[Junket]

Where would you move to?

[misombra]

i don't know. somewhere where it rains more.

Rains here a lot.

But I wouldn't recommend it for permanent residence.

Any states you've visited that you liked?

[misombra]

yes. the pacific northwest is my favorite part of the u.s.

[Junket]

Never visited.

Maybe I should when I'm single and lost.

Have you tried seeing an Ear-Nose-Throat doctor? They can set you up with allergy shots.

[misombra]

you need to come visit new mexico first. one weekend in the mountains and you'll be in love.

i haven't. but i'm afraid of those shots. most of my family gets allergies really bad like me, and tonight my uncle told me that he had the shot and it worked for one day and that was it.

that would probably happen to me. nothing works it's so frustrating. i have a drawer packed to the rim with drugs that don't do a gawdam thing. i have expensive drugs too.

My son is taking sublinguinal allergy therapy that supposedly works the same way as shots, but is given under the tongue instead of by injection. I was told the allergy shots are an on-going therapy that is designed to reduce your intolerance to whatever you are allergic to. They inject increasing amounts of the allergen over time until you develop immunity. It isn't meant to work for one day, but rather after a prolonged time period (at least, this was the way I understood it).

[misombra]

yeah. they all say that. i took something last night that was called "TYLENOL ALLERGY QUICK RELEASE! 24 HOURS!"

it didn't do anything. it did make me a little dizzy though. but i still was in pretty bad shape.

at this point i'm not trusting anything but my trusty nose spray, it is the only thinking keeping me from stabbing my sinuses with a screwdriver.

[CAM]

yes. the pacific northwest is my favorite part of the u.s.

Used to live there for a spell. Beautiful.

[misombra]

yeah, i think i would love it there for a while, but then the desert would send me back like an eagle surfing the canyon wind.

Yeah, it rains...you'll forget what its like to have two hands free while walking down the street...one hand will be holding an umbrella for an eternity! Where I lived, it rained 70 inches a year. The upshot is that: a) the air is fresher and b) the people are more friendly...inclement weather seems to bring people closer as we all head into a pub or a cafe to warm up and watch through the window as the other folks slog their way down the street.

So, since you like both climates and the housing market just happens to be in a tailspin...buy two cozy condos, one in the southwest and one in the pnw.

For the oversexed guys on the LF page, here's an interesting observation about the pnw...it seems that women in the pnw are at least one cup size bigger than the rest of the country On average, they're often a bit curvier but much more sensual. In Portland and Seattle, very well-read women--brainy and yet very open and very cosmopolitan in attitude and behavior (unlike the frigid types in NYC). And, the coats and the sweaters, for some reason, the disguising of their figures makes you pay greater attention to their face and their minds, which I find very appealing. Because of the weather, many women wear their hair sensibly but fashionably...they tend not to be the Barbies of the SW or So-Cal. They're very "real" and I think that's great.

Knowing you a bit, I think you'd fit right in Mis. I could definitely see you in downtown Portland or Seattle.
