Shyrley,
Have you checked out Northern CA (around Mt Shasta)? Also
parts of Washington State. A lot of Ex-Pats go there because of
the climate. I know there is snow there, but I think you have to go
inland for it.
I also did the findyourspot.com thing. It came up with Paradise,
CA (where I live) as one of my 'spots'. I was amazed!

Tamzin is also into cleaning at the moment. She wants to help
me do everything at the moment! I'm in shock.

Do any of you know of anyone who has built a straw-bale house?
I'm planning to build my own house next year and am seriously
considering a straw-bale house. I am interested in the
viewpoints of people who have built them and live in them. TIA

Here's a giggle for you all.

Love Meghan


The following in an excerpt from a children's book, "Captain
Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants", by
Dave Pilkey: The evil Professor forces everyone to assume new
names...

Use the third letter of your first name to determine your New
first name:
>> > > a=poopsie
>> > > b=lumpy
>> > > c=buttercup
>> > > d=gidget
>> > > e=crusty
>> > > f=greasy
>> > > g=fluffy
>> > > h=cheeseball
>> > > i=chim-chim
>> > > j=stinky
>> > > k=flunky
>> > > l=booger
>> > > m=pinky
>> > > n=zippy
>> > > o=goober
>> > > q=slimy
>> > > r=loopy
>> > > s=snotty
>> > > t=tulefel
>> > > u=dorkey
>> > > v=squeezit
>> > > w=oprah
>> > > x=skipper
>> > > y=dinky
>> > > z=zsa zsa.

Use the second letter of your last name to determine the first
half of your New last name:

>> > > a = diaper
>> > > b = toilet
>> > > c = giggle
>> > > d = burger
>> > > e = girdle
>> > > f = barf
>> > > g = lizard
>> > > h = waffle
>> > > i = cootie
>> > > j = monkey
>> > > k = potty
>> > > l = liver
>> > > m = banana
>> > > n = rhino
>> > > o = bubble
>> > > p = hamster
>> > > q = toad
>> > > r = gizzard
>> > > s = pizza
>> > > t = gerbil
>> > > u = chicken
>> > > v = pickle
>> > > w = chuckle
>> > > x = tofu
>> > > y = gorilla
>> > > z = stinker

Use the fourth letter of your last name to determine the second
half of your New last name:

>> > > a = head
>> > > b = mouth
>> > > c = face
>> > > d = nose
>> > > e = tush
>> > > f = breath
>> > > g = pants
>> > > h = shorts
>> > > i = lips
>> > > j = honker
>> > > k = butt
>> > > l = brain
>> > > m = tushie
>> > > n = chunks
>> > > o = hiney
>> > > p = biscuits
>> > > q = toes
>> > > r = buns
>> > > s = fanny
>> > > t = sniffer
>> > > u = sprinkles
>> > > v = kisser
>> > > w = squirt
>> > > x = humperdinck
>> > > y = brains
>> > > z = juice

Thus, for example, George W. Bush's new name is Gober
Chickenshorts.
Bill Clinton's name is Booger Liverchunks.
