Isolated Blurt Thread

Fairbanks is beautiful at this time of year. Not cold at all. We spent four months there in the summer of '05 and fell in love with the place...it's beautiful and the people are amazingly open and friendly. The 22 hours of sunlight at the solstice is interesting...they have the midnight sun festival at the solstice every year. And then when it gets late enough in the summer for the place to actually start having night again, when there's decent solar activity you can see the northern lights. Get away from town and you can HEAR the northern lights.

Head south down the Richardson Highway towards Anchorage or Valdez and you see the mountains and some glaciers, and some beautiful rivers and waterfalls. Head north toward the Circle on the Steese Highway and you see the gold dredges and their tailings piles, and hills and itty bitty provinicial towns that haven't been touched by anybody but their inhabitants and the occasional traveler in decades. On both highways you travel along the pipeline; you can stop at parking pullouts and walk over to the service road, and walk along the pipeline to your heart's content.

In short, I want to be there because I miss the place. If there was any place we ever visited during those eighteen months on the road that we'd want to move to, it's Fairbanks. Cost of living is ridiculously expensive up there though (except for gasoline), and while we're sure we could deal with the cold of the winter we aren't sure we could deal with the 3 hour days between November and January. So we stay put.

Oh, now I understand... I didn't know it is so beautiful there. Lets meet in Fairbanks. :rose:
 
Asshole. Take your head out of your rectum. Maybe if you weren't so fucking holier-than-thou, you wouldn't have to self-publish your stuff. Must be kinda lonely in your persecuted little world.
 
Ugh if you're retired...don't go fucking grocery shopping on a Sunday! Its bad enough with all the people that work all week in there...but add in the fact that you're there just congests the supermarket. Go on a fucking Tues when no one is there!

On the same hand, if you have a child take my advice, do not go shopping on thursday in england. That is retired shoppers day it seems and the stores are full and that makes a bad situation when wanting to feed cranky kiddie *nods*.

blurt~ today was damn near perfect and its a shame we had to come back to the real world.
 
Woooo vera nice!

Am in the midst of clearing out alongside the garage. For some reason they decided to make a grass trimmings compost heap...but didn't fence it in...so its just a huge mound of decomposing material...combined with house building materials, and tree trimmings. Made a great ground for weeds to grow -sigh-
 
Damnit, why is this still so hard? I just wish I knew if I was at least okay at this, or if I've been making a total ass of myself this whole time. :rolleyes:
 
One week from right now, there'll be a Bel in Casa de Imp. Gonna be interesting, since the ex is still in residence.

I'm ready. :eek: But I think it'd be easier if the promised step siblings were gonna be here with him.
