- Phoebe,
- Yes, I have to agree that RI isn't all that bad. But what you mentioned
- about meeting people is also a problem for those of us near 30 too! It
- seems the bars, clubs etc. are all too plastic.
-
- And I have to disagree with your sons comments about the weather, it
- doesn't suck 'some of the time', it sucks ALL the time. :)
