains and the Jersey Shore.

We have high taxes, high costs for housing and good schools.

Though we have much congestion we do have wide open and preserved land as well. Beautiful state parks.

Mosquitoes are our state bird.

Being close to NYC brings us the very fortunate availability of diverse multi-cultural ethnic cuisines (and residents).

We are the home of The Sopranos.

I feel sorry for anyone unlucky enough NOT to live in NJ .

Fugghedaboudditt!

You all make me very happy that there aren't big bugs like that... at least not that I have seen... in New England. But there is very good sports, this city has been crazy these past few months!

Yes it does! LOL

I am from Liverpool, it sucks here.

Gyps and Rella, which exit?

gravity

I'm way west of you...Lake of the Woods (near the Manitoba and Minnesota borders). I have been to Barrie (nephew lives there) and Muskoka - very similar landscape - awesome.

Mosquitos, wasps, hornets, bumble-bees (technical name I'm sure ), dragon flies (good bugs - eat mosquitos), regular flies, ants, moths (some big ones but not palmetto size), spiders, and the dreaded...

Pine beetle (sorry if I'm creeping you out Rowan)!



These guys hang around your deck, fast as lightning, stick to your back and (if you are like my wife, Scott) make you run abound screaming "get it off me! get it off me!".

I'm sure that I'm missing many..these are the ones that come to mind. Oh, and it's not like there is this big swarm of bugs following me everywhere I go (or is there? hmmm...). They mainly keep to their own (except for the mosquitos).

gypsytears

It's what exit... ya dolt!

Exit 8 for me .

New Jersey Turnpike duh!

stone

I said exit! :day4

Was born in a place called Ayr, raised in a classy () place called Clydebank in the west of Dunbartonshire (sounds lovely if you're not from here, it isn't though) - just a boot in the arse away from Glasgow.

Now stay back in Glasgow having lived and worked in many places around the UK and in Europe - particularly during my drinking days where I sort of tended to travel the globe, picking up skills here and there (not all of them useful, or even healthy).

gypsytears

Umm hmm :crazy.

You still don't get it though.

Liverpool sounds nice ya scouser Liverpool - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia!

stone

I DO get it! :chatter Erm....

Liverpool might SOUND nice...

RK2007

You from Liverpool stone? Never imagined you to be a scouser!!!

Scousers are great fun, love Liverpool FC as well.

I've seen pix and it looks nice too. Plus, some very nice people are from Liverpool. I happen to know for a fact.

Glasgow, Scotland, was shanghaied to Canada-Toronto, then Detroit when I was a wee lad, have lived here ever since, currently residing on Grosse Ile. SurlyRedhead can probably figure out what I'm talking about, have been moving further and further south since I met ex-wife 2, first Melvindale, then Wyandotte, then Gibraltar, then over the bridge to the island, may be going back across to Gibraltar. It probably wasn't the best idea, but you can see the attraction of my current place:

That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.
