Moving! But With Doubt? -

I will be moving from norfolk va to el paso texas (bear cat ridge). I just want to know what s it like there? do they dress different like cow boy boots? how do they talk? do they welcome people thats not from their area?

El Paso Tx is not a cowboy kind of town. Since they are so close to Mexico, a lot of Mexicans and Hispanics (they are not the same thing) live there. It s very very hot there, and it snows maybe one day a year. I lived there about 15 years ago, and it was very safe then, I don t really know about now. I lived in High Ridge, which is almost right next to Franklin High School on the Westside. The eastside really scared me, and we wouldn t go over there often. They talk like normal people lol, maybe with a little more Spanish. I lived there for 4 years, then I moved to Virginia. The climate and people are different for sure, but everyone is nice and welcoming.

Where is the best snow tubing in oregon? Ive tubed Mt. Bachelor, is Bachelor the best of the best? -

Mt. Hood is the best.

Mount Bachelor can be either very very good, or very very bad depending on if it is warm and rainy or not. When it rains, it s icy and the surface can be slick or sticky. Sometimes both.An extensive snow tubing area is part of Ski Bowl on Mount Hood. http://www.skibowl.com/tubing2.htm It is the snow resort closest to Portland, inexpensive, has decent vertical, and it is open the most hours even most nights until 11 pm. There are days when it is better than Bachelor, and other days when it is worse.

Bachelor is for out of state geekshttp://www.cooperspur.com/skiing_tubing.��

I have neverr been there,But heard it is the best.

New York City apartment question? -

Okay, so this is the first year I have rented an apartment in the city, and my last. The only thing is, is that my lease is until the end of June, and I want to go and take a trip by at least the beginning of June. My rent is expensive, so I don t want to lose a whole month. Also my apartment is furnished, and I don t particularly want any of the furniture I have now (its all second hand stuff), and would prefer just to leave it.My question, what is the most practical thing for me today do come May? Should I post something on Craig s list where I advertise a furnished apartment with a 13 month lease (where they would just sublet from me and then take over my lease come the end of June), so I don t have to deal with my furniture? I should I try to get someone to sublet it for a month and have them ditch the furniture after? I think about this all the time and am so stressed about how I am going to get out of here to take a trip, but not lose a whole month worth of rent doing it. Anybody with any kind of NYC apt experience have any advice?

Sure,Check your lease and make sure you are allowed to sublet. If so, post an ad on Craigslist advertising the place for a one month sublet. It shouldn t be a problem finding someone. Try subletting it for the price of rent for the month plus a one month security (for if they trash the place). With the furniture, you may offer it to whoever is going to sublet the place. You could always leave it there, but then you d more than likely not get your deposit back. Or, start selling the stuff on Craigslist now.Another option: At the end of the month, put up a Craigslist ad for free furniture. People will come by and take it all, I m sure.I ve sublet my place before while going on trips. It saves you a ton of money.Good luck!
