just FYI in case people don't know why i want to move away from tucson, az:

when we came home, we found in front of our door on the doormat:

1) a BIG tarantula of the size of an pear

2) three of the tiny, really mean poisonous scorpions underneath the doormat

3) a walking stick on the door

4) 5 praying manthesis on the window next to the door

while we were debating on how to get into the house without neither the tarantula nor the scorpions attacking us, we heard the cojotes and the wild bores in the backyard grunting and howling.

any questions??????????????

Hmmm - I don't mind the mantises although have become less impressed with them now I know they fly...

I'm guessing the doormat was lifted to try and remove the spider hence finding the scorpions?? We were going to get a doormat and now I am not so sure...

I'm most concerned about the wild bores. Who knows what trouble those contradictory fellows might be up to?

Oh Julez you're so bad

I bet once your out of town guests arrive on your doormat, you'll be wishing they were actually tarantulas or scorpions as they're much easier to be rid of and don't demand to be entertained!

Maybe they could be left on the doorstep to deter aforementioned guests I am sure they might think twice about wanting to stay with you then Maybe you could coax a couple of bugs into their rooms

Scott's EAD was approved today! Yay!!

Finally we can be a 2-income household.

I hope AP follows shortly on its heels.

Agnes - tell them you have developed the bubonic plague and are unable to accommodate them OR even see them at this time as you are highly contagious

Jeremy's boss double booked himself so we have to wait until tomorrow afternoon now We are currently playing video games and drinking beer in a bid to forget that Jeremy's "interim assistant manager" position rides on tomorrow's meeting... maybe

i keep my fingers crossed for you!!!

IN THE NAME OF THE WEE MAN....I'm never going to AZ. Worst thing I have to deal with are non poisonous but very ugly garter snakes nesting outside my living room (had to fish one out of the pool a few weeks ago), A couple of weeks ago I met my first rattle snake (SCARY!!) and 1 month after getting here I was bitten by a nasty spider that made my arm swell up and bruise. Been warned to look out for brown recluses and black widows.

Everything will be fine. Go on, take a peek.

Oh that's great news!! Well done

my Australian shipment just arrived!

Aww I am sure it will all be fine!!! I forgot you had things coming from Oz and the UK!!! We are still yet to have any furniture suitable to house my things when they arrive...

I am having a lonely day. Jeremy doesn't have many friends - just people he works with and people who won't drive out to Palm Springs because it is "too far". So I don't even have the company of those people from time to time. He's never been a very social person and I am going mad. I've been looking into doing evening classes but can't get hold of the people I am trying to find things out about it all

I'm just feeling miserable right now

**hugs**

Boy, do I know how you feel. Scott isn't exactly a sociable kind of person and that's made it difficult for me to meet people over here. Not working doesn't help either. I'm looking forward to living in an apartment complex because they have social evenings and such like so I should get to know a few people.

I hope you feel better soon.

Hey girl, I know its tough adjusting. *hugs* Just get out there and try to find some friends of your own. I know you did one volunteer gig, but have you looked into anything a bit more long term, like the SPCA or something? Just keep at it and try not to let things get you down.

[Jeraly 4]

Yeah - think I am just having a bad day and it irks me when Jeremy tells me to "get out there and make friends" like it's the easiest thing in the world and he barely has any after living here all his life!!!

I'm still looking into doing evening classes or something. Although we are in a small set of apartments, I barely see any neighbours aside from the Mexicans, and while I am sure they are very lovely people (they seem really sweet and friendly) as they communicate solely in Spanish, broken English and signing I am restricted somewhat in terms of communication

Another reason for me to learn Spanish but am getting nowhere in finding affordable classes... Maybe I should just learn online... of course, that doesn't solve the social aspect of things... Hrmph... I think me I need to do some investimagating...

[*julez* 124]

My apologies, Aly, if I sounded trite. I didn't mean to be. I'm sure it is difficult to just go out and make friends. Taking some classes is a good way to find friends, and like I said, maybe some other volunteer opportunity. If you like animals, those types of organizations are always looking for help.

[Jeraly 4]

Oh didn't think you sounded trite at all Julez - in fact I had to see what you had written to figure out what you were apologising for!!! I might check out some local charities that might not be advertising - I mean, if I am prepared to work for free then who would turn that down?!?!

hope so much you'll fell better soon!

hey, you could start making your CV look pretty and look for jobs! your EAD will be here sooner than you know!!

did you find any meetups in PS?

i am greatful for being able to go to work, just to be busy. even though my coworkers suck.

congratulations to the EAD!

oh, unpack your boxes, stp!!!!!!!!! i'm sure that everything made it safely!!!!

[Jeraly 4]

Yeah well I am currently looking up business plan templates for the business I want to set up but haven't done anything about yet!! There are so many different things out there that I think it is going to take a little research but at least it gives me something to focus on. I think I am also finding the lack of routine difficult - that and, even though it sounds silly, a bath - I had a bath every day when we travelled around Arizona because I miss just being able to take some time to soak and relax

Maybe when I get a job I will pay to go to some cheap motel somewhere kinda close so I can have a bath once a month Ohhh I don't think I will ever want to get out

[VisaJourneyLady 33]

Hey Aly, you can come visit here once a month for your bath if you like!! Or just come to say hi if you're feeling lonesome. I know it doesn't solve the PS friends problem, but it's nice to chat in person to people here and there.

I've met a few people looking for work, but no one that I would say that I'm likely to become friends with yet. I tend to make more friends through work, so maybe they will come along when I find a job. But I think that the classes idea sounds great. Are there any business colleges or courses nearby? It could help you get to grips with the local business laws etc.
