uum, what's not too like. Well, this is a small island (55,000 population half of which are from another islands to the east{see map} so the small population a thing I don't like at times (other times I do like it) - community is important.
What do you like and what do you not like about where you live?

The Economy has remained strong here through the recission, which is a big advantage for me being in business for myself. I like 3 of the 4 seasons, but December, January and February are too cold to enjoy normal activities. Then there's also the challenges of living around snow. When I owned my motorcycle, I would have to park it 4 or 5 months out of the year. There's skiiing, of course, which can be nice, but the slopes are crowded and it's quite expensive. The Rocky Mountains are our beach-front for beauty and outdoor activities. Where I live in downtown Salt Lake City, most residents are very liberal and progressive, but outside of that area most are conservative and members of the Mormon faith. More diversity would be welcomed. There are approximately two million people living in the state. I was on a work assignment last year in Western Samoa for 4 months and both my sisters live in Kauai so I've been charmed by my time visiting there. Many people living there want to live on the mainland, and those of us here ... long for the sea. Perhaps we're born by nature with wanderlust? The natives in Samoa were hospitable, but with some their kind gestures were tempered too obviously with a financial agenda.
Are there many native people who still live in the Caymans?

Cool Background!- thanks.
The islands are very British so we are the natives settled here circa 1700. I like the blend both European Culture and North American culture - plus it's safe. I suppose the only thing I do not like about it is we get alot of people here from the other Caribbean Islands and they bring some crime in, but we are tightening immigration thankfully.

[QUOTE=Hawg Horse;1188800]The best show of affection is that look :)
true that look is VERY important and powerful, it can literally make my heart skip a beat, but also touch and displays of affection are important, pay attention to what makes that person happy and surprise them with little treats to show them you were thinking of them, and let them know you feel, even if it's awkward for you the most important thing is to be sincere.

Like the spirit of Christmas, but I'm usually relieved by the time it's over. These last few years, I've thought of running away to a place in the sun for the holidays, but never quite get up the nerve. Family first ... usually carries the Big day. I live alone and my children are grown and live on their own, but reside in the general area. Their Mother passed on several years ago now, so ... I'll most likely be cookin' again this year and spreadin' a little peace ... and joy. Hope yours are Merry and Bright.
Do you believe in God?
