If you use acronyms, assume half the readers won't know what you're talking about.

I voted for PA because my heart lies there, even though I currently reside in the great mistake of Texas.

I'm familiar with BFE, but I've always preferred BFI, since I am, y'know, in the US.
Where in the US? THE GREAT PACIFIC NORTHWEST!!! |

BFE was included for fun. "Anywhere else" is a much more boring option, and I like the "alliteration" of the abbreviations :p I figured those who don't know what it means are smart enough to google and we discussed it on here not so long ago. Plus it's not a real poll if you don't have to think about some of the options
See, though, the Texans are taking over ....if Brian wasn't fighting so hard the score'd be 7 to 6...... Those of us in the boonies () just don't count.....

I thought everyone knew what BFE was, overseas company excepted.
But of all Bruce's examples, this is my favorite: Bold Freehand Extrapolation. I don't know why, it makes me feel empowered. Grrr...

I'm trying! I'm trying!
It's the wife! She won't move to PA for any money. Apparently, it's too cold and damp for her bones or some such nonsense. Or she won't know anyone. Or there will be some Mexican-hater there. Or it's too far from her family. She's got every excuse in the world why she won't go there. We're trying to relocate to Dallas area now for the medical proximity for us both. Better doctors and hospitals you see. Some who even specialize in my conditions. I see it more as a stepping stone back home. If she can live there, she can live in Tennessee. If she can live THERE, she can live in Philly. I think she would like it there if she's only give it a try. It's not THAT humid or cold. No more than here, anyway. Sure, it rains more but then the sun comes out again. Humidity reigns in August but they make these de-humidifiers for houses that I would install. And air-conditioning is nearly universal, unlike here where it is still considered a novelty and extravagance. There is even a Mexican community so she can get a fix when she needs one. Maybe a few week long vacation will help her change her mind one summer. We'll see. Brian
