What is your dream lifestyle of the moment? Me I'd love to live in either france or Italy. Somewhere

[applegrove]

where the food in shops is really fresh and delicious. I'd love to have a job doing something in politics...not so much organizing as much as policy wonking. You?

[MrScorpio]

1. The South of France... Easy

Somewhere between Nice and Cannes. I'm lucky enough to have seen that area for myself.

[WinkyDink]

23. Antibes? (Been there, also!)

[MrScorpio]

29. I found out after I left there that it was Picasso's old stomping grounds

I was NOT a happy camper about that news… I missed an opportunity to visit the museum there.

[Arugula Latte]

2. I'm with you -- France or Italy are my top two daydream countries.

I'd like to live on the water and shop for my fresh produce in the market every day. In my daydream work doesn't really enter the picture, though. :)

[Maccagirl]

17. Yes, Lake Como, Italy

In George Clooney's house (until he kicks me out). :evilgrin:

[Arugula Latte]

18. Damn!

Scooch over, I want some of that! :evilgrin:

[freshwest]

3. Wales

[freshwest]

28. I misread. I live in my dream place. I'd love to spend a while in Wales with friend, though.

[csziggy]

4. I like where I live, I love my farm.

I have two wishes - one that pRick Scott would take all his RepubliCON friends and just go away forever.

Two, that I could live without pain.

[MilesColtrane]

5. Salzburg

I blame early and repeated viewings of The Sound of Music as a child for this fixation.

[seabeyond]

6. in the mountains, middle of no where. colorado, wy, montana. by a lake or

river. acreage. small home easy to heat and keep cool to keep at my ideal tempature. horses, dogs. internet and my kindle. small town not far away.

[hifiguy]

7. I am with you on the policy-wonking

and doing some writing on other subjects that interest me.

Location? Base me on New Zealand's north island somewhere - I really like Wellington and a little college city called Palmerston North where some friends of mine used to live. With plenty of time also spent on the beaches in Puhket, Thailand and Vung Tau, Vietnam with a drink in one hand and a book in the other, watching the waves.

Vung Tau Beach:

:loveya:

edited to add piccy

[BlueIris]

8. Independently wealthy in Miami.

Or D.C. That could get interesting.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. .tmi.

[rbnyc]

10. I'd love to work in a place...

...where my coworkers don't drive me crazy.

[GoneOffShore]

11. South of France - near Marseilles

Working as a photographer, for wineries, restaurants and hotels.

[PassingFair]

12. Anywhere where I am debt-free, and I KNOW how much money I will get every week....until I die.

THEN, maybe I could STOP STRESSING about medical bills,
mortgages, car payments, etc...and really be able to

MAKE PLANS for our future.

Fantasy world....

[rurallib]

13. health care. That is all I ask for. Maybe some dental.

I like cold, so Canada has always been a dream.

[Rambis]

14. Cottage, turf fire, books,dog and walking distance to the pub

anywhere on the coast of Ireland or Scotland works for me.

[applegrove]

15. Oh yeah. I'd love to have a cottage as my main residence.

[nolabear]

16. House in the city, weekend house on the beach.

GOD that sounds good.

[Hotler]

19. If I won the lotto I would buy a ranch somewhere here in Colorado and..

take in a whole bunch of critters that need a good home. I have always wanted a pygmy goat.

[Tripper11]

20. Move back to Canada

Back to my home province, Ontario, somewhere in cottage country, near a lake. Peaceful, quiet, relaxing. Yet close enough to the city to partake in various activities.

[Enrique]

21. homosexuality

:hide:

[WinkyDink]

22. Pretty much in total agreement with you! Alsace in particular. Amalfi.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

24. Cruise around the Med in a decent sized

motor yacht
Doesn't need to be the size of Paul Allen's Octopus, but roomy enough for me, hubby, the dog and whatever necessary piloting/maintaining crew and can put in to small ports
Or, a cabin up in the Colorado mountains, maybe in Lake City or Ouray (not sure I spelled that right)
Or, a cottage on the coast of Maine or in SW France
Or, in a home + business in my favorite fictional place, Three Pines Quebec (Louise Penny, author) except as the newbie I would probably become the next murder victim or get framed for the crime
I am flexible but one common theme seems to be smaller places

[femmocrat]

25. My dream is a house on a beach.

I want to wake up every morning and walk on the beach and fall asleep to the sound of the waves.

[Philippine expat]

26. Pretty much the way I live half the year,

on a beach in the Philippines, buying frsh fish off the boat, picking mangos, bananas, and coconuts from my own
trees. Now if I can ever get to the point of being able to do it full time

[applegrove]

27. Sounds wonderful. I'd get bored though. I like to work.

[Philippine expat]

32. Yes I get bored

but I;ve worked for 43 years, thats enough

[Broken_Hero]

30. Somewhere with mountains, near the ocean

cold, ice/snowy winters, and predominately cooler during the summer, like places that don't get much warmer than 70.

[HaroldHecuba]

31. Coastal Ireland. Thatched roof cottage. With a cat and a fast internet connection.

A big wood burning stove.

[Kali]

33. food, shelter, health care, and meaningful work for everybody

I am happy where I am, though a few minor improvements could be made. I wish our country would stop being so stupid and greedy and would take care of the people who can't take care of themselves before we go traipsing around the world like arrogant fucks. I wish the greedy bastards that have workers and the poor by the short hairs would have to exchange places for 6 months with the people they fuck over.

sorry feeling a little disgruntled tonight. seeing the "battle" in DC, of abstract fake paper dollar world of multi-trillion dollar "debt" when normal people can't afford to buy healthy food or medicine or take a weekend trip once in a while is depressing as HELL.
