In reply to the discussion: That high school Obama spoke at Sunday night? [View all]maddiemom
(5,106 posts)53. With some delay, I appreciate your reply.
I've only been to Las Vegas twice and enjoyed both times. My preference for full time living is around the ocean, though I only spent a couple of years full time and college summers there. Next I prefer mountains and a lot of greenery, which I've had living in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and eastern Kentucky. The desert is beautiful, I agree. No offense, I'm just grateful to have experienced living in different areas in the East, and wish I'd had the chance (now a senior citizen not able to travel as much as I'd like) to spend time actually living in more areas of the country. As a resident, even if only a few years, you can truly appreciate new areas (or not, sadly for those for those not open to new experiences).

You are a life saver. I've met several public school teachers and staff who I rate that way.
