To understand, you have to realize that many
multi-generational Oregonians (I am third generation) resent
it when "others" (we'll call them "Californians" for this
discussion) find conditions in their state so onerous (too
crowded, too smoggy, too expensive..., too etc....), that
they pack up and move to [another state], where costs are
lower, weather is nicer, and the population is much smaller.
Then they use the money from the sale of their overpriced
California McMansion to build an even BIGGER McMansion here,
complain about the weather and long for more sun, and when
enough of them come, start complaining about the
overcrowding.
Mostly, it's a friendly war of words. ;-)

Aaarrgghh! I hate and loath the thought of them crawling on
me....

Maybe it's time to see a medical doctor? I have no quarrel
with homeopathics but perhaps he/she is unable successfully
to treat your migraines? Just my impression, you seem to
have migraines very often.

LOL!
I am making a couple of lightweight cotton outfits for
casual, and a sparkly silk top for a dressy occasion while
we are there.

Yes, she has four costumes changes for her dances.
She'll be wearing the new kilt and velvet jacket and the
Nationals/Aboyne outfit,
http://ickes.us/Highland.aspx
the jig outfit SHE made (with my supervision)
http://www.kodakgallery.com/ShareLanding.action?c=jwqxlbn.wmgc2in&x=0&y=-k5zr8&localeid=en_US
and a sailor outfit my DD made a couple of months ago. They
are in Vancouver B.C., Canada this weekend for another
competition, I haven't heard from them yet how things went.
I could not go along for good luck this time, I forgot to
get my passport in time.

No, it's really about newcomers attempting to re-create the
hell they left in the heaven they migrate to.

Hope the ankle mends quickly and you're back on your feet
soon.

Thanks, I hope it will. Anyway, I'll be away for just a few days and then
I'll find time to write and read a little more in this group. OK, I'll see
you girls round... ;-) (Please keep your fingers crossed for me, operation
is on Tuesday.)

Bestes des Glücks, Ursula! I hope the surgery goes well,
and your recovery is swift.
