I am truly excited; a little scared of the unknown as I’m leaving children, mother, sisters and childhood friends not to mention my “friend” for the past 17 years. [[He’ll just have to make quarterly visits. LOL)
I didn’t want to leave Philly but my block had deteriorated to the extent that I can’t bear to live around folks who don’t have a clue nor do they want one. The summers are the most unbearable with fussin/cussin, fighting in the wee hours of the morning, children running amok causing property damage, the street being used as an auto body shop, people bar-be-queing on the porch, trash everywhere, gun shots, helicopters flying overhead not to mention young men congregating on the corners selling drugs. In a nutshell a living HELL.
My new development is nice and quiet comprising of working folks who have nothing better to do at night but to be asleep. Also, I befriended the former owner and he assured me that I will be very happy living there possibly adding 10 more years to my life! What really made me happy was when I asked him about rodents and he said in the 6 years that he lived there he never saw one inside or outside the home. That SEALED THE DEAL for me as in any urban area rodents is a problem and I was being overrun and I had a cat!
So after tomorrow, I won’t be on the forum for maybe 3-4 weeks as my computer and such is already in GA and I will be incapable of participating on the forum. I’ll miss peeking in but as the Terminator would say, “I’LL BE BACK”!
