It doesn't take the moon to bring on rudeness, just diet coke at $2 a twelve pack. The distancing created by the cell home use is just an add-on.<BR/><BR/>P.S. It should be noted that we're about to give up our Sam's membership. Careful attention to the sales at the regular stores beats Sam's for nearly everything except bulk garlic. The number one reason why I don't have problems with vampires.<BR/><BR/>-rick<BR/>http://muse-needed.blogspot.com/Rick Bylinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493557860835710721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74000069263980746.post-82483467792365676452007-09-03T09:58:00.000-04:002007-09-03T09:58:00.000-04:00Amen, Marijke, Our neighbors -- lovely people -- t...Amen, Marijke, <BR/>Our neighbors -- lovely people -- tell of living in this housing development for 15 years and it took 2004, a year with 4 hurricanes to get everyone out of their houses to meet their neighbors and form a sense of community. I'm glad we missed the hurricanes (moved in afterwards) but I would have liked the bonding. <BR/><BR/>I agree with the 'me-ness.' But in Florida it seems more mild. Southern courtesy really does prevail and it is like watching a miracle unfold to see it softening the New Yorkers and Jersey-ites. :) <BR/><BR/>DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18419344655830579965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74000069263980746.post-29959360121114538752007-09-03T08:57:00.000-04:002007-09-03T08:57:00.000-04:00Frustrating for sure.

Mind you, there is definitely a stronger sense of "me-ness" than there used to be.<BR/><BR/>It's funny how when there's a disaster, you end up seeing such kindness and giving from total strangers. It's as if we need something catestrophic to remind us of how we are all interconnected somehow.Marijke Vroomen-Durninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436563110710429784noreply@blogger.com
