I've been on here all afternoon and evening as I'm basically shut in.  This is my first 'down day' in weeks. Thanks to this group who make me think and laugh till the tears run  . We know you have another down day coming up in a month too!  |

haha, the joke in the US is that you have to retire in Mexico because Social Security is so low.  The fact that the cost of living is low in Mexico is just a bonus! I love the culture, people, food, natural beauty, etc. If I could earn what I make in Japan, but in Mexico, I'd move there in a heartbeat. I don't have a stomach for the food! I'll just have to move north to Canada! |

My ancestors were sheep thieves in the Scottish highlands, English schoolmasters and Ontario mining. You'd think that would count for something but my instinct is RUN!!!! |

It can be lovely and warm there but it is rarely as HOT as it can get here in the summer. |

It can be lovely and warm there but it is rarely as HOT as it can get here in the summer. ... and never humid at the same time. Winter however is very damp and it chills you to the bone. I remember as a kid getting up in winter and everything feeling damp. That of course was before we had central heating which my dad installed when I was a teen. |
