If you could relocate....

Interesting...we've considered back down towards southern Indiana, where I was born....or even Kentucky ??

The only thing that will keep me from living exactly where I live now might be old age down the road.  If it ever comes to that I will sell and move to the town where I work.  It's like working at "Cheers".  A great place.   But if I wanted to live close in with everything right around the corner I'd have to find homes for the horses, make the dogs stay in a fenced yard, and give up the solitude I enjoy here.

If I lived on a place like yours, Liz......I'd never move.....I'd just hire someone to stop by and see if we were still breathing, cremate us if dead, and feed the fish......a hammock by the fire, joint in my shirt pocket, cup of coffee sitting on a log, cats and dogs, birds close by, computer opened on my lap checking in here......*poifect*

I'd have a summer place in Tn and keep my FL home.

It's mighty nice here in New Bern NC Jon.  Look it up, folks from all over the US are moving here, especially retirees wanting to get away from hard winters and get near the ocean (30 mi).  It is a pretty, charming place, just the right amount of shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and lots of outdoor activities.  We love it here.

But where I live, out in the sticks, I am able to do as I choose without rules.  In New Bern they have all these rules that you're forced to abide by.  If you have a storm you have to pick up all fallen branches and haul them to the curb in a small amount of time or the home association will kick you out.  I can either cut mine into fire wood or leave them to rot.  I don't think that I could live with such strict rules.  I plan to stick to where I am for as long as I can.

That is my life.  It is indeed poifect.  I get the small amount of human contact I need right here on the forum and at work.   At work  I can run customers off with subtly (or not) if I don't like them  which it very rare.   Some, I'm able to be straight forward with them about what their dog needs and how often, and how much it will cost.  They are the best ones when they do as I say.  The lesser ones go elsewhere.  Others come in and give me a try and love me for the quality of my work.  They're good to but not as dependent upon me as the ones who stay with me when I tell them what their dog needs, and how often. and how much. I guess I'm a hard master, but I am the master of my domain so I can do as I choose. 

It is surely a glorious thing to be an empire of one...to be able to do as I choose.  Still, with my way of doing, it is remarkable that I have been more than able to keep my head above water (we need a "crazy" emoticon, Dennis, my friend).

Liz, that's just in the neighborhoods, in the city limits, who have HOA's.  There are plenty of nice houses where people can do as they please.  And lots of houses out in the country with lots of land.  You and Jon and Jan would find places to suit you.  Oops, that sounds kinky, sorry  . Separate houses of course.

I'd go somewhere where I could get a house with a concrete floor.

[greydragon]

where in TN is your summer home?

[ghonk]

What do you have now,dirt.

[LizStreithorst]

If you're a serious fish breeder a concrete slab is necessary.  We have floods sometimes   People who just like to keep fish and are very tidy and attentive can have tanks in their houses.  I'll have a minor flood by overflowing tanks once every few weeks.  I had a huge one last week because I forgot to turn of a valve.  My fish must be in their own room on a concrete slab.  A house is a terrible thing to ruin.
