Mid 30′s looking to be near my family again, moving back with my native CA fiance- are we insane? I love my morning hikes…and trips to SB, wine country, etc. but I am over the fact that I can’t socialize with any of my friends because everyone lives a major traffic jam away- no matter what the day or hour. My company is giving me a job and I can live basically anywhere in the NY metro area- but we are NOT rich, very middle income. That’s part of the reason we’re moving because if you want to buy something affordable out here you have to go to godawful places like Palmdale, Sunland, and when you work in LA proper- forget about it. I’m in sales and in the car ALL the time. However, does it beat being in the SUBWAY all the time- rush hour in August I remember was way worse then the 405 on Friday at 5 pm- at least I have my radio, ac, and no body pressed up against me. HELP- I am struggling with this like you wouldn’t believe and making my fiance crazy!

He is in pleasant valley prison in Coalinga, CA. Before they transferred him there he was in Lancaster, CA. His counselor at Lancaster state prison told him just before they transferred him that his official release date was March 1, 2006. Now last week Pleasant Valley is telling him it is not until April 18, 2006. Is there some way I can find out why ? They won’t tell him anything. He has not had any trouble or anything.
