    I think it was directed at me. And I do have better things to do than go back and forth about the experience my family has had for decades, with someone who's going to take it as "denunciation."

    After talking all the possibilities to DEATH for almost two months...we finally came up with a plan!! :clap

    - House goes on the market in March
    - I take a leave of absence from work for 4-6 months (we get to keep our health insurance that way)
    - We go to Key West for 3-4 months, make some contacts and get to know the place better
    - If the house sells we fly home and move our stuff out
    - If the house doesn't sell we come home when my leave is up, I go back to work, and we move to KW once the house sells

    Gawd, it feel good to have a plan!!!!!

    PAX, sounds like a great plan! Hope everything works out for you, and this way you aren't burning your bridges at work just in case

    I hope so too. We both want to be there and we're trying to make the move responsibly, but the old me keeps yelling in my ear "just quit and GO". Stupid old me.

    I'm sorry, Fredwina. I'm sending happy job-finding thoughts to you!

    Can I gripe about how much bra shopping sucks? I usually wear cotton sports bras. Alas, many of them are 4-5 years old at this point, and the elastic is going. While I'm keeping a stock of them around, I also have a shortage of regular bras--and I'm going to eventually have to get used to wearing one! I have a brand I like. One (and only one ) style of theirs fits me perfectly. Trouble is, they're expensive. There's another brand that's less expensive, and the bras are cuter. Alas, they run a bit small, and it's hit-or-miss with their styles. I tried their online size calculator out of curiosity. It puts me at a 38D. Based on numbers, yes. In reality, most of that bust measurement is actually ribcage. Sadly, they don't have a store in my area. I'd have to drive to Columbus to try anything on! And did I mention that I'm nearly broke? I wouldn't bother, but the alternative of going around in non-supportive bras is not appealing either.

    I think this is the one thing that's more annoying than shopping for bikes, computers or jeans! (Okay, for most people, shopping for bikes isn't annoying, but shops very seldom have anything in my size...)
    At least I don't leave slime trails.
