    RIET,

    My wife is a realtor with Keller Williams. If you have a home to sell she would love to help you out (or anybody else). She will even give you the cc.net discount...

    Email me your wife's name. My wife is right here next to me and Ill ask her. I am sure she does. She knows just about everyone there, especially if they have been around for a while.




    Riet,

    Sorry for that bud. Have fun freezing your arse off. ;)

    I'll be working in Farmington Connecticut. The place where Oski's sister had a secret rendezvous with Jon Bon Jovi.

    I'll be the Financial Planning Manager for one of the insurance firms.

    If you want bad financial advice or even worse legal advice, Im the one to talk to.

    JERRY: You like Chinese food, 'cos I once went to a great Szechwan restaurant in
    this neighbourhood. I don't remember the exact address... (he spots a mailman
    crouched emptying a box) Uh, excuse me, you must know where the Chinese
    restaurant is around here.

    The mailman stands, turns and is revealed as Chinese. He takes offence.

    MAILMAN: Why must I know? Because I'm Chinese? You think I know where all the
    Chinese restaurants are? (adopts hackneyed Chinese accent) Oh, ask honolable
    Chinaman for rocation of lestaulant.

    JERRY: I asked because you were the mailman, you would know the neighbourhood.

    MAILMAN: Oh, hello American Joe. Which way to hamburger, hotdog stand? (storms
    away)

    Two points

    1) You're gonna freeze your arse off in the winter! :eek: Better you than me..

    2) They do get hurricanes up there from time to time..not real likely, but possible.

    Good luck RIET..;)

    The only hurricane I've experienced was when I lived in Storrs, Connecticut in 1985.
