I believe the airline owes you Hazardous Duty Pay for that.

I personally cannot think of a more awful-and-pity-inspiring place than Phoenix, so I like the name of this thread.

EVER so sincerely,
Escapee

*starts laughing* OHHH yep, when there is a lack of deodorant in Hell, Bit makes a deal of it.

Scottsdale IS so bad, darlin, but maybe you're immune. I've noticed that lots of people seem to hate the places they grew up, and when they move, they tend to love the new places... even as the people who grew up in those new places hate them, and can't wait to get out themselves.

I think if one had to live anywhere in the Valley, near the zoo would be best, or maybe in the Mountain Preserve. But really, the worst air in the country, and afternoon temps that hang at 120 degrees for a month or more, night time temps that hang at 90 or more for several months a year? There's nothing good about that.

The city I grew up in had the cleanest, clearest air in the country (100 mile visibility in every direction) and night time temps dropped to the sixties every night all summer long. Fall came right on schedule at the end of September and everyone had to wear coats by the beginning of November, sometimes by Halloween night. 80 degree temps did not show up until the end of April. Metro Phoenix isn't like this anymore. Give me a place with clean air and seasons which do not contain the word "Hell" even by implication, please...

Wow pretty, I guess we have to move. We just got told.

I understand it IS possible to change thread titles (or at least, have seen it done once).

If you do manage to wrangle the edit, I vote for Arwen's suggestion. In fact, maybe you could make her your manager and she could talk to the admin for you.

Sometimes I'm amazed at my own helpfulness.

Eh. People often hate the places they grow up in. You got told why I hate Phoenix, nothing more. Like I said, maybe you're immune to the things that bother me. An awful lot of people are! *shrugs*

You know TPT, the big question is, did you remember to use your deodorant after you showered at home

i'll always be a california girl at heart, but there's some wonderful things about arizona, specifically scottsdale (we just got our first Barney's)!

i'm curious, i'm immune to what? and scottsdale in comparison to where/with what? i'm fairly finicky when it comes to amenities--where were you living when you were here, and where did you move to??

[Bit]

I lived all over the Valley, apretty, from Mesa and Tempe to Avondale, Maryvale to north Phoenix, central Phoenix and Sunnyslope for more than forty years. I had/have family living everywhere from Peoria to Chandler to Scottsdale to Red Mountain Ranch, and of course all over Phoenix itself.

I live in Wichita, Kansas now.

You would be "immune" to the things which bothered me, the things I mentioned in my previous posts.

I really never meant to cause such a derail in TPT's thread, so if you want to talk more about it, let's PM, k?

Happy Monday. I'm still home and hoping to not have to hop a plane for at least a week!

I want to formally apologize to my subscribers and readers, alike for the rash of typos (BIT:-) in my last post. I should know better than to drink and post. I was just so damn happy to home and have deordorant applied I wanted to share it with you, my fans.

As far as renaming the thread. I leave that task up to all of you, if you're game. Perhaps start your own thread. I mean if Prince can change his name to a symbol, you snarky folks should be able to strong arm these wimpy admins into changing the name if this puny little thread. *snicker*

Complaining about Phoenix IS a "bit deal" been doing it all my adult life. I don't often say anything about typos but that one was just so.. well.. apropos! It was perfect.

Welcome home to you!

So what's your excuse for this one?

Like heat rash.

[TeaPartyTart]

Just tried out the Thanks feature. Useful for a weary traveler? Verdict is still out

I'm headed to Charlotte next week. What travel woes will it bring?

You will have to contend with obnoxious people wearing powder blue and calling it "teal."

Idiots, the lot of them.

You have been thanked for personally irritating him.

:kiss:

[TeaPartyTart]

I should pull out all of my teal! I want to blend with the locals.

Any requests for features should be forwarded to the Administration of the site. I think it's great you have such great ideas for continuous improvement *snicker*.

Look you.

I know people in Charlotte! I can arrange something BAD to happen to your deordant.

Ok, well really, I know people who drive through Charlotte.

I may have even driven through once, myself. No, wait. Nope, I haven't been to Charlotte.

Anyway. Don't lose your luggage.
