And might even help with global warming, I said might.

People want to keep the dirty jobs in the city and live in a fresh clean suburb so I guess the slower mph (I suggest 40-45) and smaller engines wouldn't get them over the bridge and through the traffic in time.

I wish we could plan our living /working a little better. I though the Internet would help but I guess not that much.

In time if we have enough it might change. Cause what we have creates havoc.

When many of working people could do most of their jobs from home.

Why I like a small town.

Don't get me wrong; there was a time I loved the city and all it had to offer, I even liked the bustle and craziness. But I was too young to know I was in danger and thoughts of saving for tomorrow's generation hadn't yet sunk in...

I always likes small towns, lived in them most of my life.. I really never did like big cities.. To much for me. Now I am stuck in a mid size city. Ugh

I have made the decision to leave London and move to the coast. I have been thinking of leaving London for some time and my time here by the coast now is the push I need. London is so stressful and the pace of life by the coast or in the countryside is so different from the noise, crime, general bad manners and pollution. In London nobody knows their neighbours and there is no community spirit. People are constantly moving in, moving out and there is no stability.

Yes, but not only that. The people in more rural areas are so laid-back, there is no pressure and the clean air is good. I am not only thinking about now, but for 10 or 20 years' time. I have nothing to keep me in London and my job as a gastroenterology/colorectal typist has me working home-based anyway for a typing company so in fact I would not be losing out. Rents are so much cheaper out of London too.

I have wanted to leave London for years. People are so relaxed out of London and at my age if I have the will and opportunity to move it is a good idea to do that now.

The only problem is finding work which is possible, yet harder than in London.

I do hope you find a way.

On April 21, 2012, nearly 1000 flash mobbers came together in Seattle to celebrate the 3rd Annual Glee Flash Mob in what has become the biggest Glee fan event in the country! They too were surprised when in the middle of the mob there was a marriage proposal. The show is all about diversity and love, and the mob celebrates every facet of the show. You might even see Mr. Schue if you look hard enough...

6-Year-Old Boy Walks to His U.S. Marine Father for the First Time - YouTube

Quote:

“When my husband left on his deployment, our 6-year-old son could not walk on his own. He has cerebral palsy. Doctors originally said that he would never walk or do much of anything. While daddy was away, he learned to walk. For his homecoming, we set it up for Michael to walk to his daddy for the first time ever! We kept the fact that he could walk a secret the whole time his dad was gone!”
