My brother in law is my barber :chuckles: he's pretty good to. I don't know what it is, but it's hard to find a good barber. I hate having to find a new barber because i moved too far from my barber now.

You're not a native, get the fuck out of here!

Oregon has a lot! Amazing Skiing/snowboarding (bachelor and hood), beaches (usually only warm from June to September though ), and just about every climate under the sun.

John is just a cynical bastard.

Well I can understand finding a new barber but that has to be one of the lamest excuses to explain why you are afraid to move to a new state/county/city.

But you're black, how hard is it to just shave your head?

I own my home so I am an Oregomer...I would kill myself if I had been born here...what shame that would bring me.

No that isn't my main reason i dont wanna move far. All honesty it's Jasmine, she wants to stay closer to her family and plus i wanna be relatively close to "some" family members, the others can kick rocks. But i am going to move to a new state/county/city. I just have to find where. But i believe my time in this city has expired and long over due. Now that i am older and ready to start my own family and enter the next stage in my life i feel i need to move. But i do wanna be close to my barber though :shhh:

Hmm.. I live here because it's A whale's vagina. Dot.




No seriously.. This is as close to Hawaii as you can get on the mainland. I was born and raised by the ocean and I'll always live close to the ocean. I have tons of friends and family here. The legal community has a huge footprint in SD so I'll always have work. My neighbors on all sides are cool as shit. We get 300 days of sunshine a year and it's usually accompanied by a cool ocean breeze. Good food. Lots to do. Great opportunities for my kid(s) (hopefully)..

Cons:

Cost of living is rough, but with anyplace, you have to work hard and smart to afford the lifestyle.

Traffic is getting bad.. Was worse but with gas prices the way they are, it's tons better.

Avg. Lot size is less than 1/4 acre. I'm lucky to have scored a house with a legitimate front/back and side yards. We still toy with the idea of picking up a second place or just moving to a brand new house that's fully upgraded already, it's just not financially prudent to do so at the moment. The carrying costs+HOA+melloroos is just too much to deal with.

I think in a few years we'll seriously consider it, but it'll still be somewhere in San Diego.
