| Arizona People OK?? I just talked to a friend of mine that lives in CHandler AZ and he was telling me about the fires out there. I was wondering if everyone is OK. |

| Thanks for your thoughts! Fires are very common this time of the year around here. They usually though aren't so close to Phoenix like what they have been this year. It is very sad seeing people's houses burnt to the ground! My home isn't affected in any way as I live in the same area that your friend does but my husband in his job relies on materials brought in from the north and with some roads closing the loss of work has been a bit stressful but that's life because it could be worse and we are thankful it's not.

| Well, I hope everything works out for you. I will be making a trip out there in October or november. I usually dont come out in the summer since we have heat here too. But when it is cold out I like to come down there and enjoy the warmth. |

| I know exactly what you mean I am from Minnesota originally so I understand all about escaping the cold weather! I was back in Minnesota over X-mas and I literally thought I was going to freeze to death...If you have any free time when you come down give me a hollar I would love to buy you lunch!

| When I read the title I thought you were going to ask everyone's opinion of people from Arizona. To which my response would be: they're great except they hate smokers. Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well down there too. I have family in Scottsdale and they know people who have been affected.

| Reconsmomma: Just PM when you make your plans and I will give you my number. I would love to meet you and Teddy would cherish being able to play with someone his size. StewiesMom: How true they hate smokers down here! At times I have to remind myself that we live in a free country! I respect everyone's view on the subject and I know there are some real bone heads out there that are rude in regard to smoking. If you couldn't tell by now I am a smoker...but I am a very respectful smoker who doesn't smoke around kids, my pets or even in my own house. It's a bad habit that hopefully when this 12 year daughter with attitude of mine gets through the difficult teen thing I can break! Right now it's I either smoke to relieve my stress or I choke her to death so of the 2 the smoking seems the way to go... I think that they are doing pretty good on the fires in getting them contained. It's so dry at this point that lightening is starting a lot of them. I saw pictures in the paper today of some of the homes that burnt and it is very sad. I don't think many of them had much warning because it was almost as if they went to work in the morning and then by afternoon when they tried to get to their homes they were being turned away. I can't even imagine....

| Im a smoker too but as you said I am very respectful when I smoke. I have alot of stress. Wont get into it though. LOL. At least not right now. I knew that there were a few AZ people here but didn't know how close they were in relation to the fires. I am glad that you are OK and that my friends and family out there are ok. My close friend lives in CHandler and works for Intel and my aunt and uncle live in Glibert. Cant remember what school they both work for though. I know that they are all ok. Now I am even more excited to come out there to visit. Some one new to meet. |

| Very cool! The people you know are with in close distance to me it seems. I look forward to you visiting also! I am always up for some midwest company who can relate to various things only midwest people can relate too. I think if you remember back a while I talked to you before. I believe I asked you if you were a packers fan...Does that ring a bell?

| Hey no problem. I know that it is hotter than hell there right now but at least you aren't dealing with the humidity that we are here. |

| You know that humidity thing so made me chuckle. I talked with my sister back in Minnesota and she said I saw your temps down there how can you live there and I shot back well I saw your humidity there and so tell me how do you breath there?
