I came from another board that is apparently closing down. I want to thank "shayvo" if they are here for posting the location of this board. I hope to see some familiar "faces". I'm going to have to study the "workings" of this board. I hope I can catch on quickly. I can tell it is a lot easier to log-in on this board...LOL The emoji's are hilarious...
LOL!

Hello "Feces"...my first reply. I hope this works. Not sure if I can reply without a quote.

Welcome Hummdrumm! I think you'll kind this board to be much more user friendly than the other one.

by Hummdrumm Tue Jul 28, 2015 9:57 pm

Thanks USN. Did anyone see at ETonline the video of Kaitlyn and Shawn laughing about Nick? They were really mean.

You're welcome Hummdrumm. I did watch the video, and thought it was not very nice of them. I'm not a Nick fan, but I did think what they did was low.

Welcome, Hummdrumm!

by Hummdrumm Tue Jul 28, 2015 10:15 pm

I was upset to see that video as well USN. So mean to laugh like that.

Hello WW4. Nice to see you here. I hope to see others.

USN are you from S.F.?

WW4...is that your dog?

by **WidderWoman4** Tue Jul 28, 2015 10:20 pm

Hummdrumm, yes, that's my dog. Feel free to admire her as much as possible! Wink

by **USN** Tue Jul 28, 2015 10:25 pm

Yea, that was mean, Hummdrumm. No, I'm not from S.F. I live in the San Joaquin Valley, but I do visit the city quite a bit. I'm actually from PA.

by Hummdrumm Tue Jul 28, 2015 10:28 pm

So USN, are you in Modesto or somewhere around there? I use to live in the Bay Area.

by **USN** Tue Jul 28, 2015 10:36 pm

I live a little south of Modesto, Hummdrumm. I use to live in the Bay Area, a number of place in the south bay. Where did you live?

by Hummdrumm Tue Jul 28, 2015 10:37 pm

I lived in Fremont. South as in Ceres or Fresno?

by **USN** Tue Jul 28, 2015 10:42 pm

We lived in San Jose.

by Hummdrumm Tue Jul 28, 2015 10:45 pm

Yes. I almost bought in San Joaquin...I went down as far as Hanford when I was house hunting.

by **USN** Tue Jul 28, 2015 10:47 pm

The weather is awful here, so you were smart not to buy in the valley. Are you still living in CA?

by Hummdrumm Tue Jul 28, 2015 10:56 pm

No. I moved out of state. My cousin had a bed & breakfast in Prescott AZ and I visited her twice, once in 2003 and in 2004. I like it so much that I purchased a house during my second trip. I had no problem selling my home within a couple of days back in 2003. People were outbidding themselves and I got quite a bit for my home in Fremont. Sometimes I miss California - when I visit...I can't wait to get back to Prescott. To much smog, bumper to bumper traffic and now a drought!

by **USN** Tue Jul 28, 2015 11:21 pm

I imagine you did get a pretty good chunk of change selling a house in Fremont. I wish I could move out of CA> The air here is killing my lungs, and allergies are a big problem here. AZ is nice. I spent some time in Phoenix when I was stationed in San Diego.

by Hummdrumm Tue Jul 28, 2015 11:41 pm

You should travel up north from PHX. PHX is such a big city and hotter than heck. Prescott has cooler weather and snows just enough to enjoy. Never have to really shovel. Further north in Flagstaff...a different story...lots of snow. It is beautiful there though. Hopefully my daughter will go to NAU next year. Prescott has always been one of the top 10 places to retire. It is14 hours to drive to the Bay Area from Prescott.

by **USN** Tue Jul 28, 2015 11:48 pm

I spent a three day weekend in PHX, it was in May, and the temps had reached 113. I felt like I was in an oven, it was suffocating. Are you close to Sedona? I would love to visit there.

by Hummdrumm Tue Jul 28, 2015 11:54 pm

OH....Sedona is nice. It's 1.5 hours away. It is so amazing...all the gigantic red rock. Every time I drive into Sedona...it's actually quite scary - only because the rocks are so large and red and breathtaking. You turn the corner at one point and you know you're in Sedona. If you were to travel here, I'd hit Sedona, Prescott and Flagstaff...the Grand Canyon is up north too. You could do all 4 places in a week but you would travel 1.5 to 2 hours a day just one way. Doing it all in one week would be okay but giving yourself a few extra days would be nice so you're not so crunched and exhausted. Vacationing can be exhausting. You would have to plan it out. Surf the internet for pictures of Sedona...you could find a slideshow of the red rocks...you have to picture yourself so small next to them to visualize the magnitude of these red rocks. Some of the red rocks look like a character - like one looks like Snoopy lying down on his back. Check out pictures of St. John Vianney Catholic Church...it's set up high within the rocks. It has an interesting story behind it.

I was planning on doing the Grand Canyon and Sedona trip. It probably won't be until next summer though. Thanks for the info.

I heard Sedona is really beautiful. Don't they have the atmospheric things going on there, too?

by Hummdrumm Wed Jul 29, 2015 12:05 am

Yes. Some say when they drive in that they feel some vortex, spiritual-type, electric-type energy. I've never experienced anything. I did edit my previous post with more information on Sedona.

by **USN** Wed Jul 29, 2015 12:17 am

That's what I heard. I read some things about Sedona from someone who was into all of that healing and mysticism stuff. Thanks, I will definitely check out those pics.

Sounds like a page out of the Andi and Josh book. And we know how well that one turned out.

by **USN** Wed Jul 29, 2015 12:31 am

Yes it does, and yes we do, BSkeptical
