On (06 Mar 97) Marge Clark was mumbling to TIM DILL...
 MC> nope.  the QUOTE is california.   maybe because it's the californians
 MC> who are...brasher enough to complain about how it's done where they
 MC> are now?
 Not always (but I am begging a point ;-) California is a great place to 
 live... now if there was work to be had there.... but that's not the reason
 I moved here... I was unhappy there for 17 years... and it was not 
 the lack of seasons.. it was the other things... living like
 a gypsy, moving every three years not having a neighborhood that
 is HOME...
 MC> remembering my experiences with Marin Cnty meetings....  and Ray and
 MC> Tim and I chuckled some about 'em...and Harriet and I still do, now
 MC> that my life
 MC> experiences have...caught up with the quote that seemed so funny at
 MC> the time.. but I wouldn't sit in a meeting there and say "well, in
 MC> Nashville we do it THIS way..."...  it would just be RUDE, you know?
 Yes I do know.. however it's not that the meetings have changed any
 it's just that my needs have not been met by AA for a long time
 (about the time I discovered BBS'ing) so I took it to the boards
 to hear how other folks did it elsewhere...
 Billy always grated me for some reason I could not put my finger on..
 I found out why over on Higher_power... I mirror him/he mirrors me
 I saw that finally in one of his recent messages...
 MC> I remember Mr. Wrong, when he finally did get sober, used to rave
 MC> about some meetings over on the keys...
 Never made it down that way...
 MC> yep.  that's the trouble with running on batteries...you gotta get
 MC> plugged in occassionally.  ;-)
 Yes, but now I have a direction to go in...
 MC> yep.  SAD is a reality for a lot of us...  and, for you, a form of
 MC> culture shock...that's partly the sort of thing I was referring to. 
 MC> moving from so. cal to NYC in WINTER is...  masochistic?
 Winter is not bad... BTW I moved in MAY of last year hardly winter
 but surviving one has me itching for sunnier climes...
 now this IDEA of moving to florida has got me intrigued....
 but I'll miss skiing...
 OY, Choices.....
