It sounds like you have nice coworkers and that means a lot. I'm sure you'll find something that suits your needs and is comfortable too. It's nice to know you have people that can help you up there too.

I'm 64, going on 65 on Nov.14 but as I have all my hair, not much grey ones and totally hairless on my face and body, I look much younger. I fooled many men in the past... LOL!! <br /><br />For your apartment search, just let those nice people help you and take your time to find a place you'll be happy to live in after your work. That was an advice one of my best friend told me in 1999 when I divorced. Live in a nice place that will comfort you and that you like to live in. Home sweet home.<br /><br />I'm sure they will also give you good advices on where is the best part of that town. <br /><br />All is going to be settled in time and, as I told you: wait until you get to the bridge to cross it.... Time will make it clear and good... <br /><br />I'm excited for you and I wish you ALL good things in your future life.JiELhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03290330475832440721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-1506468071009241052015-09-25T08:24:48.082-04:002015-09-25T08:24:48.082-04:00Excellent news about your neighbor, Joe.

But how reassuring your coworkers and others are there for you to help ease the way. In the end I know it will all work out. I love the way you just casually say, "I may have to fly up next week and do some searching." This, from the guy who hates to fly! How times have changed. :)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705603797740188813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-6254258073302809752015-09-25T08:23:56.258-04:002015-09-25T08:23:56.258-04:00We are in the middle of trying to find an apartmen...We are in the middle of trying to find an apartment in Madison, which is only fifty miles away, and that, too, is a challenge. Part of our problem is not knowing when we plan to move, but knowing that it is at least six months away. Most places don't know what will be available until two to three months before the move-in date. Minor problem, but we both would like to know where we will wind up.<br /><br />Glad Miss E came through her surgery well. Don't necessarily dismiss reports of errors on birth certificates. My father and I were both born in Georgia. His birth certificate said he was born on September 17, 1921 although his mother swore all her life that he had been born on October 17. The government -- for tax purposes, etc -- eventually declared he was born in September, but that was because there was a piece of paper from the state that said so, despite the contrary claims of his family members. My mother and I both continued to believe the family, but my father took advantage and celebrated two birthdays for the rest of his life.<br /><br />When I was born, May 19, 1950, for some reason no birth certificate was ever filed. When I started school in September of 1956, the delayed birth certificate the same state of Georgia issued arrived with a birth date of September 1, 1956 -- the date the certificate was filed, not the date I was born. Had that been true, I would have started first grade when I was less than a week old. Fortunately both doctor and attending nurse were still around to testify as witnesses, and my parents were able to get the documents corrected.Michael Doddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00942287172727040371noreply@blogger.com
