Driving home by herself from a business meeting in North Jersey, having a quick bite to eat in the car. Accidentally eats a peanut. She is allergic to them. Had to pull into a rest area and call 911 who brought her to the ER. Good times. Woah!! Glad everything is ok. Yikes... Quote

"I can't breathe.". "You are talking to me so you can breathe. Do you have a history of anxiety or panic attacks?" He told her EMTs were on the way and then hung up on her. She had to sit in her car in a rest area parking lot for 20 minutes by herself waiting for the ambulance to arrive. Again .... woah! Yea, I wouldn’t be happy about that.... If that’s not normal operating procedure for a 911 dispatcher ... I’d want that person out of a job... Quote

Has she considered self-publishing? 3 hours ago, Weave said: I seem to recall there is an online self publishing outfit. Sorry, all I got. She has looked into it, but thinks that if someone else who knows what they are doing takes over, it would most likely go farther than we could ever take it. Just have to find the right one. Quote

Just have to find the right one. The good news with self-publishing is that you can start and no one else has rights or control. There are quite a few authors out there who started that way and then grew their business. It could help to seek a few out and potentially get their feedback or read on their experiences.. Since I don't know any publishers, it's the best I can offer. ? 1 Quote

After a 30 year career of moving on where my job took me, I said in retirement that she could decide where we live. She hates NE as much as I do, but hasn't said where were going to move. If you're married. you don't dare ask when are you going to make a decision on where we're going to live. So here I am in Lincoln.NE, happily married, and hoping she decides REAL soon where the flip we're going to move to. Quote

But I don't have that choice and 3 hours from home is as far as my wife will allow us to get. ? Quote

Funny too that we thought of Taos as a retirement spot. Burlington is great but way pricey and not diverse at all. Salt Lake is really clique with the LDS people. It was strange to meet new people and the first question they ask is what church you belonged to. My wife and I were like, when's the last time you had sex with one of your wives. Needless to say, we didn't last long in Utah. Seems as though we have similar taste in cities. I'm curious to see where you end up. Edited March 7, 2020 by Tondas Quote

Salt Lake is a good city though. And you get used to the quirky booze laws eventually. The last time I was there I might have gotten hammered and then went to see choir practice at the Temple lol it was weird but hey Edited March 7, 2020 by darksabre Quote

I always said, if you have any vice and move to Vegas, be very careful., booze gambling , girls, etc. it''s not a good place for you. Other than that, it's a fabulous place to live. Quote

Roller coaster at Whiskey Pete's and golf in primm was about the only thing I was old enough to do on my first time there in 2001. My vices are drinking alone in my house and staying away from other people. I'm entirely city proof. I'd live in a cabin on Mt. Charleston. 1 hour ago, darksabre said: Salt Lake is a good city though. And you get used to the quirky booze laws eventually.
